Here’s a quick rundown of all the major international trophies handed out this year - continental tournaments for both clubs and countries, world championships at the youth level and the Women's World Cup. I've also included the major domestic titles won in each country covered in Albion Road. Only three clubs completed league and cup doubles in 2007 - Levski Sofia of Bulgaria, Linfield in Northern Ireland and Celtic in Scotland, though Chelsea did a "cup double" by winning both the FA Cup and League Cup in England.
