Performance or Points?

I have to sheepishly find myself agreeing.

Might as well get the pants performances over and done with against the pants teams.

What group are Scotland in again?

why do people always say this?

your not a daft man Moves, so why be sarcastic...

...Sarcasm is the lowest form of Humour.

Scotland will win the 2046 world cup when it will be renamed the Universe Cup since we will be able to space travel by then, and it will include teams from Saturn, Mars, Venus and the 2046 hosts Uranus

So you see MrMoves, Scotland are going to do it in Uranus in 2046  

People ALWAYS say that because Scots have a very high opinion of Scottish football and a very low opinion of English football.  Yet the standard of Scottish football is dire.

Like many Scots you're an ABE (Anyone But England) which is tragic.  I couldn't care less about Scottish football if truth be told, I suspect the same is true for most England fans, but if Scotland (or Wales or N.Ireland) were in the WC I would happily support them as a British team.

Scots should be behind England in the WC.  If you're anti-England ask yourself why you need someone to hate.

Some great posts here.

The one about coverage of Ireland in the last world cup was very true - I was very suprised to see all the coverage but was loving it!

Yes the media overdo it on England. (The next England manager thing was a joke) Yes every reporter and pundit has their say whether they know anything about football or not. Yes it's annoying as hell when footy fans who watch f'all football all year (at their own admission) come out to explain why England are so great/so bad when they haven't really got a clue, but that's why the world cup is so great - it matters to almost everyone.

Also, there is nothing wrong with optimism. Being a Liverpool fan through last years Champions League, I learned that sometimes you have to dare to believe.

p.p.s. so the Scotish papers post pics of England fans fighting. Wonder if they went looking for a story  . News flash, young men, drinking in large numbers and you will always see events of this nature. Happens in towns and cities every night, even in Scotish ones I believe. What has become less frequent is the ugly organised mass fighting of English hooligans. And you seem to be so proud by this news story as if to win some major point, I wonder if you nationistic papers are so quick to carry the story of Scotland being the most voilent country in Europe as reported in a EU study. Also have to point out that when I went to the old home internationals many years ago the fighting was not exclusively the English but then again guess you don't want to hear that.

A couple of points here - Scotland fans tend not to get involved in random fighting with locals and their families while supposidly watching their national team - Fair Play award.
Next - it was reported on the front pages of most Scottish red tops that Scotland was one of the most violent countries - meantion of Glasgow being particulairy violent - so your silly comment is baseless. Of course the fighting wasn't exclusivily the English - I don't think they would be that stupid to fight with themselves. I think you will find, though, that the fighting was STARTED by the English.

Would you support Germany as a Eureopean team?

Because of opinions like yours.
