Come on Scotland!!!! :beers:


That is all :mrgreen:

ssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!!

Please don't mention this, as it doesn't exist (according to the amount of Sky Sports news coverage).

They're still busy comparing the euro u21 Eng v Hol penalty shoot out to the 1990 WC Eng v Germany one, obviously that tournament was much more important.

Surely it'll be on Scottish TV or something. I think you'll find as you make up about 2% of the British population, nobody gives a flying fuck apart from you lot. On the Scottish news yesterday they interviewed a butcher called Gordon Brown, as the new Prime Minister is also called Gordon Brown, fucking divvies.

How the fuck do you know that???   Also as his name is James Gordon Brown that news item does seem pretty pointless.

2% of the popualtion, about 25% of the Cabinet (including the head honcho).  

We rule, so to speak.

Its live on BBC Scotland. But you are right, there has been no mention of it anywhere else. :-))(

8.5% actually.

But then 1 in 10 of the population wasnt born in the UK

Do you mean about the Scottish news? We have Sky Digital and as both of my flatmates are Scottish we tend to watch the local news up there.

I have nothing against the Scots in general (apart from the ones that called me English cunt etc) but you don't half moan like women about anything and everything!

It'll be on Canadian TV as well.

:soapy tit wank:



oh and interestingly, only 3.35% of Scotland population was born overseas.

That'll be increasing. In Edinburgh before I moved away, the amount of Eastern European people coming to live in the Capital City was quite staggering.

they're probably all playing for hearts that's why

thats because no one wants to live there.

If this tournament was of any interest then it would have been on tv.

I also heard Scotland have just won the tiddlywinks world championships...hurrah!!

 :D

I like that sonic!!

Ah right.  To be fair you have a point about the moaning, I have a lot of contact with Scots at work and they're either salt of the earth, real decent blokes, or miserable bastards!!!

You never know what you're gonna get.  I like it though, you know where you stand with the Scottish.

Can't really argue with that comment either! :mrgreen:

What like the u21 euros? Lionel messi played for Argentina in the last one (and would still qualify for this one!) Better than half the shit they have on eurosport at the moment. And Sky Sports for that matter.

yawn

Did you actually watch the Euro's Will? or did you go to the tiddlywinks championships that were being held in Albania?

mexico will romp this, watch out for dos santos.

Poland beat Brazil yesterday 1-0 and played the majority of the game with 10 men.  We'd hammer Mexico  :D

i didnt realise poland even played international football.

you learn something new every day.

seeing as poland didnt even get to the semis of the european champs, then I dout they will do much this time around!!!

Well i hope you are not expecting Scotland to do as well in this tourney as they did in the euro's, as if memory recalls, Scotland had a lot of luck getting into the finals.

I never expect anything when it comes to Scotland (they are a bit like the Spanish inquisition in that respect) But they are a good bunch of kids and proved that by getting through 2 fairly hard qualifying rounds, plus the group stages and got to the final. Looking forward to the Japan game tonight :beers:

Scotland are 1-0 down to the Japs at half time, and to be fair, the Japs would be 3 or 4 up if they had a decent striker

2-0 now

3-1 final score

pathetic performance. The defence looked likethey were playing their first ever game of football! And the goalkeeper needs to learn how to play as well!

Mexico are playing Gambia at the moment, and Gambia have dominated so far, but Dos Santos just scored a fucking amazing goal.

After 59 mins its Mexico 1-0 Gambia

2-0 Mexico,  Gambia poor men forward and Mexico pip them off on the counter attack.

Mexico national teams in general seem to play defend for long periods of the game, and then counter attack

where are you watching this?

3-0 full time and it was on eurosport

oh bollocks i didnt realise, how good was dos santos?

He was pretty quiet, but the service to him was pretty poor.  He scored a superb goal out of nothing, and Mexicos goalie was top draw.  

Go onto http://www.fifa.com/  and you can see highlights of the game - its a must watch simply for Santos amazing goal

that link didnt work for me but got it on youtube

dos santos is pure class. fucking great goal, great build up to second too. :D

Poland just got pasted 6-1 to USA, and Freddy Adu played amazing and scored some cracking goals

You probably wish it doesn't exist now. Scotland played 3, lost 3. Pathetic!  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Just watched the highlights of that. I hope he plays in the premiership when a european club takes him.

he's actually routinely quite poor against the defenders in the MLS.

which just goes to show what level poland's defence is at.

Tis true. Real Salt Lake have got one win in fourteen games - Adu scoring only once, saying that he's only scored 12 league goals in his career thus far.

Put the kid in a genuinly good squad and he could be something special
