World Cup Crunch



I have a bad feeling about the Scotland v. Macedonia clash this afternoon. The national squad's self-confidence is so low that they'll do well to go a win or even a draw, I think. Anyway, to send them luck, here's The Fall.

Well done Rob! Must admit I shared your trepidation, couldn't be happier that it was so misplaced.

Yes, good to get a result, although the chances Macedonia squandered doesn't bode well for the Holland game.

I've heard people say that the Dutch are through so won't field their strongest team and won't be as committed as usual. I think that's wrong. They'll field players who will perform out of their skins to win a place in the World Cup squad. If Scotland somehow win, it will be a really great victory.

The dutch will be difficult and won't be putting their reserves out on Wednesday night. Even if they did, it's still a daunting prospect. Ultimately, it's eleven men against eleven men, and Craig Gordon will most probably be a lot busier. Hopefully not picking the ball out of the back of his net. Need another good luck charm from you and who knows.
