"Scotland [2 - 2] Italy"

U21, that is
Hoorah

We took the lead twice.
And our keeper got red carded apparently
As did two italians


3-0 FOR US TOMORROW THOUGH!1

I think it's highly unlikely that Scotland will now make the play-offs, and it's a shame the way the fixtures have worked out in the group. They got hardly any points against teams early on,teams they should have beaten, and would have beaten if they were playing then as they are now. When they get it together they have two games against Italy, which is to be followed up by a trip to Norway. Had they have played those games when they were crap anyway, and lost as expected, they'd still have the chance to get more points agaisnt the weaker teams they've already thrown points away against. If you know what I mean.

Now, I suppose, it's a case of doing well in the last few games, push the ranking up a little if possible, try to finish third in the group if second proves impossible. That will build confidence in the squad. Then, I guess it's fingers crossed for the European qualifying draw.

Kudos to the Scots for that result, only managed to catch the first thirty minutes and the last ten, but it looked like a excellent and passionate performance.

Funny how football turns out sometimes, isn't it? Had the goals been scored the other way around, Scotland would have been delighted and Italy devastated.

Now both sides go away feeling just a little bit gutted.

Hahaha.

You couldn't have made yourself look like more of a moron if you tried.

1 Italy 7 4 2 1 10 6 4 14
2 Norway 7 3 3 1 9 5 4 12
3 Slovenia 7 2 3 2 8 8 0 9
4 Belarus 7 1 4 2 10 9 1 7
5 Scotland 7 1 4 2 4 5 -1 7

If Scotland win all 3 games, they'll have 16 points.

Then all we'll need to worry about is Norway, if they earn more than 4 points, then we're buggered, otherwise we'll get to the playoffs. Simple.

Unfortuantely, they'll only have to play Belarus and Moldova.

Fortunately, Moldove won last night, so they could at least draw them (Unlikely though), and Belarus are a bit of a dark horse - they scored 3 against Italy, but lost to Moldova last night.

The other possibility is that Italy lose all three of their games, but that's less likely.

That's right, sllag(I can't say that?) Scotland off.

Even though your multi-millionaire superstars are playing dire these days. Then you'll go to the World Cup thinking you'll win before getting knocked out in extra time by Uruguay or something.

By can't... do you actually mean can?

Because that would make a lot more sense.

You can't qualify for the World Cup now so are looking to Euro 2008 qualification

What does that even mean?

Well done on avoiding the main point entirely
