Can Scotland Do It?

by cragman286 (U9644062) 15 November 2007
comment on the article

It's the big question that has been preying on every scotsmans mind since we beat france in Paris, can we beat Italy?
Lets look at the facts: Italy have never beaten scotland at hampden, scotland have beaten world champions (England '67) before and scotland beat france TWICE. Hmmm.....
I am arrogant enough to believe that we will beat Italy but when i think abput it, this will be our toughest game not just because of the circumstances, but because Italy play like Scotland, they defend, defend, defend and then counter attack. But I still think we'll do it...

I'd love to see Scotland qualify but seems pretty unlikely. I've a 'premonition' that Italy will walk away with a 2-1 win. Hope I'm wrong...

av saw on here a few english people going on about "how we dont support egland" and "how on sky sports yday there was a guy in glasgow asking what we thought the score would be then if we wanted england to go though and if we have sympathy for them"

when did an reporter go down and ask the english if they feel sorry for scotland not getting through in the past? thats why alot/most scotish people do not like to see england win becouse he media not that they are anti english just anti english media.

so if you dont like what is being said dont write anything or just dont read it

dont really care bot that anyway got more important things to think about, my own team MON SCOTLAND

Its going to be a very hard game but if the fans in Hampden get behind the team from the start and constantly get behind the team it will give them a big boost.But whatever the score I am proud of the Scotland team theyve done us proud

Hi it's Justin and Colin here your atypical Scottish men from the set of our new show, 'I'll clean your downstairs if you polish my brass'.

Just to say we're both RIGHT behind the Tartan Army. Directly behind.

taralexamain someone who understands nothing whatsoever about football, your views should be kept solely to yourself, as you just paint a horrible image for your average Scot. I hope both Italy & Scotland qualify because Scotland have been fabulous with the exception of the match vs Georgie. Good Luck

Austria will be better place for the style of the itallians and the sophistication of the english, last thing the austrians needed was a load of buck fast drinking hooligans...
