Oh please ... what did they do now? Put five balls in the microwave and the other five in the fridge?
Don't go on like that just because you're unsatisfied with the draw. Doesn't show a great deal of good sportsmanship.
Any mathematicians here want to work out the odds of the five larger teams avoiding each other?
Strange...why do you think I'm dissatified with the draw, or that I'm a bad sportsman?
I really don't mind who Scotland got in the draw...I don't want them at the finals next year because they are so poor they would make us the laughing stock of the tournament...the competitions wipping boys.
And please don't assume that because we draw the Netherlands that we are trembling in our boots or that they were the team everyone wanted to aviod...if they were that good they would already be in the finals, and for that matter would have been at last years world cup...they ain't no big shakes anymore.
Spain would have swept us away, Croatia passed us off the park, and Wales overpowered us...Turkey was the team we wanted to avoid. We didn't want to go to Hell. In fact all the teams in the draw are better than Scotland.
To be honest I think the Dutch are more relieved at getting Scotland than we are dissapointed at getting the Netherlands. You would have struggled against most other teams
'nuff said
