Sorrowful Scotland And An Expectant England
Scotland’s dram of getting to Euro 2008 has been ended by an Italian victory on Saturday. This is a real pity, they had been doing so well. But coming third in a group including France and Italy is successful indeed. To have got through, and causing the dropping out of either of those teams would have been incredible.
Whilst there was bad news for Scottish football on Saturday, there was good news for England, as Russia lost to Israel, putting England’s chance of staying in the competition back into their own hands. To get through, England now need to just not lose to Croatia. So long as they get at least one point, then they are definitely in the main part of Euro 2008.
If Scotland had got through, there is no doubt that English supporters would have supported them in the competition had they got through, in any match except that was not vs England. But can Scottish supporters do the same? Unfortunately it doesn’t seem likely.

I always support any British or Irish team in football competitions, but they never support England in return. Genuinely one-way traffic.
