I have seriously entered bizarro world today, either that or in the last few months Scotland has managed to develop a good football team without me knowing…
It all began on Saturday, Scotland drew 1-1 with Italy, arguably one of the great footballing nations… Scotland, who have been, shall we say, utter shit for the last 4 years, drew with them, infact they were 15 minutes away from beating them… How bizarre.
Onto today, Scotland actually beat Norway 2-1… Last I heard, Norway were supposed to be a good team.
Of course, this leads to the usual uphill struggle to get 2nd place in the qualifying group (but not impossible) and then somehow overcome a hard as hell playoff against some European superpower who had a bad game and slipped to 2nd in their group…
Is there really anyother way?
To make things even more bizarre… Northern Ireland beat England 1-0, Northern Ireland who, at one point, couldn’t score a goal for years and years, beat the almighty England, I wouldn’t have put any money on that happening in my lifetime…

It may be a bizarre world but, right now I’m loving it.
Possibly not the same for our one English colleague… who is noticeably quieter today..
That European super power might be The Cech Republic (or Romania) as I think there is some play-off factor already woked out.
