But it's great comedy for us Scots. They claim they're world-beaters, yet **** themselves when a teenager hurts himself......

Well. when you only have two players...
But they're in a pretty easy group, so there shouldn't be mass suicides from not getting out of "pools".

Hey he's no teenager- he is 20! He is also quite easily our best player- a genuine match winner.

It is totaly gutting as an Englishman. But I do find it amusing that people assume that with Rooney fit we would definetely win!

I agree he's a bloody good player, BUT your lot's two best players are too similar in style to play together, ie Lampard and Gerrard. Your only world-class defender hurt himself at the weekend (although it doesn't appear too serious), so things ain't looking too good, especially when you've got a manager who taught our Deputy Prime Minister everything he knows.....
