Should we cheer on Scotland?

At least Scotland will triumph in a group that some outstanding teams are in, like Italy the world cup winners and France, the world cup runners up to name but two. Sure we (Scotland) have
experienced rough times from a part country with 5 million citizens and limited choice, however it does make's you wonder what we could do with another part of the country that has 55million citizens
and a large choice of players.
i'd like to see the Scots there, just not at the expense of one of the world cup finalists.... It's a pity they're not in another group
I think the important sentence in Mark's blog is "Recalling recent underdog achievements is not a pleasant experience, unless you're directly affected". Scottish fans obviously want them to get there
(hence the reaction), just like we'd prefer our bunch of jokers in Ireland to have reached the finals as well. It's not like he's saying it would be a tragedy for football if ye qualified, just that
he'd prefer to watch France or Italy next summer which in many eyes is fair comment. As one Irish friend of mine said before he boarded a flight for Japan in 2002: "the great tragedy is that Gary
Breen is going to this world cup and dennis bergkamp isn't".
having read your other blogs i see your not a total spaz and ive even given your comments a better rating ok,Also as for the Scotland situation no team can ever produce totally sincillating football
even the great Brazil and Dutch teams of the past with talent like Pele,Zico,Cruyff etc etc in them have not always lit up the big tournaments,As a smaller nation we should be supporting the underdog
is it not Italy/France's own doing if they do not qualify for the finals after all they know what is at stake and if they fail they only have their own inconsistency to blame!,Also it would be a
crying shame for the best supporters in the world(the tartan army)not to make it to Austria/Switzerland as we can light up any tournament with our passionate support even if our team is not the
greatest in the world and you can always guarantee a party win lose or draw!.So if Vieira isnt there Ferguson is
