If Croatia can reach the World Cup Final...
...then what is Scotland doing so badly wrong that they can't even qualify? Scotland's population is only 5 million, but Croatia's is actually slightly smaller, so that's not a legitimate excuse.
The footballing authorities need to take a long. hard look at themselves. What do they care about most: Rantic? Having a nice office and a free lunch? All expenses paid trips abroad?
Whatever it is, they have been a complete failure at helping produce the standard of footballer required to compete with even half-decent international sides, never mind reaching a World Cup Final.
