Apart from that one time, they have been papped oot by the Germans every time they have played them in a major tournament.
That is the kind of omen I want to see and lets hope the sequence continues.
Vorsprung durch technik, Deutchland uber alles etc etc

In 1966, the UK was governed by a popular Government which had won 48% of the popular vote, held 57% of the seast and was in a strong position to pursue it's programme of helping those in society who were most needy.
Erm, which thread is this?

In 1966 Spain were the reigning European champions
North Korea played in there only other World Cup in 1966
England drew their opening game in 1966
The omens are there, England are going to win the world cup.
On a more sobering note, by making the quarter finals, the Ghana team have proven themselves to be more successful than any Scotland team in the 60 years we have competed for this competition. We really have to buck up, maybe if we worried less about England and looked at ourselves.

Also don't understand why wanting England to get beat should have any impact on how well we do, are you suggesting if we want england to win we would have beat Norway and Holland in the qualifiers?

If it was down to population then the USA and China would be finalists every year. Northern Ireland has a better record than us, and they have a quarter of our population.
Maybe if we had a hard look at ourselves instead of crowing about england, we'd actually put things right. Maybe that's too much like hard work for some.
The fact is we have always under achieved, and our record is an embarrassment.

"Two thousand and ten" is for people who still haven't figured out that the last decade is over. Were they saying "One thousand, nine hundred and sixty six" back then?

New Zealand had a decent World Cup and went out unbeaten. The fact they qualified at all makes them better than us. Population 4.6million. Rugby is the sport of choice for the vast majority so the %age actually playing football will be much smaller than in ScotlandEvery gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

Add together the individual digits of 1966.................22. Multiply that by 100 ( the number of years it will take England to win another World Cup)..............2200. Take away 190 (the number of years it will take us to win the World Cup)..................... 2010. Spooky, eh?

I actually agree with you about the population thing though, i normally argue with people who use that as justification as being *****, the point i was trying to make though is that being worse than Ghana shouldn't be any source of embarrasment, they're a decent side with much more resources than us, we need to be looking at similar sized countries and ask why they're continually performing better than us, not comparing ourselves to the likes of England.

I completely agree that Scotlands record in recent years is an absolute disgrace and people should be hung for it, i don't see why having a rivalry with England would have any influence on how pish we are though, do you think the people with influence at the SFA sit at meetings slagging the English instead of trying to improve our game?

My feeling is that the game is so firmly entrenched in our culture here that change is going to be near enough impossible. Nearly every other country in the world has developed their systems later on and founded them on more modern methods.
If some of the posts on Hibs.net throughout the season are anything to go by, there are far too many dinosaurs involved with the game, who still think it is about natural ability aligned to physical fitness. Concepts like sport psychology, and tactics are beyond them.
I know this will divide opinion, but the failure to understand something like Colin Nish's role in the Hibs team sums up the knee jerk ignorance of a lot of Scottish fans.
Another thing about our game is that we will not listen to outsiders. Rinus Michaels was drafted in to help us develop our game 20 odd years ago. I'd be surprised if a lot of fans know who Rinus MIchaels was, let alone are aware that he was here.
That speaks volumes to me about a country living in the past. Jeez it was only last week that the media were describing Rangers as one of the biggest clubs in the world. Mind you, parochialism is founded on people believing the world ends at the boundaries of their parish.
Maybe, especially because our club game has nowhere to go, it is time to adopt the German model, and focus on the national team.

The height of our ambition is to beat England. Or, because we can't do that, or aren't able to carve out an opportunity to do so, our ambition is for everyone else to beat England.
That's actually pathetic for a country which is supposed to take it's football extremely seriously.
Ghana's ambition is much higher than that.
And, much to the chagrin of the vast majority in Scotland, so is England's.

As much as we'd like to be, we're not England's rivals.

The last time we played them in a major tournament we beat them.
The last time we played them in a meaningful game we pumped them.
The last time we played them in a friendly, we beat them.
And finally, we haven't lost a penalty shoot-out for four years!!!
