Scotland v Holland 9/09/09

Oh what's the point.

Scotland have to win it to make it even more painful for their fans when they eventually don't go through.

So...?

I hate friendlies

We have to beat Macedonia on Saturday first, which we probably won't, considering that Iceland are the only team we have scored against so far.

Hope you win so you have something to play for wednesday. We don't need a boring friendly

They may take your points, but they will never take your freeeedom!! KABLAAAAH!!

Apparently even if Scotland win the two next games, it still probably won't be good enough.

Good enough for me if you spank those Dutch bastards.

I think 2 wins might just be enough for playoff spot.

But Scotland won't win twice.

John Carew will lead Norway to 2nd.

There could be some interesting playoffs. Portugal, France, Germany...

GERMANY

Germany will easily win their group...and it looks like Portugal are on their way to finish third....

Croatia and Russia will be in the play offs though

Absolutely not sure about that.

Portugal have got 2 games yet to play against Hungary, who are in 2nd. Would not be at all surprised to see them win both and take the spot, however poor they've been so far.

Assuming Russia win their 2 games this week, it's a direct play-off in Moscow where winner takes top spot. I know Germany always qualify with ease, but it's nice to imagine they'll fuck it up once

It will be a real game now (for us anyway). Hopefully the Dutchies won't try too hard.

Shame McFadden is suspended.....

Even if Scotland win, only the best 8 runners-up will go to the play-offs! No idea if Scotland is with those 8 though.

As it stands:

Imagine a Germany-France play-off! Its still possible! Anyway, its gonna be very hard for Scotland to achieve that, since the others all have some more games to play!

That'd be awesome.

Knowing Germany, if they do finish 2nd, they'll draw Latvia.

Yeah, Germany would most likely draw them yes.

Ireland vs N-Ireland would also be tasty! Shame they cant present a united Ireland team.

Sons of Scotland,

Gordon is out for the match I heard, that is a wee bit dissapointing! But the famous Scotish fightingspirit + the hell of Hamden will make up for that I guess! On paper you might me outnumbered, but so was William Wallace when he fought against the English tyranny!

You have everything in your own hands, dont let it slip away.

Good luck

Are you Oranje going to play full strength tonight, or go easy on the poor wee Scots?

Well it might not look like it, but its the best we have these days Still better then the German team though, as always.

How serious do you think Holland will take this game because I think I will put money on Holland. Also do you that this will be the line up or are you guesing?

Not even face paint and cries of "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!" are going to save the Sweaties.

4-0 to the Oranges.

Wesley "Oompah Loompah" Schneider to bag a brace,

Kuyt from 3 yards off his arse,

Robin Van Persie 30 yard slalom run and cool finish, then quickly back to the team hotel for a spot of rape

I hope they summon the spirit of Archie Gemmill and score tonight. I don't mind losing this one.

RVP and Robben will be out to avoid injuries and the midget wont like the pyshical nature of the game. Can see Scotland getting at least a draw.

I odn't know the line up, but I don't think Holland will lose this one. It have to take a lot of cock ups for us to lose this one. That, or Babel starting.

It's on teletext, they are usually right. Holland will take it quite serious, cause another win will Holland put in pot 1 for the draw. Only 4 European countries will get into pot 1.
