English fans are hated abroad just as much as the Scottish. England done shite as well for years until recently and prob only managed to produce decent players like gerrard etc because the sheer size of populations few would get through
Firstly, I'm well aware how hated the fans are, yet that seems to have no bearing on performance of national teams.
England done shite as well for years?
World Cup Finals:
1950 - First Round Group Stage
1954 - Quarter Final
1958 - First Round Group Stage
1962 - Quarter Final
1966 - Winner
1970 - Quarter Final
1974 - Did not qualify
1978 - Did not qualify
1982 - Second Group Stage
1986 - Quarter Final
1990 - 4th Place
1994 - Did not qualify
1998 - Last 16
2002 - Quarter Final
2006 - Quarter Final
2010 - Second Round
2014 - First Round Group Stage
2018 - 4th Place
So, out of 18 tournaments, England have
1. won it once (5.5%)
2. Fourth place twice (11%)
3. Quarter finals 6 times (33%%)
4. Last 16 once (5.5%)
5. Second round twice (11%)
6. First round 3 times (16.5%)
7. Failed to qualify 3 times (16.5%)
Not exactly 'done shite' when failure to qualify is half the number of quarter final appearances, and they've reached 15 out of 18 finals.
Scotland on the other hand:
1950 Refused to send team *
1954 First Round
1958 First Round
1962 Did Not Qualify
1966 Did Not Qualify
1970 Did Not Qualify
1974 First Round
1978 First Round
1982 First Round
1986 First Round
1990 First Round
1994 Did Not Qualify
1998 First Round
2002 Did Not Qualify
2006 Did Not Qualify
2010 Did Not Qualify
2014 Did Not Qualify
2018 Did Not Qualify
Out of 18 tournaments, Scotland have:
1. First Round 8 times (44%)
2. Refused to send team 1 time (5.5%)
3. Failed To Qualify 9 times (50%)
If England have done shite, how do you describe Scotland's record?
