    Will Scotland be drawn with England? 8|


    England got off lightly as have Argentina. Scotland got Brazil which is a toughie.

    Edited once, last by UK Man: Merged a post created by UK Man into this post. (December 5, 2025 at 4:13 PM).

    You been in the pub? ^^

    I'll go for them drawing every game but only if they play Brazil first. I think England will win all three.

    Its almost time for the DT Memorial tournament to get underway

    Scotland scored 4 in th first half against Bolivia in a friendly at the weekend.

    Its the first time we have scored 4 in the first 45 minutes since 1929!

    Brazil must be worried!!!!!!

    Seems like DT has started some dodgy manoeuvres

    The leading African referee who just happens to be from Somalia ( DTs favourite country) and travelling on a diplomatic passport and a full visa was not allowed entry to USA yesterday , fter 11 hours in tehnack room with the top immigration boys.

    There are also some stories about some Scottish fans being refused entry , even though their ESTA had been approved. Surely there is no truth in the rumour that these guys had been telling anti DT jokes on their social media pages...?

    I read about the Somali referee. What was the point of denying him entry? Just to underscore who’s boss? His understated reaction was classic, and sounded as if it was probably delivered with a shrug: “I guess he doesn’t like my country.”

    There are a good few stories out there.

    Here is one...

    What a bitter disappointment for this guy! I’m so sorry, and embarrassed for my country.

    Hundreds of Scotland fans only found ESTAs cancelled after coverage of scandal
    “Mine changed to pending last week and changed to travel not authorised last night. Was meant to fly out tomorrow morning and don’t have time to sort a visa.”

    I suspect this fan might be one of those refused. Francis Bondd, 41, from Lagos, is proud to be the Tartan Army’s first Nigerian member.

    They will be dressed in tartan and shouting for the Tartan Army!

    Oh no! Headline in the Chivilcoy Gazette: UK MAN RESIGNS FROM PIPE CLUB IN BREATHTAKING FURY!

    But aside from that, I also wondered about the assumption that Latin American fans would necessarily be cheering for Brazil. But the heartwarming part of that quote was about the popularity of Scottish soccer fans, who leave host cities pining for their return. That must be very rare.

    Poor show , UK Man . I would have thought you would have forced them to watch the goals from the Denmark game

Thank you for the support!
