thought the thread was about our chances of winning the cup in the next 50 years
hopefully we can have a better tournament than the last 2
even though we got further I thought we were worse 4 years ago
Rooney was certainly worse in South Africa
Brazil and Germany have been to 7 finals
Italy 6
Argentina 4
England 1
there was a time in 70's and early 80's
when our club sides did very well in Europe
without so many foreign stars ( a fair few decent scots at the time)
and our international results could /should have been better
but taking...
only 6 teams have won the World Cup since 1966
will we be amongst the 6 or so that will win in the next 50 years?
probably not but neither will another 200 nations
not to say it is not possible just unlikely and the usual suspects
have a better chance .
