I make a point of never bad-mouthing any nation I might end up riding through.
So, 3-2 to England in the end. Never mind, we lost the battle...but still, I laughed at this:http://www.lbc.co.uk/look-trafalgar-square-dominated-by-kits-and-kilts-76587/view/30252
I would love my optimism to kick in here but being realistic I think us Jocks are in for a bit of a hammering tonight What do you guys think
Never understood the attraction of football. Rugby's more my game. Of course, being Scottish, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than support England in whatever sport (apart from motorcycle racing that is ).

There are few that combine all that and more and thats the reason its the world game.

Can't help thinking that it's a sign of where the Scottish Team is today that we get excited over a good defeat.
