Are Thailand and Scotland competing as a joint team now?? Lets hope we never play Trinidad and Tobago again then... 44 players on the pitch at one time would be awful crowded. Mind you...we'd still lose to Slovenia  Oh and 23 is pretty pathetic for World Cup semi-finalists who only have to play the Maldives and Vietnam between tournaments!! |

North Korea (112) beat Thailand (67) 4-1 tonight... What does that say about Scottish football?  |

It's not like you guys drew at home to the team ranked 86th last year or anything either  |

based on our stunning victories over the likes of Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands no doubt. Actually here are NZ's results from the entire calendar year before playing Scotland... A whopping 7 games in 12 months. And if it wasn't for the fact that we were building up to the Confederations cup then you could have expected that to be five games in the year. Poland (POL) 2:0 (0:0) New Zealand (NZL) Estonia (EST) 3:2 (1:2) New Zealand (NZL) Australia (AUS) 0:1 (0:0) New Zealand (NZL) New Zealand (NZL) 3:0 (2:0) Vanuatu (VAN) New Zealand (NZL) 6:1 (3:0) Solomon Islands (SOL) New Zealand (NZL) 9:1 (4:1) Papua New Guinea (PNG) New Zealand (NZL) 4:0 (1:0) Tahiti (TAH) We just never play any football. If we hadn't qualified for the Confederations cup last year it's possible we would have played just one game all season. And even that game was as OFC champions v Iran so it's arguable whether we would have played even one game. Doesn't do much for our game that's for sure. We just lost 4-2 to Vanuata recently  |
