Can you believe group J ?

Mental.

If anyone is doubting these fairly new nations arent good enough for international football then check it out.

I'd post it if I knew what I was doing ☹

Stop picking fights dude.

In international football terms these teams are fairly new historically ok.

You know exactly what I meant.

I just find it amusing that no one bats an eyelid when the Croatians beat the Germans (well not since 1998) but when their fellow former Yugoslav republic neighbours North Macedonia (previously FYR Macedonia) do it suddenly its a shock

Wonder what the score would have been if Germany had played the whole of Macedonia.

Simple.

Croatia have established themselves as a fantastic team who have reached the final of a world cup and were the 3rd best team in the world once.

Macedonia are notably a decent team but have never had a result of this magnitude therefore one could be surprised yes?

[tom_widdows]

And Yugoslavia were twice the 4th best team in the world (two world cup semi finals) and twice the 2nd best team in Europe reaching the european championship final twice. 
Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Slovenia have all played at major tournaments and North Macedonia will be at Euro 2020 this summer.
Montenegro reached the playoffs for Euro 2012 losing out to another supposedly 'fairly new' country the Czech Republic
Kosovo reached the playoffs for Euro 2020 losing out to North Macedonia.

That part of the world has a proven record in international sport.

Frankly its lazy and patronising to label any of the former eastern block countries as not good enough for international football.

7 world cups and 7 european championships since the break up of the USSR, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia . With the exception of Montenegro (2006) and Kosovo (2013) none of the countries from the eastern block are 'fairly new' to International Football

What's lazy or patronizing?

If you actually read what I wrote I was backing these nations.

And it is an amazing result for North Macedonia to beat Germany.

That's why it's called a shock result.

I think it's lazy for you to not see my point.

Friendlies announced for build up to Euros against Holland and Luxembourg.

Presume the Algarve trip is to help aclimatize to the scorching temperatures of Euro 2020

Allegedly the Oriam and Murray Park were already booked when we qualified so having to go abroad to get a training camp.

[tom_widdows]

Seems bizarre when Lennoxtown and Cormack Park will surely be available
But when does anything with the SFA ever make sense

[tlg1903]

Mcburnie ruled out of the euros they injury.    I'm sure we are all devastated at this news

[HaarDon]

Haha phew tag.

Least that czech republic player is out too.

We just need Harry Kane to call De Gea  ..Dago now.

A real shame for the lad.

McBurnie and Jack, a couple of huns who would never have been in the team anyway.

Good riddance to them.

Jack would definitely have been in. Now we can go back to McTominay in midfield.

[tup1]

No doubt McBurnie will be supporting England, he's said himself he can't be arsed with Scotland duty.

Huns are bad for team morale so this is all good news for our chances.

I still detest Ferguson and McGregor for their disrespectful hunnish behaviour years ago when in the Scotland team.

Couple of chunts.

Ferguson being the most over-rated shite ever in Scottish football.

The Aberdeen fan in me finds it highly amusing.  The Scotland fan not so much especially with Macgregors form going off a cliff.
