It has to be said it's been a disastrous qualification campaign for the Netherlands. This is the first time the Dutch have failed to qualify for a major tournament since the 2002 World Cup. In last years World Cup they finished overall in 3rd place. An inquest will no doubt be held as to how such a talented team failed so miserably. As usual player unrest and spats behind the scenes has no doubt played a major part in all of this this. What a shame and I'd imagine it must be something of a national embarrassment

Yes well firstly well done to my UK and European Counterparts, unfortunately Scotland's dream is over Yet another tournament that we won't be participating in. Just to add salt to the wounds Poland scored an equaliser to level the scores to 2-2 in the dying minutes.
A very sad and dejected Scotsman tonight, my plans for next year lie in tatters Incidently my beloved Dundee United team lie rock bottom of the Scottish Premiership and still without a manager, can things football wise get any worse for me |
