Kazakhstan V Scotland


Enigma

Recommended Posts

Cannae wait for the inevitable narrative if we don't turn this around.  Can probably write yourself a bingo card now.

"They're ranked x places below Scotland"
"Embarassment"
"Lowly Kazakhstan"
"x of their players are going back to their jobs as butchers/bakers/fluffers in the morning"

When really, it's just going to be another example of why we've got this superiority complex against nations like this.  They are not the diddies they used to be.  Technically, they're clearly at least as good as us, and probably better.  If they're diddies, so are we.

Since becoming a UEFA member and playing in qualifiers since 2004 Kazakhstan have only won 4 European Championship qualifying matches.

'16 - Latvia at home

'12 - Azerbaijan at home

'08 - Armenia away & Serbia at home.

In WC qualifiers they have 3 wins.

'14 - Faroes at home

'10 Andorra home and away.

In the Nations League they won one game, Andorra at home.

We're losing 2-0 to a team with 8 competitive wins in 15 years.

The whole week, at the start of a qualifying campaign, the tone has been set by players calling off.

Bad enough if understandable for friendlies but look where it has led to...

It would be nose off to spute face to tell these guys not to come back, but McLeish had better lay down the fucking law after this.
