This will depend on the world famous at nothing SFA forward thinking for once in their life's, France over 20 years ago started youth initiatives which blossomed into a European and world cup winning nation, tho Scotland may not reach those heights as a nation Scotland should be expected to reach European and world cups on a regular basis, if only the Scotland football club could perform on the pitch as well as the tartan army fans have performed of it.

I honestly believe that England could win it but, they won´t, as you say they have a strong team on paper but unfortunately on the pitch they never seem to produce that magic that they are meant to posses. I can say the same for Spain where i stay, they have had and still have an extremely good team on paper but when it comes down to it they never seem to be able to play toghether just like England. Now don´t you think that this could have something to do with all the foreign players in the leagues nowadays?? What is Football going to be like in 5 years, i mean look at countries like Scotland etc. who dont have a good player anymore because the youth sistem has gone down the drain, i just hope this does not happen in England or Spain although it looks like its happening now.

Qualifying takes over a year and clubs would not want to release players for internatinal games if they had to a international competition more often. Don't forget you have the european championships every 4 years, and the african nations cup and copa america also!

gutted for ya..T&T brought something different to the world cup..im welsh so therefore will never see my country in the finals..so best of luck to all the other smaller countries who still got a chance to qualify

yes, I think the mixture of experienced and young players this time (Figo, Deco, Ronaldo) is more promising than in the last years.\nSo they will surely better their performance from the last world cup. Is it enough to go very far? Difficult, as they will play either Argentina or Netherlands in the knock out stages..

Lucky to win, but we did, so thats good.\n\nhowever if we play like that in the world cup we might as well give our place to Scotland!

Just not good enough to match the higher International standard, as defeats to Portugal and Argentina showed.\n\nThe Confed Cup is a friendly tournament, this is the REAL thing.

This was a televised event and first-team players took part.\nIt was good to watch and a pity it didn't last long.\nI seem to remember Dundee won one of the competitions, possibly around 1988.

Give us something to compare with then. Yeah it is excessive but then the Scots don't have world class teams in anything.

Very unlikely, although many people still look at GermAny more for their awesome reputation rather than current playing ability.\n\nThis is more like the the Euro 92, which they hosted. Although they reached the final without actually playing well, they lost to Denmark. I expect something similar this year. Germany will reach the semis possibly, but will fall short of winning the trophy.

No, but they will make it to at least the quarter finals.They r the host,i don't think fifa would let them loose before they make it out of there group.It would be bad for business.

Not me. Sorry. You have to be realistic. \n\nThen again.. their confederations cup form was dazzeling. ;)

I am Scottish and have been supporting England all throughout the world cup and will continue to do so. However , I have no time for small minded people who still believe there is rivalry between scot's and english - so I will not b supporting Andy Murray if the above comments are true
