Scotland football team played in FIFA Football World Cup 2006; however, the team did not manage to qualify for FIFA Football World Cup Final 2006 in Germany. In fact, there are 198 nations participate in this competition. \n\nScotland football team played in Group 5 in the World Cup qualifying under UEFA continental. After finished 10 matches of qualifying, the team only managed to get 3rd place behind Italy and Norway. Eventually, Scotland did not qualify to play in the World Cup Final and Italy qualified as leader of the group. Norway did not qualify after lost to Czech Republic in playoff matches.\n\nFIFA Football World Cup Final 2006 is only for 32 the best football teams in the world to compete to earn the title of World Champion of Football. Football fan do not travel for long hour from around the world and pay thousand of EURO to watch weak team play against each others or strong team harass weak team with double digit of goals. \n\nScotland football team did qualify to play in FIFA Football World Cup Final 1998 in France. The team did not play well in the tournament and bowed out in 1st round. \n\nI went through the players in Scotland squad whose play in the World Cup 2006 qualifying. I do not see any big profile in it that can make them stand beside Ronaldinho or Thierry Henry or David Beckham in Germany this year.\n\nI do not know about you. What is your purpose of watching the World Cup? For me, I want to see competitive matches and the real World Champion of Football with marvellous skilful players and tactics. I am not supporter of Brazil football team. I hope my favourite team will do better than them this time. I respect them if they capable to win again with winning all the finest team in the world.  \n\nEnjoy your World Cup

Good questions.And I can give you an easy answer. WHY WOULD YOU PUT A PLAYER THAT HASNT EVEN PLAYED FOR HIS CLUBS STARTING LINEUP YET? Its not about the age difference,Pele was great when he was young.Its just that he hasnt gotten any experience playing would class players.To those who think its a racist Issue have an Issue themselves.Football doesnt see colors,just talent.As far as the Ethnicity,If you are born in England,then you are English.hope these answers those questions for ya.

If you have been playing football for teams, such as your school team and local kids clubs, and haven't been approached by a club by the time you are 20 then the chances are that you are simply not good enough to play professional football.\n\nOf course, there are always examples of players who somehow escaped the "scouting net", in which case you could put together a "CV" detailing your achievements (some agents use videos, particularly when trying to sell a foreign player to a team) and send it to clubs directly. I wouldn't hold out much hope of a positive response though.\n\nProbably the best thing you can do is to join an amateur team at the highest level you can, enjoy playing, and keep hoping that you will be spotted by a visiting scout.

Right now they are not that good. Not good enough to get in any major tournaments, however they have a very young squad (with the core being Celtic players). They could become quite good in the next 5 or so years.

According to Bolton's media officer, they said they wanted to reduce the average age of their player.\n\nWhen an average is taken of player's ages in the premiership, they are the oldest team in the premiership and i think they want to drop that cloak. Its sad because i think player employment should be determined by their performance.

The First International Match was played in Glasgow, Scotland on 30th. November 1872 when Scotland played England. The Scottish FA did not then exist - it was not founded until three months later. The team England played that day was actually the oldest Scottish club team, Queen's Park - founded 1863.\n\nThe First Professional Players were reputedly two Scots -John Love, and Fergus Suter, who played for a north of England club called Darwen in the 1879 season - and were paid for their soccer talent

I'm not sure I can get all six but Frank McDougall of Aberdeen was top scorer in the mid-eighties. 84-85? I'm also fairly certain Willie Pettigrew was leading scorer one season towards the end of the 1970's. 76-77? Wasn't there also a St Mirren player at the head of the scoring list one season?

I can speak from my own experience.  I am a better player now than I was in my early 30s.  And I know that when I play with younger players who have less experience, they may be able to outrun me and outmove me, but what pays off over the course of a game is experience, ability to pass the ball, read the plays and players, etc.\n\nNow, with regard to Ronaldo -- in his case, it is fitness, rather than age, that is a factor there.  You are correct, he is no longer "young" -- but neither are other players who are still in the game and playing at the World Cup.  He has been off for two months, and it shows.  Reference Charmaine Hooper, who plays for the Canadian Women's National team -- she's in her mid to late 30s, and is arguably one of the best women in the game.  Mia Hamm, Brandy Chastain -- they're in their 30s now as well, and are still very strong players.\n\nTo sum up -- it's not age as much as fitness, and in many cases, age and experience will win out over youth and speed.

They would fare okay, don't think they would challenge in their 1st season but they would improve as football teams as playing better sides has to improve you.  Don't think it will ever happen though.  The other teams need the revenue that comes from the big 2 in Scotland.

Depending on the sport, a professional athlete has a retirement age as early as 30. The money that they make til then needs to support their family and lifestyle for the rest of their lives. Sadly, not all athletes have the foresight to plan out their finances early in their career.

Thats a really insulting poorly researched question. Many Sunday league games are much better to watch and higher skilled than Scottish football.
