SCOTLAND - THE WORLD'S UNLUCKIEST NATION

Scotland are a nation who used to be regulars at World Cups & European Championships. They've now qualified for UEFA EURO 2020 but haven't been part of a tournament since the World Cup in 1998.

Past heroes such as Jock Stein & Alex Ferguson have led them to the world's biggest stages. But, it's their modern day hero, Steve Clarke who has guided them into EURO 2020. They kick off their EUROs campaign vs. Czech Republic in a few days. How far can the Scotland football team go in EURO 2020?

Will it go down to goal difference again?

As you can see from 1950 and 54, the SFA has forever been absolutely useless and will never change. Good vid as always

We all know about that famous goal in 1978 against Holland by archie we get reminded every time we watch trainspotting 🤣🤣🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

Craig Burley holds two records. Last person to score for score for Scotland at a major tournament and also sent off at one. Cracking video as always Sam

It isn't just in football either. Got robbed of a place in the rugby world cup final in 2015 by some truly incompetent refereeing. Also had a very dodgy decision go against them in this years Six Nations in their game against Wales.

Was Born 2001, sister was born 98, my dad would have never imagined his kids would be 20 and 23 respectively when we next played at a tournament, managed to get a ticket to the fan zone for Croatia, and cant wait to watch us at a tournament with my dad and sister and a few drinks on 2 weeks time, gonna be class, love the videos as well mate

Another great video mate but hopefully we have something to cheer this year.i have been to quite a few of these comps and seen the highs and the lows.ITALIA 90, SWEDEN 92, EURO 96, FRANCE 98 and going to Wembley next week.

Thanks for the history of Scotland at the World Cup and Euros.

[scottw.]

For me, this tourney comes down to how we start off. If we can win our opening game, then we have a real shout of progressing, even if we lose at Wembley(which i fully expect), i'd take a 1-0 or a 2-1 loss. Though i have a gut feeling we'll go into the final group game knowing a point could be sufficient should the result of England's final game work in our favour.
We'll get our point and there'll be injury time at Wembley. A last minute goal will knock us out on goal difference. We'll miss out on being one of the best 3rd place teams by a goal.

Would be a massive achievement if they qualify for the last 16, I think they will!

[ewanstarrs]

Keep up the good videos mate you deserve a lot more subscribers

[michaelbond]

Thanks Sam for another braw video. Keep doing you

[adamcran]

All will change for Scotland this time around I have every faith for my national team come on Scotland 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️

Fun fact - Joe Jordan has scored for Scotland in three world cup finals, against Zaire in 1974, Peru in 1978 and USSR in 1982. They should have qualified from their first round groups at least twice, 1978 and 1990. The Willie Johnstone affair in 1978 (failed a drugs test) and 1990 losing to Costa Rica (seriously, HOW??), but they've also has some horrible bits of luck. Remember Alan Hansen and Willie Miller colliding against Russia in 1982? Gary Mcallisters penalty in 1996? (I was right next to the Scotland fans that day) Best of luck Scotland!

Nice one Garry, getting big now since you left Sheff Weds 😉

The thing is, the results Scotland achieved in 74, 78, 82, 90 and 96 have been sufficient for other teams to progress in the past. Two examples are Northern Ireland and North Korea. Northern Ireland got out of the group having lost two out of three games in 2016, North Korea did it in 1966 with a win, a draw and a loss. The results elsewhere have simply never fell in Scotland’s favour

[ConnorDoesRugby]

Monday will be the first time in my life Scotland have played in a major tournament. I missed the ‘98 World Cup by a couple of months lol

[williamwcalder]

mate you have done more to promote an support scottish football than the damned SFA, this has fast become my favourite youtube channel, need get a footy adventures footie top made up so we can support you buddy, keep up the great work

[bobsteele]

Realistically Sam, the only tournament we were really unlucky in was 1974 imo. In the others we either bottled it (1978 springs immediately to mind, when we were genuinely good enough to reach the later stages, but were far too complacent against Peru and Iran) or simply weren't good enough.
