The Germany Game
We're on the march with Berti's army.
I always knew Berti was the man for Scotland and after today's game we are a sure bet to go all the way in Euro 2004.
Reality check. There has been a disturbance in the matrix.
Don't worry. There have been too many false dawns in Scottish football history for me to start doing any chicken calculus. It was a great performance today but it was only one game, and Berti still has a lot to prove. But I enjoyed it nonetheless...
First off, in the spirit that is needed to rejuvenate Scottish football, I would like to congratulate Maurice Ross of Rangers on his best performance yet for Scotland. Paul Lambert, Colin Cameron and Kenny Miller were also all excellent and having doubted Christian Daiily's ability to deal with Michael Ballack, I am pleased to say he proved me wrong.
But let's not get carried away. A few sobering thoughts:
- Today we were the underdogs and that is always when Scotland are at their best.
- We need to consistently produce this form against the lesser sides which have so often tripped us up. And our next game is against the Faroe Islands.
- Berti was playing against his home team and had a lot to prove today. But he has proved nothing yet.
- This could be the tournament in which we go all the way. Ole, ole-ole-ole...
And thanks also to Mr B. Bean, a waiter in a hotel just outside Glasgow, who served our German visitors with a traditional Scottish breakfast before today's game.
