You would think so, which would probably mean we wouldn't qualify. 32 teams and we would get in no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Scotland have played 762, won 361, lost 233. Right, these must be the most meaningless stats, but there are 15 teams that have won more than 361, and 31 that have lost more than 233: Brazil have won 607, England(+OlympicGB, sorry) 595, (West+)Germany 548, Argentina 535, S.Korea 507, Sweden 500, Mexico 452, Hungary 434, Italy 420, Uruguay 399, France 399, Spain 397, Netherlands 394, Egypt 380, Czech(oslovakia/Bohemia) 377, Denmark 365. Finland have lost 396, Switzerland 342, Norway 337, Singapore 335, Thailand 326, Mayaysia 325, Chile 307, Luxembourg 306, Wales 302, Sweden 298, Uruguay 296, Indonesia(Dutch E.Indes) 292, Austria 285, Hungary 285, Belgium 279, Denmark 275, Paraguay 271, Malta 264, Peru 263, El Salvador 260, Trinidad+Tobago 260, Poland 260, Bulgaria 259, N.Ireland 252, France 252, (Republic+)Ireland 251, Kenya 249, USA 246, Bolivia 237, Serbia(+Montenegro/Jugoslavia) 237, Jamaica 234.

McTeeko Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 A load of utter shite. Anyone who supports this abomination of an idea is a perennial loser and happy to play second best.

I guess it's because Denmark have played 801 games. Only England (1025), Sweden, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, S.Korea, Hungary, Uruguay, Mexico, Thailand, France, Malaysia, Poland & Norway have played more.

Pah! Only the 4th highest win percentage (58%) after Brazil (63%), Spain & Germany. Scotland are about 28th at 47%. Sandwiched between Uzbekistan / Iraq and Hungary. There are only 18 nations on the list that are above 50% and they include Tahiti, Northern Cyprus, and New Caledonia.

England were playing others from 1907 quite regularly. I think we missed the boat to hand out a few early thumpings to the likes of Germany, Holland and France http://www.eloratings.net/England.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent % of our away support however treat competitive away games as purely a jolly and the football is secondary. Usually the folk who'd idea of body hygiene is changing their top every 3rd day. I'm sure you know the sort I mean. It only get's worse for friendlies. Nothing wrong with going to support the team, I've done my fair share of daft friendlies abroad but forgive me for suggesting this kind of trip would be a waste of time. Would make the team last week seem experienced given the number of call offs we'd get. Edited November 21, 2017 by Squirrelhumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
