Tbh that was a pretty woeful side that struggled badly to Wales ; both games

iceland away was shocking/lucky

spain away not at the races

australia heavy weather v rank team

True - however rolled over Iceland at Hampden and basically played Spain (Yes Spain) off the park, I have mentioned on another thread that our performance that night would probably have taken care of most teams in the world (WCQF Scotland v Spain Nov'1984)

iceland at the time were very poor indeed ; not a hope of making any tournament

spain at home , was a good perfomance (was my first game at hampden incidentally) but it has to be remembered

a/ again the Spain of back then were light years away from the modern version - yes they did get to the finals of the euros in 84 (which was taken that seriously in any case compared to what is happening now / sometimes quality there eclipses world cup)

b/ Spain were notorious bad in away games/didnt travel well - it was a different perfomance in the home game - Wales beat them 3-0 in Wrexham i recall with a famous mark hughes scissor kick ;but yet demolished them at home too
