“We wuz robbed”
The dream died in the cruellest fashion at Hampden Park as Scotland’s bid to reach Euro 2008 failed as a stoppage-time header stole a 2-1 victory for Italy, despite having been played off the park by a defiant Scotland (well, sort of, but we did do really well).
However, it was an incomprehensible free kick that should never have been (or at least should have been awarded to Scotland) that led to the goal, making it all the more difficult for the passionate Hampden crowd.
Scotland against the world champions. So close, again. Well, the world cup qualifiers are coming soon, so for fans of the ‘beautiful game’ the kilts won’t be hanging on their hooks for long before we’re marching onwards again.
