FIFA World Cup Qualifier: Europe, Group A, Hampden Park, 15/10/13
Well, beating a team ranked in the world’s top ten twice inside a few months without losing a goal isn’t too shabby.
Again I only saw the highlights but it looked from them as if we played the ball about quite well – at least once we had scored. Croatia also seemed to play better this time than last and had a decent team out.
Encouraging signs, then.
It’s a long time till the next qualifiers, though, and fourth place won’t help our seeding any. (More than sixth or fifth would have done, right enough.)
I see our southern cousins managed to make it without benefit of play-off. Well done.
