Belarus are mince (imo). I'm glad I finally got a chance to see that. Just goes to show how bad everyone else in the group is too.  |
Fair enough Mickey but I still don't think they are bollocks. I would like to think it was more a case of our tactics giving them a great deal of problems and them looking bad due to this. Just as we didn't look very clever against a Moldova side who sat in and defended on Saturday then Belarus didn't look too clever against a defensive Scotland side. There is not many sides who look good against teams who play with a defensive game plan.
I don't think the teams in our group are that bad, I just don't think that there is one team who is miles better than the rest, and I include Italy in that. But again I would say this is the case for a lot of the European groups nowadays, there is not many stand out sides - hence Greece being European Champions. I do think there has been pretty much a levelling of the abilities across Europe.
Anyway its in the past now, still a point gained IMO and while a win would have been good I still think a draw will have gave the team confidence.
