With a small and less than stellar domestic league and a population of 5 million Scotland is never, ever going to achieve much on the pitch but at least we don't resort to trying to turn of pack Balkan Muppet's into a footballing Colossus to justify our many failings!

Balkan Muppets ? Croatia have pretty consistently been a top 10 side in the world since their independence, they came 3rd in the 1998 world cup for fucks sake and went out on penalties in the quarter finals of Euro 2008.
Croatia (9) were ranked 2 places above England (11) in the FIFA rankings when they won that game 3-2, Scotland (24) on the other hand were ranked 26 places above Norway (50) when they got stuffed 4-0 recently.
The Croats may be many thing but muppets at football is certainly not 1 of them.
