Would you want to go to Sweatland if you come from Brazil ?

This a great game for us - Scotland the creators of modern football.... Brazil the heirs of our football legacy to the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_Professors The origin of the name was based upon the distinctive Scottish style of play – described at the time as being “combination football” [1] – which was centred upon a passing game with greater teamwork as opposed to the individualistic, dribbling style common in England at the time. It was this distinctive style of football – which has been described as "changing the nature of soccer" – which had become the hallmark of the Scottish game of the era.[2][3] The ability of the Scottish players, their apparently superior technique,[4] and the nature of their play impressed English spectators during the Scotland – England international fixtures which had been taking place since 1872 and led to a great number of Scots players moving south to play professionally for English clubs once this became legal in 1885. The “Scotch Professors” were known also for spreading the game – both football generally and “combination” team passing style of play for which they were known – internationally with prominent Scots players of the time playing major roles in the introduction of football across the British Empire, Europe, China and to Latin America (particularly Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay) Apparently some fucker from Petersborough no one has heard of has been called in to the squad ? LOL

He's a good player, if he's not playing in the Premier League next season I would be very surprised. Does'nt sound very Scottish when interviewed though.

He's got some goal tally this season. Bit of a bolt from the blue coming into the squad, Scottish grandmother apparently. Good luck to him.

He scores his share of goals, but also his work rate is first class. Leicester have been in for him and I would have been very pleased if he had signed. Think he wants to run his contract down and cash in for himself.
