Why? We both finished 3rd in our respective groups and we have been far more consistent than Scotland over the past 20 years and probably have a more talented squad.

One swallow does not a summer make.

Over the last 3 campaigns they have been better than us. They to to a playoff for Euro 2004 they beat Norway, Slovenia, France away over this time too.
