Scotland - likely to qualify?
Scotland, have a good chance of qualifying for the finals of World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
Having earned a seed 2 position they were in a much better position to obtain a qualification place
than they were for Euro 2008, where they were drawn against Italy and France - both World Cup 2006
finalists. |

The draw has pleased many Scotland fans. Avoiding teams like Italy, France and the Czechs will give
the Scotland team a significantly increased chance of qualifying.

The Opposition:
Holland
Being first seeds, Holland will be expected to win the group. Consequently, they are the
team which will give Scotland most concern. Holland travel info
Norway
Against Norway, Scotland should at least win at home. However, the last time the two teams met in competition
(World Cup 2006 qualification) both teams won away from home. Norway travel info
Macedonia
Potentially a pushover. Despite this, they could steal a few point from Scotland as they have done against England. Macedonia travel info
Iceland
Again, Scotland are expected to win both games. As with Macedonia, complacency must be avoided. Iceland travel info
