GO YOU GOOD THING
Nothing like an International Road to the World Cup match to revive National passions. Enjoyed your Road to Rio blog...as many Aussies have Scottish blood coursing through their veins...GO THE SCOTS. Pity a draw in your home leg...but here's to getting there.

Thanks for the comments. Watch out for a blog from their next World Cup qualifier - away to Wales in Cardiff in October. Even though I didn't bring them any luck with my appearance versus Serbia, my Scotland mates are taking me on another day out!
