Against All Odds Scotland is going to the World Cup

I was listening to my favorite radio sports show "off the ball" this morning (see link at left as today's show was particularly funny). There is a big debate brewing in the UK over who Scotland should support in the World Cup as most Scots do not want to support the "Auld Enemy" aka England. Heavens to Betsy it seems this years world cup even has Rangers and Celtic fans agreeing on who to back as many of them appear to be backing Sweden as both Gers and Celtic Clubs employ players from Sweden. Many Scots are joining in supporting Trinidad and Tobago, during this years world cup as a quarter of the Trinidad and Tobago squad play for Scottish club teams, including Jason Scotland who scored the second goal in the 3-2 win over Austrian club champions Vienna on Tuesday in Graz.

Jason is now the new face of Irn-Bru and BBC Scotland Channel 4 has done a series of advertisements to be aired on television with the theme: Against All Odds Scotland is going to the World Cup!

The visual shows an empty bus coming to a stop and a lone passenger boarding. He is Jason Scotland, the Soca Warrior striker, and he is wearing a red Soca Warrior T-shirt, the back of which reads: Scotland.

The advertisement is accompanied by a song Tartan Army and T&T.

Hilarious!!

I am putting my money on Scotland in this years World Cup!
