The people complaining about Scottish people supporting Argentina are ignorant of the connections that both nations share. Alexander Hutton, a Glaswegian, established the Argentine FA.
Both Rosario Central and Independiente have previously released strips featuring the saltire.
🇳🇴🏴Norway vs England tonight. English fans will spend 90 minutes shouting in a language full of our words.
The Angles who gave England its name sailed from the Jutland peninsula, right next door to us. Four centuries later, Norse settlers crossed the same sea and took the north and east of England.
The evidence never left. They, them and their are Old Norse words. So are sky, egg, knife and anger. Window comes from vindauga, wind-eye.
And more than 600 English place names end in -by. Grimsby. Derby. Whitby. By is still the Norwegian word for town.
Esto es espectacular. En el último partido de Noruega, se hizo viral un pelado que estaba entre la multitud y se negó a hacer el "Remo" con sus compatriotas.
El canal de TV Sky News lo encontró y le preguntó por qué no lo hacía:
"Es muy sencillo. Los vikingos no remaban en el Atlántico, sino que navegaban. Es una celebración históricamente imprecisa. Estoy muy contento que mi mensaje haya tenido eco para corregir ese error. Seguiré apoyando a Noruega pero nunca voy a remar, ni siquiera si somos Campeones".
Lo mejor es que el pelado tiene sus remos colgados atrás, en su habitación. El experto en remos. El alma la fiesta. Un crack.
Virtually all the commentators on the American and Canadian coverage of the World Cup act as if they're at an EPL game. Every few minutes an overemphasis on a player at an English club. Imbalanced and irksome, feels like marketing for the most overhyped league. Mind-numbing.
Neil Lennon on BBC Sportsound speaking on the prospect of succeeding Steve Clarke as Scotland manager:
“I’m not Scottish! I think a footballing nation like Scotland, ideally you’d want a Scottish manager there, wouldn’t you?
“I’m sort of half-Scottish.”
@offtheballbbc Can't think of one candidate better than Steven Clarke. Need a revamp from grass roots upward. Big clear out at SFA needed. Total change in approach -coaching, investment, facilities and accessibility.
