What makes it funnier, is that Wales hadn’t played in a tournament for 58 years and never a Euros, but got to the semis first time of asking in 2016 and the Last 16 in 2020 while Northern Ireland hadn’t in 30 years and also never a Euros and got to the last 16 at the 2016 tournament (beaten by Wales), Scotland have done back to back Euros and come away with a record of 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats scoring only 3 goals

Until the last World Cup, Wales had never not qualified for the knockout rounds of a tournament they'd managed to qualify for. Until 2020 they'd only ever been beaten by the eventual winners of that tournament, too.

In short Wales should be given yr Hen Ogledd back as reparations for the occupier being crap at football.

WTF? So that Archie Gemmill goal that the Scots have dining out on forever, didn't even get them out the group?

Every day a school day.

The most famous moment of Gemmill's career when he scored a goal against the Netherlands in a Group D fixture at the 1978 World Cup, which is regularly rated as amongst the greatest goals ever scored in a World Cup match.[7][8] Scotland needed to win the game by three goals to qualify for the next stage of the tournament, having had very poor results in their first two games. With his team leading 2–1 in the 68th minute, Gemmill scored a goal which was described by The Scotsman as follows:

In 68 minutes, however, Scotland went 3–1 up when Archie Gemmill scored one of the great goals of this World Cup so far. The little midfield player homed in on goal, played a magnificent one-two with Dalglish, then sprinted into the box and thumped a glorious goal past Jongbloed to revive all the hopes which had died the death this past fortnight. It was an extraordinary goal and an extraordinary moment. Suddenly Scotland were dreaming of glory again".[9]

Three minutes later, Johnny Rep scored a second goal for the Netherlands, which was deflected off Gemmill's outstretched leg and flew past Alan Rough's dive. The game ended 3–2, denying Scotland a spot in the second round.
