Proof that Football is a cruel game...
A Scotland side that deserved to be in the Euro 2008 finals after a titanic campaign, loses 2 - 1 to Italy after a dramatic last-minute winner for the Italians.
Meanwhile an England national team who should hang their collective heads in shame for some mediocre performances, have their prayers answered by a Israeli team beating Russia 2 - 1, Israel scoring the dramatic last minute winning goal!
Thanks to Israel, England are now two points ahead of Russia in their qualifying group and need only a draw against Croatia next Wednesday to book their passage to next year's finals.
Unlucky Scotland. I think they deserved to be in the finals a lot more than England did (who can forget that fantastic 1-0 win over France) - but ultimately its the results that count.
Meanwhile the last chance saloon is now open for England boss Steve McClaren and his players...
