The Short Straw

Scotland have drawn Holland in the play-offs for Euro 2004 - possibly the worst draw we could have expected. Ah well, a good excuse to visit Amsterdam...

Holland aren’t as strong a force as they once were, so I wouldn’t lose hope yet. Do you know whether the game’s on telly over here?

Holland have had a rough time since missing out on the World Cup, but they’re still a class act. On paper it looks like a foregone conclusion - Van Nistelrooy, Kluivert, Van Hoojdonk, Hasselbaink, Overmars, Stam, De Boer, Davids - up against our (mostly) youngsters. I really hope we can get a result, but I’d much rather have drawn Wales or Latvia!

Not sure if it’s on the telly down here - if at all, it might be on Sky...

You know, when you put it like that...
