... I'm not sure I should have put this on Nostalgia Talk
bcos it's like watching The Big Match Revisited. The team play of the Swiss and the Czechs compared to our celtic cousins was on another level - the Scots and Welsh could harry and get the ball in quick and hope a ricochet landed kindly so got the odd shot or two, but their set up and approach looks about thirty years out of date, esp the Scots, who have half a dozen decent players but some straight out of Motherwell's reserves (Lyndon Dykes??? hello!)

1-0 to Wales I reckon.
