Scottish. Scotch is a drink. And they did. Good song, too.

Congrats Japan and...comeoneengland.

Thanks, I know.

The whole comment was tongue-in-cheek. Hence the ; ) mark. : )

Back on topic please.

@zichi--Scotland fielded a team of girls? Next time bring full grown women and maybe win one.

Judging by the top picture, "holding" off Scotland is an accurate description.

It’s a footy thing. In the men’s game we often use ‘lads’ or ‘boys’.

I hope there will be no complaints about using ‘girls’ for women’s footy...

Whether it’s women or girls, men or boys, the Scots have been incapable of putting together a winning side for a very long time.

Fond memories of the Scots girls scraping a 1-1 draw with Norway in 1998.

Are they showing any of these or all the games on local TV or do we have to fight tooth and nail to find a station?

Some of the late-night matches involving Japansch ladies are shown again in the evening of the next day.
