Duncan Ferguson has a message for anyone nitpicking Scotland’s World Cup performances so far: get over it.
The former Everton striker and Scotland international has come out swinging in defense of the national team ahead of their Group C showdown with Brazil, scheduled for June 24-25 in Miami. His argument is simple. If Scotland reaches the knockout stage, nobody will remember how they looked getting there.
Scotland’s historic opportunity
Here’s the thing about Scotland and the World Cup: the two have never gotten along particularly well. The nation has never, in its entire footballing history, advanced beyond the group stage of a World Cup.
That drought could end in Miami. Scotland currently sits third in Group C, having picked up wins against Haiti and Morocco.
