Could it be they secretly have Sonny Black as trainer?
Heh. You know, for everything that was always said about Sonny's efficiency, there's one thing that can't be denied. A team made up entirely of Sonny Black's would probably kick a lot of ass. Hell, if you're going to take competition that seriously, then you're bound to win. Probably one of the main reasons I liked playing on the same team as him on L4D. Possibly the only game I have ever taken seriously in my life, to a rage inducing level. The reasons why are still not clear to me, even to this day.
The German squad have got it down to a fine art though. Their passing and understanding of each other is just frightening at times. They are clearly a group of men who practice relentlessly until their plays are perfect. I can't see any other side challenging them now tbh, and one thing about the Germans is they very rarely lose their cool, which isn't something I can say about any of the other sides still the competition...
Fucking awesome stuff though. If Scotland got to the World Cup Semi-Finals, the country would be going in to meltdown right now. Those crazy nights where you see a guy chew off another guys ear and spit it into traffic, and you don't even care. Doesn't even faze you. Doesn't even distract you from the guys ear you're chewing off.
If we got to the final, Scotland would just cease to be. It would be cordoned off like something out of 28 Weeks Later. An uninhabitable zone filled with insane Scotsmen with more alcohol in their veins than blood. Maybe that's why it doesn't happen. Maybe it's all a Government conspiracy.
Or maybe we're just shit.
