Week 2: Scotland - Turkey U26 0:4
Week 3: Scotland - Greece U26 3:1

I played two metches Scotland NT U26. We win today with Hellas 3:1 and loses with Turkey 0:4. Unfortunately we do not have any young midfielders (only 2-3 good midfielders with interval 23-26 years). In next week start WC and I hope great emotion:)

Week 4:World Cup - Group B Scotland - Österreich 1:1

WC started:) We draw with Österreich 1:1. Result is good but unhappy A. MacIlrevie was injured for 28 days:/ In next week match with Norge.

28 days!!!! Ooooocha.

A good start though to the WC campaign.

Shame you couldn't take advantage of the early red card, but on the other hand it was not a vital position.

Week 5:World Cup - Group B Scotland - Norge 2:1

Yeah!!! :) I'm very happy today:)

I think best result ever was 1/8 finals, there's your minimal goal :P No pressure attached ^^
I wished I'd also slammed another goal in, so I'd already be qualified :(

:) Andy Quirie today amazing game but I do not have guns in attack:/ Allan MacIlrevie, Stevie MacPherson are injured, only one clasic winger i Scotland NT Charles MacKimmie is in tragical form:> I can only play defensive footbol, i can do it because I play in my club but I'd rather play offensively :) In next week I play with Canada with very good coach (today he won with Austria in good style) I need a lot of luck to leave the group :)

I understand what you mean. My best striker is out for 20 days and Latvija does not even have a winger at NT level. Some 'nice' players but not for WC level ... it's always adapting tactics to these restrictions. Scotland probably is no different.

Congratulations Krikos! Seems like the small countries are going for it. Some major names out already!

Thanks:) You do fantastic job with Latvija! Congratulation:)

Week 6:World Cup - Group B Scotland - Canada 3:2

1. Scotland 7
2. Norge 4
3. Canada 3
4. Österreich 1

First place in World Cup - Group B and promotion to next round:) Yeah:P

Congratulations Krikos!!! Yuo are one of the best managers ;)

Well done Krikos !

Very kind words:) Scotland is brave heart :)

Congratulations! I already said in my interview you would do well ;-)

Thanks:)

In next round we play with Česká republika, very difficult rival.

Another great win! 119th minute winner!

I thought we were destined to lose when we missed that pen in the 86th minute. What a sitter they missed in the 117th minute!
