To get back to Dutchy’s point though…
I’m not convinced beating Scotland 6-1 is going to make you Euro champions ? Look at the drubbing France gave us in Paris ahead of the 2002 World Cup and how much they under performed once the tournament started proper.
If anything, soundly beating our national team ahead of a major tourney seems to bring a touch of complacency to the big contenders ?
Nah…. only joking, a team with the diverse mix and range of skilled players available such as Holland does should be more than capable of winning a tournament like Euro 2004. It’s going to take some determination and a little less arrogance on your part though, otherwise you might expect a few more 1-0’s at Hampden Park, a bit like Germany discovered when the original qualifying draws were made and they decided they had won the group already. 😉
