Scotland qualifying would be great for Scottish football.

Purely from a money point of view, the SFA would look to make around £15-£20m over the course.

This means more investment for grassroots football which gives us a better chance of producing young talent.

Even if you don't support Scotland that's a great reason to want them to qualify. Especially if you have kids involved in juvenile football.

If Scotland ever wants to produce skillful, technical footballers again then it should happen naturally via a shift in societal culture IMO.

Our greats of the past were produced by kicking about wee tiny balls in the streets, not by some SFA trainer putting down cones on an all weather surface.

Ploughing money into this sort of thing would be a waste IMO.  People simply do not need millions of pounds to play football.

Nothing to with coaches or the likes really, it's more to do with facilities.

It worked for Iceland, some great facilities in their country, puts us to shame.

When Scotland had good players kids could play in the streets because it was safer to do so.

I do get the kids using devices and not going out so often argument.

If I won the Euromillions I'd look into putting Cruyff courts everywhere, free to use.
