With the record of our opponents in our group, I think super Eagle have an advantage but we need good preparation like playing friendly with team like Italy and Chile if possible Netherlands not a bad deal

No 65 is wrong.

Scotland have qualified for the World Cup I think on 9 occasions. I’m sure they participated in the 1982 World Cup. They just haven’t managed to progress to the second round or come out of their group.

The fact is not wrong. The fact is specifically about the 2018 World Cup; Scotland have not qualified!

What is so special about Scotland to get a mention in Russia 2018 World Cup facts. It would’ve made sense if it was Italy but Scotland.

Op should delete that. There’s nothing so special about Scotland to have included them there. When was the last time they qualified for the World Cup?

OP, did you mean that Scotland had never qualified for the World Cup?

If that was what you meant, then, you are wrong. Scotland was in Group A in France 98.

28. Uruguay's Oscar Washington Tabárez will be at his fourth World Cup; more than any other coach at Russia 2018 (he has six wins, three draws and six defeats in the competition).




Walter Winterbottom led England to four consecutive World Cup finals(1950,1954,1958 and 1962), a record subsequently equalled only by Helmut Schön of West Germany(1966,1970,1970 and 1974)

The fact that Italy did not qualify is there already.

Fact number 84 is absolutely wrong! Nigeria won Bulgaria 3-0 in USA 94 world cup, that infamous Rashidi yekini goal and him dragging the net undecided or am I missing something cool

#101. Nigeria are the only African team to have won a World Cup group. The Super Eagles achieved this feat in both 1994 and 1998.

#102. Nigeria has advanced to the World Cup knockout stages more times than any other African team. The Super Eagles advanced to the round of 16 in 1994, 1998, and 2014.

You're definitely missing something; The fact is correct as Nigeria have won only one of their last 12 matches.

Yekini's goal should be described as famous.

Then the post should have been specific, because most people will assume Scotland have never been to the world cup.

Moreover Scotland is not the only country that will miss the mundial, so why are they mentioned as a fact?
