I enjoyed reading this.

I especially liked the humour. The "Scotland's going to win the World Cup" bits had me rolling on the floor. πŸ˜€

PS You might have heard of a side from Down Under? Socceroos. πŸ˜‰

I mean, if Scotland win the World Cup, we'll all know that ANYTHING is possible!

The New York Nicks have a great story too!

Yes! And proof that believing may take time but you gotta keep doing it.

Such a great read, belief is definitely one of those things that can help you defy the odds no matter what situation you're in and so many people through the centuries have personified thatπŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ

I loved everything about this well before I got to the surprise namecheck - thank you :D

But what I love most is Coach Betty - she changed her team's life.

I am grateful she gave that to you.

I'm inspired to pass it on.

And I'm thankful for her and those like her who made sport better for girls and women.

You know I never had that for football, but I played a lot of hockey and I saw the difference that a good, positive coach made (especially as I had a more negative one to compare her too). But she was no Betty!

I too believe that you can achieve anything with belief and hard work.

If anyone can embody that, it's a Scotland national team. But I'm not ready to live in a world where Scotland are World Champions lol

Do you know how much the Scottish hate the English? Nah thanks :)

To be fair, England men are still wanging on about a win 60 years ago, so I wouldn't blame Scotland for that.

They would be unbearable winners though πŸ˜‚

They have already drank all the beer in Bostonβ€”and it’s only been one game!
