It was a total waste of money to my mind but I got to go to the Olympics (and saw Neymar score a goal for Brazil...)

Hampden - the closest Scotland has got so far to hosting an International football tournament. 

And.. err.. this

Where is this picture from, 2nd time  I've seen it in the last couple of days. It's quite disturbing as well

I think it was taken in Greece, wee refugee boy who drowned in a crossing a couple of years ago.  Kurdish, I think.  Heartbreaking.  I remember when it happened, he was about the same age as one of my nephews.

In 1989 Scotland hosted the U16 World Cup, and made it all the way to the final where they lost to Saudi Arabia at a sold out Hampden. 

The only ones in the crowd, which included me, that believed the ages on the passports of the Saudi time were the FIFA reps with brown envelopes in their pockets,

Would say that more of hosting a tournament as all games were played in Scotland to amazing crowds.

1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship - Wikipedia

Few well known names were i the team in the final lost on penalties,

I was answering and correcting the previous post I quoted that stated,

The odd Olympic games was not the closest Scotland has come to hosting an International football tournament.

 

That my only point.
