smallest country ever to qualify) a few funny things happened in
relation to Scotland, where everybody in Scotland ended up rooting
enthusiastically for Trinidad.
The way it worked was, Scotland didn't make it into to the World Cup,
but there was a player on the Trinidad team named "Jason Scotland"
who actually played professionally in Scotland (for Dundee) and the
leading Scottish beer company ran an add campaign featuring him and
the slogan "Scotland's going to the World Cup". That plus one of
Trinidad's first round games was against England, so it was sort of
like rooting for whoever's playing the Yankees.
There was also a song about it:
