In 1950, Scotland had the chance to appear at their very first World Cup after qualifying in The British Home Championships. The squad was strong, the bookies rated their chances, and Brazil awaited.

But instead of going on tour in South America, Scotland opted to stay at home instead.

From a showdown with England at Hampden Park to Brazil throwing money at them to show up, it’s a story that still leaves me asking the question: "Could Scotland have won the 1950 World Cup?" ... meh Probably not, but here's a video about it anyway.
