I'm not superstitious in the slightest. I just want both fans and players alike to be concentrating on the semi final for now rather than speculating about something that may or may not come about, only to risk disappointment.

Good. The prospect of a small middle-eastern country replacing a South American footballing powerhouse would have made a laughing stock of the competition.
Err...
It's pretty depressing that this isn't even remotely surprising anymore.
I'm pretty sure that there was a time when players had to be genuinely injured or have a good reason to pull out of an international squad instead of picking and choosing when they played.
The SFA should have clamped down back when Fergushun and his blue-nose team mates were constantly at it. Sadly now it seems to be the norm that all the players think they can get away with it and treat international call-ups as an irritating side project which they can pick up or put down as they please.
