Well this is just sad. Scotland played Wales in a Nations Cup match on Wednesday at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin and it looks like about 18 people showed up. Scotland won 3-1, but when you have so few people in a 51,700-seat stadium, it's kind of amazing they even bothered to finish the match.
Was this match supposed to be a surprise? Did they go with the Eric Cartman "you can't come" marketing technique? I know a midweek game between Wales and Scotland as part of a relatively new tournament isn't the biggest draw in the world, but come on -- you'd think they would be able to fill at least one full section of seats.
Here's the most depressing picture of a goal celebration you'll see today...
Wales' Robert Earnshaw goes to the trouble of doing his trademark acrobatics for a ball boy and a guy who isn't even watching as he claps. Wales then gave up three goals in the second half to lose the game.
