Got to say that I am going to be a pessimist and say that I cannot see this taking place. There is not enough time in the football calendar for this one to take place. Would be great though.

Real were saying that they have a busy pre-season and would prefer to play closer to Xmas. There is a date pencilled in for November at Hampden (I think Italy has been talked about). So - who knows?

Am I the only one who thinks playing club sides, regardless of who they are, is a big no no. 1 - it would not count as a full international so there would be plenty of call offs. 2 - We're 50-odd ranked in the world, games like this won't count towards us climbing back up the ladder. 3 - We'll be gubbed.
Personally I would rather see us play a proper Inernational. Perhaps the SFA might consider playing a Scottish League XI instead and get Larrsson, Amoruso etc to play, it would make it much more interesting and more of a match.

Whatever the outcome of this, the idea that Scotland has successfully hosted an event of this magnitude is simply great news. That Real are even talking in this way is brilliant although I personally don't see it happening. But with Senor Angel Maria Villar Llona on the UEFA committee any noises like this are very positive for 2008. Awkward thread for this forum, but I wonder if McC is having second thoughts after Wednesday??

That's a pretty good idea. As for not being a proper international, they have all-star games all the time, why not us be involved (in a round-about kind of way).
TA in Madrid watching the world's best (AND Real) would be sweet!

Bad news. Read in the Evening Times that the S.F.A have already ruled this out.

Why the f#ck would the sfa rule it out, it is a real money spinner and would be a lot better than playing many european sides including england, but i suppose we should expect the sfa to forget good ideas, if my club side was run like the sfa i would have chucked it years ago

Well, coz it's a novel idea. It might take planning. It's a bit adventurous and out of the norm. Geez, it might even be dangerous. Nah, leave things like that to the professionals.

How about inviting Real up to the 5-a-side tourney at Callandar, don't reckon they'd be much cop wae their kilts on and a few swallays, a reckon we could take' em.

Scotland got tanned in America in 1949 by the now-defunct Belfast Celtic and vowed never to play another club side.
Surely we could still rustle up some sort of select side (Ayrshire Juniors XI?) to take them on?

BERTI VOGTS last night welcomed European Cup winners Real Madrid's offer of a challenge match with Scotland and told them: Let's get it on!
The Spanish giants handed out the amazing invitation in the wake of their stunning Hampden triumph over Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.
Speaking in Hong Kong last night the Scotland boss claimed he'd love to have a crack at Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, Raul and co - and even suggested making it a double header!
The offer came from Real general manager Jorge Valdano by way of a thanks to the Scottish people for the night of their lives.
And Vogts said: "I'm delighted the Champions League Final went well in Glasgow and Real Madrid were so happy with our hospitality. This is the first I've heard about the offer but it sounds a great chance.
"In an ideal world I would love our U-21s to play a side like that to give them such great experience.
"But in reality the perfect time would be to play them in the week leading up to our first European Championship qualifier against the Faroe Islands.
"That's a free week and it would be a dream preparation for us. I would love to play Madrid home and away - maybe we could have the return game in the week of the second Faroes match if Real are up for it."
Meanwhile, Vogts has his eye on even more glamour and is still desperately working to land a double header in Brazil next February - but his moves could be scuppered by the English FA.
The Scotland boss is determined to keep up his strategy of taking on some of the toughest teams in the world.
And while he would expect the SPL to hold back fixtures to allow him to play more than one team on the trip to Rio, he reckons he has no chance of his Anglos being allowed to stay out.
Berti confessed: "The problem with the Brazil plan is that I wanted to play two games over there.
"The Wednesday is an international date but to play another one I would need to make an arrangement with the clubs in Scotland to keep the players out there.
"The English players would have to come home though, because they will definitely play on the Saturday and that's a problem. I'm looking for a way round it."
One possible escape route is yet another glamour match but a bit closer to home. Vogts said: "We also have an offer to play Portugal over there in February and that would be a tough game against a strong team."
Berti insists he has no fears that taking on some of the world's greats could end up demoralising his kids.
Despite a 5-0 lesson against France he said: "Players know they must learn from games like those. If we play the likes of Liechtenstein what do we learn?
"I don't believe the young players' heads go down. Even after an hour against Korea they weren't down - I felt worse than the players did."

We should do it during the world cup - it would be 11 Scots against McManaman.
We'd still struggle to win!
