  1. I remember watching the Scotland v Bulgaria game live. The tournament was set up to favour Japan as the first game was Japan v Bulgaria, then Scotland played Bulgaria 2 days later, then Japan played Scotland 2 days after that. Japan had 4 days rest between their fixtures while Scotland and Bulgaria had 2 days rest between each of their fixtures. Bulgaria had beaten Japan with an injury time winner 2 days before they played Scotland and they were clearly still knackered when they had to play Scotland. Scotland ran rings around them all over the park. It was nice to see Scotland totally outclass another national team but the fairly obvious reason for it was Bulgaria's tiredness rather than Scotland's superior quality of player from what I remember. Scotland's game against Japan 2 days later was a backs-to-the-wall defensive performance to grind out a 0-0 draw and win the cup. Scotland's lack of energy compared to Japan was also obvious but they did what was required, if I remember correctly. A quick check on Wikipedia and the links to the match reports from each game confirms Bulgaria only made 3 changes to their starting line up for the game against Scotland. Scotland then only made 1 change before facing Japan, curiously, but maybe the 5-1 cakewalk took less out of them than Bulgaria's hard fought injury time victory over Japan took out of their players.
