Chris Iwelumo's miss of the century is sure to be a favourite on YouTube but Scotland weren't laughing as they stumbled to a 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw against Norway. When Gary Naysmith centred in the 64th minute, Iwelumo had the goal at his mercy but the debutant somehow struck the ball past the post from one metre out. Scotland now have a fight to qualify with only four points on the board. In other action, England thumped Kazakhstan 5-1 at home, while there was humiliation for Austria following a 1-0 defeat in the Faroe Islands.
