After the global bloodbath of World War I, the leading nations of the world decided that the best way to avert another world war was to form an alliance of nations that would serve as an overseeing entity that would safeguard against another epic war. The League was comprised of 42 nations, the most powerful of which were Great Britain and France. Germany and Russia were not allowed membership, based on their aggressions during World War I, and the United States chose to not be included in the League due to its change to an isolationist state. The league was based in neutral Switzerland, and served for 27 years as a prequel to the United Nations. The League had no military might of its own and had to rely on its member nations to provide physical force if necessary. It could encourage disagreeing nations to engage in discussions in an attempt to resolve their conflicts peacefully. It could impose economic sanctions against uncooperative nations, in order to force these nations to negotiate with their counterparts in order to avoid financial ruin.

Against both Slovakia and the Czech Republic, Scotland scored with their only chance of the game and they had none at all on the mark in the play-off semi-final against Israel. Oddly, the frequency of attempts on target rose notably in the three fixtures just played on the road, with four apiece against Serbia and Israel and five against Slovakia, but the yield dropped to only a single goal by Ryan Christie in the draw in Belgrade.
