2026 World Cup

[Foxdiamond]

Always reminded of the Denis Law story when England won in 1966. Rather than watch his Man U teammates Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles he played golf and was gutted when told the final result. I think we can relate to a situation where you rather a distant team win rather than your noisy neighbour.  Gets a bit out of hand if hatred rears up but OK if kept within reason. 

[Spudulike]

Had to turn off the Wales match as the commentators (especially co-coms) are beyond awful.

 

C'mon Denmark. Want to see Kasper at the WC.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

That Dorgu's final ball is absolutely stinking 

[RowlattsFox]

A great early goals makes it look like Scotland have been good, but they've barely been in it since. 

Can't let a centre back partnership of Hanley and McKenna get to the world cup. 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Must admit this is a very good low block tactic by Scotland. Denmark will have to go with 3 at the back and go into a diamond in the 2nd half on a 3-4-3. 

[filbertway]

Can't see past a Denmark win. Clarkes basically pointing a big arrow at their goal with his 6 4 0 formation

 

 

[CWC1983]

Denmark are a decent side, no way they won't score in 2nd half and we've lost our attacking outlet for this game and probably the play offs in Gannon Doak

[Super_horns]

Why was there 17 minutes of injury time in this game ?

Must be one of the latest winners ever !

Denmark have nearly 80% possession and they created absolutely nothing. I don't see a problem in this centre back partnership so far in this game. 

[EastAnglianFox]

A loss here and Clarke must go either way 

 

We have a squad to put England to bed and yet he continues with these awful negative tactics

They scored and had 2 or 3 very good chances. That decision to disallow the goal was soft.

 

Theyre got about 6 at the back as well, more of a rabble of men than a partnership

You must be kidding. Denmark amd Greece are better teams than Scotland. Clarke has his tactics spot on. Idk what exactly you expect. Do you really believe this Scotland team can dominate against teams like Denmark?

Don't worry, finding a way to fail no matter what is the Steve Clarke way

They had 3 half chances and one of them was an offside not given. 0 shots on target. 

I agree with you regarding the disallowed goal but this the joke the sport has become now under these stupid rules.

England under 21s?

 

Scotland have some good players but generally the depth isn’t great and defenders are poor .

I'm going 2-1 Denmark and Clarke ends up playing Grant Hanley up front for the last 5.

Scotland is massively overachieving in this group and their fans are still complaining! Even Robertson and a couple other players admitted after the game vs Greece that the team has actually been overachieving. 

 

[RowlattsFox]

On the line is penalty? Not sure how he didn't give a foul.

England fans have been non stop complaining over the last 5 or 6 years when over achieving.

 

Bet you were still Southgate out though ah??

 

After a boring international break this far, finally we can have some fun 

[The Doctor]

Now thats the scotland I know, just hammering the self-destruct button. No threat, no need to make that tackle at all.

[whoareyaaa]

player was outside robertson was on the line 

[RowlattsFox]

Slightly fortunate but it's definitely a foul. Good penalty. 

[Vacamion]

 

If Robertson's foot is on the line, I'm not sure that means contact was in the area.

 

But it is what it is.

As I see it, Scottish guy's feet was on the line, but the fouled Danish player's feet were outside. When he starts to go down, the Dane is outside.

 

I guess it must be the fouler rather than the fouled that counts
