Be funny if Scotland win but then don't make it to the knockouts. The hope that kills you...

Yeah we want Cov levels of getting close only to lose out

[Foxdiamond]

Anyone remember the bias held by some in Scotland against Scotland players who were at English clubs.  It was quite a thing in the Scottish press at the time

Would be very Scotland. Shades of 1996

This ref is very Main Character, already.

[fox_favourite]

As interesting as this Scotland game is. I noticed most of the sponsorship going round the edge of the pitch are not for European companies. I've seen Qatar Airways, Hisense, BYD, Alipay etc...just found it interesting for a European competition 

[StanSP]

Keeper error for the Andrich goal there. 

 

Considering the fouls the ref has given the Germans, I'm surprised they haven't given that against Musiala. 

[RowlattsFox]

Nothing wrong with that tackle at all. I don't understand why I dislike John McGinn so much.

Wrong again. 5 are starters... Robertson, Christie, Mcginn, Gilmour, and Armstrong (I was generous giving you him). Mctominay is rotational at best and Tierney was being punted out on loan last year. 

 

So we've went from "most are PL player" to, 5 play regularly in the PL. 

[Mike1983]

Germany will score more goals, in fact, they're probably going to win the whole thing.

Indeed! Anyone who likes to watch good football and has no emotional connection to Scotland is not choosing that match.

[StanSP]

Is Adams the best striker Scotland have? He nevee seems to be involved in the play or in the right positions as the lone striker if a move progresses into the box.

Great tune. I wish England had as good even if we couldn't have the pipes 

We do.  We have at least 3 to choose from. Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory and I Vow to Thee are 3 of the greatest pieces of music every created.  You might even argue we have 4 if we decided to use Nimrod as an orchestral style anthem (a la Japan).

 

But sadly we have to use the British anthem.  

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Scotland/Hungary game is just so dull atm.

[David Hankey]

Commentator says "that's an early card". Bollocks, if a foul is committed in the first minute or 89th minute worthy of a card then so be it.

 

It matters not a jot how many minutes have been played.

Why not both?

Scotland's the most boring side I've watched followed by England.

They were more of a threat with Dykes, but he's injured.

 

 

[FoxTimmy2]

Germany dominating 

[fox_favourite]

Scotland haven't got any quality going forward. Adams showing absolutely nothing. Out his depth, though most are. 

 

Makes me laugh that he's a Leicester boy playing for Scotland.

As someone who often uses hyperbole, this is an excellent example thereof.
