This offside system is so much better. We'd be waiting another 5 minutes for random lines being drawn in epl
Switzerland winning the group as things stand?
Terrible defending by Tah. Neuer has been booting the ball all game long as well.
If Germany finished 2nd, who would they play?
Come on guys... almost a second goal for them?! 
Italy/Croatia in the Ro16 then England/Winner of group C in the QF
that stamp was rooney in the 2006 WC!
owwww , nice! That's assuming England top their group?
There's scrappy matches and then there is Hungary v Scotland.
I know there's so much at stake but making my eyes bleed. Scotland going to have to show far more composure to create actual chances.

Steve Clarke still playing Che Adams over Lawrence Shankland is indefensible.
Has anyone scored with a direct free kick yet?
Goal was offside no?
Whoever finishes second in group B
Have to disagree. The pitch is really bad and he had to clear a few backpasses on first contact. I was happy he consistently got them out of the danger zone, even though he didn't start attacks with the clearances.
Thanks.
Jeez. Just seen the replay of that goal to Switzerland. Pretty embarrassing for the heretofore dominant hosts to be going 1-0 down.
Scotland only need to finish 3rd to get through right?
First
Look forward to Tunisia vs Japan and Australia vs Poland in the first knockout round of the next World Cup.
Better off playing them both up top.
We also need to be one of the four best third placed teams.
No. They need to win. 3rd with 2 points would likely not be good enough.
I’d hate to have topped the group and come against Germany in the last 16 because they finished 2nd.
I kind of get the tactics of this game - don’t go out blazing at first. I think 2nd half we see more action.
I mean, those don’t sound that bad. They still sound more like group stage games though.
That was a tactical foul
I'd be livid with my defence. Why are they leaving it there?
No, only the top 4 3rd placed teams go through. 2 points isn’t going to be enough, they need to win.
Nope 2nd
I think we need a change already. Not looking good.
They need to be one of the four best 3rd placed teams. 2 points most likely means they will be one of the two worst 3rd placed teams. They need a win.
They would need a lot of results to go in their favour to go through on 2 points. Possible but highly unlikely the stars would align that much.
Need a win tonight.
Own Goal has been quiet for Scotland so far.
Big game bottler?
Big game bottler?
We're set up and playing as if 2 points will be enough
If Germany finish second they are fingers whoever finish first
Especially with Scotland poor goal difference
Yep. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are banking on that though. Anything to avoid having to win a football match at a tournament.
Oof. Imagine Spain facing off against Germany.
It’s kind of like the opposite of what happened in the 2010 World Cup, where England finished second in Group C because they were held to a draw by the USA and Algeria and had a worse goal difference than the Americans, so ended up having to play Germany in the round of 16, a game in which they of course ended up living. The USA, who topped the group, lost to Ghana.
