Day 10 | Scotland v Hungary | Switzerland v Germany

[thisisnottaken1]

McTominay suspended for the round of 16 in case we reach it. Beyond unfair.

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

Absolutely nonsense decision that yellow. Ref totally taken in by the theatrics.

 

[Dudu]

What a pass from Wirtz.

 

[LInkash]

Now that McT is suspended, he should go Keano in Turin mode

 

[Offside]

Scotland just look awful. What are they thinking?

 

[Red Stone]

Feck me what a pass!

 

[PoTMS]

Another ref that is card happy.

 

[Bocca9978]

Bit harsh.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Absolutely nonsense decision that yellow. Ref totally taken in by the theatrics.

The number of times they have gone down and had a quick look to see what ref is doing.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Scotland just look awful. What are they thinking?

I don’t know. Why we aren’t playing for the win (which we fecking need), I don’t know.

 

[LARulz]

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.

No, only the top 4 3rd placed teams go through. 2 points isn’t going to be enough, they need to win.

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.

Need a win tonight.

Thanks all

 

[WeePat]

Germany are getting nada from Havertz.

 

[the_cliff]

Scotland win the ball back in good areas and then turn to pass it backwards. Like just go for it, when you build it up you don't even get it into those areas you win the ball back in anyway.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Good fecking grief, why did we allow him to run all the way through there?

 

[edgecutter]

McTominay with a brilliant pass to help Hungary

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Scotland win the ball back in good areas and then turn to pass it backwards.

It’s so bloody frustrating. We need to score!

 

[PoTMS]

These two have no business being in the knockout stages. Hopefully one of the groups that only the top 2 go through.

 

[FootballHQ]

Scotland are not scoring are they

Clarke got to ditch the back 5 in next 10 minutes. Too late if he's just putting on another forward or attacking midfielder in 85th minute.

 

[TheGame]

Scotland need to get 2 strikers up top and go for it. Hungary are there for the taking. Then play McTominay and McGinn in midfield making runs forward. Robertson needs to get forward more as well.

 

[Reiver]

I think we try to give it to Robertson too often

 

[Sly]

Actually watching Scotland rooting for them but my god they're shite.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Scotland need to get 2 strikers up top and go for it. Hungary are there for the taking. The play McTominay and McGinn in midfield making runs forward. Robertson needs to get forward more as well.

This. Why the feck aren’t we starting Shankland? He’s been neglected this tournament.

 

[Superunknown]

Even Mel Gibson can't help Scotland tonight.

 

[do.ob]

Scotland advancing with 2 points wouldn't even that unlikely. They'd need two teams to be worse than them:
Group B: Italy and Spain would need to beat Croatia and Albania.
Group F: Portugal and Turkey would need to beat Georgia and Czechia.

 

[Offside]

Scotland win the ball back in good areas and then turn to pass it backwards. Like just go for it, when you build it up you don't even get it into those areas you win the ball back in anyway.

It’s quite amazing the way they’ve approached this game. When they do get into a good position the final ball is beyond abysmal.

 

[TheLittleOne]

Aebischer plays a really good tournament so far

 

[the_cliff]

Better from McGinn.

 

[Shane88]

Screaming for a handball when there is 40 camera angles showing the ball hit the stomach of the Scotland player with his arm nailed to his side.

Footballers are dumb cnuts.

 

[Reiver]

McGinn just did more there than he's done the tournament so far

 

[90 + 5min]

Robertson starting to get angry. Correctly. He wants Scotland to stop passing backwards with Rice-ball.

 

[Sly]

Scotland advancing with 2 points wouldn't even that unlikely. They'd need two teams to be worse than them:
Group B: Italy and Spain would need to beat Croatia and Albania.
Group F: Portugal and Turkey would need to beat Georgia and Czechia.

Portugal and Spain will probably rest some players. It can be risky.

 

[TheGame]

This. Why the feck aren’t we starting Shankland? He’s been neglected this tournament.

Yep 3-5-2, McTominay, McGinn and one other in midfield. Also someone better going forward than Ralston on the right. These tournaments are once every 4 years FFS, Clarke is so negative here.

 

[do.ob]

Portugal and Spain will probably rest some players. It can be risky.

Of course they can't rely on four results going their way, but they would still have reasonable chances, like 20-30%?

 

[PoTMS]

Clarke will leave it too late. There's 30 minutes left. Shankland should be on by now.

 

[TheLittleOne]

That guy is giving us nothing, at all.

nice dive and he gave it to you ;-)

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Kimmich has been awful all tournament.

 

[Sly]

Of course they can't rely on four results going their way, but they would still have reasonable chances, like 20-30%?

Yes I agree. Portugal and Spain B or C would probably beat their opponents too.

 

[do.ob]

There's a nice symmetry to Neuer and Sommer showing their age, while ter Stegen and Kobel sit on the bench.

 

[TheGame]

Clarke will leave it too late. 30 mins left. Shankland should be on now.

It’s remarkable seeing someone more negative than Southgate.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Yep 3-5-2, McTominay, McGinn and one other in midfield. Also someone better going forward than Ralston on the right. These tournaments are once every 4 years FFS, Clarke is so negative here.

Exactly. And we’re lucky to even qualify for them. We’re one of the hosts of the next Euros so will qualify automatically for that but still. Clarke is our Southgate.
