Always puzzled me how he missed his tackle in 2006, I mean, if you're going to get sent off for it at least hit the target. You mean like this?

BramcoteRam84 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 So all teams have played now. Germany looked good but we don’t know how good as Scotland were horrific (along with Ukraine probably worst performance in the tournament so far), Spain won convincingly but weren’t convincing conceding a lot of chances, France were shaky, Portugal were shaky, and England weren’t great although Serbia never looked like scoring. In other words all the favourites bar Germany had difficult first matches. Because the first game is usually tricky whoever you play.

Ram-Alf Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I've watched all the games so far and have been very impressed with the standard, Not a great deal of tippy tappy...to me to you, Full blooded in most games 😊 And I thought tournament football wasn't supposed to be like this, Albania Vs Croatia...my hell for leather at 2-2 👍 RadioactiveWaste, cstand and Stive Pesley 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turkey/Georgia game yesterday was brilliant. It was more like basketball! Having said that, it's UEFA, so they'll find someway of ballsing it up good & proper, just like the Champions League RadioactiveWaste and Ram-Alf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Draws are killers at this stage. 2 points won’t be enough to go through so Croatia and Albania will have to win their final games. It’s weird that Hungary will probably lose to Germany, but winning their final game against Scotland and they’ll likely go through. I said it before, but if you only need 3 points from 3 games to advance, there is something wrong with the format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I'm expecting a much improved Scotland tonight. A point would be good, but ultimatly, no more embarrasment is the key thing, go down fighting and give us something to hope for vs Hungary.

JfR Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Surprised to see Shaqiri is still only 32. Thought he'd be a lot older, especially as he's already been in the States a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Scotland much better than they were against Germany (it's be hard to be that bad again to be honest) and although slightly frustrated to only have a point it keeps the hopes alive and a win against hungary should do it in this format. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland on the other hand were abysmal. 1 point in the bag and on the beach next week, the usual Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nailed on, of course, especially given their goal difference. 4 out of 6 third place teams go through (it's a really stupid format, it really is) so 4 points would just need 2 of the other groups to have the third placed team on 3 or less, be probably unlikely that all groups have the 3rd place team on 4 points and Scotland go out due to their goal difference. Much more likely Scotland go out by failing to defeat Hungary, although, it would be the most scottish thing every to get 4 points and then go out.... This competition should really be reduced back to 16 teams. Edited June 19 by RadioactiveWaste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Scotland much improved, but perhaps fortunate to secure a draw. I'd like to see them progress to be honest, if only for the travelling fans who have supported them through thick and thin. McTominay the stand-out for me. Does Shaquiri ever score ugly goals? From side on I immediately thought, WTF is the keeper doing there, but then you see the reverse view and think, no feckin chance. Some strike!
