Hunterian Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 51 minutes ago, faraway saint said: The facts are that we've played the Swiss 17 times, won 8, drawn 4 and lost 5. This technical ability is a bit of a white elephant as it was recently mentioned about the Danish who, unless I'm mistaken, we fairy recently beat 2-0 and quite comfortably into the bargain. I'm not saying we are in the same league as Spain for instance but plenty of teams have been misplacing passes left, right and centre in this tournament, not only us. We are what we are, a reasonable team with, IMO, no world class players, and a pretty decent manager. Last paragraph sounds reasonable. Technical abilities no ‘white elephant’. Huffing and puffing is our way but that won’t get us far. I’d settle for the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a midfield as gifted as most other teams but we are lacking in quality in defence and up front - but our midfield can't make up for failings behind and in front of them. My heart says 2-1 for Scotland but my head says Scotland 1 - Hungary 3. Hope I'm wrong (and not for the first time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of folk like Souness, Dalglish, Jordan never managed the next round. If these guys do then they truly will be legends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 We will probably become the first team to get 4 points and fail to qualify. It is the Scotland way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 0-0 half time. Too safe, need to take a few chances playing the ball forward more often. We NEED to win, we do have options on the bench but it'll need a more positive approach as much as changing the personnel. McGinn has looked in the mood at times.
