June 14, 20214 yr Ref free for the shoulder by Adams there an example of the ref being too quick to blow up against Scotland imo!
June 14, 20214 yr Feel a bit for Scotland - I don't think they were that bad, but needed something out of that game as it means needing to beat England or Croatia to go through. Looked a bit like some of the players were nervous throughout, the defence in particular- totally understandable. Loads of examples of players playing an extra touch or not taking the opportunity.. not sure if this coaching though.
June 14, 20214 yr Scotland definitely created more and better chances, but Czech didn't really need to do much in the second half. Two superbly taken goals, a couple of very daft mistakes for the second one
June 14, 20214 yr I hate to say it but I think that’s it over for us. I just can’t see us standing a chance against England or Croatia especially if we can’t beat the Czechs. Bitterly disappointing.
June 14, 20214 yr Think the scoreline is a wee bit harsh but at the end of the day we had ample chances to score and fluffed it every single time. We defo had enough good chances to win this game and only have ourselves to blame for blowing our best chance at 3 points and 3rd place. Gonna have to pull off some magic to avoid finishing with nil points and nil goals - sod qualifying that was never on the cards anyway but defo ain’t now First goal was piss poor to concede but the second I’ll give the Czechs. It was a cracking strike
June 14, 20214 yr Author We were the better team, just think the tactics and team selection cost us. If we had beating Czech I would have fancied us potentially getting a point against England
June 14, 20214 yr We were the better team, just think the tactics and team selection cost us. If we had beating Czech I would have fancied us potentially getting a point against England I think the opposite, if you'd won here I think you'd have just played it safe against England. As it is now, Scotland need to win, I think that suits England more. Even though England are better than Scotland all over the pitch, these games are always tight. But just not sure Scotland will be strong enough defensively to hold out England either for a 0-0 or a 1-0. Tasty looking game though.
June 14, 20214 yr Have faith the Czechs were a lot better oooking than the Croats for me so yous could win that one!
June 14, 20214 yr A chance for England to get a double whammy on Friday - beat Scotland to go through and almost certainly consign Scotland to their customary exit at the group stage.
June 14, 20214 yr If Scotland 'goes for it' against England, it'll be like 5-1 England. Marks my words. Or like when Panama 'went for it' against them in the World Cup and that was 6-1. When you're out-classed, it's unfortunately (for the viewers) best to pack it in and hope for counter-attacks. Iceland did that best against England and I don't know if anybody will ever be able to repeat it but you've got to try. Edited June 14, 20214 yr by DJHazey
