Looking like a pipe dream now anyway! Scotland have had much better teams than this one tbf It's just that so many teams get to qualify it's easier to get to tournaments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adem Poric Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) It was a very good header for the first and a tremendous finish for the second. That being said these two teams look like they spend all training without a football. Running around and misplacing passes. Our attack should pick them apart at the back.

owlinexile Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 16 minutes ago, hirstyboywonder said: The comment was in reference to their performance in European Championships to be fair. They have never got out of the group stage, 3rd place in the group could be enough to get them through so it's not inconceivable that they could become statistically the greatest Scottish team in the history of the Euro's. I guess it would be technically correct (if palpably untrue). They are a fairly typical Scotland side. Solid and competitive enough, with a handful of players of genuine class. Scotland are coming out of an era where they have struggled to live up to that standard. But I wouldn't say this lot are any better than, say, the last time they qualified for anything in the late '90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I completely agree, and the commentators probably feel the same, they made a comment based on the statistics of never getting beyond the group stage, nothing more.

With the wealth of attacking talent that Southgate is so reluctant to employ, England really shouldn't have much trouble against this Czech side. Bet it's a 0-0 draw.

Saying that, I expect both saw this as the best opportunity to win a game in this group and they are likely to play more defensively against us and Croatia, though Scotland won't have that luxury if they don't turn this around.
