    Can someone explain to me why Scotland felt like they didn't need to close down Luka Modrić at all the entire game?

      If Portugal lose v France tomorrow then the only way they go through is if Slovakia beat Spain. Will also mean that England have to play Germany in the next round.

      Fingers crossed!

        I watched your game - a lot of hard work but lacking class in a few areas.........but the nucleus of the side is young and I think the future is promising. I thought your midfield would swarm Modric based on what ye did vs England but he is just absolute class.

        I watched him dismantle Ireland when he was in his pomp in Poznań 9 years ago (wow.....time has flown) and he still looks class now when he has time. I’m sure the country had 3 great days and I’d love to be where Scotland are from a footballing perspective

          Which on current form is pretty likely. We're ****ing wank.

          Worst Spanish side ive ever seen. How we can go from having an absolute dearth of world class forwards for the last 25 years +, to now having zero. Its an utter disgrace. Morata is so so so ****. Moreno isn't much better despite his form for Villareal and the rest.....meh!

          Also no crafty AM's anymore. They're all plodding Atletico Madrid DCMs that just knock the ball around sideways and cant shoot.

          The most dangerous player is Alba FFS. Jesus, we're Scotland! Our best player is the ****ing LB, our midfield do nothing and our strikers cant finish!

                FFS, we go through this at every international tournament

                Im half-half and my football allegiance is firmly with Spain and has been since the day I was born.

                    Yeah, I think there are some signs for us to be positive. This has probably given interest in the national team for the first time in 10-12 years when we almost qualified a few times.

                    Mad though it seems, given his one cap, 20 years and lack of experience, but we really missed Gilmour. What he brought to the team V England we didn’t have last night and that was ball retention.

                    All day I was reminding myself of the class players that Croatia had and that they got to the World Cup final three years ago. And that proved to be the case.

                    They could be a very dangerous opponent in the knockouts.

                    Hungover this morning. Wednesday hangovers can do one.

                      that does sound like us. Our best 2 players are both left backs!

                      Also Alba is the Scots and Irish-Gaelic name for Scotland.

                              Declan Rice and Calvin Phillips is not the midfield that will win this tournament for England.
                              But you think Henderson and Bellingham is???


                              Surely there is more chance of Shamima Begum coming home than "football" coming home!!!

                                McTominay, Teirney, Robertson, McGinn, Gilmour and Adams are the start of a decent team.

                                But we have some average SPL and Chanpionship cloggers making up the numbers.

                                That we missed Gilmour with one cap is quite telling. But. We lacked what he gave us. Ball retention.
                                just caught up on highlights & McGinn has to use his right foot @ 1:51 in??
