Valiant effort by the Scot?s in the end, need to be basic and get crosses into the box

ITS NOT THE WINNING,ITS THE TAKING APART

Only watched the last half an hour but it?s been pretty entertaining. Low on quality mind.

Scotland huffed and puffed and probably shaded the second half.

Must have a decent chance against Hungary

Accentuate th Positive, eliminate the negative

They overcomplicated their game last night, and instead, should used a few early balls into either Adams or down the flanks. As you rightly said previously,they aren't technically adept enough to play out from the back all the time.
With the limited resources regarding players available, it would be brilliant if they were to get out of the group stages and win the following match after that. I wonder how many Scottish fans will be wishing England well this afternoon though 🤔.

Not many, England their least favourite team. As far as they are concerned anyone can win as long as it's not England.

When any of the home nations play, I like to see them do well, unless it's against England. I used to know a Scottish bloke who had the name surname Inglish and he really hated it 😁.

None of them. As soon as they are out they will all be supporting whoever England are playing against. They are more bothered about England losing than Scotland winning. Hope Hungary absolutely pump them.

I spend a lot of time and have family in Scotland.
In general they would love us to lose so I personally don?t give a toss about their chances.
Incidentally, I was in a pub in Dublin years ago watching England v Argentina and several locals had bought an Argentina shirt specially for the occasion. Pathetic.

I love Scotland, and I love the Scots. In football terms, they all hate us. Their national team are the Oldham of International Football. Still buzzing after winning 0:0 at Wembley in the last Euros.

My point being not all Scots hate England, yes there are many anti English who still think William Wallace is a god and Scotland should be independent after 100s of years of English rule, there are plenty that don't share this view.

I'm a sweaty and I watch England games and other home nations and don't wish them to lose.

I love Scotland. Lived there and never once encountered any anti-English sentiment. If they want the England team to lose, fine. Don't care. I'll still support Scotland and England when they play.
Scottish football is great (outwith the Old Firm). It still bears the true character of football, which is perhaps a way of saying it hasn't moved on as much over the years, but north of the border it seems less about money and celebrity- a lot of clubs break even. Who'd have thought that- football clubs breaking even?

These go to eleven.

Mate, I'm always wanting the home nations to win, and I've no doubt there'll be some Scottish fans who want us and the other home nations to do well too, but I'm yet to meet one. To be honest, England versus Scotland in the final would be a great game, but we can dream.
