[Belgium Yellow]

Wow!

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Double wow. Never seen anything like it!

I don’t think I have ever seen a team play so badly and yet win game 4-2, that game captured everything that is great about football - pure madness

 

[tonyw]

Lol - this Scotland team are the international football team embodiment of the notion that it's better to be lucky than good!
(don't get me wrong - they scored three worldies. But with 10 minutes to go, just before they scored their second, they'd had 1 shot to Denmark's 18! And that's after what was apparently absolute daylight robbery in their home game with Greece)

But glad to see them going back to the World Cup.

Calling it now though......they'll start with a creditable 2-1 defeat to one of the top sides (Spain or France, say). Then they'll play out a scruffy draw with a mediocre side like Japan or Paraguay. And then they'll just need to beat a minnow like Uzbekistan or the Cape Verde Islands in their last match to qualify for the second round for the first time.....and they'll lose 2-0.

 

[Basham Wonderland]

That was insane. Great fun though - I've only managed to get through about 10 minutes of the England games. They're dull as dishwater.

That was proper old fashioned fun.

 

[holdsteady]

A truly great match.

I have enjoyed Scotland not going to world cups, but with all these new teams making first appearances it’s time for Scotland to come back to the World Cup and lose to one of them.

Good to see Krastev scoring for Bulgaria.

 

[Village-Yellow]

Chuffed for Scotland. 3 incredible goals too.

Really hope they can deliver a good World Cup final.

Huge congrats to them for getting there.

Surely one of their biggest nights ever, most Scots would put it just behind that famous 0-0 win at Euro 2020!

Feel sorry for Sparky. Wales score 7 and he didn’t even get a chance to join in the fun

 

[lodeyellow]

As someone who was born in Argyllshire, I always like to see Scotland do well. Delighted for them tonight!

 

[ArrowsNumber9]

Family come from Fife so always watch Scotland and Raith on tv when I can. That was an incredible watch, they don’t know when to give up. Really enjoyed that.

If Harris played in it, Wales certainly aren’t scoring seven.

Cause and effect there in your statement.

 

[Dogbone]

Greg Leigh starts for Jamaica v Curacao shortly.

 

[chuckbert]

Not sure if anyone posted, but Ciaron Brown drew the foul that got Norn Iron the penalty.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Curacao become the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup:

Scotland 1 Curaçao 3

I've already placed the bet. It was odds on.

 

[holdsteady]

Curaçao has a smaller population than Oxford, first time you can say that about a country qualifying for a World Cup.

 

[chuckbert]

first giving Denmark a questionable penalty (yes, it was a foul, but in the box?!?).

The thing I don't understand is how that penno was given when the ref didn't even give a foul. Seems weird that if it had been outside the box according to VAR it would be play-on rather than a free kick on the edge of the box. Game's gone

Huh? That makes no sense . The Scots guy was standing on the line so I guess that’s inside the box ?

I’m also able to become Scots when it suits me. Last night was one of those times .

Is it where the bloke was standing, or where the contact took place? Either way, from the footage I saw there was no clear reason to give a penalty.

I'd say it was less of a penalty than the one VAR didn't give us at Wembley when Dale was scythed down by their keeper.

 

[Colin B]

I'm sick of hearing and seeing Scotland fans on TV and radio already. It's only a matter of time before they wheel Rod Plastic Jock fucking Stewart out.

Hope they get smashed in every game.

Maybe they should be closed down?

I want them to get over excited, Lewis Capaldi, Rod Stewart and Del Amitri’s World Cup song “this time we are getting out of the group” will be fun to play after Uzbekistan beat them in the first game.

Surely a reworking of Simple Minds' 'Kick It In' is what they need to do?

I like simple minds so I don’t want them associated with what will very likely turn out to be yet another failure.

The thing I’m complaining about is the inconsistency that var introduces. In that example, if var inspection had concluded it was outside the box they wouldn’t have declared that it was a free kick (because they don’t do that). Because it was (arguably) in the box, it’s a penalty. It’s like Schroedinger’s foul - neither a foul nor not a foul until var decides if it’s in the box or not.

Curacao become the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup:

Until the next world cup, of course, when fifa open it up to 128 countries
