Watched the first half of Canada-Qatar - glad I was too tired to watch the second half!

Yeah, gave myself a time out yesterday, as non of the matches really interested me that much, enjoyed the evening sun and touched grass, haha.

As we have USA vs Australia and Scotland vs Morocco tonight which should be good.

FWIW it didn’t look like a nasty challenge with any force. Strange one.

Good god the atmosphere in the Australia vs USA game is terrible.

The game is terrible. Australia looked scared in the first 15mins. Low block attics helped cause the own goal and their own downfall. Hoping for a miracle come back.

Oh dear Scotland off to a very bad start in the first. 2mins!

Hasn’t got much better. Should be three down already.

Maybe the pitch is on a big slope.

Yeah they were all over the shop defensively a bit ago, badly. It feels like a boxer getting a sucker punch and is just holding in there, on wobbly legs trying to see the round out (half time).

Some ridiculous fouls being committed here.

Got to be in Monmouth before 9am tomorrow for a football tournament.

Going to bed looks like a very appealing prospect if that’s what Scotland are serving up.

It’s okay they only have Brazil next, they can turn it around.

Somehow they only find themselves 1 goal down.

One quick break. Whip it onto a big head.
Park the bus and pray.

Can happen. (I say can)

Nice little spell at the end of the second half I thought, let’s see if they can build on it.

Oh no. At this point Scotland are going to die wondering.

Gannon-Doak seems like the only player alive.

I can’t believe I’m still awake. This half has been even worse than the first. A proper stinker.

I don’t think the ref knows the rules

That was very poor, Scotland had no shots on target in the whole match.

Looked like McTominay was trying to win the game all by himself toward the end there.

Anyone else think McTominay doesn’t look match fit? I know he was unwell just before the tournament. He’s struggling to impose himself on these games.

Red card for covering mouth when talking to opposition player in the Turkey v Paraguay game. Glad that rule came into the play and very glad the officials had the balls to actually enforce it.
