It must be hard for San Marino, pre-match team talk - right lads i want you to go out there and keep it below 7

by half time

[hallelujah]

Come on, Scotland

Give us a couple of goals

Scotland can use a win for the playoff seeding

I think I'm gonna stick that on for the 2nd half. I like look of the Danes these days (full points up to tonight from qualifying?) and it's good to see the jocks being able to put out a decent team for the first time in a while.

[Joe 90]

Is does beg the question, should San Marino be in the competition at all?

[malmomike77]

Who decides if a country cannot be represented? San Marino pop 34K, Liechtenstein 38K,. Andorra 78K do we say you must have a pop of 100K to participate?

[malmomike77]

Great worked goal - Smith-Rowe on debut

[panama hat]

do we say you must have a pop of 100K to participate?

Nah, but but should be tiered, similar to the leagues.

Double digit scores lack credibility and really do not further football.

[Reg Dingle]

Should be like boxing and have someone throw a towel in.
Would only have to sit through 15 mins of OBellend vs Europe and EPL's top 7 or 8 then

[Reg Dingle]

And instead of a towel they should chuck the losing manager in...into the stands with the baying mob of supporters for a good fukkin shoein, whilst Hal's trying to rim the useless Goblin faced prick.

[malmomike77]

Some odd reffing going on, i didn't think either penalty was right and now chalking off a goal for a backheel by Abraham which accidentally catches a player and he books him

[Joe 90]

Bellinghams goal should have stood as well!

Alexander Arnold the king of the assists..

[cyrille]

Was hoping they’d beat the 13-0 against Ireland.

[harrybarracuda]

I see Scotland are lining up themselves up to break sweaty hearts again, but looking at the opposition I doubt they'll get past the semifinal.

[pickel]

Gonna be fun watching the Mexicans play in sub-zero temperatures tonight. Expected to be -15c with the windchill.

[pickel]

And what a result, 2-1 for Canada.

The cold may have given Canada the advantage, but we managed a draw at Azteca with the altitude, heat, humidity, and pendejos shining laser pointers in our keepers eyes. That moves us to the top of CONCACAF, and rightly so.

This was a historic win for Canada.

[Edmond]

There's gonna be some tears.

Only 3 out of 12 will qualify from the playoffs.

Sorry about that

I think I'm gonna stick that on for the 2nd half. I like look of the Danes these days (full points up to tonight from qualifying?) and it's good to see the jocks being able to put out a decent team for the first time in a while.

Plagued by injury and suspensions!

I see Scotland are lining up themselves up to break sweaty hearts again, but looking at the opposition I doubt they'll get past the semifinal.

We are really looking forward to our first semi-final... ever...

There's gonna be some tears.

We're used to it.

Still though, we are playing the best football we have in a very long time.

Could have been 4-0.

[Edmond]

Lewis Fiorini

Sounds about as local as half the Irish team.

[dirk diggler]

Born and bred...




...In Manchester...




...Of Italian descent.



Just goes to show that there are 2 kinds of people in this world. Scottish, and those who want to be Scottish

If they are all one-game ties, then they're cup ties.

And we've all seen cup upsets.

[dirk diggler]

We don't have anyone of those unseeded teams to worry too much about at home. Czech Republic being the least favoured.

Only NM are below is in the FIFA rankings, so they might be hoping for us.\

And they're pretty poor, so Scotland will be top of the polls for doing a runner and claiming asylum.

Scotland and Turkey have never played each other.

I'd bet there is some ice cream involved somewhere too

[malmomike77]

But then cheer up when you realise you'll never have to play for Utd

[Joe 90]

One season at City and i reckon he could break a few more records, not gonna happen though.
