Apart from the France win and the 1-1 against Germany and Italy, I cannot think of any results against bigger nations at home Going back a bit. We need to catch them on an off day thats for sure.

Still wasn't a win though It wasn't but I would still class it as a decent result (sadly). I reckon there is no chance of a win against Belgium but we could scrape a draw if things go our way. We could also get pumped 0-3. I would take a draw against Belgium right now but I want a win against Russia. Anything less than 3 points against them means our campaign is over at the half way point. Anything we get against Belgium would be a huge bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Sure we’re the only team to beat the top seed home and away, Croatia and lose to the bottom seeds home and away, Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t need to beat Russia twice to stand a chance although it would certainly help. If we take 4 points off Russia and win the rest of our games (excluding Belgium) then that would be enough for second place, assuming Belgium beat Russia (which is not a certainty as Belgium may have won the group by the time they play Russia again). We are probably more likely to drop points the Russia to be fair so you may well be right in saying 4 points from Russia might not be enough but it certainly gives us a chance.

RightPeg Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Draw with England.

Apart from the France win and the 1-1 against Germany and Italy, I cannot think of any results against bigger nations at home Draw with England? Beating Croatia. But you're right in that the 3-2's against Spain and Germany (both world cup winners at the time) were close but no cigar. 😕 Edited August 21, 2019 by RightPeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Predictions are about as much use as tits on a fish, particularly when it comes to Scotland, but I have a feeling we’ll beat Russia at Hampden, lose to Belgium and lose narrowly to Russia in Moscow. Hopefully we’ll get at least 4 points from the 3 games though to keep our hopes alive going into the last 3 games but it will be tough.

I've read your stuff before as we approach the crunch of a group - Just brilliant. Did you start in the dial up days of 1999 and been going eversince? 😁.

Lol Lots of people from Scotland, even football fans, don't support the national team. You don't appear to even like Scotland as a country and you certainly don't like anything about the national team and I'm pretty sure you've admitted in the past that you don't go to Scotland games so I'm struggling to see why you bother.

If we beat Russia I for one will be very happy as we are back in with a chance of getting second place. If we draw or lose then qualifying in the normal way obviously isn’t to be but we’ll still have 4 games to get the squad ready for the playoffs.
