exile Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hopefully Scotland will be inspired by Denmark, seemingly down and out, who absolutely had to win and also overhaul Finland's goal difference. Of course they would have had the confidence of already scoring against Belgium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add - If Spain beat Slovakia and Sweden avoid defeat against Poland then Slovakia would finish 3rd in that group and depending on the score with Spain would likely miss out on a best 3rd place. Would put the winner of our game in Budapest Just looking at Spain’s group now as well. Spain win by two goals, Swedes avoid defeat, and that’s Ukraine in group C going through, instead of Slovakia in Group E. Its hopefully going to be two days, not just one, of interesting viewing. Budapest more likely than Glasgow, Spain have to click at some point, you’d think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland beating Sweden might reverse that though. Can't be fussy though. Any win will do please boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 54 we had to beat Uruguay to force a play-off (no goal difference in those days). Lost 7-0 1958, had to beat France to get a play-off with Paraguay, lost 2-1.

Texas Pete Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Good thing is we can’t go out on goal difference, head to head or disciplinary record or anything like that. If we go out this time it will be because we failed to beat the Czechs or Croatia at home and there will be nobody to blame but ourselves.

Can’t quite get my head around it. Was 9 in 1998 and my family had me going daft for it but with little understanding overall. Been home and away for somewhere approaching 18 years and been to both group games so I’ve taken in every bit of the experience. In shock it COULD happen tonight.

Haggis_trap Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 What happens if we win 1-0 and England get beat 2-0 ? We would then be on same points, goal difference and goals scored with England. I assume yellow cards would then decide 2nd place ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just saw Liam Cooper talking on sky sports and saying we might need more goals depending on what is happening elsewhere. Have we missed something or is he talking about second place. I hope the players know any win will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have 2 yellow cards and they have one so they would need to pick up 2 more bookings than we do tonight. If disciplinary is also equal it would come down to who qualified better so England would finish second in the group. The only way I could see the Czechs winning tonight is if England get a man sent off so that would work in our favour. Let’s just hope we beat Croatia though and everything else will take care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly irrelevant question now that a win guarantees qualification in 3rd with the added bonus of a potential game at Hampden.

Irrelevant! finishing ahead of England in the group, we haven't done that for decades. Admit it you used to enjoy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
