scotlad Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 4 hours ago, Bobby Russell's Lovechild said: I could never imagine us playing against the likes of Belgium, like Canada are doing atm It was kind of like a '90s style Scotland performance against a "big gun" from Canada, I thought. Spirited, honourable, but ultimately the gulf in class told in the end. Belgium have a great team on paper and on the pitch, but off it they're led by a chancer. The Canadian coach obviously had them figured out and with a bit more quality in his team they would have won that game. You can bet other coaches with stronger squads than Canada will have the Belgians sussed too. Ultimately that's why I don't expect them to go as far as they could in this tournament. As for Spain, well, I cannae wait to play them, can you?? 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays they play very entertaining football. The manager needs to be brave enough to drop Suarez, although he wasn't their worst player. That Pellistri fella was awful. They do have some really cracking players and I hope they can progress to the later stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his wee shudder moment was looking back to Uruguay’s injury time winner v South Korea in 1990 that effectively put us out. We were going through until that goal…..

Partied with them all night in Turin after the game. So I don't know where you are coming from there. As for the media, well........... Brasil deserve their place in history of the WC so don't know why you have a lot of pent up anger towards them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve also been pretty shit most of my lifetime, Germany destroying them in their home tournament was pleasing to say the least.
