Constantly looking where he is, being a general annoyance, brilliant Watched that on sportscene too, sort of thing you don't pick up on at a game. Thought Dykes was very quite but if his main role was ro keep their best player quite, he nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finish from Mctom is sublime too. I love the crowd reaction, there is a lull in the crowd when the Spanish full back catches Tierney, then a buzz when Tierney leaves him for dead, another lull when the cross hits the knee of the spanish defender.......................then absolute euphoria when McTom smashes it home. I am off to watch it again 😄👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 A marvelous two games. Can't help but love McTominay more and more. What a lad! Rodri - a bitter Spaniard with a Welsh name- GIRUY! A point in Oslo would be good although hopefully we go there looking to win! Georgia are a really decent wee side. It's a tough group - you could argue Cyprus are the one of the best 5th seeds too! Get to the summer with 12 points would be unbeliveable ; 10 would be very good - Norway would be on 2 from 9! After the summer its - Georgia, Cyprus away - we really need to win the Cyprus game ; Spain is a free hit again ; Georgia 1 point is a must, a win would be great and then a potential cup final at home v Norway!

We’d really need to take 6 points off Norway though and probably Georgia as well. Is there a benefit to winning the group over coming second? Higher seeding for the finals draw maybe? It’s been that long since we’ve qualified through our group I genuinely have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe they seed on recent qualification records too so we'd be marked down on that (I believe) even if we won the group but I could see us being third seeds definitely.

Aye I think 3rd is the best we could hope for but we could possibly get that by coming second. Would depend who else qualified I guess. We can worry about all that later if we actually qualify. Would make a huge difference to whether we could get out the group or not but I just want to get there regardless of seedings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I was just talking with a Portugese lad I work with, he was congrats on beating Spain, so I showed him the score again on my phone for a laugh. It was fotmob, he asked about the total possession. According to Fotmob, Spain had 75% of possession and we had 25%... Is that accurate? I don't think so.. How do they come up with this Stat? We had more than 25% I'm sure !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of possession a team has is immaterial if you can't do anything with it. We had more shots on goal than them and two goals which says how well we used the ball when we had it.

Possession means nothing if there isn't an end product. They can pass the ball about the park all night as far as i'm concerned as long as we win the game. 😄😄😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UEFA actually have it as 32%-68% but I’m not sure which is correct as most sources do show it as 25%-75%. Not that it matters as, like you say, dominance in possession doesn’t win you games if you can’t convert it to chances and goals.
