Americans last week: Soccer is ridiculous the players are wimps it’s a children’s game why are we hosting this tournament?
Americans this morning: Honey pack yer bags we’re moving to Scotland and becoming Celtic Rangers Hearts Hibs Inverness Caley Thistle supporters!!!
Scotland winning their first game in a World Cup for 36 years, at the first World Cup Scotland qualify for in 28 years being greeted by a round of ‘aye but we were absolutely shite’ from pundits and analysts talking about what Scotland need to do to be better against two teams who are much better than Scotland is buttoned-up-the-back. Overhead kicks and 50 yard goals lost to the memory. Midfield rotten. Defence abysmal. Possession terrible. XG rank. Steve Clark got it wrong. Again.
Chain up the swings. Hair shirts for all.
They know the script when they get nothing, go nowhere, but the Tartan Army play keepy uppy with a cop or go down a chute in a kilt playing bagpipes.
It’s an affliction to be better at moaning than winning. And it’s a total beamer.
I took this photo at Scotland v Portugal in 2018. Less than 20k in the crowd. Felt like we were miles away from getting anywhere.
10 months later and Steve Clarke came in and its 3 tournaments and no matter where you look you see kids in Scotland kits.
Scotland are back baby!
@hampdenroarpod If we try to press high they’ll go over the top of us and beat us in behind for pace. Mid/low block required, mckenna and hendry at centre half, mcginn/mctom/christie/doak with shankland and adams up front. Would bite your hand off for 1-0 right now
