This is pretty crazy. The Algeria vs. Austria game is in the very last time slot (along with Argentina vs. Jordan) so both teams will know exactly what they need to go through.
There’s a likely scenario where both of them will have already guaranteed qualification. In that case, it would actually be beneficial to LOSE this game.
Second place in the group will likely face Spain, while third place in the group will get a much easier matchup such as Egypt or USA.
The best part about this is that these two nations have a history of stuff like this. In 1982, Austria and West Germany colluded so that both would advance to the knockouts. That result eliminated Algeria.
I can’t wait for this game.
A message from Football Park Scotland to the people of Boston and Providence!
Thank you very much for being quite amazing hosts for not only our on-site team but the whole of the Tartan Army, you have been unbelievable to each and every one of us. We know what a challenge it must have been to keep up with approx 50,000 of us who came to your communities throughout the course of the last twelve days or so but you’ve have been the best hosts that we could have possibly asked for.
We’ve made new friends, we’ve partied in the streets, drank in bars…a lot, we went to our favourite sport at Gillette Stadium and then went to yours at Fenway Park, we’ve taught you new dances which you have since taught back to others, we’ve swapped Irn Bru for Root Beer, we’ve laughed, sung and smiled a lot and we’ve even helped to declare a new international allegiance between Boston and Glasgow and not once did you question to why we put cones on your statues.
At Euro 2024 in Germany we officially declared Cologne as our home from home, after our game against Switzerland, and it might never have been topped. Let’s just say now Boston and Providence is also now our other home from home, we just need to cross a big ocean to get there and hopefully one day we will get that direct bridge link between Boston and Scotland built…let’s just connect Cologne to it as well.
Our on-site team have now arrived in Miami where we’ll continue to support our country and provide coverage so we hope you stick with us here on X(Twitter) and follow our journey and you can also find us on Instagram, Threads, TikTok and YouTube. Simply search Football Park Scotland and you’ll find us.
On our @thefootballpark website we have left a blog of our days together as a memory of all that has happened, find it by clicking the link in our bio that links directly to our website and once on go to blogs and you’ll find it from there.
We wouldn’t say goodbye as there’s a chance we could return during the tournament, but only if certain scenarios and results occur but there is no guarantees in football. So instead let’s say see you later and we look forward to returning, whenever that will be, and we hope that one day you too can come and visit us back home in Scotland.
Past 80 if you’re chill stuff like this should be a-ok in my book. If you’re like a red pig faced no fun allowed boomer you get euthanized but if you’re a big time chiller they should let you street race and do heroin and let some rounds off too fuck it.
Seeing the fan culture at this World Cup, bars being drunk dry, fans out about soaking up the cities they’re in and making an impression on the locals makes you realise how utterly shit Qatar 2022 was.
Boston things the Scots have to experience before leaving:
- a truck getting Storrowed
