Will be so typical if we don't and crash out! 🙈

[CMurdoch]

Wish i had seen that.
Off the Ball evening show spoke about it in the last section of the game.

Only one of the 2nd placed teams qualify for Semi. Need Scotland to beat Indonesia, and Wales to draw/lose to Ivory Coast I believe

[JohnM1875]

I watched it and Scotland looked fantastic. In complete control the whole game and should have scored more. A few one on ones missed. Oli Burke looked fantastic, as he should at this level! Really enjoyable watch.

No Hibs representation?

This might be the first time we've beaten Brazil at any age group level? Well done to the laddies!

No Hibs boys involved at all no. Really good sharp quick passing from us though. I'll definitely watch the remaining matches.

Wow. from those highlights Oli Burke looked really good.

[Onceinawhile]

Any reason Scotland and Brazil have under 20 teams but Czech rep and the other team have under 19?

Are you sure you're looking at the same tournament

You're right. I didn't realise that.

[SteveHFC]

That's why Burke should be in the full squad ahead of someone like Forrest and Bannan.

So true. Only in Scotland.

He's playing against kids.Doesn't mean he can do it at a higher level.How many ninety minute games has he played this season for Leipzig?I think the answer is zero.

i take it ypu dont look to find info out then? he has played almost every game for his club, mostly subs apearance but he has played

Wakes drew 2-2 so a Scotland win v Indonesia sees them progress I think.

[frazeHFC]

Is Scotland's game being streamed anywhere today?

So he's not played for 90 minutes as the op said?

So as I said no ninety minute games.Which is why Strachan doesn't think he's anywhere near ready.

[CMurdoch]

Scotland 1 v 1 Indonesia at Half Time
Scotland need to win to get through to the semi finals

Can you post final score Would be nice to see them progress

[CMurdoch]

Indonesia went 1 up due to a Scotland defensive mistake in what was their only shot on target.
Scotland equalised after about 30 mins.
7 shots on target but only 1 goal.
Scottish players much stronger than the opposition but not fully taking advantage of the opponents playing out from the back at the moment.
Burke not playing today due to foot injury.

The only prob with that is the non English commentary.

I'm watch Super Soccer TV Live with a good English commentary.

He's played regularly for the second best team in Germany since signing for them and he just turned 20 in April. Unfortunately, the best teams in Europe haven't been tripping over themselves trying to sign other Scottish players but hopefully Tierney and Robertson will get moves to top clubs and play regularly too.

Not sure he has been playing much in recent months...might be wrong though

[CMurdoch]

15 mins of the 40 played
Still 1 - 1

[CMurdoch]

The coaching staff apparently think Burke could pay for 15 mins if required.
Reaching that point in 5 mins.

surely this group of boys know the "Scottish Hard-luck" script that comes with International tournaments? A late equaliser must be on it's way..

When's the game

[BH Hibs]

Are we definitely through? If Brazil win two nil would we not be out.

[Billy Whizz]

SFA posted that Brazil need to win by 1, while needing to score 4

It's 0-0 just after ht

LOL that would be a new way not to qualify :greengrin

I might be missing something but if Brazil win 2 nil they would be +2 and we would be equal with Czech Republic with same GD and for and against +1. Then would it not go down to them having beaten us. As I said maybe I'm interpreting the rules wrong.

Have a look at the Scottish FA twitter post, that's where I found my info

[BH Hibs]

Actually think I've sussed it. Indonesia's results wouldn't count so the 4:3 or above to Brazil would make sense.

Believe the England side is an under 18 one, so hopefully that will help us a wee bit

They won 3 out of 3 in group. Scoring 10 and conceding 2 😎

Mind you it was Japan, Cuba and Angola.

The England team is by and large an under 18 side but there are one or two "older" players. England are currently playing in the under 20 World cup in South Korea (play Italy in the semi finals sometime this week) that is where the "main" lads are.

To be fair England do seem to have had some decent teams through the age groups.

They do, but what happens to them after that?

[Lancs Harp]

I'll let you know on saturday night :wink:

But on a more serious note, for a moment at least, it is a dilema the game struggles with, very talented youthful players not fulfilling their potential, given limited opportunities because the big clubs want instant success and just buy the talent in. England for instance have two squads at under 20 level successfully competing in prestigious international tournaments at the same time right now, but how many of these talented youngsters will make it as Premier league regulars? Scotland are having a great tournament in France but you have to wonder where these players will end up too.

I notice the Scotland squad has 4 Kilmarnock players in it, they must be doing something right with their set up?

[CMurdoch]

I think a lot of the guys that get picked for these age teams are not necessarily the best players.
Many are getting in because at the time they are bigger and/or stronger than other players of the same age.
They are picked because their size and strength gives that team an advantage.

I think these are the players that don't get near making it because they are being picked for age teams on non footballing criteria.

I've just read Roy Keanes autobiography and that was exactly what happened to him in his youth. He was extremely talented but as a kid couldnt attract a professional club or get selected for Ireland at schoolboy level because he was considered too small. There must be countless examples similar to this.
