Super goal.
Albania are frightening on the counter attack
There'll be a couple more goals in this one I reckon
Yet another really entertaining match played in a fantastic stadium with a great atmosphere.
Fancy Croatia to get something eventually but if Albania get the win then the Croats could well be on the plane home as their last game is Italy.
At least we'll be in good company.
Croatia so good this second half, albania just hanging on.Quote:

Really deserved equaliser for Croatia.
Croatia deservedly lead 2-1. What a game
Wow what a turnaround
2-1 Croatia. Albania need to calm themselves
I'm knackered watching this . What a game :greengrin
What a game!
Gooooaaalll!
2-2!! Game of the tournament
Draw good for Scotland if we finish 3rd and both these lose their last game. The more 3rd place teams without a win the better

That was a red imo for the Albanian 8
End to end even in to the 99th minute. What a match
Wonderful entertainment.

Good shout. If Spain and Italy do the business then this group will not be producing a 3rd place qualifier.Quote:

Twat, Lineker, taking great glee, showing his dislike of Scotland. He described Scotland as guinea pigs against Germany and even went to the trouble of learning the German word, taking a cheap dig to get a laugh from the other pundits.
Was just about to say that. More and more draws and heavy defeats are needed in 2nd round of fixtures. It’s the hope that kills us…Quote:

Is that like The Rangers playing their reserves???
Hungary done more in 6 minutes than we managed in 90...
So long as Germany get to grips and score soon its all good
I didn't suggest that. I said it's pretty obvious and English football legend will find Scotland losing funny. Who honestly cares? Are we really that sensitive?Quote:

That was a clear push on the Hungarian defender.
I think anywhere else on the park you get a foul for that.Quote:

One dimensional with pretty much zero pace up top. Very easy to defend against.
Hope I am wrong and we actually see a bit of fight and organisation.
Hungary looking much more like the team that was in form coming into the tournament, anyone thinking they’re an easy game for us is off their head.
I thought that too.Quote:

Even if we get out the group wouldn’t we end up playing Spain or Italy from group B ?!
If we come 2nd yes. 3rd we're rewarded with Portugal I thinkQuote:

Hanlon’s header disallowed for Hungary.
Getting out the groups would be a great achievement any after that is a bonus, unfortunately the team who beat Spain and Norway seem a distant memory.
We set ourselves up for the mickey taking. Doesn’t bother me, he will get some back when England crash out. It’s just banter , nothing I can take seriously. :greengrinQuote:

He’s not a player now, he’s a British TV presenter. I’m sure he’s intelligent enough to recognise he wouldn’t do the same if it was England, hence he’s incapable of due balance as the lead presenter, as opposed to a panel pundit.Quote:

However … it’ll never change. So yea, let’s try and do something ourselves to ram it is the attitude we need.
Are there always some 3rd placed qualifiers at these events or has the number of teams changed? Seems a bit undeserved to go through if you're 3rd in a league of just 4. Why not just have 32 teams to start with - or even just 16?Quote:

At least we are starting to qualify for finals again … we have never shown anything more when qualifying though …yet 🤞🏻
Big chance there for Hungary. Mon Germany, get that 2nd goal please
2-0 Deutschland
Gundogan.
Yes Germany!
Free-kick for the Germans for a similar offence that lead to their goal . They are a good side who'll be hard to beat.
That no9 for Hungary, what a ****ing heifer, makes Grant Holt look like Twiggy 😲
What a playerQuote:

Oblaks positioning awful. So unlucky Slovenia...
Football eh ....bloody hell.
England unchanged for the Denmark game. Wee bit surprised by that. Thought TAA might have lost his spot to Mainoo.
I think that equaliser is potentially good for Scotland.
Ouch. Serbia do not deserve that. Nor do their horrible fans
FT
What was the term Montgomery used 🤔Quote:

He's a brilliant keeper too.Quote:
