"Hello Chubbsy me old china... think we might find Morocco a tough nut to crack... It's World Cup Fever up here though." My Lovely Richey, It's a tricky one , but since Scotland already has 3 points in the hand I guess they're feeling more at ease and can take them down with some counterattacks. C’mon Scotland 💪💪💪 | |||

"Football is a game of two halves..........well it used to be." Being in the US, it’s now 4 quarters. New rule change from the quarterfinal stages………. You will be able to throw the ball in one handed. As long as, just before you do, you shout “Hup, Hup!” | |||

It's about the caliber of their players after all the money spent in their leagues. It's foolish to invest billions in a league that doesn't yield any profit for you.hope you understand???????? | |||

"I think the format is unfair to the likes of Scotland and potentially England. The 12 group winners and runners up automatically qualify for the next stage along with the best 8 third placed teams, so Scotland need to be in that best 8 third placed teams. But Scotland can't know the magic numbers until the last matches are completed on Sunday. They could be losing to Brazil by two, and that might be enough. But they won't know, so go chasing the game and concede again. And that rash goal could knock them out. The point is, they have no way of identifying what will be good enough. Now fast forward to the weekend, Croatia versus Ghana in Philadelphia, or Algeria versus Austria in Kansas City. These nations will know their mission, precisely. That a defeat is good enough as long as it doesn't go over a two-goal margin, that a point is definitely needed, that one more goal clinches it. They can tailor the performance, the personnel, to the precise requirements of the competition. Scotland, indeed all of the early competitors, play in the dark. That's not fair." Equally Scotland know a point and it's done for them. So they do have some insight into what they can do | |||

" Just because he is the top striker doesn't mean he needs to be on the field for the entire tournament. Don't you think there are days when he just doesn't perform at his best? A good manager should have various strategies in place. It's not a big deal if he gets substituted, right? Don't you think Watkins would have been eager to score, as he has demonstrated many times before? And it's ridiculous that you're assuming I would question why he dropped Kane if that were the case. | |||

I completely agree; the format is terrible. Ideally, the final matches should have been played simultaneously, but it is not possible ..However, in the World Cup, it's ultimately more important to perform well rather than depend on goal differences in the initial stage. | |||
