Bang on, Modric and Cubillas were never known for their blistering pace. And we'll need the 'international' McTominay as opposed to the 'club' version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Shades of 98 when it took a Boyd OG for Brazil to sneak past us in the opening game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average age of the team is probably younger than Scotlands now. Part of the problem is the younger guys aren’t good enough yet. That and the fact Yakin is a very average manager who manages to get less than the sum of its parts out of the team quite often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Aye, the opening ceremony. At least the players should be shielded from it. Perhaps the Tartan Army can outsing allthe 'And now the pigeon of sporting friendship and the dove of peace rise from the dancers who symbolise the youth of the world...' guff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Fair play to UEFA, teeing up the eventual champions of Euro 2024 against the hosts in the opening game. In all seriousness, mixed bag. Germany is the weakest pot 1 team but Hungary wasn't the best pot 2 outcome, albeit beatable. Similarly the Swiss from pot 4. Playing the opening game will be some laugh like, fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Does anyone remember the clash at euro 92. We absolutely hammered them on shots on target, corners etc beat them in every department except goals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I don't know the format or if it's possible but I think the likely outcome is that we finish 3rd but aren't one of the best placed finishers. Perhaps with the first round now offering more opportunities for those that finish in third place we can sneak through to the last 16 like Northern Ireland did in 2016. However, I don't see much of a change in either skill or attitude that suggests we'll make much of an impact at Euro24 than we have at any other finals that we've reached. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the opening game will be some laugh like, fair play. Agreed. Hungary is really the only slip up. I’m not convinced Switzerland are any better than Poland/Wales/Ukraine/Greece/Serbia. And definitely below Italy. The 4th seeds are stronger than many of the 2nd. Had Israel not ended up playing 4 games in a week and a half, Switzerland would probably be in the playoffs right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Tough, but doable group. Germany are a mess, Hungary and Switzerland are both disciplined, hard working sides with a scattering of good to very good players. This could be a very low scoring group. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuttonDressedAsLahm Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 It’s worth noting that had we beaten Norway 4-3 or 3-1, we’d have a group with France, Netherlands, and likely Poland/Wales right now. Definitely not preferable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, the only goals we’ve conceded in the last year have been with second/third choices in those positions. I’ll grant you the striker, but as we know, we don’t require the same things of a striker that you would if we had Lewandowski or Kane.
