the name 'Czechoslovakia' very clearly incorporates modern day countries, which are playing in the finals of this very tournament. 

How are “o” getting on?

Theoretically Scotland could go through on 2 points and Belgium eliminated on 4 points.....

I don’t think Belgium can finish below Ukraine if they finish on 4 points? They’d either have the h2h on Ukraine or a better goal difference.

Certainly a possibility that a team does finish bottom on 4 points in that group though.

ah fair point.....anyway it would be amazing if a team were to qualify on 2 points and another go home on 4

Nice deliberate misquoting.

That would only work if I'd said the name incorporated those of 3 others, rather than the 2.

I’m not really sure how they would work it all out if everyone finished on 4 points tbh. As the head to heads would be all over the place.

Im presuming they just go to goal difference instead.

If we win tomorrow I'm celebrating like we're through, and if that turns out to be wrong, well, we'll always have Stuttgart.

 

I'll be doing the same. But when I rouse on Monday, reality will hit and I'll be bricking it.

I am too young to remember Euro 96. I just want to see Scotland actually win a match at a tournament.

This "if a herring and a half costs three ha'pence, how many apples are there in a barrel of grapes" stuff does my head in!

I almost long for the days when it was the simplicity of top 2 and you're through... unless of course we get through in third in which case it's a brilliant idea...

I've seen Scotland play European opposition 4 times at tournaments finals and we didn't lose any of them.

You wouldn't think that'd be too much to ask, I quite agree.  Just once, I'd like to see us goals up and coasting to victory.

It would feel almost anticlimactic if we ended up beating Hungary easily by a couple of goals. 😂

No it wouldn't, it'd feel fucking amazing.

We're not supposed to win easily though. We're supposed to be put through the wringer.

Winning easily would be the most un-Scottish thing ever.
