Gonna bring this up here because we (Italy) are in a precarious position where if we lose to Switzerland tonight there is a big chance that we wont qualify for the WC directly and we all know how the last playoff qualifier went. When is the last time the reigning European Champion didn't qualify for the subsequent World Cup? Has it ever happened?

You've been told Greece 06, but also Denmark 1994.

some of those players denmark put out tonight are some of the worst i've ever seen in the shirt before, jesus christ.

I'd like to never see Sisto or Uhre in the shirt again tbh. Congrats Scotland

Scotland really wanted it more than Denmark, I think. The team looks solid and I was moaning that it lacks a proper goalscorer just before Adams scored the second. Playoffs will be interesting

It's now just San Marino and Andorra that are actual whipping boys in Europe, right?
I think now even Luxembourg, Faroe Islands and Malta have the occasional good result; and Liechtenstein graduated to being in the same tier as Estviania a few years back.

Sobering to see how we play with 20 or so recent callups out of contention through injury or covid
This is not to detract from Scotland's win, they deserve it and I hope they make it through the playoffs

You’re right but even Andorra are beating San Marino now.

The benefit of the Nations League is that these smaller nations play one another and get to try and play more positive and progressive football against their counterparts. The problem is even San Marino are too poo poo for THAT.

Absolutely concede that it was a second-string Denmark team from midfield onwards, and that they had already qualified anyway- but previous Scotland teams would have still gotten beat, nevermind get as many points in the group as we've managed. Steve Clarke deserves so much credit. We're a relatively young team as well, most of them are in their mid-twenties.

Biggest question for me going forward is what we do with McTominay, I'm not sure he gets into our strongest XI despite being a regular for Man United.

Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


That says more about the sorry state of Manchester United's midfield than it does about Scotland

I like McTominay though

they couldn't score against Latvia, maybe it's best to just give up
