is that offsides?

 

[Ceremony]

It's incredible watching both Hungary and Scotland playing with x1000 more balls than England.

Not sure which Scotland you're watching

is that offsides?

Thought so first view not the second

 

[robertmac43]

It's just inevitable at this point. They won't go through any group...

 

[al secord]

Scotland deserved the boot, but Hungary is terrible too. Exciting finish.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I don't think they deserved the three points but they went for the win. I respect that.

We really didn't. Either tonight or against Switzerland. Negative, cautious, hopeless.

Hopefully that dude who was stretchered off is OK.

I checked in at around the 70th, not sure what they did before but since then they went for goal IMO. They had more to gain than Hungary by not doing it (who had to go for it) but I didn't really see negative football from that point IMO.

Their first shot was in stoppage time lmao.

Both teams deserve to go out imo. Awful overly pragmatic football stifling the creativity from both coaches. Pretty sure Clarke was trying to hold on for a draw as well and pray they get through on 2 pts.

Game only became interesting in last 10-15 minutes when tactics went out the window and players just took it into their own hands.

Not sure that's enough for Hungary. Let's do some math here. Basically the Hungarians want Italy to not lose tomorrow, they want England to win, and they want Turkey to not lose to the Czechs. They need 2 of those 3 to come to pass.

Yeah I started watching around the 70th and based on Ceremony's comments it seems like this wasn't the case prior but I thought both Scotland and Hungary were clearly going for goals in the time I watched.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Ahahahaha. Scotland.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I felt like you knew the Scots were in trouble when you saw how thrilled the camp was with the 1-1 vs Switzerland. Like a team entirely aware of its limitations and content to just not get embarrassed.

I think our one shot on target came in the 80th minute so probably.

The fist pump from Clarke at full time in that game was depressing and embarrassing in equal measure.

I watched most of the first half because I thought it would be the more open game. It was pretty shit.

Bizarre rant from Clarke about the ref being Argentine as well.

He knows he's messed up and is desperate for anyone to blame. As negative and dire a performance as there's been at this tournament. He's set us up to be miserably negative, and it hasn't even worked. Let the fans down.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

I know "if it ain't broke..." and all that but it would sure be nice to start the proper striker in Füllkrug at some point.

I mean it is broken, Germany could have played 240 minutes with Havertz today and the dude wouldn't have scored.

It could probably be rationalized that "it's working" in that Füllkrug has been highly effective coming on as a substitute and producing in that role, now in more than one tournament. I just suspect that he'd continue to do so in a starter role, but...
