  1. So tough for Scotland tonight. In all 3 games we've not really been second best other than the scoreline (aside from England). In every game we've created the chances to score goals and just haven't found that final touch. McGinn, Adams, Dykes, have all had chances to grab goals, nothing has come from it. 

    There are positives to take from this tournament and build on, let's hope Clarke and the boys do that.

    I wouldn't change the side. I think everyone merits a place in the team for Tuesday again. 

    I agree they all do, but I saw the England line up as a team to play them specifically, we maybe need something different against Croatia. Wouldn't be complaining if we did line up the same though.

    Lol.

    It's a shame we're celebrating a 0-0 draw, but in the circumstances it's a great result.  Only disappointment is that on the balance of play, we probably deserved the win.  England were utterly rancid, and aside from an opening ten to fifteen where they seemed to be taking McTominay out of the game with balls over the top at will, they decided to just...do nothing.  Can remember them having three decent chances, and that was about it.  We had just as many, if not more, albeit not the highest quality ones.  11 absolute heroes on the pitch, don't think anyone put a foot wrong.  

    Now Tuesday...deary me.  The least you can hope for as a team like Scotland is to still be in with a chance going into the final game, and we've got that.  But can we do it? Of course we can, but it remains to be seen whether Clarke can set up a team to go out and get the win we need.  He proved last night he can perfectly set up to nullify a stronger team, but I'm not sure we can afford to take that approach and hope one of our shots goes in.

    The problem is we have nothing else but to hope one of our shots go in, we just don't have a sustained attacking presence yet. There is promise in the Dykes and Adams partnership but neither of them are an out and out goal threat, we're relying on luck more often than not. However we can absolutely do it on Tuesday, we've put ourselves into a great position after the disappointment of game 1, we have to build on that momentum. I'd probably look to get McTominay back into the midfield to hassle the Croatia midfield 3 alongside McGinn and Gilmour.
