The Footie Thread

[Wabinez]

How can a team (Scotland) have 0 shots on target in the match in a game that they need to win to give themselves the best chance of progressing?

Because they’re terrible?

Because the main man refuses to trust/back his best actual striker and plays the same donkey that does nothing.

Shankland has changed the dynamic upfront since he came on.

And we get suckered in the last minute. Same old same old.

I know people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones but Scotland really are absolutely awful

Ref gives that stonewall penalty and its a different story.

I didn’t think it was a pen, I thought the Scottish player jumped across the defender looking for the foul.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I think the most disappointing thing, I wanted Scotland to win, was that Scotland didn't even step up the pace until the 80th minute onwards. That was a really limp exit.

 

[Captainron]

Why a striker won’t take the shot and rather try and buy a penalty.

Thought the red was good.

Scotland were just shocking. Didn’t really try hard to win that game.

They didn’t have a striker though did they?

 

[nickjdavis]

Two poor sides, neither deserved to go through. The fact that Scotland failed to work the Hungarian keeper until the 98th minute speaks volumes.

I didn’t see that contact in fairness, I just saw the Scotland player fall back into the Hungary player as soon as he felt contact.
In reply to GiF Kane would have also gone down but I still don’t think it would have been given

Yes thought that myself at first he’s through why go down.
But on reply it’s a pen 100% VAR in Argentina must be as bad as ours .
Think Scotland have been very hard done by there.
But they don’t score goals and that means your out.

 

[Piece]

Can't fault the effort but no quality in the end.

Just seen the replay from the correct angle, yes a 100% pen

Apparently he jumped in front of him.

Strange one from the ref as I thought he did very well.

I thought on the replay the defender definitely catch’s the back of his leg, but I still think Armstrong jumped and stuck his leg out looking for contact.

Are you confident that they would've got a shot on target from the penalty?

P.S. I agree it should've been a penalty.

I’m not sure Armstrong could have predicted the knee in the calf like that, he’s just trying to protect the ball before the contact.

The defender is behind him .
How does he know where to “ stick his leg”
He’s trying to balance himself to get his shot off.,

 

[Slime]

Penalty, all day long.

I don’t get the jump though? The jump didn’t look natural to me, his legs are wide apart, just seemed an odd position to try and win the ball.
