World Cup Warm-up Games

[swaddon]

Scotland take on Curaçao on Saturday at Hampden. It kicks off at 1 pm, presumably to avoid a clash with the moneybags league final at 5.

Curaçao is located in the Carribean, to the north of Venezuela. They qualified for their first World Cup this year. Ex-Hun manager Dick Advocaat resigned as their manager earlier this year, but was re-appointed a couple of weeks ago.

They can't be all bad if they qualified for the World Cup, so I predict a 1-1 draw on the basis that we never win friendlies.

Qualifying for them made easier by Canada, Mexico and USA all qualifying as hosts.

I suppose this game is preparation for our embarrassing 0-0 draw with Haiti

Mr C Marin to come on in the second half?

[RicoS321]

Red card for that? Fuck sake. That lad will probably miss out on a world cup game. Fucking nonsense. A yellow card. Easy decision, no requirement for anyone to get involved.

[OrlandoDon]

Can we sign Chong instead of olasanya?

[swaddon]

4-1 with a saft penalty.

[RicoS321]

Yesssssssssss.

We're winning this

Let's not get too carried away.

Ah, fuck it. Let's get carried away. It's coming hame.

So we lost 1-0 to 11 men and won 4-0 against 10.

That's not how football works

Lucky, the red changes the game, but I still think we’d have won. Boost for the fringe players, some getting needed minutes for match sharpness,  Shankland and Curtis two pluses, I hope shankland is our 9 and id like to see doak and Curtis on the wings against Haiti.

Next up for Scotland is Bolivia on Saturday 6th June at 9 pm Scotland time. It's being played at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey.

As long as everyone comes through it without getting crocked, I don't mind what the score is. But I predict a 0-2 defeat.

I think Curtis might take over from Doak. We're not playing both, with McGinn, McTominay, Christie and Ferguson to accommodate. Doak was pish today and could have played himself out of a start.
