Scotland v Brazil Wednesday 24th June

[swaddon]

If they play the game of their lives, then we might get something from this.

I don't think they will, though. 3-0 Brazil.

[Kowalski]

Looks like Raphinha may be out. Hamstring. He’s not set the world alight at the tournament anyway but he could easily make a James Hunt out of the likes of Hanley with his pace. 

[swaddon]

Neymar could start this game. I like to think he's a washed-up has been, but he'll probably score a couple.

[manc_don]

Surely Hanley doesn’t get another shot, does he?

Of course he does. Other than one mistake on Friday night we've been pretty solid defensively, plus he's a Steve Clarke (and Andy Robertson going by the 28 Summers film) favourite, so I don't see any way he gets dropped.

Exactly. If McKenna isn't fit, it has to be Hanley. The others are pap.

0-1 Brazil and we scrape through from 3rd place then get a royal bare back humping from the Germans

As it stands, we'll be making the big trip to Mexico. But there's a lot of football still to be played.

[swaddon]

No Hanley. That's a surprise.

[Jute]

No Hanley.

Shankland as a lone striker is not something I agree with.

Is it? He’s fucking hopeless. 
 

Decent looking line up with 4 ex-Dons. 

[swaddon]

And one son of an ex-Don.

[RicoS321]

4-2-3-1 I'm guessing. Probably the best lineup we could put out with Hickey injured.

[Radiored]

Here we go ..... tae quote a long retired Pittodrie chant .... Gerrintae them! Boot! Boot! 

[swaddon]

0-1. Fucking around at the back again.

[Radiored]

Aw For FUCK SAKE!!! .... McKenna!??

[swaddon]

Another gift wrapped goal.

[swaddon]

I'll not hear another bad word about VAR.

[Kowalski]

Playing out from the back is the curse of modern football. 

That aside, we’ve actually been doing quite well. 

[swaddon]

0-2. That's the end of that, then.

[Radiored]

Tatties ower the side

At least they had to work for that one.

We’ve not been bad but it’s crazy mistakes. We could have cleared it before the second, plus Patterson all over the place when he’s in the position to win the header. 
if it goes 2-1, unlikely, and a Morocco second half maybe it’s game on . But more realistically we could get pumped, although will we go damage limitation and will Brazil just relax and tighten up…?

Nope, another gift.
