SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

Annother national trauma: In the extra time after 90 minutes, 1-1, in the final, Rensenbrink hits the post. It should have been the winning goal, making up for the final of 74’. Altough all the Dutch players felt that even scoring that late in the game, the Italian ref, would of found a way to make sure the Argentinians could have there equalizer. All Dutch players also stated they felt they where not allowed to win. And if they did, they would not leave the field alive.

The funny thing is, our 2 best players, Cruyff and Van Hanegem (one of the finest midfielders ever) stayed at home. If they went to Argentina, fix or no fix, we would have won.

 

Shitty mistake that led to the goal, but Scotland just take too long to move the ball when they get in attacking areas, and get shut down by the Brazil press instantly.

 

Oh for fuck's sake

 

Got away with that.

 

Rules based order.

 

It was fixed. Totally. It came towards the end of a era of match fixing from the 50s through to the 80s. Europe was basically a pest hole of agents, spies, former Nazis, bags of money, bribes galore etc.

 

You cant expect the Scots to get anything past alisson

 

Hydration break. Momentum shift.

 

My god Scotland are frustrating to watch. They get in decent positions to overlap on the wings and no one makes the run. On the occasions where someone like Robertson does make the run they take too long to release it.

 

Ooft, that was some hit for the second Haiti goal.

 

Free out surely?

Game over. World Cup over.

 

It's all Scottish mistakes at the back rather than Brazilian brilliance. 2-0.

 

All over the place. All over the place. Could be 4.

 

This is inept.

 

I was reading something about that years ago. It was like the Dutch were met with the drug cartel threat of "plata o plomo"

Only in their case they were never getting the former but if they pushed it they were highly likely to get the latter.

 

I hope Hut doesn't get blamed for this at the press conference after.

 

It was a junta government, death squads, same mob who went into the Malvinas a few years later. CiA controlled. Absolute scum.

 

Quite surprising that FIFA would award them the tournament.

 

Scotland are done. Absolutely pathetic performance.

 

Inept

 

Double time. Never should have been allowed to host it, never should have been allowed to cheat through it.

 

They're a pathetic side. They're badly managed. Clarke is just not a good coach. Robertson is done. McTominay was let go by a shite United. McGinn is a trier who is lucky to be in a squad as good as Villas. Lyndon Dykes?

McTominay has had two headers at least one he should have buried.

Scottish football is riddled with partisan parochial shite too. It strangles innovation and expression.


Their only hope now is that Brazil go to sleep and they can grab a late goal or two.

 

So it is nae coming (geographically close to) home?

 

Dykes plays for CHARLTON ffs.

 

Donald Trump is going to get as close as any Scotsman to the cup ever will.

 

I actually think they have some good players, Clarke is a horrible coach though. Everything is set up with maximum caution. I get you have to go forward whilst being somewhat sensible when facing a side with the attacking talent of Brazil, but they're a Shane MacGowan level of toothless in attack.

 

"Shane McGowan level of toothless" z

I know Gummy bears with more teeth than this Scottish team..

McTominay misses another chance.

 

Jack Charlton had the right fuckin idea. Press this mob and then pump it over the top to a big target man like Quinn or Cascarino..

 

Miami must have gay bars around. Couldn't Neymar find somewhere else to be.

 

Fucking hell, screaming at my TV. The amount of times there is someone breaking free on the wing in acres of space and they NEVER fucking play it!
