European Finals.

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Scotland 1-0 down at home to Czech Rep.

Started brightly but not showing much composure

Big fan of them being in it. Paternalistic tap on the head if they do ok.

Piss funny if not.

Must be frustrating. Robertson really should've shot across the keeper when he was through, and what was going on with that lad standing in his own player's way as he was dribbling it into the box?

Very nice header for the Czech goal, btw. Nobody to blame - great ball and a first class header.

A brilliant header.. They didn't get out to the 2v1 anywhere near quickly enough, but the cross and header, like you say, first class

Whoops.. Halfway line jobby from Schick... Beautiful finish.. Scotland were looking quite threatening too before that

Fook knows what Marshall was doing so far off his line for so long though.. Really slow getting back into position

Fair play to Schick there. Spotting Marshall off his line and a excellent execution.

Scotland have created chances, but they just have no composure at all. They look so nervous!

Absolutely. Adams really should've done better with that (despite it having come off McGinn's arm)

Looks like one of those games where if Schick plays for Scotland they win handily. They've been generally pretty impressive.

Aye Scotland been good to watch but the Czechs better in both boxes. And that normally wins.

Either way - don't think there are any really easy games coming up. :-)

Yep Czech's looking every bit the "seasoned campaigners" tat BBC billed them as pre-match

Just took the sting out of the 1st half and took full advantage of the moments they had. Scotland's energy is working against them now. It's all a bit rushed. Short heel passes, bad touches and players sprinting out of position for no reason..

Great chance for 3-0!!
