cstamomusa 3,812 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (tu) X 1 million. The difference in marking was staggering - they were not giving us an inch, no matter who received the ball, while we backed off allowing them all sorts of room to move. Drives me radio as well, as we see the same far too often when watching our own club play.That was the same with the USA team last night, they gave the Argentinean players lots of room to play.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 FFS!Sorry you don't approve. Shame it wasn't 3-0 - the Brazilians were denied a stone waller when Caldwell hand balled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,303 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Scottish teams in general need to start realising that the opposition can't score if they don't have the ball.This sitting deep and inviting better teams on only works once in every ten matches, it's fucking ridiculous. Sadly managers and players are now brainwashed and will not accept the obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I don't mind this game as such, but when losing it meant we drop to pot 5 then you have to wonder if we could not have faced easier opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinGers93 388 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Outclassed by a far better side. It's as simple as that. Neymar was on a different planet to anyone in a Scotland shirt today, and anyone on the park at all actually. Charlie Adam once again proved he's just another recipiant of a "OMFG HE'S IN THE PREMIERSHIP AND IS FUCKING AMAZING' award. A very average player who is ridiculously overrated. We should never have played Brazil today though. We're fast slipping in the world rankings and losing games isn't helping, no matter who we play. Today should've been a friendly against a beatable team who are above us in the world rankings. This should've been about getting another win under our belts to boost confidence and boosting our world ranking/seeding for future tournaments. Today's defeat could see us drop to 61st in the World Rankings and potentially pot 5 for World Cup Qualifying. Ecuador, Tunisia, Guinea, Iran, Burkina Faso...all above us in the world rankings and all very, very beatable. Let's get some wins under our against teams like that instead of bothering with games against teams at opposite ends of the quality scale (like the Faroes and Brazil). It'll be so much better for us in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weedurranty 28 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 so what did Scotland learn from today exactly? besides running around chasing a team that is in another planet from us, huffing and puffing. For me, its all about money. All the more reason why the SFA know SFA about building a football program. Thats why were ranked 65 in the world i guess.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 You are in Pot 4 for the WC draw and so to avoid dropping into Pot 5 what do you do?- erm, play Brazil in a friendly. It is insane, but this is Scotland we are talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa6995 3,774 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ive read this pot thing but for the life of me I cannot see ho a team who has won its last two games 3-0 can drop 11 -15 places in the rankings because they get beat by Brazil of all teams.Smells like shite to me.

I don't see the point in playing a game we were always going to lose when so much was at stake. It is about time Scotland qualified for a major tournament again, we don't need to make it any harder for ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
