Flower of Scotland is, in fairness, excellent. 

Best performance by the Scottish this tournament no doubt. 😁

5th o.g. of the tournament. 

Most there's ever been is 9 for the whole competition. 

[radcliffe white]

Come on Swiss turn the screw and finish these off 

[Marc505]

Great strike

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Not a bad game. 

Both sides with chances.

Always the potential for a mistake too.

Embolo is a diving wanker

Scotland turning the screw now

[Wanderlust]

Scotland need their quality players to step up now: McGinn, McTomanay, Andy Robertson, Callum McGregor etc need to come good. And their carthorse defence needs to stand firm - looking at that Blackburn reject in particular.

[Wanderlust]

Meh.

Scotland done unless the Germans pump the Swiss.

4 points should be enough for a “best of the rest” 3rd place though.

Well McFadden as co-commentator was arguably to most "one-eyed" I've ever heard.

Wanting your team to win is all well and good, but every decision was analysed entirely through a blue lens of bias- it became comical.

He was very complimentary of the Swiss goal.

There was no "decision" to be made there though. 

It was a great strike, and no one could deny it.

I was thinking the same made co-comms on England games seem positively neutral.

They will be through if they beat Hungary

 not a bad position to be in

Anyone know what "No N. E. T. A." on a Scottshish flag means ?

Mate of my mine from Kirkcaldy reckons it’s No North East Tartan Army- but most of the Tartan Army are apparently Eastern

It’s just the way I think.

 Same with our pundits & commentators when we’re in the latter stages. Adds to the drama of it all.

Maybe but GD is pants after the Germany game. How many 3rd place go through?

I think it was given to McTominay in the end.

Any "least/most" stats should be balanced against the increased games since 2016 to 51, from 31.  Pre-1996 it was 15 games (8 teams) and upto 1976 it was 4 teams!

He's certainly rated over McClean. Sad to see such bitterness just because Rice chose to play for England over Ireland - who incidentally are not doing too well in this competition.

He has a point in there somewhere though, however it's out of context as Rice complements the other England players well and it's a team game.

People always whinge about GSTK being a dreary anthem but it's better than the Hungarian one and many of the others.

The German one is a cracker if you don't sing the Nazi lyrics. Italians is probably my favorite one 

Mine too. Always a wry smile when the 'we are quick to death if Italy calls' bit comes around but they do sing it with passion.

I think it's shite. Just reinforces their inferiority complex.

Now they've had a 1-1 victory, they'll be even worse until they are tromping away from Stuttgart with their tails between their legs.
