I never saw the game so can't comment on specifics.

But as usual in a qualifying campaign, Scotland are all bluff and bluster with no end product. Disappointing.

I love how Thomas Muller can find himself in those situations to score. You can't say he's a very fast player or a great dribbler or even that he has a great shooting technique, he seems average/decent in all those areas. He just is on the pitch and gets assists and score goals. No one knows how he does it, but he does, amazing player.

There doesn't exist a proper adjective to describe his style, he's just... Müller.

I think the final scoreline was kind to Scotland, and didn't reflect the gulf between the teams' abilities. It was like the footballing version of boxer v slugger. Still, Scotland didn't embarrass themselves with the performance.

Not one of their players sang the national anthem.

The Scotland chances for the 3rd spot are not as bad as the press indicates. They are 4 points behind Eire with two games to go but for the next fixtures Eire receives Germany in a game that could give Germany the direct ticket while Scotland receives Poland, if Scotland manages to tie Poland at home they can leapfrog Eire because Poland will go into the last date with 18 points still without a direct ticket when they receive precisely Eire while the Scots will go up against Gibraltar.

Eire will have 2 very difficult games (Germany at home and Poland away) Scotland have a tricky game at home vs Poland and an easy away game at Gibraltar. I say the chances of Eire adding zero points and Scotland 4 points are almost equal.

I do not know the tie breaker rules if they both finish with 14 points but on GD Eire is 8 goals ahead of Scotland so it could come down to how many the Scots can bag vs Gibraltar. If the tiebreaker is the head to head then Scotland goes through (if they both finish with 14 points).
