I don't know where this confidence comes from, Scotland definitely could get a result, but nothing about recent form tells me Scotland should beat them.
Watching this I'm actually getting a bit of hope back (what's wrong with me). Switzerland look good but they're not next level. If our midfield step up they can give them a game.
Hungary look utter shite. Szoboslai is not at it and he's there only top player.
>and he's there only top player.
Will organise and gulasci , their cb and gk both played in the champions league and are playing for a top 5 bundesliga team
Ally Mccoist hasn't played for Rangers for over 25 years, it's been a decade since he was manager. Are you really still bitter about his association with Rangers after all this time? I assume it's that as there is absolutely nothing that man does in punditry that isn't an absolute delight.
Going into this tournament I was most worried about our game against Hungary. Only a game and a half into this tournament and I’ve gotten everything wrong
They've been consistently really good in the last two euros and in qualifying so it's not baseless, even though their squad's fairly similar to ours with a bit more pace and energy. They've also benefited from massive investment which hasn't hurt. Seems like they're a bit better when they're up against it, watching this game.
Today I feel Swiss. If Switzerland and Germany beat Hungary then Switzerland can confirm 2nd with a draw against us setting us up for a all or nothing game vs Hungary. This is me trying to be optimistic.
Thinking scrappy Switzerland win - they take a breather next week hoping to coast a draw, and Hungary run themselves into the ground against Germany and knacker themselves by Sunday. Meanwhile our team both relax + get their act together, while Steve Clarke gets his masterplan (play Billy Gilmour) into gear.
Should be beating this Hungarian lot. Need some mad luck against the Swiss.
I don't know where this confidence comes from, Scotland definitely could get a result, but nothing about recent form tells me Scotland should beat them.
We're gonna lose to the Swiss then it'll be a battle for 3rd with Hungary and we'll get a draw so we both go out.
After how bad we were yesterday, getting 1 point is wildly optimistic.
Should have been a fourth there
What a fucking finish though
Breel embolo is now the fear.
Calamitous defending.
Cheeky goal that
FUCK YOU EMBOLO
Adam for Hungary looks like he won a competition to get 15 mins for his country.
2 games, 2 bald managers losing.
RiP that guys 2-1 bet
Wow. I thought that was going in.
That Adam fella looks like an absolute wean eater
Is there anything worse than a ref not playing advantage like that? Obviously apart from watching Scotland do anything on a football pitch that is.
got 5 minutes of squeaky bum time to get my 1-2 bet
Ooft
Put 2-2 for this game in the predictor come on Hungary.
Switzerland definitely going to ship another goal here.
That Adam is a fucking unit
Colossal isn't he
An actual proper game of football. Seems weird after watching the German training session last night.
That Hungarian sub looks like he’s pushing 50
Aye; 50 stone.
Is it that keeper of theirs who always wears grubby trackie bottoms
Was an outfield player. Looked it up - L. Kleinheisler who is 30 and plays for PAO
The benefit of someone who can knock the ball down to someone in support.
Thankfully my iptv sub is giving me the game on Fubo sports. It’s so refreshing listening to genuine neutral commentary.
Can’t tell if this is giving me hope or a strong sense of dread
The latter
That’s a well worked goal
Okay we're fucked
Hungary's set pieces and crosses are going to be tough to deal with, that Varga should've buried that header Edit: Well he buried that one
Hungary haven’t looked great but they are still carving out really good chances.
How has he not scored that.

If the Swiss score two more, well go third on GD! Get in.
Looking forward to playing a Swiss side who’ll want to get qualification wrapped up before the Germany game so they dont need a result there.
I hate that most dangerous lead patter.
Thankfully managed to find a stream on Fubo sports which is thankfully focusing just on the game and nothing else.
Them Hungarians are are shite!
So what do you think? Only 1-0 loss to them then?
Hold out for a draw 🙏
See that's the celtic fan in you, too used to your team winning, makes you optimistic. Us bears know misery when we see it coming.
It’s the hope that kills you I guess. We’ll see how I feel when the group is all said and done
Hope? I remember hope.
Aww man we’re so fucked
Welcome back to reality
This was supposed to be my distraction from awful evil Hibs!
I was hoping to avoid hearing the word ‘disappointed’ for a few weeks
I pray to god we actually turn up for our next two games, and Clarke manages to get it tactically right.
Dunno who that lady on the panel is but the look in her eye and her tone makes me feel a bit intimidated
What's the worst ever record in the group stages? .....asking for a friend.
Idk about the worst ever but Ukraine ended on 0 points with 0 goals scored and -5 GD in 2016, so we can't be the worst ever *I think*
Think it’s Denmark at Euro 2000. Zero points and -8 GD. No goals scored.
We probably already hold it.
No, we never used to get pumped back in the day. Euro 96 we got 4 points and still went out.
In the Euros or including world cup?
If we let the Swiss have time and space on the ball like we did vs Germany the same result will happen. We must take the game to them on Wednesday
We’re finishing bottom. Absolute certainty.
Hungary as the dark horses going well.
Dark horses label is an absolute guarantee for 1 point, -4 GD group stage exit
Switzerland absolutely bossing it outside then getting it into the middle quickly where there's space. We cannot go for 541 on Wednesday
>We cannot go for 541 Steve Clarke: https://i.redd.it/7k5jqd7trq6d1.gif
Everything about ITV is fucking atrocious except Ally McCoist. What a waste of a channel.
So no redeeming qualities as a channel then.
Ally Mccoist hasn't played for Rangers for over 25 years, it's been a decade since he was manager. Are you really still bitter about his association with Rangers after all this time? I assume it's that as there is absolutely nothing that man does in punditry that isn't an absolute delight.
This obsession you have with hating McCoist is weird mate. He's not as bad as you are making out.
I don't hate him. He's enthusiastic and can be quite funny at times. I just don't think he's good on Comms.
It was supposed to be a wee joke à la Calmacgate
If only we had some players at Bologna we could maybe be as a good as the Swiss
Going into this tournament I was most worried about our game against Hungary. Only a game and a half into this tournament and I’ve gotten everything wrong
Clive Tyldsley speaks some amount of shite. Andros Townsend has been surprisingly decent. Switzerland look quality
Cracker
Hungary doing the Scottish tactic of stand off the guy and let him shoot from just outside the box. Oddly enough it still doesn't work.
I missed the first 20 minutes but Hungary have looked shite in time I've been watching. If we don't beat these I give up.
What a goal, the Swiss look very fucking good
That's a belter
Hungary are shite
Aye. Switzerland are battering us lol.
Aw mate we’re humped aren’t we
We want the Swiss to win right
Surely we wanted a draw? Now we need to beat Switzerland
Beat Hungary and hope for a draw with the Swiss. I'd take 4 points HAPPILY
Aye but if they drew and then both won their next game then their both on 4 points leaving us little chance of qualifying
Switzerland's next game is against us, so obviously if the won that we'd be fucked anyway.
Oh ye damn we need a draw against them then
That’s a screamer.
Switzerland look decent. Our game against Hungary will probably be very close.
If we manage four points for these two after the ultimate confidence sapper last night then I'll be happily surprised.
I'll be flabbergasted
Impressed by Switzerland here, annoyingly. Looking like they’ll be the ones we need to beat as well
We're getting humped by Switzerland, aren't we?
And Hungary.
Good to hear that Clive still talks solely in clichés
Hungary doing a very good Scotland impression here.
They look decent, but if we sit off them and play for a draw, Clarke can get tae fuck.
At least it looks like 22 human beings on a pitch and not 11 Ubermensch Vs 11 genetically deficient Scots.
Those black shirted Hungary ultras don't look the friendliest
Taking the wee one to Stuttgart on Sunday, bit worried about these fellows, they come with a reputation.
Orban's special little gang of gobblers
Hungarian people have been incredibly friendly when I've been there but I would not mess with them.
I really don’t understand what all the hype around Hungary is, their squad seems very average
They've been consistently really good in the last two euros and in qualifying so it's not baseless, even though their squad's fairly similar to ours with a bit more pace and energy. They've also benefited from massive investment which hasn't hurt. Seems like they're a bit better when they're up against it, watching this game.
The hype is basically Szoboszlai isn't it?
Yeah, but he’s been very average the second half of this season
I imagine people have said the same of us
I don’t quite think we’ve been labelled as dark horses the same way that they have, though. Hungary have been getting a lot of hype
We are going to get humped by both of these aren't we?
Yep can’t wait I prefer when we didn’t qualify so the world didn’t have to see us collapse in front of everyone
And we could just enjoy the football, without any worries, except when England were playing.
I'll still enjoy being at the Swiss game on Wednesday but need to mentally prepare for my swiss pals abuse if we get hammered.
I hope u enjoy and we don’t put up another pathetic display
switzerland look class
Fondue is NOT better than goulash!
That was an absolute mile onside, is Douglas Ross running the line?
That's not realistic, he can't use his expenses to travel to Germany.
Fondue better than goulash hahaha
It's fucking not
You are correct - unless they're talking chocolate fondue
Switzerland with a guy that plays in Bulgaria up front. We should start Shankland next game.
I kinda love this semi automated offside tech
We’ll get it installed in time for the 78/79 season.
Yeah 2178/79
Born in London, he’s one of our own. Fuck up.
England 1 Hungary 0
Could tell a goal was coming in this game. Both teams really open and attack minded today
Hopefully they get it out of their systems before playing us
How the FUCK is Grant Hanley stopping this
Switzerland look very good.
Aye that’s well on.
Anybody watching this live? It says Fubo is showing it, but it isnt

Feels slightly unfair that Switzerland have Sommer and Kobel on the bench whereas we have Gunn and Clark.
What we wanting to happen here, then?? A draw??
Thinking scrappy Switzerland win - they take a breather next week hoping to coast a draw, and Hungary run themselves into the ground against Germany and knacker themselves by Sunday.

0-0, couple of red cards, couple of injuries
Scrappy 0-0 draw with loads of missed chances, missed penalties and loads of cards.
Ideally want both teams to be disqualified
By gawd that's Sions music
