Hi
After watching Brazil v Morocco, I can not see how we could get anything against them!
A draw would be fantastic against either of them, but feel we would need to play a lot better than we have seen and a fair bit of luck!
You never know 3pts may be enough to get through, but goal difference could end that dream!
Just happy to be there, anything else would be a bonus!
No Scotland no party.

Or it could be No Scotland at the party.

3 points and -2 goal difference has something like a 70% chance of qualifying. That been said, we would need to not get pumped off one of them. We usually do better against the better sides, so I think we will get a draw with Brazil.

Struggle to see Scotland getting through if that's the requirement.
Expect them to lose both games to Brazil and Morocco.
And I expect at least one of those teams to beat them by 2 clear goals.
Scotland will pay the price for being too negative against Haiti.

We tend to play better against top teams, take our chances, and you never know.

Nice positive post, True Blue 33!

TrueBlue, we played 2 up top that's not being negative. Struggled to match their strength and pressing in the heat, I thought.
I would have taken a 1-0. Look at their previous results, I didn't expect them to be mugs and they weren't. Maybe just lacking a bit of quality up top, but a very athletic side.

Nah, I have a feeling this is Scotland's year, I can see us beating either Morocco or Brazil. Morocco are a very good side, and we do well against good teams, and I feel this Brazil team overrated and living off past glories. I'm a believer and optimistic year of practice following the real Blue Team, I guess!

Brazil were crap against Morocco, just passing side to side along the halfway line. While Morocco were trying to attack every chance they got.
Scotland won't play as openly as Morocco did, so Brazil will have to break us down and we can hit them on the counter.
Morocco are a different animal, and if their keeper had been in the correct position he would have saved Vini Jr's shot and then likely Morocco win.
I fancy our chances against Brazil, not at all hopeful about Morocco.

Fancied Morocco to top group before ball was kicked, but I think playing the better teams gets more out of Scotland. I don't think Morocco or Brazil has got a top class no9, so expect us to double up on each team's wingers and play deep against both, take a chance from a set piece and you never know.
I think they will get the point they need over the two games.
