Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Dave]

Do Scotland now have to sit around until Sunday waiting for unlikely snookers?

They need to hope Morocco hang on against Haiti first.

They finish ahead of Haiti regardless don’t they? Thought I read it was on H2H first

Of course, yeah. Still undecided on whether H2H or GD is better. Can see the arguments for both.

If what you're looking for is interest maintained in as many games as possible, then goal difference would be better.

See the USA group - USA are group winners and Turkey are bottom, whatever happens.

Change it to goal difference, three teams could still win the group and any of them could qualify.

Head to head is probably fairer - the team that beats the other goes through.

3-0, there it is (Cunha),

Gerard Buttwadd seeing another disaster unfold then?

3-0.

[Pete3206]

Goodnight Scotland.

[Sexual Ealing]

I don't pay much attention to Hollywood, but I'm not sure Gerard Butler is an A-lister.

They're just not good enough even against a mediocre Brazil side.

Feel sorry for SJM but this is a massive reality check for Scotland.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bloody hell, I've not watched some of the Middle East teams but Scotland remind me of Villa when we had Kamara, Youri and SJM out with Watkins on one of his famine runs.

I feel really sorry for SJM.

Gerard Buttwadd seeing another disaster unfold then?

3-0.

I'm glad the commentator pointed out he was the one on the left, though, I was nearly confused.

[Brend'Watkins]

I don't pay much attention to Hollywood, but I'm not sure Gerard Butler is an A-lister.

This night just gets worse and worse for Scotland.

[Somniloquism]

Well they need the Czechs and the South Africans to both not win their next matches to keep one 3rd place below them straight away after this. Unfortunately for them, the Czechs are playing an already qualified Mexico. If SA win, and Czech's don't, Scotland will need a 4 goal difference for South Korea to stay below them as it stands.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

The bagpipes are playing...

[Flamingo Lane]

Never heard of him.

[Somniloquism]

The Scots are showing that the VuVuZuela is not the most annoying instrument ever heard at a World Cup...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I don't pay much attention to Hollywood, but I'm not sure Gerard Butler is an A-lister.

This night just gets worse and worse for Scotland.

I'm with SE, the only butlers I know excluding my man servant are Jeeves and Geezer Butler.

[Matt C]

Might be a good idea for Scotland to show a bit of urgency here.
