Projected line ups.
The standard of clubs the Haitian player are playing at is not as bad as I thought it would be.
Nearly half the team seem to have been nationalised, as 5 of them were born and bred in France.
Couple of Premier League players albeit Isidor's minutes dwindled second half the season
Pierrot plays for a Turkish team in the top tier that finished 8th
Couple of MLS players.
Angers finished 13th top tier France
Couple of players 2nd tier France, bottom 6
2nd tier Dutch league side, 5th, lost play off final.
Ecuadorian side top tier, 3rd
Swiss team, 3rd in league.
Scotland still should be winning this game as their players are at a distinctly higher level, but don't think it'll be a landslide like the battering they recently gave Bolivia, a sort of mid table Premier League side, against a Championship side forever fighting against relegation to League 1. Probably a 2-0 or 3-1 win, something like that.

Predicted team line up all correct.
Given how bad my match predictions have been so far, 1 correct from 6 matches, I'd worry for Scotland.

Win this & they've an excellent chance of progressing.
Like to see 'em win tonight,meself.

... Totally agree Penzance, would love to stay up and watch but my bed is calling, maybe just watch the first half and the second on the radio. 
Some big stadiums case, 80k for the Brazil game, not sure what this is.
The Scottish team is jam-packed with ethnic Scots. Not much diversity there at all. How....refreshing. 
Plenty of the Scotland team not born in Scotland, same with most teams tbh.
They have Scottish blood and heritage though. It means something.
Scotland looking like a good dark horse to go all the way!
No joking. It's not a strong group from what we witnessed earlier.
Drifted from 1.3+ early doors all the way to 1.6+ in closing.
Yeah, weird that they're still 1.4 at 1-0 if they kicked off at 1.57.
B365 paid my 8/1 bet builder out already - McGinn to score and Bellegarde booked 
Thought they might give the goal as an OG , could still change i suppose

I did not know that. 
HTF do they define an Own Goal these days , yer man has booted it into the goal
Scotland are f00king sho1te.
That is my considered appraisal of the first half performance.

For sure penzance. Haiti looking dangerous enough to nick 1. And again, with respect to Haiti, if you're struggling to comfortably dominate Haiti, you'll get your lights smashed out against 2 sides ranked top 10. Yes sofaking, I'm a bornNbred Scot.
Gawd knows TON, keep changing the criteria - the easiest to understand was if the effort was on target before the defender touched it then it stayed as the attackers goal.
imo the Scottish goal was an OG but i'm not complaining

Ok, good luck in this tournament.
This water break is just an excuse to show more TV advertising, isn't it.
Its 20 C there at the Mo , these breaks are a Joke
thx sofaking. Cheer on Brazil for me, as that's where my biggest windfall will be
so we've had 1 penalty kick in 7 games?
also, it feels like the game flows better than in recent big championships. Not that many VAR checks. Have we just been lucky these first 7 games?

Scotland got there in the end..but what a damn STRUGGLE it was! Can't possibly envisage anything other than 2 convincing defeats for them in the next 2 matches.
Can they nick another point , 3 points 1-0 May not be enough
overall thought Haiti were the better team

Haiti certainly had more urgency about them, granted they needed it as they were chasing the game from early on. But it also highlights why many Scotland fans aren't having Clarke. His pragmatic approach is simply pathetic.
Ok, only the hardcore remain. Who's here for Australia v Turkeys?
Looking forward to this 1. The Turks have the class but the Aussies are battling bastards! BTS at EVS looks sweet enough for me to take.
Not sure what to bet here. I'll watch for a bit and see how it's going.
Australia don't have any good players but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

European teams doing poorly so far.
No European teams in this game though.
1-0 HT. I'm losing hope for overs. Turkey are hugely overrated. They won't even get out of this group.
Bit harsh. Aussies in protect mode since the goal. Not easy to find free spaces and create chance after chance against these type of battling, well organized sides. With their possession and positional dominance, The Turks are still good for at least a goal though, and Aussies will continue to carry a pacy break threat. BTS and overs are far from lost. Keep the faith.
A lot of people were hyping them up. They look very average here.
btw almost ALL sides will look average against this type of block. With so much dominance, all you can do is be as measured and clinical as possible with the decent openings you manage to create. The Turks ain't managed it well enough so far.
Feel CHEATED when this type of certain looking bet fails to land.
The stats are embarrassing for Scotland though, how does the Haitian side who are the second worst in the tournament by ranking, have more of the ball, more shots, make 60 more passes, have more corners and an even goal expectancy - 1.04-05.
If the same Morocco turns up against Scotland as they did against Brazil, hard to see how Scotland will cope especially if Clarke adopts a 'containment' approach.
Kind Regards.

I thought Scotland were a little lucky to win ,but I have watched them in WC finals since 1974 and today was the 1st bit of luck they have ever had. I still think they have a hard job to be 1 of the best 3rd placed teams. The Brazil Morocco draw was bad news for scotland.
