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.

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.
Report DixieDean60 June 14, 2026 3:06 AM BST
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 Grin

Report DBLyourmoney June 14, 2026 4:11 AM BST
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.

1-0 HT. I'm losing hope for overs. Turkey are hugely overrated. They won't even get out of this group.
Report DBLyourmoney June 14, 2026 6:05 AM BST
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.

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.

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.
