It probably easier when you play Luxembourg, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

Jacob Brown put in one of the worst Scotland performances I've ever seen. Bertie Vogts bad
Instead of who? Copenhagen, Sheffield United.
Portugal vs Iceland is a damn boring game, where’s that Iceland from 2016?
Taylor gets by because he's at Celtic. He's mediocre on a good day
3-3
He’s our joint highest scorer in the league, so not all that different for club and country.
good goal from Norway, dodgy keeper though
Amazed Shankland didn't start given he actually scored last game. Or even give Lewis Ferguson a start given he's scored 3 already in Serie A this season.
Steve Clarke has done a brilliant job but he does seem a touch too loyal to some of the long serving squad players.
Anyone in Bosnia's play off quarter basically got a bye to the final/competition. They have basically chucked 2023. 
Old or retired. No good CBs, no good full back, no good MC, no good keeper. Decent wingers, strikers and 10s but they're not allowed to play their game.
Best player isn't allowed to play and the previous best player got taken out of football for 2 years.
Previous manager had the 2nd worst record in the history of the NT. Basically all the managers since the WC have been afraid to transition the squad so now you have a bunch of players starting who have never started before and many of the are around 20 years old.
Iceland almost scored
Which isn’t hard when you have attackers that can’t score…
He’s scored the same amount of league goals as Maddison, Odegaard and Foden.
They can afford to score less goals as they have attackers that score goals. Bruno is obviously our most important player. Was just saying it seems like his all round game is better for Portugal.
I don’t know what your first sentence means. They could score more goals but don’t bother because their team doesn’t need them to?
I’m not really disagreeing with you anyway. I just think that, this season, Bruno’s goals for his club are being kind of ignored while everyone is so pissed off with the team and making him one of the main scapegoats. Which is wrong because he’s actually been quite prolific for the position he plays. For his club and for his country.
So Pot 1 for the main draw is basically done:
It will contain Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium and England*
(*not definitive yet, but 99,9% chance)

(*not definitive yet, but 99,9% chance)
Ye you’re probably right to be fair… it’s probably because of how poor we’re playing as a team that we forget how good and important he is. I’m one of Bruno’s biggest fans btw and always defend him. I wasn’t criticising him in anyway, I just thought he performed better for country.
It is a very small sample size. Last season he definitely struggled for goals. And you’re right about him generally performing better for his country than for his club. A player like him needs a solid midfield platform behind him to do his thing. Which is, depressingly, the opposite of what we have.
how are they in the play off despite finishing 5thAnyone in Bosnia's play off quarter basically got a bye to the final/competition. They have basically chucked 2023.
Won their nations league group I think.
Iceland will most likely go to playoff for Euro as well.
Big game player Lukaku has ruthlessly swept Azerbaijan aside.
Joint-seventh highest scorer in international football's history apparently
scored more than Pele, R9, Romario, Batistuta, Suarez etc. thank to the magical Euro qualifiers, the biggest joke in international football..Joint-seventh highest scorer in international football's history apparently
McT didnt score. Useless bastard.
Those 2 teams would be of a higher standard than the countries I mentioned.
FCK is a much much better team then either of those three.
Still nowhere near the quality that we should be though. We should be beating them easily.
Feels weird and a bit billy big bollocks to say as a Scotland fan I'm disappointed with that end to the campaign considering we lost only one game throughout all of the qualifiers but I am. Those last two games showcased the best and the worst of this Clarke side and still makes me nervy going into a tournament. The best of us has an excellent opportunity to get to the knockouts but the worst of us can do what happened at the last Euros.
In the past it was more the other way round, he was scoring for fun for Sporting and then us whilst not clicking internationally, playing perhaps in the shadow of Ronaldo. It's since he's been less prolific at club level in the last 2 1/2 seasons that he's been more prolific at international, possibly helped by playing alongside Ronaldo here for a period. Just a shame that Ronaldo didn't have the legs anymore to be as much of an impact for us
Why? Did something change? Is the Dentist still in charge? I've always had the impression that Iceland isn't a money making team and they play just for the love of the game.
Both Kazakhstan and Moldova could directly qualify today if they secure away wins vs. Slovenia and Czechia.
I hope at least one of them can pull it off. Will be a big slap in the face for the "Minnows should have a pre-qualifier before competing with the elite" brigade.

The dentist "Heimir Hallgrímsson" went from being an Iceland coach after the World Cup in Russia 2018. He went to Qatar after that and managed Al Arabi until 2021. Last year he was hired as Jamaica coach and is still there.
I’m confident they’ll finish bottom of their group in Germany. Sometimes it feels like the more fans and media want Clarke to pick a certain player the more stubborn he’ll be about it. I think that was shown with keeping Shankland on the bench and bringing Dykes on, after starting Jacob Brown who was clearly way out of his depth. Zander Clark and Taylor surely must be kept away from the side at all times too, they’re absolute bombscares.
Sorry, but that was a stonewall penalty
That looked a penalty
Fffff lucky boy
