    I think it’s pronounced as Yonathan rather than Jonathan though. I don’t mind them doing it when it’s correct. Much better than the likes of Paul Merson butchering any surname that has more than 2 syllables

    Oh it probably is to be fair but English blokes trying to pronounce names with a twang that already have an English variant just sounds mad to me.

    Same with James and “Hamez”.
    Eden and “Aydan”.
    Bunch of others too.

    As for Merson, he just butchers everything he does, especially the booze.

    Awful by Ralston.

    Lovely finish from Shakira. His hips don't lie.

    That was a beauty. Some lovely goals already in the tournament. Been a superb opening week or so for the most part.

    So unlucky, would’ve been the team goal of the tournament.

    Scotland on the ropes here. They’ll be very lucky to get to half time level.

    Billy Gilmour's an odd player. Always seems to graft and passes well, but doesn't get much recognition.
    I assume he's doing something wrong somewhere down the line, but I can't really place it.
    Never scores and doesn't get many assists, I guess.

    Neat and tidy player but doesn’t influence the game enough up the top end of the pitch.

    Scottish Lo Celso

    Tierney's a good defender, but he's made out of balsa wood.
    Hope that's not as bad as it looks though, obviously.

    John McGinn leaves one on someone, gets booked and has a little cry about it. Standard.

    The Scotsman on co-comms said he got the ball - did he ****!

    To be fair the Scots have put in a good show. I still think there will be a winner in this one

    How's he missed that? Absolute sitter of a header.

    Much improved from the first game and they're still in it. Hungary aren't ****, though.

    Scotland lose their first match
    Scotland draw their second match
    Scotland need to win their third match if they want to progress

    Why does this sound familiar...?
