Hojbjerg scored the 2nd as Denmark saw off 9-man Switzerland last night:

Very well taken. Doesn't have a touch like a Greenwood, apparently.

Xhaka was sent off for a 2nd yellow for clogging our former player, which I'm sure is a coincidence:

The first red was an absolute travesty of a decision, though:

How can anyone who has any idea about the game watch that and come to that decision?
Maybe without VAR, but with it? Ludicrous. Verging on the suspicious, frankly.

"Scotland's capacity for self-sabotage delivers fresh horror"! <laugh> Harsh, but possibly fair.
Probably doesn't help that the author is called Tom English.
Something tells me it's the first time that Scotland have had 2 Napoli players score for them.

I'm a huge fan of Tom English. The quality of his writing combined with the dour Sottish sense of humour makes him an enjoyable read.

In stark contrast to McNulty, whose quality of writing kills brain cells.

I thought the Scots were the better team in the first half and very unlucky to go 2 down. Szymanski was the Polish hero in the first half not Lewandoski. And Zalenski was headed for goal when Hanley clattered him. English might write nicely CK but content is not his strong point it seems.
