Think a lot depends on the defence. Apparently conceded in 9 in a row prior to this game and even here look slightly vulnerable.

I could see them shocking a second tier side eg Netherlands but not one of the proper big boys.

Draw is nice for them though, won't play any of the big boys until at least QF. Even then there's only one potential group winner though it's likely to be Spain.

Yeah Australia had two chances that would be sitters to most sides.
 
Beeb showing the blocking off for second goal, I thought that was something they were looking to clamp down on, or is that next season?
 
Maybe. I don't rate Belgium at all really, had their chance and ****ed it.

Reckon the QF will definitely be Spain though if they win their group which they should. Don't see any of 3 second placed teams in that section beating them.

There's going to be some rubbish R32 games tbf looking at it.

At least there'll be a vague sense of peril though.
 
Morocco are decent but they are having to put in like 10% effort here.

Scotland are honking.

Yeah proper mismatch so far. Could easily be 2/3 down.

Just need to keep it as 1 as long as possible and then go for it last 15. Though arguably a 1-0 isn't terrible for them.
 
As expected, Dykes has been a disaster so far. Not many managers other than Clarke would have gone for him ahead of Shankland, Hirst and Stewart (I wouldn't have even picked him in the squad ahead of McBurnie).
