Hasn't Beckham heard of using Sun protection, as red as a beetroot.

2 calamitous goals killed us here.

Feeling pretty shitty about it all right now. Far from the glorious failure we normally specialise in, very little glorious in these three games.

Just a lack of quality all over.

Wow South Africa surprise Korea with a win and leap ahead of them on head to head.

Canada vs South Africa in Rd of 32 in Los Angeles.

Probably a better match up for us to Korea in Los Angeles which would have basically been an away game given the Korean population in LA.

Don't want to look past SA but definitely feel like a good chance to get to the last 16 which would be viewed as a huge success. Maybe gives us a better chance of getting Davies back in some capacity.

Can’t see it happening now, Scotland will be going home, and probably deservedly so

The South Africa result definitely didn’t help

South Africa's result is a bit of a killer for Scotland there

The young lad from Bosnia looks some player. Alajbegovic. 6ft1, 18 plays for Salzburg. Good job we don't have a good young right winger on the books.

As much as I love them, scoring one deflected goal in three games shouldn't get you through to the next round

Still some hope for Scotland despite the mood. Need four of the below to happen:

Group D: Australia beat Paraguay by 2 or more goals (Or Paraguay beat Australia 4-0+)
Group E: Ecuador don't beat Germany & Curacao don't beat Ivory Coast
Group F: Fucked unless Sweden get beat by 4 goals by Japan
Group G: Egypt beat Iran
Group H: Spain beat Uruguay
Group I: Iraq win (less than 3-0) or draw against Senegal
Group J: Austria beat Algeria by 2 or more goals (Or Algeria beat Austria 4-0+)
Group K: Uzbekistan win (less than 4-0) or draw against DR Congo
Group L: Fucked unless Croatia get beat by 3 goals agianst Panama

I think Group E, G & H scenarios all look very possible.
Group D, J & K wouldn't be crazy.
Forget about Group F, I & L

What’s the point in qualifying for these tournaments if you’re going to approach them the way Scotland have?

They’ve been an awful watch in every one they’ve qualified for.

Surely massive pressure on Steve Clarke now?

Doak, mctomiany, Ferguson, mcginn. That’s a very good midfield that can play a lot better than what they’ve showed.
