Yeah, I think we made it hard work for ourselves.
I didn't think we kicked the ball as well as we did.
I thought we turned it over and we could have been better with the ball, but defensively, magnificent, you know, clean sheet.
First win in a World Cup for a long, long time and performance we can improve, but the most important thing was about winning and we've done that.
No, listen, it's a brilliant, well-worked goal.
You know, Handlick was a lovely ball in the channel, shaped ball in behind for Shea Adams.
Something that you need, especially when you're playing against a team 4-4-2, you need runners in behind.
Lovely first touch, sets Garen Doak, and then he plays it on to, puts it across into the box and goes on the outside.
Shea Adams has his shot deflected, good save from the goalkeeper, and McGinn...
does what all other opposite side wingers does, comes in the pitch and scruffs it into the net and you're delighted because it's a scrappy goal, but it's a goal that you take and that's a brilliant result and a brilliant performance for the amount of pressure that was on these lads tonight.
Yeah, it's a lovely ball in, it's a great header from the striker.
Lucky for us it didn't go on target, but it happens in the game, it's international football, you know, you're not going to dominate for 90 minutes and you have to be resilient, you have to be, you know, really well organised.
I thought we were defensively really strong, hand-laying in Hendry, but no, it was a performance that,
things to work on but again most important thing to keep talking about is winning football matches and this will give the lads a lot of lift and it's always nice to see Scotland at the top of a group yeah I mean there's a lot of people taking photos of the league when it came up in the pub can we just
yeah no i thought i thought they i thought they were they played extremely well i thought they were really aggressive intent and what they were looking for they were much better tonight than they were against new zealand in a friendly they got battled four nil um and i thought the goalkeeper produced some moments um tonight as well where in that new zealand game i thought he might be a bit of a weak link but um no he they they done well tonight and that's a i probably
A big performance for them.
Obviously they are ranked 83rd or 84th in the world.
We are 40 plus in the world.
