There were a few.

Tackles, Balogun got in a bit of a scrap at one point with a big suitor.

But I think if they'd shown that sort of energy the whole game, maybe they could have got something out of it.

But, you know, they went two down quite early and it just felt a bit dead.

But, you know, with three points on the board, they've got a really good chance still of getting through to the knockout.

So, you know, it wasn't a disaster.

Well, the referee we should mention.

Yes.

There was a 1990s video game called Kick Off 2, which had 24 refs and there was one in it that was incredibly lenient.

And if you ever got him and you realised you could just...

get away with anything and basically he was the ref for today because for both teams to be fair but the ref let everything go and the like you say the McGinn foul was a penalty yeah it was he he gets like barged over I'm not sure it was what I'm not sure it was okay I think there wasn't contact but where I think there was contact was on Scott McTominay later on interesting I didn't think there was enough on McTominay for that one but I thought with McGinn stepped across him bumped his hip

I was a bit disappointed with McTominay today.

He kept getting in the way of other players.

Cristiano McTominay.

Yeah, there was a shot near the end where he had a shot, it was all right, but he could have laid it back, I think.

And it's understandable.

He's a great player who's been in great form, but he felt like he was trying to do too much.

I mean, really, it's not a disaster for Scotland in this format.

They escaped this game 1-0, which means their goal difference is back to zero.

And our calculations, in association with the machines that we have working for us at The Athletic, even a goal difference of minus two...
