What was the final score of the Scotland vs Haiti match?
Scotland 1, Haiti 0. The full-time score. Scotland have won their first game back at a World Cup for almost three decades. We are top of our World Cup group.
How significant is Scotland's win after decades of absence from the World Cup?
I'm Andrew McLean here at Merchant City Square with Tony Watt and Gordon DL and we are here until 5pm. in the morning can't quite believe I'm saying it but we are here with the reaction and we're going to bring on live callers from the bar people that were joining us watching it going through all the emotions how are you?
I'm fantastic I think every time I've thought about calling in I've been too scared to do it. So I thought, let's get a camera on me and then I'll do it, I guess. That makes more sense.
High pressure. Just do it in person. Yeah, why not? In front of the guys. How do you describe that experience of watching that game?
Well, I mean, you said to yourself, like 30 years, like pretty much since we've been at the World Cup. I'm 28, so I've never actually experienced it. I think I was maybe like three months old when we were last in the World Cup. And it's just amazing to be here, see the atmosphere. I went to Germany. I didn't quite meet you guys in the pub.
What emotions did fans experience during the game?
I knew you were there. I didn't quite see you. but I went over to Germany I was here during the Covid season but it's just so amazing to see the atmosphere be here and just realise that there's a chance that we can you know we have a dream we can live that dream we can do it it's like if you win nine games in a row you win the World Cup it's mental you could do it
What does that do for your belief that Scotland can get out of the group? I know some people wanted to be a big scoreline and people talking about goal difference, but does that matter too much to you? Is it just about being back at a World Cup and Scotland getting a victory?
Right, so I'm not the pessimist that says it's nice to be here, because I've never seen it, so I don't care about being here. I care about trying to actually, you know, compete. And the thing is, you get three points, what is it, 95% chance if you get minus two goal difference? Cool. If we get one more point, we're pretty much out of the group. And like I said, we could squeak. We could do the most horrible football you've ever seen in your life. 0-0. We can get a penalty shootout. We can have a dodgy penalty against somebody. We can get two red cards. People get sent off. We could squeak the worst World Cup you've seen in history.
But we won't care. Do you think Scotland could win the World Cup? Sorry, is that what you're getting at here?
I mean, I'm not stupid. I realise that it would be ridiculous if it happened.
But you think they could? After watching that, do you think? Come on, Tony, let a man dream.
Come on, let a man dream.
I just wanted to hear your alcohol level after this, because after watching that, I hope they go and get a draw with Morocco, but I think Scotland need to get better performances than that to progress to the next round and go again, I think.
100%, because when it comes to where they were playing, I think the thing was for me, In the first half, we were solid defensively, we were good attacking, but the midfield was where we were struggling. And then as soon as we switched and we got better on the midfield, defensive was okay, and attacking we just fell off. But you need to be good across the three, like, thirds of the park to be doing it.
Yeah, but listen, I know what you're saying, right? I think... Look, it's brilliant the fact that we talked to the table. We were all thinking maybe 2-3 tonight to give that little cushion, right? And what Tony's saying, but we're the kind of country, I remember going up against England and everybody in their own patch.
Are you talking about when we won 0-0 at the Euros?
Yeah. And everybody thought that they were going to spank us. And we ended up, we grinded out a 0-0. My big concern was I looked at Morocco and Brazil tonight and I'm thinking, oh, they're top, top teams. But look, at the end of the day, I think the most important thing for us, three points, I've got to be greedy and I'd like another goal or two.
