17.632 - 46.66 Andrew Maclean

Good evening and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard Scotland's World Cup hopes hang in the balance after a 3-0 defeat to Brazil A performance defined by defensive errors means we need to rely on other teams if we want to progress with Steve Clarke admitting that he thinks we're on our way home I'm Andrew McLean, joining me in the studio are John Spencer and Gordon DL Yes, after a dissettled from last night Andrew, we can reflect on probably a disappointing night I don't know if it's

46.64 - 63.315 Gordon Dalziel

The fact that, look, it's always got to be difficult against Brazil. We know that. But it was in the manner that we lost last night, the position that we're now in, we're hanging about, waiting to the weekend, hoping for a miracle, really, for results to go for us.

0

63.295 - 84.477 Gordon Dalziel

to at least give us an opportunity to get into the knockout stages I watched Steve Clarke after the game very frustrated very angry some of the fans frustrated angry and I'll be interested tonight to hear what they think after the game everything's settled down now and the domestic side Hearts have finally got their new manager in the door

0

84.457 - 91.603 Andrew Maclean

Yeah, they do indeed. Wouter Vranken has been appointed today. Some news coming out of Rangers. Ross McCrory has signed an initial three-year deal.

Chapter 2: What is the current status of Scotland's World Cup hopes?

91.643 - 106.416 Andrew Maclean

Dennis McInnes spoke at Rangers for the first time yesterday. We may get on to those topics later on because I feel we might need a bit of a palate cleanser because most of the show is going to be dominated by last night, John. And I think a 3-0 defeat to Brazil can happen.

0

106.736 - 114.463 Andrew Maclean

But as Gordon said, it's maybe just the manner of the way the goals were conceded and a few other things that happened throughout the game that maybe leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

0

114.443 - 129.313 John Spencer

yeah well as we say we'll probably go over it in the show or we will go over it in the show we'll still get a 27% chance of qualifying until that chance is zero then we can still pray that we're in the hat for the next round I think we've got

0

129.563 - 146.121 John Spencer

a right good chance to get through I know a lot of people said I'm actually no surprised that we're sitting in this position because it was a monster group it was a really really tough ask to go above these two teams but I think we'll get through You've been wrapped up in the World Cup spirit as it is Gordon you've been up at

0

146.101 - 154.461 Andrew Maclean

all hours of the night watching games. Now, these games that you had no vested interest in, you're going to have a vested interest now. There's a lot of results we need to hope for.

154.622 - 156.687 Gordon Dalziel

Yeah, you're right.

Chapter 3: How did fans react to the performance against Brazil?

157.108 - 178.85 Gordon Dalziel

I wish I had the confidence that John's got. I'm not too sure even when I see the Scotland manager. I know it was right after the game, but when he was asked the question, the first thing he said is, we're going home. So he's not as confident as John either. But look, we can only sit and keep our fingers crossed and hope for the very, very best.

0

179.652 - 185.001 Gordon Dalziel

It would take a lot of things to go for us to get through of that, there's no doubt.

0

184.981 - 209.622 Andrew Maclean

but until John's quite rightly said it's down to that zero percent then we've just got to keep hoping right let's hear from you 01419511025 on the phones we have a lot to get through we are going to reflect on the game last night what about the bigger picture just everything really what about the team selection what did you think of the defensive mistakes do you still think Scotland have a

0

209.602 - 226.48 Andrew Maclean

getting through do you think we are doomed and we are on our way back home lots to pick through so 014 1951 1025 on the phones we'll try and look at some of the domestic stories doing the rounds a bit later on but I think this show is going to be dominated by all things Scotland against Brazil I

226.46 - 239.552 Andrew Maclean

I think we can go live to Miami, where Gabriel Antoniazzi has been joining us on a nightly basis, giving us the update from here. And now, Gabriel, you're in a sort of awkward period now where you're waiting in Miami to see what's going to happen over the next couple of days.

Chapter 4: What were the key issues highlighted by the panel regarding Scotland's gameplay?

240.893 - 265.96 Gabriel Antoniazzi

Yeah, Andrew, good afternoon from South Beach, Miami, here at Finnegan's Way, where we, like many members of the Tartan Army, are stuck in purgatory until the weekend. Could be worse places to be stuck, keep in mind, but what a deflating day it is. It really does feel like the party is finally over here. Yes, Scotland can still qualify for the knockout stages if results do go our way.

0

266.06 - 288.247 Gabriel Antoniazzi

As I say, the contrast between the last two weeks up in Boston, then down here in Miami and this morning and this afternoon. It's something really to behold. Spoke to fans after the game at the stadium. We were hearing from our colleagues who were also at the fan zone and there was still a little bit of hope straight after the full-time whistle that we were still in a decent position.

0

288.267 - 304.105 Gabriel Antoniazzi

But I think that South Africa result in Group A, the surprising victory for them, has really kind of been a big, big blow to hopes and everyone is now expecting to be flying back to Scotland over the weekend. And fans I've been speaking to today,

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Steve Clarke's management style?

304.085 - 320.794 Gabriel Antoniazzi

telling me that number one, we don't deserve to go through with our performances across the three games, just scoring one goal against Haiti and the number of defensive errors we've had as well. And number two, if we do get through, they fear for what could be a massacre.

0

320.774 - 344.071 Gabriel Antoniazzi

In the last 32, if it's Mexico in Mexico City or back to Boston to face the Germans, given the way we have played, you know, what could happen? Would it just be another hammering? And now, of course, if Steve Clark's side do manage to go through, you would expect and I'm sure it very much would be party back on and the Tartan army would follow in their thousands.

0

344.091 - 348.638 Gabriel Antoniazzi

As I say, this morning, this afternoon here in Miami, it feels like the dream has died.

0

349.31 - 366.814 Andrew Maclean

Yeah, if you do two weeks of partying, Gordon DL, there's going to be a hangover at some point. And I think today is the ultimate hangover day for the tartan army over in Miami because, as Gabriel said, it almost does feel to a lot of people like this is the end. We looked at the percentages.

0

366.894 - 373.183 Andrew Maclean

I think it's maybe about a 25% chance that Scotland have of progressing of all the teams that are sitting in third place at the moment.

Chapter 6: How does the panel assess Scotland's chances of qualifying for the knockout stages?

373.263 - 384.661 Andrew Maclean

I think that's the second lowest percentage. and there's quite a distance between Scotland and the rest of the team, so there's a lot we need, but you can see why there is that pessimism from so many Scotland fans that many think it is going to be the end.

0

384.681 - 397.202 Gordon Dalziel

Yeah, it's a real funny situation Scotland fans are in, and the Scotland team as well, because you're basically, you're just hanging about for a couple of days to see if that miracle can happen.

0

397.562 - 398.824 Andrew Maclean

I've not got much sympathy.

0

399.145 - 420.869 Gordon Dalziel

No. I'm hanging about in Miami. It's not too bad, but... I know, but... But once again, if you're out of the tournament, I think the Scottish fans, especially with the party and the amount of money that was spent as well, John, would be quite happy to say, right, okay, let's go. But to sit there and have another two days, yes, brilliant in Miami, the weather, everything about it.

0

421.47 - 426.535 Gordon Dalziel

But it's just the waiting, anticipating to see, are we coming home at the weekend?

Chapter 7: What are the latest updates on Derek McInnes as Rangers manager?

427.136 - 428.657 Gordon Dalziel

The travel plans as well.

0

428.998 - 450.488 John Spencer

Are we being unrealistic? Because I think if you look at the two teams that top the group, they're in the top seven best teams in the world. And I think that I can get the euphoria of the fans. They go over there and everybody's full of hope. And you've seen it all over social media. It was like, you know what? If we beat Haiti, we've got an unbelievable chance.

0

450.508 - 456.294 John Spencer

Because what we'll just do is we'll just take a point off Morocco. And then if we get beat with Brazil, we'll be all right because we'll get in the next round.

Chapter 8: What are the expectations for Hearts' new head coach Wouter Vrancken?

456.455 - 469.841 John Spencer

And it's like, guys... I don't want to say people. I think Steve used the word uneducated. I think it's been unrealistic. I think for me, I'm not too down about it because I expected this to be in this situation because they two teams are world-class.

0

469.861 - 491.051 Gordon Dalziel

I think the problem is, and it heaps pressure on Steve Clarke as well. I know what you're saying. You know what I mean? You're coming up against... These two teams will probably go deep into the tournament, right? I think Morocco certainly will. But... But you're looking at other games in the World Cup and there's teams like Ghana going up again. And now you're talking about where they're ranked.

0

491.672 - 507.619 Gordon Dalziel

Ghana went up against England and people fancy England to get to semi-finals. Maybe even some people fancy them to get to the final. So, you know, there's results out there. Cape Verde, for instance. Nobody expected them to do well.

0

507.639 - 527.479 John Spencer

Do you think it's got something to do with the weather? because I believe that the stat is no European team has ever won a World Cup in that part of the world that's what I read don't know if it's fake news but that's what I read so I'm going to throw that stat but I will say you're no better than anybody you've Harry Kane came out the other day with a statement said that during the game

0

527.543 - 545.343 John Spencer

he looked down at his legs and he was like, these things just ain't doing what I'm asking them to do. Now, I've played in Tampa before, early in my MLS career, and believe me, there is times where you make one or two runs and your body shuts down. The humidity and the heat is exhausting. And this is what I don't think people are understanding.

545.383 - 563.811 John Spencer

I mentioned that to a couple of guys in different podcasts. When you go down to play in South Florida... the energy and life is going to get sucked out of you. You want to possess the ball, you're going to have to be able to move, constantly moving, creating new angles to receive. There was times when Boy Henry was driving up the pitch through the middle and people were standing watching him.

563.971 - 574.729 Gordon Dalziel

Well, John, sorry to interrupt, right? I know what you're saying there, right? So that baffles me a lot more now. Listen to you explain that. You've witnessed it, right?

574.709 - 593.089 Gordon Dalziel

we sat last night and Steve Clarke made a substitution at half time a forced one with Tierney coming on for Robertson his next one wasn't to what 81st minute of the game was when he made a double change so you'd think surely if you felt the conditions were affecting the players he maybe would have changed things earlier that's a

593.069 - 608.547 Andrew Maclean

100%. It's one of many things that I think we're going to get through over the course of tonight. We are going to go to the phones and get the opinion of some supporters out there just before we do that. All this week on Clyde One Super Scoreboard, we're giving away summer sizzler tickets to Air Racecourse. They're hosting the family Sunday race day on Sunday, the 5th of July.
