It's now harder not to qualify for the Euros than it is to get there, which makes all the wank about Scotland finally making a tournament all the more lol.

Yep, it's a mess and one that goes against all logic in purposely allowing qualification spots for weaker teams. I have no motivation whatsoever to watch any of it (obviously understand if people watch their own team but I won't stand for anything beyond that).
Nations league is brilliant. Probably isn’t as good if you support a team that always qualifies, but for countries like Finland it’s great.
Decent games with something to play for and an outside chance for qualifying. I think this campaign is the only time you have a chance of qualifying from the D group, and probably purely to get votes as someone said.
I'd say it's even better for the bigger nations because they're not wasting 9 months battering the likes of Moldova.
I'm a twit
What a very Scotland thing to do.
That's what you get for celebrating a 0-0 with Israel like you've just beaten West Germany 12-0 in a World Cup semi.
I'm a twit
Can they not naturalise someone like James Tavernier?
Free header from a corner. And now all hopes pin on Ollie mcburnie up front.
Yeah I've got the live text on for it and it all sounded like you were pretty much in control.
Woah. North Macedonia are going to the Euros.
That is so typically Scotland. Uphill now.
Looked absolutely in control with dykes up top and mcginn and jack in midfield.
Have reverted to typical Scotland since he’s come off. Horrendous subs.
I could take the Nation League bollocks, I could take desperately arranging your neighbours to bus it down to Wembley for a friendly after your intial opponents pulled out because there's a fucking pandemic going on and you stand to lose ££££ but Henderson for Pope at HT against the most toothless side in world football has sent me. I'm this close to strapping a nailbomb to myself and heading down to St George's Park.
Looks like two penalty shoot-outs coming up with a 5 minute delay between them.
What the fuck is Stuart Armstrong doing on the Scotland bench? Has he lost a limb? If so, let me ask again, what the sweet fuck is Stuart Armstrong doing on the Scotland bench?
Northern Irish hearts broken.
Has this bloke who commentates on Scotland/Scottish football for Sky (and has done for about 65 years) ever considered whether maybe he is the problem.
Robertson to hit it over
That's a top quality penalty from McTominay.
Ridiculous penalties so far.
Fulham players on penalties...
That was quite predictable.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH mon.
Tournament to get cancelled then, yeah? Because THAT would be the most Scotland thing to happen.
Good set of penalties though for the most part.
Always an absolute delight to see Serbia lose, a perennially horrible bunch of pricks.
Now I can see why Giggles hates the Slavic twats.
That was a fantastic save.
Scotland in a tournament
Actually, would that have been Serbia v Croatia in our group? Now I'm slightly regretting it.
Croatia-Scotland-Czech Republic all at Wembley has serious potential for Southgate's bloodsoaked waistcoat to be all that's left of him after a results-based lynching.
Can you not still squeeze through in 3rd these days?
Now that the Irish teams are both out we should scrap the ridiculous venue system and let them co-host the whole thing.
Be an interesting 8 stadiums.
Croke Park
Lansdowne Road
Windsor Park
...
Craggy Island Stadium?
At least there would be plenty of tea on offer.
Biscuit or cake.
I've got a lot of time for 37-year-old Goran Pandev scoring the goal to take Macedonia to their first ever tournament and then breaking into tears at the final whistle. What a man.
Croke Park most likely wouldn’t be available for anything like that down the road so you’d have Lansdowne, Windsor, and two rugby stadiums if they could get them. NI should do a future bid with Scotland.
Hopefully 2021 ends up in Russia or something. The seats in the Aviva are too new to risk the English over.
22 years. The in laws are delighted.
I remember their World Cup opener vs Brazil so clearly. Cesar Sampaio headed in the opener, John Collins scored a penalty for 1-1. Brazil were a bit shit and then won with the Boyd og. Tosh McKinlay came off the bench late but this did not faze Cafu.
You almost want the kung flu to linger around so none of them can travel.
