    I agree, maybe a chance of a point against them but no chance against the Swiss.

    That's how I see it.

    Really can't see you getting 4 points.

    Canny finish. Hungary like to chase everything down but they haven't got the defence sorted.

    Aebischer has looked good this half. Was a lovely pass for the opener as well.

    Genuinely never heard of him but makes sense he’s in that Bologna team

    Fucking hell proper punditry sixth string here. I wonder if they level with them and say you're only getting the shit games, or whether they dangle promotion to the games people actually watch.

    Switzerland winning by 2 or 3 sets up Scotland fairly well. Blind faith and all that but you’d imagine Germany batter Hungary midweek so Scotland could potentially be playing a team with fuck all to play for. Obviously that doesn’t take Switzerland battering Scotland into account but you’d imagine they wouldn’t be totally against a draw

    Why would Hungary have fuck all to play for in that scenario? A win against Scotland could still see them through.

    If they’re on 0 points going into the final game they’ll have a decent idea as to whether or not 3 points and presumably negative goal difference will go through. I think all the teams going through will be on 4 points based off the groups

    You're the first group to play so they will go for the 3 points in the off-chance it's enough. In 2016 and 2020, three teams went through on 3 points for what it's worth. Obviously a big negative goal difference would make it unlikely, but it's not nothing to play for.

    Hungary's response has been very good in the second half so far.

    I haven't watched much of Williams and Yamal admittedly but they have no one better?

    Especially Yamal who I thought was just hyped because BARCA MATE.

    Never seen much of him but he looks insanely one footed so far.

    Hoping for some good process from the VAR today.

    Was it the last world cup or the last euros where Spain spannered someone in the opening game and then basically lost every game thereafter?

    7-0 against Korea and then a point against Germany and a defeat to Japan. Went out to Morocco on penalties in the last 16.

    I though Modric retired from international Football at the last World Cup? I'm sure they made a big song and dance of it.

    Yamal really should be playing on the left as a proper winger all the time, rather than on the right as the modern inverted winger shite.

    I'm really glad Lee Dixon keeps reminding us that Yamal is 16.

    It's a stupid challenge from Rodri. Just let it go, it changes nothing.
