Why was there a game in Group D before either of the Group C games?

I have no clue.

Scheduling is bizarre this year.

A, A, B, B, D, C, C so far.
Tomorrow is D, E, E.

Yeah i understood what you meant. Just wondered if there was political reasons. Seems a strange game to have so much niggle.

Maybe they just don’t like Austrians. It’s not that unusual.

Just Uefas weird scheduling. On Wednesday there's a group B game at 15.00 and the two group A games are 18.00 & 21.00

Did anyone else just do a double take when they said Macedonia were brining on Branimir Kostadinov?

 

I rewound it and apparently it’s Thalimir. Thought our one was Bulgarian anyway…

What a save by the former killie keeper! :biggrin:

Wrong end. Former Killie man is Austrian. If you mean the save I’m thinking about.

Austria has a decent amount of Yugoslav refugees and the government have publicly backed Greece in the whole naming thing. It might have something to do with it.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Missed that

Was a header on the edge of the six yard line.    Keeper  has had to react and  stretch, great save.    Wrong keeper, was Macedonian.

Strange. 

I think it could be to do with the fact that Wembley is hosting 8 games so they wanted to get the first one in early to maintain the pitch a bit better?

June: 13th, 18th, 22nd, 26th, 29th
July:  6th, 7th, 11th

All to do with there being 11 host nations and most of them being guaranteed 3 homers in the group stage.

Surprise result for me.    I thought Austria were pish pre tournament.    Macedonia falling to bits.   

Not a surprise result tbh. Austria aren't great but North Macedonia are pish. One lucky result against a poor Germany team made people think they were decent.

I reckon that if North Macedonia had anyone up front with pace, they might well have been in front come the last 10 mins or so. They were the better team for a good chunk of the second half and a number of possible chances went begging because their forwards got outpaced by the Austrian defence running onto through balls.

For the record, 'My Anthem', was sung by Scotland until a certain section of the support, opposed it and we have the current folk song. I never mentioned politics nor do you know my beliefs on this song so please keep your politics to yourself 

I'd be totally for bring back Scotland the Brave - such a rousing tune. I blame Flower of Scotland as being half the reason we need help qualifying - it's a dirge...should've been left for the rugby

You’re braver than me Jonno. I couldn’t put myself through listening to the BBC panel. 

The panel was bad enough but we had to suffer the wummin pitch-side at HT.  What is it with the BBC flooding us with lady pundits?

Did Ukraine fix their top?

Russia were most unhappy.

 

*edit* seems a compromise was found.

They got to keep the outline of the borders of Ukraine (including Crimea) but had to removed the "Glory To The Heroes" slogan.

Both sides claimed victory. In Ukraine's case 'glorious victory'.

It's a real shame leigh Griffiths has his issues.  I'd be a lot happier if he was leading the line tomorrow.

 

I think we all would be.

I think everyone on the planet and Bezos in cyberspace except Slim would be.

 

If not Griffiths then a Robbo, or a McCoist.  A natural predator.
