  • Wales 4-1 up now
  • Wales currently 2-1 up over North Macedonia

    Doesnt really matter in some ways as both teams are already in the Play-Offs, the only downside is the loser get in via. the Nations League route, so will be in Pot 4 at best, whereas I imagine Wales could end up being in one of the two seeded pots if they finish second in the Group. 
    Qualifying via the Nations League means a 1 in 4 chance of the first playoff game being Italy away. That's worth trying to avoid.
    Macedonia have got no reason to fear that.

    Macedonia knocked Italy out of Qualification for the 2022 World Cup as well

    Robertsons foot is on the line so if they judge it a foul it has to be a pen

    Looked outside the area to me. Denmark have a player called hjbhjbhjbhjb

    Seems silly if so, surely has to be the other way around

    Why? The line counts as the box, it's why Brentford got a pen v Liverpool too

    Oh dont argue about the line, agree with that.

    But surely the attacker has to be in the box though is my point, he was a foot outside of it.

    Turkey score against Spain. Means England will be the only team to qualify without conceding.
    Turkey have made it 1-2 now, so Switzerland now have the second best defensive record having conceded just the once.

    Edit: Its 2-2 as I post that

    Maybe, the line thing has to be consistent across multiple rules though, the goalline is part of the pitch, have to be behind the D for a penalty, the ball can be on the line of the quadrant for corners etc.

    Wow. Two braindead yellow cards. 

    On second viewing, the second one was harsh, but just as with Kayne Ramsay, you don't give the ref a chance to send you off.

    lol!... What an idiot!! - Denmark were in complete control, even had he let him go, and there was cover

    Edit: I get what the Commentators mean about him being unlucky, but thats the risk you take when you're on a booking, especially when the first Yellow Card was for such a cynical foul
  • Referee needs to get a grip, and the Scotland players need to stop touching the Danish lads.

    That latest foul in the box is clear what Denmark's tactics are... Oh and another foul their way as a I type this

    Should second yellows, leading to a red, go to VAR? A straight red would and in this case that could be the most crucial decision of the game. For me it was never a foul, barely any contact at all.

    No... Because what if that was the first Yellow, and the cynical foul was the second Yellow?

    It would still be a Red Card

    Austria have equalised against Bosnia, so return to the top of their Group.

    Wales now 6-1 up over Macedonia...

    I had thought that. So do we look at all yellows then? I wouldn’t. But I still think all second yellows should be because opposition players know you are on a card and so try it on in an attempt to get you sent off. Not saying that is what McGinn did but it happens a lot or, as in this case, the ref gets it wrong and there is so much at stake then why not? FWIW I hate VAR and would scrap it entirely but if it’s being used then use it for contentious decisions.

    Awful defending from Scotland 
  • There is still going to about ten mins of injury time at this rate, after the penalty and red card
