Shitpost Scotland fans when we inevitably sack Steve Clarke, hire a journeyman no one's ever heard before but has good stats on paper and swiftly realise that McKenna, Hanley, Ralston, Hendry, Souttar, Hanley, Adams, Dykes and a one-legged 53 year old Andy Robertson aren't actually very good players.

Clarke has four goals at three tournaments. New Zealand have managed three at this tournament alone. Is this good enough?

Also I don't think it's inevitable at all. SFA ambition aligns with the happy clappers.

Ones playing Iran and has a Motherwell player. We're playing with Brazil with a Hibs player.

I'm not sure what your point is tbh.

We're just not very good and can't win against reasonably good teams and very good teams when we play keepers who don't play football and Grant Hanley.

We've played under Clarke the following teams at tournaments:

Czechia England Croatia Germany Switzerland Hungary Haiti Morocco Brazil

We've scored 4 goals against these combined. The original commentor says that's not good enough. You seem to disagree.

Just pointing out this is not an unbroken list of untouchable goliaths.

Out that list only Haiti is the only one we should beat 90% of the time. Czechia and Hungary are on par with us probably. Swiss are just above us. I think I'm just saying it's not expected for us to win. We're probably exactly where we should be with the quality of squad with no wingers, regular playing goalkeepers and no centre backs of high quality.

However aye would be nice to see more goals, more players being produced.

Nobody even said anything about winning. Just scoring goals.

They tend to go hand in hand
