08/06/1986 Scotland v West Germany

[@stevenrogers8939]

I was 12 and remember most matches. One of the best world cops ever.

[@ianwyj1]

A most memorable Scotland kit. I think I remember some footy magazine suggest the only things missings would be two pistols on either side of the band on the shorts.

[@MuzzJoob]

My first world cup on tv ! The best one - RIP D1EGO

[@joelfernandez2333]

One of my favorite World Cup football game. Football was awesome back then not like the football of today. Football now is totally shit!

[@LMR72]

So true...

[@alanprior7650]

Rainbow kits,taking a knee,virtue signaling more important than winning games (according to England manager Southgate)...f away off!!! Give me pre-2000 fitba anytime!

[@hermosillo11]

Incredible ball skill by Strachan.

[@ArmyofLove]

This is a really good performance by Scotland

[@johneyton211]

I was at the game in Queretaro. Great attempt by Scotland. I took photo of Gordon Strachan's celebration after his goal. In Paris at I was at WC98 opener against Brazil. Another good Scotland performance. After the game I met Gordon Strachan...and showed him the photo. He said "Can I have that photo?' A polite No...was the answer.

[@xx-mreba-xx4051]

Should have copied it as a poster

[@rjjcms1]

Should have got a copy made from the negative,so long as you kept it. I like the way he's a little too wee to jump the advertising hoarding so settles for putting a leg up.

[@marialuisaabelleiranovas999]

That was a weird celebration. I remember my brother and me loah that day at the little man

[@alanprior7650]

I'm the son of an Aberdonian and got to shake hands with him at Bournemouth University...what a player!

[@metalmadsen]

I was a ten year old dane back then Cheering for Scotland. I always like that country, and you off course one is behind who ever plays the germans 😄

[@stephanesube727]

Scotland was very strong in 1978, unfortunately the Scottish players liked the whiskey too much. a waste, look at their match against holland.

[@flankspeed]

The Danes played such good football in 86 too 👍

[@robmcrob2091]

I remember you squeazing past us which meant we had to beat Germany. I think you had at least one Laudrup playing and Jan Mølby and it was quite a contest.

[@robmcrob2091]

Scotland had a pretty good team but an up and at em attitude that left them constantly exposed at the back. Lethal against a side like Germany.

[@patrickmclaughlin8424]

Still the best world cup I've seen

Just about to write " this was the last time Scotland had a team that could mix it with the best". Then I looked at the German goals!! comic book defending

[@EdgarMendoza-sv6jh]

Gordon Stracham what a player!! But Germany... Always win 😕

[@Valhalla88888]

Germany had the best players for a few decades but Scotland also had a few good players should have been a draw!

[@steveN111333]

Where was Alan Hansen ? A double winning captain with Liverpool that year !!

[@thomas-fq1wi]

Arrogant Ferguson took mcleish and Miller and dalgleish who got us there was so disgusted he said he was injured and pulled out, he also refused to play nicholas and mcavennie together who were the top two strikers in Europe just because the press did a wee gunslinger story at el Paso , the headline are these the men to shoot down Denmark, prick Ferguson said the press aren't picking the team. Then he left souness out against uruguay the one man you wanted to play again to show who was boss, totally sabotaged any chance through pure ego, mcavennie still says that team with Hansen dalgleish nicholas and mcavennie would have been formidable outfit and you can see what he meant they dominated all three games and had no luck without the main men

[@thomas-fq1wi]

@Hannibal Barca it was the goal that put them 2-1 up , and if you want to mark the voller's elkjears and francescoli's out of the game then take the guy who does regular in the European cup

[@anty1975]

@@thomas-fq1wi Dalglish was 35 years old already I don't know if he could ve helped in Mexican heat, may be as an impact sub. Also Mo Johnston, probaby the best Scottish striker at the time, was dropped from the team for disciplinary reasons. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGq7pYuklst2rbc thats Johnston and Dalglish scoring against Spain in qualifying match

[@charliemedson6534]

Alex Ferguson admitted afterward that he "made a mistake" in not taking him to Mexico.

[@mcharris5200]

Double winning captain omitted because of soon to be ManU manager 'Ferguson's' dislike of Liverpool Fc. Such a shame when you think about it as if the Scots played 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 then who knows with the players mentioned above in the previous posts suggested by some

In world cups Scotland an odd goal but always loose. The players, Souness and Co were highly overrated. At international level they were useless. This was not playing in European Cups were the opposition is pathetic.

[@greglyons2526]

Nonsense they would have walked into most sides in the world.Fact remains SAF was biased towards players in the SPL.Miller and Mcleish should not have started over Hansen or Gillispie,and what about Albiston? plenty of good strikers there too.Germans did better in the heat but the Scots had a load of talent and perhaps the mentality was not right.

[@nickthefox72]

To this day I don’t know how Scotland didn’t get four or five. Germany were so lucky in this game

[@ayazdani88]

nickthefox72 agreed fully. Scotland were very unlucky. Regardless of the outcome, it was a very beautiful game.

[@thesnickeringhound2549]

Usual lack of guile and decisiveness from Scotland in attack. Chance at 4:13 is a case in point. But Malpas passes it too square to Souness who, instead of bursting forward into the box, then had to pull it on to his right foot, reducing the time he had to shoot, and so he snatched at it. Typical. This was criminal defending from Germany twice, and you can bet that if the roles were reversed then Germany would have buried the chance.
