In all seriousness, Scotland are so good at losing dramatically after leaving everything on the pitch. It’s genuinely amazing how utterly predictable they are at it over and over again. It would be a genuine nightmare to be a Scottish supporter. The hope of winning inevitably being pulled away at the last minute time and time again would be sickening to constantly experience.

[@garymooney2580]

No way mate the player quality is considerably better in this squad than any Craig Burley played in for the national team... and thats no hate against the man. Fondly remembering his goal vs Norway in France 98

[@faddy24]

Well I half agree with you, it's better than he seems to think but we have a lack of quality in both strikers and centre halves. Also Gunn in goals doesn't really convince me either. In the other positions there is quality and some depth.

Last polish win at hampden 1965 - my father was 4.

wasn't Scotland that not long ago beaten spain that won euros? How that happenend?

[@RichieYoung-q7c]

Just can't score why Shankland doesn't start I don't know why. Need a leader at the back

[@RichieYoung-q7c]

Shankland should be starting

Last time Poland has good national team in football in year 1982. .

[@TheSavvy70]

Burley and nicol just talk dross. Scotland played well and there are younger talents available.

Craig Burley doenst have a clue about Scotland now.. doenst have a clue

A decade? Lol maybe a good 4 years

[@beqer9281]

Quarterfinals in the 2016 Euro. Poland would absolutely crash us with that performance.

[@arminiuszmazowszanin2670]

Poland was good but never great. Now we are very average at best. i'm surprised we beat scotland on their land with average performance. Not long ago spain lost there.

@@arminiuszmazowszanin2670 You should go to study football history. In 70's and 80's we were top nation in international football. Now we are "only" decent

[@tjwhisenhunt1089]

@@arminiuszmazowszanin2670how are u surprised. Sure it’s been a few decades since Poland won a Hampden park but they’ve also never lost their in their entire history. Poland were easily the favorites in this matchup in terms of h2h and quality within both squads

this is the team that is suppose to be better than the usmnt??

You almost won it, Poland played very poorly, much worse than at the euros

[@azeca0025]

True. Poland needs an good foreign coach not Polish one. The same Scotland.

[@arminiuszmazowszanin2670]

We always play poorly and many times get decent result.

[@arminiuszmazowszanin2670]

@@azeca0025 we've had foreign coach - fernando santos - he was the worst manager in 21 century - we've had enough. I think present manager will stay for longer.

[@azeca0025]

@@arminiuszmazowszanin2670 Santos was a the worst choice. Guus Hidding, Slaven Bilic, Szewczenko, Pekerman, Bento, Löw are good coaches but Polish PZPN is anti Polish. Michniewicz was the worst.

[@LunaticOGKO]

@@azeca0025good foreign coaches have already teams. No we don’t need any foreign coach we have good one now give him time even players saying he is good. Adam Nawałka was best in our last 20 years he gave us quarterfinal with Portugal and we lose in penalties

What has that to do with the current squad?

he was a midfielder jokes on you lol

My condolences from Poland to Scotland :))) for not being able to win against the dream team from Poland :))) in a sport that has not had any success for 40 years

Loose against Poland, one of the shittest teams along entire Europe..

[@azeca0025]

I agree and i am Polish. Polish players were scared of scoring goals at euros.😂

[@przemysawwojdalski5782]

😂 Scotland the shittest team in the Euro

[@arminiuszmazowszanin2670]

Poland is not one of the shittiest teams - we play poorly in most of games but usually we get the result which shitty teams don't. I think if our players were more brave and focused the result would be 2/3-5 be cause scottish defense was really poor.
