Really liked him as a player for us. Another one who left and never really hit the heights again

Thought it was Andrew Ridgeley.

[Patrick Bateman]

Well this is by far the best match so far. Shame it's so late.

[HnycS]

Is there a full eleven of current and former Saints at the World Cup?

Seen so far Larin, Adams, Gunn any others?

[HnycS]

Guess Stewart is also in the Scotland squad if he comes on and scores in the last 15 minutes as Larin did, it will be a huge co-incident.

Haiti v Scotland is like watching 2 champship teams. Should be 2-1. I thought Scotland would walk this easily.

Nice, except with Gunn in goal would be lucky to get out the group stage, as will Scotland 😄.

[St. Ciervo]

So as long as Koeman and Poch can play mid, we have a team.

There are never any easy games at the World Cup. Considering our record in the World Cup (NZ / Costa Rica), a result is all that is required.

Great take from Che Adams for the goal.

Nervous 30 minutes I think

Are we counting academy prospects? Then Musiala 😁

Scotland scrape through and the commentators sound like they're going to ejaculate. It sounded like he said "Scotland have won the World Cup!" - there was probably an "in" after "won" but that's not what it sounded like.

42nd v 83rd in the FIFA rankings.  

The win's the important thing, regardless of how unconvincing. That came from a big deflection in the 28th minute, and a lot of hanging on in that second half.

There's something rather civilised about watching the WC at 5am. Before the world wakes, and obligations kick in.

Aussies doing a great job 2-0 so far, was a cracking 2nd goal as well, turks cannot get past the aussie goalie

Bet there's a few other parents with toddlers/babies watching Turkey v Australia.

Turkey have somehow managed to lose one of the most one sided games I've seen in a while.

[Convict Colony]

Yeah agree but actually enjoyable watching the Aussie fully committed defence and the counter attack for the 2nd goal.

To get the win over Turkey the aussies are in a good spot already in this group with Paraguy and US to come

[SNSUN]

I guess that's probably "shock of the tournament" so far, I had Turkey to beat Australia but there you are.

He's already been at Munich as a young prospect. He's raw but can see him getting better. 

Think Watford will do well to keep hold of him. 

[BARCELONASAINT]

Morocco excellent first half, Scotland awful, Australia masterclass at defending

BBC news on tv and radio this morning also makes it sound like they’ve won the World Cup not just beaten Haiti by 1 goal in a group match.

To be fair I quite like it. If you can’t be patronising towards Scotland then what’s the point of them? Well done you plucky little scamps.

It's not out of the question that they've already qualified for the knockout stages with 1 win due to the shit format of this world cup.
