Senegal
Iraq


so out go iraq and scotland then 💔 if scotland had to get knocked out by this games winner i would’ve much preferred it was iraq but sadly that wasn’t the case. iraq have definitely got the potential to do much better in future tournaments, they just need to stop the errors in defensive. i don’t think anybody would have expected them to make it out of the group stage but to have still been in with a shot until their final group game was really impressive considering their opponents. i do think it had a lot to do with senegal playing quite poorly against both norway and france but hey thats not iraqs fault. to get put into that group in just your second ever world cup is a fate nobody should have to endure, and a group that even most teams who have a stronger world cup background wouldn’t want to be in. i have no doubts we’ll see them at another world cup in the future. on scotland now we know we’re out, 28 years since our last world cup, the first in my lifetime. people will see it as another time we’ve failed to make it out of the group stage but honestly seeing those men proudly represent the country i too am so proud to be from is one of the best feelings ever. never gave up in any of our games, even when 3-0 down to brazil. that first win against haiti made me feel a pride i’ve never felt before. even against morocco losing 1-0 we still showed fighting spirit and a grit and determination you can only admire. getting to watch my dad see his country in a world cup again and experience that with him is one of the best memories we have shared together. people may laugh at us now but what we’ve showed in this tournament showed that we aren’t willing to back down and that we have a very strong group of guys who are willing to do anything for the country. i have absolutely no doubt that we won’t need to wait another 28 years to see scotland in another world cup. we will be back.🏴🏴 genuinely started crying writing this ❤️🏴

just seen this through your tweet so beautiful scarlet 🥲 sorry about holland today as well 💔
@olivia Honestly thank you for bringing me back to this after the Netherlands went out cause I needed to reread this ❤️ why is it always Morocco 😭
@scartinelli hakimi ro32 loss we will be there NO MATTER WHAT
Scarlet more like ScarLucas. Get it? Because the review was long?
@harris Rs though they got a bit unfortunate with Morocco and Brazil in the same group, most other pot 2 teams would've been a far easier fixtures. Had they been in any of the host nation groups they all but certainly would've gone through.
@harris Scotland and unfortunate seem to go hand in hand
Great review Scarlet ❤️ This is exactly why I love the world cup seeing how much it means to people :( Wishing Scotland all the best
@raw Same goes for you mate hoping for the best for you
@scartinelli ❤️❤️
Loved reading this ❤️🏴 hopefully Scotland will be able to do more next Euros or in 4 years. Main criticism is just Steve Clarke not using the star players in their strengths which is unfortunate
@carbonfiverr thanks man! steve clarke needs to either suddenly change his whole mindset on star players or he needs to go. he’s done great things for the country but i don’t think he can take up the step further to making it out the groups unfortunately
@scartinelli Need someone with a bit more ambition and the understanding that national team football is really just building around the stars of your team. I really hope they do better next tournament, all the Scots deserve that
@carbonfiverr so do i man seeing us in a world cup just makes me want it more. fully in for the netherlands and england now though let’s go
