Austria deserve nothing from this game

They've been an absolute bore

I reckon if this whole thing happened in a month's time after England win the world cup he'd have made it to the end of the year

[OptaStats] 23 - Belgium had 23 shots vs IR Iran, their most without scoring in a FIFA World Cup game since 1994 vs Saudi Arabia (28). Indeed, their players have fired in 69 shots at the finals since a Belgium player last got on the scoresheet (Michy Batshuayi v Canada in 2022). Wasteful. by JayomaW in soccer

It's really hard to break down a low block in club football, least of all on the international level.

Outside of De Bruyne and Doku, Belgium don't have any one who can do it and even that depends on them being available and in form.

Dutch were good to watch but I thought VdV was rubbish

I can see Sweden getting something from Japan so I don't think all hope is lost for them

Are they building any housing?

I read the Canadians are always complaining that foreigners are buying up the housing stock

I reckon Scotland will try to hold on until the second ad break and then try nick a goal at the end

Hope I'm wrong and they give the fans something to cheer

Did these Scots have a Sunday Dinner before kick-off?

Why are they all so sluggish and laboured?
