They got what they deserved. Sorry but they played well enough but tried to dribble when a cutting pass was open, they tried to dribble out of their own box and the management team should have slowed the game down with subs. Defending was dire and once again we see the Levein tactic of having everyone back means there is no out ball so they just come straight back at you.
Ref booked Scotland players for time wasting but refused to book them and missed some dreadful fouls they should have been a card. Still they did fine getting this far I suppose, but they really need to work on passing and the management need to work out how to close a game out.

Well, here's my take on things.
Scotland are out, and yes, they did get what they deserved. They let themselves down big-style in the last 15 or 20 mins of the game against Argentina. And no-one will be more gutted than they are about their last game and some of the errors in the other two games.
There are areas that need improved, particularly defence and some tactics need worked on too.
Kerr and her team will be working together to identify their strengths and weaknesses and improve on them after a well deserved break.
The girls did really well to get to the finals of the World Cup, something that the men haven't managed to do for a considerable time now.
Their commitment to playing well for Scotland and in doing so, raising the profile of the womens' game in this country has been second to none and unquestionable.
I'm very proud of what they've achieved.They've given the nation a lift and in today's current political climate, that can't be a bad thing.

Totally agree with the exception of comparing the men's game to the woman's. Trying to bum up the woman's game because the men have failed to qualify, is like comparing oranges to apples.
They did well and I blame those on the sidelines for failing to manage the last 15 minutes. Time wasting with subs and shoring up where they were obviously struggling meant they gifted the draw. they didn't need to score again and should have used the midfield to cover for the defence by tackling before they got near the back three or four.
Said at the start the keeper is too small and she would have saved one of the goals had she been six inches taller.

I'm not trying to bum up the women - they managed that themselves by qualifying.

Have England been cuffed yet? Canny wait for the tears and snotters.

8pm your time, Jim. I'd really, really like to cheer for our neighbours England but I'm afraid that as America has been so good to me, I have to lend them my support. A real shame.

Oh Boo Hoo they are out, even after a dodgy VAR penalty, ho ho ho. The problem is, we will now have to suffer " this is the team England would have played had they got through" shite.
