‘Understated start shows Clarke’s Scotland are back in the game’

As usual, Steve Clarke was talking about the heroic slider, the honesty of his team and the rate of providing a valuable World Cup qualifying point against Denmark in Copenhagen, but so far.

Clarke praises, but is moderate. He approaches these things with doubt. It can smell the swallow in a thousand steps. He greets his players for his efforts and pride, but the perspective is never far away.

He smiled at the beginning of Scotland’s proposal for the first World Cup since 1998.

While he got a score from Parken, he damaged one of the two main competitors in the Scotland group. He said six games in a speed of more than a marathon – they already put Denmark on the back.

Danish people have to go to Greece on Monday and now they will be Underdog. Greece is a developing force that made Scotland 3-0 in Hampden in March before looking at Bulgaria 4-0 and Slovakia 4-1. They beat Belarus 5-1 on Friday.

Bride on Monday, if Greece continues its perfect forms, Denmark’s campaign may have a significant problem with a score of six possible points. If they do what is necessary against Belarus in Budapest, Scotland may have four.

We reflect it here, but it doesn’t hurt it. Clarke’s team has Greece and Belarus in the next window. If they enter with four points from six, they will feel good about themselves. There is no need to be my head, but there are reasons to be hopeful.

It is not so normal when it comes to Scottish and World Cup qualification. Since his last head in 1998, his wishes suffered early.

They won one of the first four matches in the 2018 World Cup. Four years ago, they started with two home lottery and effectively removed themselves from running. Four years ago, they lost to Macedonia in their first matches and won only one of the first four.

It was even worse in front of the 2006 World Cup – the Lights came out early with a home lottery against Slovenia, Norway and a home loss of the next two matches. Complete.
