![Scotland 3-1 Spain [11-11-1984]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QuLKwKodQaw/mqdefault.jpg)
Andrew Robertson epitomizes what that Scotland team is composed of ... The fire, the hunger, the fight before the football was just different gravy altogether n that stadium felt like it would eat up the Spanish team the way it was electric ... Congratulations to the Scottish, wat a fight, wat a game that was Wow ❗💥 💯 ..
Yup congratulations to Scotland. They are one epic team at the moment.
Subbed that guy at half time cos the crowd were all over him
Robertson took a lot of deserved criticism for his Scotland performances for years. Now he's a different beast for Scotland, what a player.
Give credit to Scotland. Whenever big teams lose, the analysis is mainly about how did they lose, not how the underdogs win.
Correct. Scotland were great and very creative with little possession. Spain will do fine in the remainder of this group. Still one of the best in Europe. Just not the best at the moment.
Defo give credit to Scotland but let's keep it real Spain should never be losing to Scotland and that's not an Attack on Scotland its just true? from the size of both countries in footballing terms anyway
Exactly this has become a norm, I don't know why they don't talk about how good the underdogs were
Spain made 8 changes from the previous game…that’s why there’s questions being asked
Both can be true at once. Spain were not at their best and often gave away possession with bad passes under no pressure. But - just as often - they were forced into mistakes by well organised and determined Scottish players. And Scotland used the ball well when they retrieved the ball. So full credit can be given to a fantastic Scotland performance whilst still acknowledging that Spain underperformed.
I haven't followed Spain closely for years. Man, looking at that squad, how far they've fallen from the likes of David Villa, Ramos, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Puyol, Casillas, Torres, Fabregas etc.
Every National Team has there golden era, from 2008-2012, that was theirs, and it's over, sadly
@B C it’s not just about a golden era. Players of that quality or level aren’t around anymore and the ones that are are retiring soon. This new generation is not as talented mad past generations
@R Officer the quality of football has gone downhill very fast in the last 20 years. That's why Ronaldo and messi and other players have so many goals and assists.
@R Officer to some extent yeah, but you can look at other nations like Portugal, who have an incredible pull of talent, and their golden era is probably right now, considering they didn't have players of that quality back then, Spain had an outrageous amount of talent at one time, they had a world class player in every position, but that doesn't last
@R Officer
The players are there for Spain,
it's just that Madrid is sick of depending on Barca to win anything.
Unfortunately for Madrid,
Spain - Barca = Montenegro.
I'm Scottish and even I would have taken a draw beforehand. Yes Spain made big changes, maybe took us too lightly. Stevie Clarke's worked wonders with our squad 👏🏴
Your lads outplayed Spain. It was a deserved win because Scotland played to their strengths.
Haaland are singelhandedly ruining Norways chances.
Painful to watch McTominay are deadlier than every single player in Norways squad....
🎶 Yes sir, I can Boogie, but I need a certain song 🎶
He will get the Celtic job after Postecoglou leaves
You can't take away what Scott brought to both the games. The belief that he can make the difference in this match. Thank you Ten Hag. 😊
Congratulations to Scotland ! Massive result for them. Amazing to see mctominay score two goals as well.
Who cares about mctominay lol..
@ThisAndThat765clearly you do because it’d be pretty pathetic to comment about someone/something you claim not to care about.
@ThisAndThat765 as a united fan I do
@ThisAndThat765 pretty much all United fans do.
@kkunited1 cap, otherwise there would be uproar about Casemiro or Fred taking his spot
that was a hard watch, you would think Scotland were San Marino listening to these guys, not a team with arguably the best Lb in the world and with top premier league players in it.
I've never ever seen a Spanish team put the ball out the park so often by poor passing and control. Scotland missed a couple of chances or it could have been more.
M.o.r.a.t.a is he injured or just ded?
Callum mcgregor Kieran Tierney andy Robertson John mcginn scott mctominay all stand outs daily for Scotland. The full team where superb tonight every player actual playing for there people and country. Give the Scottish credit when it’s due we deserve it we have been very good for few years now were only going to get stronger this is looking like a golden generation for us
Ale has such a unique way of breaking down and identifying problems and his mannerisms
He knows how to analyse both barca and spain
His good at his job….
And add to that crisp fluent Spanish accent when name players..
Sometimesah good sometimesah sheet
@zoul_petrescu That’s not our accent. Haha I feel he’s from SA.
This is a perfect example of a team showing up to a game and the game plan has been left behind at home.
Thats a great analysis keep underestimating us thats perfect for Scotland if teams don't take them seriously this will happen more often than not
As a Liverpool fan I was rooting for Robo. What I saw was 10 Robo alike players ( 🏴 team) winding up the Spanish players the whole time 😂
Robo was lucky though for not getting red card when he elbowed a Spanish player.
There was no force or injury, so a yellow was correct
He didn't elbow him ffs! It was a wee push and the Spaniard cheated by going down
Maybe but if it was in EPL, probably he was getting red
Was there another team involved or just Spain? Plus Scotland have not always played that way at all. When Stevie Nicol played they had world class players that could cut open any team. The problem was that team rarely played as a team and more as Individuals.
Completely agree, all those great players that could and maybe should have achieved more. Craig Brown was the last manager to have that kind of fight and unity in the squad and Clarke's getting even more than that from our current players.
Like I commented on the last vid. Even though Spain won their last game, it was a sluggish win. Everyone kept saying how great Spain were and how they showed intensity. This game proved I was right about Spain and shows how naive the Spanish were going into this match. Norway vs Spain was just a mask for what was truly to come.
If Norway had put away their chances, it would've been the same situation, their just not good anymore
The coach not good enough
Spain are still imprisoned by their old slow short passing possession game. A well coached side like Morocco and Scotland are going to know to pressure them and drive at them with intensity.
Aye nae bother pal 😂
It’s really simple. The backup Spain team isn’t as good as Scotlands first team. They simply don’t have the depth to be making 8 changes against anyone.
It's not a backup team.
It's Madrid (Rubiales, Florentino and Tebas) trying to take back the Spanish team from Barca.
Spain - Barca = Montenegro
@Michael St. Hill you must be a Varcelona fan because that is not true
@Michael St. Hill the same team that lost to Morocco? 😂
Spain didnt just lose. Scotland won. Better game plan, wanted it more, harder working, created chances, took chances.
The better team won and it wasn't that close. (I was in the North Stand shiting myself until the 95th minute)😅
Spain B team
@Safe The B Team played very well then, they should be proud of their performance against a top mens side.
Fandan
Walked in hoping for the best in Hampden tonight but wow. Great atmosphere and fantastic result.
Big Don Hutchison is spot on.Spain simply didn't fancy it.They didn't fancy a rainy night in Glasgow on a heavy pitch. The reverse fixture will be very different, but I think Scotland could nick a draw in Spain
No he isn't, Spain don't lose qualifiers and they have played on far worse pitches and far worse weather than a rainy Glasgow FFS. They underestimated Scotland and they just aren't very good upfront or in defence. Scotland deserved the win
@heres johnny Agree, I think that's now 8 LOSSES Spain have had in 148 games. So this result is monumental. Can't wait for the games in June and the return game in Spain. Be interesting to see where they play it. They were maybe going to play it in one of the smaller grounds as a token to the locals. They might have to play it at a bigger one to get their fans to help them, especially if it's down to Scotland and Spain to get first place. Any ideas where their go to ground for winning is, or is it them all 😂😂🤣🤣
very happy for Scotland, they belong to football royalty for sure
I like this team Scotland keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
Scot players were not afraid to take on the spanish defenders,running at them especially from the wings ...it was a good strategy because if the spanish defenders over commit on their tackle they might got a red card ..
its simple Spain were arrogant and thought their b team could walk over us ,but we are Scotland what we lack in skill we more than make up for it with heart.
I know what you are saying, but scotland actually used the ball very well, created a lot of chances, were composed and skilled in possession. We have Liverpool, Arsenal and Man United players now. So the idea that it was just pure Scottish grit isn't applicable to this Scotland team. Grit was only one component, they were professional, organised at the back, confident and skillfull.
Spain were beaten by a better team.
I'm old enough to remember the last time you beat Spain. The difference is back then you had some genuine World class players. Back then, Spain, it's leagues, RM and Barca were nothing special. This result is bigger than when they did it in the 80s.
@somebodyelseuk are you saying Andy Robertson and Tierney are not world class? Although Tierney hasn't featured much this season he was one of the top defenders the past couple of seasons also John McGinn is very underrated out side of Scotland,we couldn't press as we do without him leading.Once he is fit again Craig Gordon even though he's not a spring chicken is still one of the top ten goalies in Europe then there is Callum McGregor as good a midfielder as we've produced in twenty years.
not one mention of Scott McTominay with 4 goals or Robertsons 2 assists??
Literally says it after 14 seconds
From afar I've Always loved McTominay; he has the ball skills,athlethicism and hungry attitude I 💕 in a Football Player!❤
It's a joke that these guys call themselves journalist. They all need to read the room...
After that first game I saw this happening, this Spain team needs a good coach and better players
Spain really needs to stop playing so slow!! The game has gotten faster and Scotland did their job even if they were defensive!! They hit Spain on the counter!! I swear Luis de La Fuente is going to get sacked after Euro 2024 if he doesn’t get this team right and get a young striker!!
thats right change to modern football or be falling behind
Steve Nicol was right it's definitely down to Steve Clarke he's totally transformed us & things couldn't be better long may it continue
That's not Don Hutchison that's Ian Poulter 🤣
Mc Tommony is the most underrated player for United. Look what he did for Scottland. 4 goals in two games. Remember he came off the bench for the first game and scored twice.
Tbh Scott’s problem with United has been his consistency. He can readily go full blast for Scotland and play at a high level because the games are far apart and Manager is giving him more freedom to roam. With United there are better players at his natural position ( #10 or #8) so Ten Hag prefers to use him at the back of midfield where he is not as effective.
United want a 100m striker when they have Scott McTominay at home smh
Exactly what I was thinking...their long sought after number 9. Seriously, tho...he’s probably very angry and very rested. Ten Hag isn’t afraid to move players out of position. Never know!
@Mr JP he use to be a striker for United youth and reserves
@Mr JP honestly considering he can only pass sideways and backwards he might not be the worst option top
@PatrickRoy30 exactly he ain't a playmaker he never has been, he isn't a cdm either, he's an attacking midfielder that can score goals, he's big and got a good tackle on him so I understand why he's not an all out striker.
Eth should try him as a number 9. What is there to lose. ?
Don at the end had me in tears 😂😂
You have the likes of Kepa, Simon and Sanchez in goals, who can kick the ball, yes, but cannot save it when it matters.
And yet David who is better in the stat which matters for any GK, and probably the best for that, is ignored.
Spain forget that GK is that one role, where everything depends on that person.
Honestly, what did you think would happen going from Luis Enrique to someone that's had absolutely zero experience of managing at the top level?
I like how McSauce has the same number of goals in this qualifiers as Cristiano.
When theres been international football over the years I’ve turned on the tv to watch Spain because they’ve played beautiful football. But what I saw from Spain against Scotland is how far away they are from the very best in football today. So disappointing. They’ve never offered a physical fight. But now they don’t even out smart tactically or technically out play their opponents either.
Good start but do not forget Scotland v Norway is a derby look at the map anything can happen
but great result for the jocks and the tartan army against the Spanish bulls.....
I'd say Aspas and Joselu have quality. It was the others , up front that don't quite have enough.
Where were Pedri and Gavi? 😂😂😂😂
Happy for Stevie for once as a man utd fan
And some madrid fans were crying about what players Luis Enrique was selecting. Now we see why he didn't bring them in...
Great result for the Scots.
Btw tell the panel(especially the host) who is in nations league A and in Nations league B lol You'd think Scotland were Faroes, this is a really good Scotland team with quality players.
But Spain won the passes!
It’s the goals that count, stats don’t win games.
@JamesBond r\woosh
The got the most beautiful possession in that game. Not really fair that Scotland did not play exactly like Spain wanted. Very very mean of them!
The Spanish team of 10 years which dominated world football won WC and Euros compared to this team 10 years on is night and day but they still try and play the same exact way? now it's admirable definitely but there comes a time when you have to face reality? you don't have iniesta or xavi, David villa or Torres and you certainly don't have prime Ramos or iker casisias? it's complete denial taking nothing away from Scotland excellent result but from a Spanish perspective this is shambolic
This game was only the 2nd time Spain has lost a qualifying tie since 2006! 🍀🏴🏴
LMAO at Rodri's post match comments. 🤣🤣🤣
Pot, kettle, black, my friend.
Steve Clarke has done a great job with the Scotland squad. You could really see the positives last night. Steve & his backroom Staff, have been amazing & for the first time in years we Scots could be having some success.
Of course it’s not a top class Spain, you’d be foolish to think the Spanish squad are on a par with their predecessors.
All credit to the Spanish manager, he know he had a difficult game on his hands & it takes time to build a team to the level of the Spanish past masters.
At the end of the day, the best team won.
QUOTE OF THE VIDEO “ …HOW CAN YOU GO TO COME HAMPDEN PARK AND ACT SUPRISED THAT YOURE IN FOR 90 MINUTES OF A PHYSICAL BATTLE “
Scott McTominay is the daddy! 💪🏻🏴 What a result!
"SCOTLANDS ON FIRE🔥 SPAINS DEFENCE IS TERRIFIED!"🎶
PUT SOME RESPECT ON SCOTLANDS NAME 😁🙌❤️🏴
We have 4 top quality players available to pick from overall: Pedri, Rodri, Gavi, and LaPorte. Thats it. THAT IS IT. The next best player after that is probably someone like Morata (decent, but not much more). And then the rest of the squad is flooded with a sea of mediocrity and/or great players in the twilight of their careers. Spain just simply stopped producing top tier players once the golden generation retired.
They were hating on luis enrique 😂
That picture of Stevie is gonna serve as my motivation to keep going to the gym.
Well the people that criticized Luis Enrique aren't saying anything right now so I'm enjoying this mess 😂
Stevie doesn’t know that ceballos was a star under this coach before
Relax this is the new managers second match in a match that doesn’t really mean anything. Spain have so much quality they are still one of the big boys
Amazing really you’d have thought these guy’s speaking were all world class in there times yet if they were Scottish they wouldn’t have represented the country on their ability Shaka & Ali I mean no disrespect to them but they would be considered average football players at best I wonder did any of them beat an international Spanish team while representing their countries ? We may not have the best of talent but it’s important to us that we get the best from That squad and if they give us that then we’ll be happy to support them forever more 🌍✌🏼
How can Rodri say something in line of those words,when week and week out teams play like that against Man City 😂
I’m sure he could play striker but we’re very light in midfield at the moment one more injury and out Academy players are starting
I have no idea what Rodri is talking about tbh. If anyone was diving it was the Spanish team with Joselu trying to win a penalty and Porro going down like he’d been shot after Robertson gave him a push. How the mighty have fallen when u are diving against Scotland to win a penalty. Embarrassing.
"The grass was too long"? I'm sure if he'd like to come back to Glasgow the groundskeeper would be happy to discuss with him - lol
quite a number of scottish players are playing in EPL, this surely help the national team.
Time to change the homegrown quota, no more favours form daddy England..
@Oracle daddy england lol
We don't get the sinful happiness of Craig Burley on this glorious day?
Why does Spain need to have that much ball possession? Why not try to attack quicker?
It's the old boring style of football which teams like barca and real play.
Better question:
how can Spain expect to win anything without Barca players?
It worked for them and still works in european club competition so why they change their style change personell
@Sushant Rawal it doesn't work except against weak teams.
@ArsenalTitleBottlers lol worked whole decade in cl in europa in league
HAHAHAHAHA let me taste your tears Rodri, your tears are so yummy 😂😂😂😂. HAHAHAHA Your tears of unfathomable sadness are delicious 😂😂😂😂. Rodri 😭😭😭😭 was priceless. This is only the beginning for you.
Never underestimate Scotland at Hampden park!! You tell the Scottish players that theirs 8 changes that would fire any team up!!! C,mon Scotland!!!!!!!!!
Spain's plan. Side to side passes for 90 min
The commentary does seem a bit focused on what Spain didn't do, which seems a little unfair as it doesn't recognise how well Scotland actually played on the night (possession % aside, being only one metric). The punditry is a little bit one-dimensional.
Typical English reaction. Listen to the way he says - Scotland. Like we're The Faroes islands or something
Not that big of an upset since Spain was only slightly favored
Do these guys not realize players and teams have off days?? Sometimes it just ain’t ur night. Sometimes players simply don’t show up. Based on their assessments on the game you would think none of these guys talking or their teams ever had a bad game, off night etc
True but Spain have been consistently toothless in the attack for far too long... and the criticism will keep coming until they do better
Spain generally don't have bad games, that is now 8 LOSSES in 148 games!!!!!!!!!!!
De La Fuente has just one goal as a coach, give playing minutes to as many players as possible; one can even say this from his own comment, I'm really scared as a La Roja fan😭😭
It's worst than that, chief,
he's working under orders from Madrid to banish Barca.
This was the first Spanish team in a decade without Barca players.
Worse is to come.
@Michael St. Hill Stop this rubbish! Your making this nonsensical comment everywhere!
Spain, Germany and Italy aren’t what they once were. This result is a shock but not surprising.
Those countries have very low birthrates, aging population in general
Germany is still savage.
@U Betcha losing to Belgium?
Ten Hag drop Weghorst and you got your striker 😂
They let go of gem of a manager (luis Enrique)
This is what happens when you don’t put barca players in your starting squad
A brace in two games, I guess Man Utd don't need to sign Kane or Osimhen anymore, Mctominy will be the new striker 😂😅
Spain just keeps going sideways and wasting time passing the ball around. They don't know how to pierce through teams. They have lost those press resistant players and good defence breaking passers
3:42 Take a look at the Spanish team. Nearly all of these players play in club teams that'd struggle in the Europa Conference League. Just about okay players who play for average club teams.
A good Spanish side has always had majority of its players from either Barcelona or Real Madrid. Unless they go back to that, the national team of Spain will struggle.
The problem isn’t where the players are from (good or bad clubs), but their experience, they are all new with a new coach, they can’t handle suck a drastically changes, they know is an important match and they get nervous. That is what I think, but probably is the coach fault, he probably said before the match to go easy on them, because i see on these last games that Spain played, they are very slow and taking everything easy. I miss prime Spain 🇪🇸
@IamFaby True. The Spanish WC team came from top clubs but still beaten by Marrocco!!
@Leny Oktavia yeah :(, I guess next World Cup will be different
@Leny Oktavia POV: Morocco beat Belgium and Portugal, and recently beat Brazil in friendlies
@Leny Oktavia Morroco beat Portugal, Belgium, and Brazil. Notice how Spain is the only team that lost to them only by penalty show the actual quality of Spain was compared to those big teams that lose to Morroco. Enrique was their best bet, now they'll enjoy disaster with this new coach
This presenter is enough reason to vote independence
😂
💯
Congrats to Scotland, where up for the fight, But why is it not a single comment about Scott McTominay . I can't believe you as journalist and most of you as former players can't give a young man his dues...Or is it a bias because he is a MUFC player and you lot will never give those players praise...So I will say it for you. Congrats Scott McTominay for the wonderful game you played.
This is a very average Spain side, not sure why Scotland let them have all the possesion after they scored the first goal but I guess it worked, not sure it's the best long term plan for them though.
are u insane? the reason why they didnt concede single goal cuz they played low and counter, its spain show some respect
De la Fuentes is the Spanish Gareth Southgate
Spain losing to Scotland is KILLING Ale'. and McTominay scoring both goals is really destroying Ale'. Poor little Barcelona Ale' gonna cry himself to sleep tonight!
Was the grass too green for Rodri? 😂
Kind of a random point, but was it just me or was the Spain left back absolutely awful. I’ve seen Gaya play before and he looked decent, but I don’t remember him doing anything except lose the ball for the entire game. Was so surprised he even came out for the second half, never mind played the whole game.
Regarding the depth of this Spain squad it's quality over quantity, Spain don't have the quality compared to the squad 15 years ago
12:49 I could've sworn he said Jeremy Beadle haha
Spain just lack world-class players all over the pitch. outside of Pedri, Gavi, Rodri, & Laporte, most of these players are not good enough to start for top teams. and they really have very few options at striker that are any good. i don't think they'll make it far in the Euros.
LOL not a threatening side anymore that’s for sure.
The whole world has Spain figured out, that's what happens when you play the same style for 15+ years
Norway haven’t and nor will many others. Still a very strong team.
Spain and germany are not what use bee.but They will bee back
Absolutely Spanish style of playing football has to change, the football games of today it's all about tackle,dempo and speed 😮😮😅
Spain has no plan B when things aren't going well, they're still a strong team but a shadow of the side with likes of Xavi and Iniesta pulling the strings.
@James W. Smith
Argentina disagrees.
It felt comfortable and we should have scored more
Spain were lucky to only loose 2 0
Don't yous knuckle draggers support England
We are due a big win..
We done Scotland
Steve Nicol , great player
I still remember the sitter he missed against Uruguay but I'll let him off.
Spain are too overcoached and told to pass too much instead of taking a defender on
In difference to Norway Scotland has the quality to punish the spanish sloppyness.
Disappointed, was hoping Scots would give Rodri a tackle or two the way he's done to Odegard.
We rattled Spain. They could not deal with us at all
Why is it that Alejandro is the only cast member who always and must go through the pronunciation of each Spanish player with every show compared to the other panel members? It gets annoying after a while and I am Latino
Works both ways, watching that game last night here in Spain was like being racially abused for 90 minutes.
No doubt we will get spanked in Spain, they won't make the same mistakes and drop 8 1st team picks a 2nd time.....but 3 pts when we expected none....1 at our EXTREME BEST....great result Scotland. I love seeing the Spanish players being so salty about the result.....have a look at Rodri's interview with the BBC
Don Hutchison is correct to tampen down exclamations of qualifying...it's only 2 games. Let's enjoy the 6 pts, but Norway and Haaland are a very dangerous prospect, Spain away will be nigh on impossible and Georgia are no mugs either. Scotland love stealing defeat from the jaws of victory and it would not be surprising to see us struggle away at Cyprus as well. Too many false dawns for us to be jumping the gun at this early stage.
Mon the Scotland!!
Na Scotland have every chance man this Spanish team ain't like the past? also pressure will be massive on them so Scotland can enjoy it 😂
Don't agree. Scotland are 5 points ahead of Norway already and have recently defeated Denmark, Ukraine and Spain. Scotland have more strength in depth than Norway and Georgia.
@kevin gallagher probably but Norway have Haaland and Odegaard and the game in Oslo is now a must win for Norway. It will be a very tough match for Scotland and I'd be happy if we get out of there with a draw.
This is what happens when you don't have any Barca players. Luis Enrique was constantly criticized for his perceived bias for Barca players. Now we can see why he chose them.
Yet they were beaten by Morrocco in WC!
Barca players isn't the panacea mate. Call spade a spade. They were defeated by Morocco with almost all the barca players in the starting eleven😂.
if Barcelona doing bad, Spain too. They won World Cup in which majority of the players were Catalans, they also use their style of play. Spain is nothing without Barcelona
Barcelona players didn't play today bro that's why Spain didn't know how to play tik taka
Ale your argument and the rest of these laliga fans are looking suspect at the moment? passing the ball means nothing? I think the Spanish style of football is becoming unstuck? iniesta, xavi, biscuits, torres, David villa, ramos, pique, iker, alba, silva, Pedro, navas obviously this team was sensational but the quality what Spain has now compared to this team is night and day? yet Spain still try and play exactly same way of football? I do respect that honestly but there comes a time when you just don't have the quality to play in such a way? it's arrogant and egotistical to think you can inflict your will on any team just like the Spanish team of 10 years ago? it's time to wake up and smell the coffee if you support Spain it just isn't working and by this point that form of football clearly has a certain "level of player needed" but the Spanish being Spanish will continue to play that way whilst negligence will be the result? Congratulations to Scotland great result 😂
They're making the mistake of thinking everyone can be Xavi, iniesta and busquets etc just because they played a passing style of football... anyone can play a passing style but it's more down to Xavi and iniesta's genius than the style....
Spain have to move forward and find a system that gets the best out of their current crop of players.. you might not get another Xavi iniesta busquets for 50 years...I highly doubt they will ever get a team that masters tiki taka like they did 15 years ago
@R&S exactly
I remember we played them years ago when they had Villa, Xavi, Iniesta etc..... I think they kicked off, played about 100 passes and scored a great goal within a few minutes... I could only applaud it. They just don't have 'that' anymore yet they still try.
Spain is pain
Apparently a guy a called Rodri ( how does a Welshman get a game for Spain ) was blaming the length of the grass for Spain’s defeat.
Hilarious
I haven’t watched much football in years because of tadgers like that. Guess I won’t be watching much any time soon either.
