Scotland 2 Czech Rep 2
True the ref had a mare - but his biggest mistake was not giving the Czech"s a penalty in the first half - it was 100% stonewall .... which sets up the classic soft penalty ... so when you dangle your foot in and miss the ball late on we"ve all seen them given ... Then Berra up to the other end and a penalty claim that you would never want given against you ...
Scotland can still make it - but given how badly they played they will need to do a lot more to beat Lithuania who won in Prague.
Prague is the key to the group - Craig Levein decided to play 4-6-0 - just after Lithuania has won there - why??
There is no answer just a 1-0 defeat.
Yesterday"s we were outlplayed and scored with our first shot - which the keeper should have saved. So we get out of jail at the end of the first half, and get put back in jail at the end of it.
Kenny Miller and Scott Brown both booked for pointless challenges - and both suspended.
Too much moaning - not enough playing ...
Athletics ... Triple Jump should be great ... pretty open in my opinion.
Phillips Idowu 2.4 - best jump on world lists : 17.59
Nelson Evera 5.1 - 17.31
Christian Taylor 6.2 - 17.68
Alexis Capello 6.2 - 17.68
Christian Taylor a fabulous bet at those odds - he"s jumped further than Idowu this year.
He also has a 17.80 just over the max wind speed +2.3m/s
Annoyingly a couple of the minor player could be villians in this analysis so a few pounds on
Sheryf El-Sheryf 17.72 this year
Fabrizio Donato 17.73 this year - (Indoor)
Why not another huge jump from the blue?
Good luck to Phillips - but odds way too short ...
Channel 4 - Analysis - Do you think if Phillips can jump 17.50m then he will win? A :YES :
For me 17.70m required so wide open.
