And we’ll also be facing Musa Dibaga after Dunfermline bought him from Crusaders where he apparently did really well.

I’m on holiday and watched the Arg 3-2 Egy match on a big screen with about 40 passionate Argentinians who obviously went through the wringer but were jubilant by the end.

The decision by FIFA to suspend the suspension of USA’s Balogun is disgusting and has more than a whiff of political interference.

Did well to cling on last night, but they couldn’t realistically have hoped for an easier path to the semis! Won’t know how good they actually are until they face one of the top sides.

Glad to see the back of Paraguay, nastiest team at a World Cup for decades.

This game is the dodgy uncle that nobody should ever talk about, and instead we just pretend that it never existed.

They go home unbeaten (in 90 mins at least) including draws against Spain, Uruguay and Argentina!

So who next for manager? Derek McInnes would’ve been the obvious choice until he got the Rangers job. I know a lot of people will insist that we need a Scottish manager, but I’d be happy with Ange Postecoglu if he wanted it and was affordable.

Is the reason Clarke plays cautiously because he knows/believes that central defence is the weakest link? Hanley/Hendry/McKenna are obviously good defenders to a certain level but play for Hibs, Al Ettifaq and Dinamo Zagreb, and are past their best. Been a long time since there was a pairing you could really trust.

We now know that the size of our defeat to Brazil actually made no difference, we weren’t even close and would’ve needed a 5 or 6 goal GD improvement to qualify. Realistically we needed to snatch a draw against Morocco.

Steve Clarke no longer the manager, just 3 weeks after signing a 4 year extension!

0.07% chance of qualifying now. It’s gonna be the greatest comeback story of all time when we lift that trophy!

One of several disappointing aspects of this tournament is that our (supposed) big name stars simply did not shine. Perhaps the only player whose stock went up is Lewis Ferguson who was consistently impressive.

Don’t forget that when teams in 3rd lose, the team currently 4th may well overtake them! We are going home and deservedly so.

Plenty of effort but not enough quality and too many mistakes. Not good enough.

Smart. Uncontentious.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to be delighted at only being 1-0 down at HT! Looked somewhat out of our depth initially, but had a much better 2nd half and competed well. I fear only scoring 1 v Haiti will be our downfall in terms of qualifying, but you never know.

Well it’s a much needed winning start for us, but that second half was brutal and Haiti did not deserve to lose.

Switched on ITV’s coverage for the Swi-Qat match this evening. The good news is that an ex-manager of ICT is one of the panel. The bad news is it’s Big Dunc.

I see they have brought in Wilson Isidor after finding out his ancestry made him eligible. He was Sunderland’s top scorer in 24/25 and is very fast.

Or Costa Rica. The public holiday for the day after the game could easily become a day of national mourning.

Dull and pretty uneventful. PSG deserved to edge it but created hardly anything and looked nothing special in this showpiece match.

No surprise at all that we are interested in him, but he has supposedly had a (disappointing) 2 year offer from Aberdeen and it’s not easy to see how our offer could be better. Hope we get him though, even past his best he is still a good player for this level.

Another huge penalty call tonight which hands Celtic the advantage. I think VAR and then the ref have made an assumption that the ball must have hit the defender’s hand, but the footage shows no real evidence of a clear and obvious error.

I’d expect that Naysmith will take the best to Ayr.
