Anyone else watching or interested? Incredible free kick from Zahavi to put Israel 1-0 up, right into the top corner. 7 minutes played so far.It was a good atmosphere at Hampden before the goal but am I the only one who sees all those people huddled together singing and shouting in each otherrCOs faces and thinks it looks a Covid transmission horror story? I know most people are vaccinated now but the Delta variant can evade the vaccine like Zahavi evading the Scots defence and leave people with long Covid.

But Israel answer straight away! Another free kick, floated in this time, the ball plays pin ball in the box leaving Dabbur a simple tap in to put Israel 2-1 up! 33 minutes played.I was surprised VAR didn't call this off. There were questions about the position of the player who first headed the ball, the ball hitting Dor Peretz's arm (attached to the body and in a natural position, but I thought this wasn't relevant any more), and the position of the player next to the goalie on Dabbur's shot, who was potentially interfering with play.
Halftime score : Scotland 1 - Israel 2. Hampden Park very subdued now.Israel and Scotland have both an uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so far Scotland seems to have the upper hand in ineptitude, but they are putting the Israeli defense under a lot of pressure, I'd be surprised if they didn't at least equalize.
Guys, I have to go for my dinner now and for some strange reason my i-pad has stopped letting me post to google groups so I think that's all the live commentary from me, if anyone is out there and wants to pick up the play by play please feel free to do so.

Then Dykes came close to making it 3-2.

Dabbur seemed to have pulled a muscle on the very last ball of the half. He will probably get subbed.

Disallowed goal for Scotland, not too many complaints.
15 minutes left, still 2-2

FT 3-2
Scotland almost guaranteed of second place in the group, at this point.

Don't count on it. They could yet drop points in the Faroes or Moldova.
This is Scotland after all. Also possible that Denmarks gets complacent
and loses to Austria, making the Israel Austria game hugely important. Israel has the two minnows at home, Scotland has them away.
Even for Scotland, this is too much.

They *almost* managed to drop points to the Faroes, but an 86th minute winner by Lyndon Dikes makes their second place basically unassailable.

Israel's remaining two games are both pretty winnable, so they would be
on 19 points (Scotland on 17 right now). Austria have nothing left to
play for and will get a crack at qualifying through the Nations' league route, so they might not be all that difficult an obstacle.
Denmark show no signs of letting up, and I would not put much money on Scotland even getting a draw against them at Hampden. So Moldova away is
a must win - and prime choking territory for Scotland.

Crafty, but "would not put much money" on Scotland getting a point at Hampden against already qualified Denmark is a little bit too blatant.
