2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[alegotardo]

It seems that the quality of the players playing in the Scotland national team at the moment have improved significantly, I think it will be a very difficult task for Ukraine to beat Scotland today. Qualifying for the World Cup is a big achievement and the players of Scotland will surely want to achieve that goal, I guess Scotland should be able to beat Ukraine relatively easily today.

I think it will be easy for Scotland to beat Ukraine in this match because so far the country of Ukraine is far from safe and I believe the metallicity of the players will also have an effect and this may be a great opportunity for Scotland to beat Ukraine. However, I think this match will be quite exciting where both teams will try their best to win this match.

I still believe in a Ukrainian victory. Ukraine has been trying to overcome the trauma of the war to return to a World Cup since 2006, when it managed to participate for the only time, but Scotland is not doing very well either... it hasn't participated in a World Cup since 1998.
Maybe it's the feeling that everyone wants to see Ukraine in the world cup that is also infecting me, I would really like them to have a free pass for this dispute without having to go through a classification, which is not possible.
But I keep the faith to see Ukraine playing in Qatar.

Ukraine and Scotland will compete in the play-off semi-finals of the World Cup tonight. The Ukraine-Russia war caused the postponement of this match. But how accurate is this encounter? I think that Ukraine, where the war is still going on will not be motivated in this encounter. Ukraine could have been exempted from the qualifiers for this reason. But that would also be unfair to Scotland. It would be better to find a different way for this.

Scotland v Ukraine: Tearful Oleksandr Zinchenko wants play-off win for suffering compatriot. Don't say that ukarine are not ready for this encounter, they are fully geared up to win this match. There motivation is to give some joyful moment to there people back home. The match will begin from two hours now.

I really don't believe that Ukraine will be able to win against Scotland. First of all the Ukrainian team is not in the best shape right now in my opinion. They obviously have some problems even though a lot of people are saying they don't. And I believe Scotland is a better team overall. Yes, I agree that Scotland does not seem to be a team that is overwhelmingly better compared to Ukraine but they don't have to be. They just need to play sensible football and that will be enough against a team like Ukraine.

I really want to Ukraine to reach World Cup. Not because war and situation in their country. I simply like their team and I liked how they performed in EURO 2020.
In normal conditions they would be favorites against Scotland, but now I think it's 50/50 game. And yeah, for Scotland this is very important game too, reaching World Cup after so long. So, let the best team win.

[Slow death]

Scotland 0 - 1 Ukraine

Ball possession:

Ukraine = 58%

Scotland = 42%

honestly in this game clearly ukrania is the favorite to win the game and clearly i'm rooting for ukrania to win this game, a pity i didn't bet on ukrania because i couldn't transfer money in time to make a bet, but if ukrania continues in this game pace they will manage to score the second goal and with that they will guarantee the victory and bring joy to the Ukrainians. Teams where their countries are at war they are not weak in soccer, on the contrary, they tend to be more motivated to play well

I really want to Ukraine to reach World Cup.

I also prefer Ukraine to reach the world cup, even though they won't make it far in the world cup. speaking of the world cup, today italy are playing against argentina and argentina is winning, maybe this game will show a little of what can be expected from these two great teams in the World Cup

It is looking very good for Ukraine. They are ahead with one goal and the better team. Scotland will need to add a bit to their game if they want to keep a chance for qualification. Current odds for qualification are Scotland 3.6 and Ukraine 1.25. I think we'd rather see a 2-0 than a 1-1, but I don't expect more than 1 goal in the remaining 30 minutes.

The circus goes on. Ukraine has become good at football in recent decades and the rest of the CIS countries can only envy it. Probably a repeat of Eurovision today, when of course Ukraine won. Probably today the English have asked their Scottish friends not to show good football. Indeed, probably no one will be surprised if the Ukrainians win the World Cup.

Impressive display coming from Ukraine!

I thought the current happenings back home will keep them distracted not to play well

but they have come out guns blazing to play some good football and let sport bring them together.

Just hope they get a world cup slot...

[LTU_btc]

Ukraine were better team today and deserved to win. Scotland looked very disappointing, they let Ukraine to dominate 1st half. That goal scored bybScotland is more luck because of goalkeeper mistake, but left chance for Scotland and they managed to keep pressure until the end, but were far from making good chance for 2nd goal.

[MinoRaiola]

Ukraine has been winning many events in the last time. Not only the ESC, now also the qualification and only one game is missing for the World Cup. So they won't win the World Cup, but they have won many things. If the last European World Cup ticket goes to Ukraine, I think that's good after the game today.

[LGD2Business]

I preferred to watch the Argentina match, but I was surprised that Ukraine won by scoring three goals. Scotland looked like the better team on paper. When Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk scored early, they finished the job. After McGregor's goal Scotland were hopeful, but Dovbyk scored the third goal at the last minute. Congratulations to Ukraine. They will play a very difficult game against Wales. Both teams want to go to the World Cup.

[MonsterV]

This was a great match to watch. 1-3 is a result that was not exactly the most obvious. Scotland tried but Ukraine seemed to have superpowers today. Perhaps the war has made them even stronger and all players pushed to their limits. They also have some dangerous players and good players like Zinchenko, who often plays for Man City. It is not a world team, but certainly a team that you should not underestimate. Nice for them that they can now go to the World Cup.

[KTChampions]

Once again, we saw how the bookmakers' assessment was completely wrong - Ukraine won with a clear advantage. The final score fully reflected how the game went - now the pre-match scores look absurd, don't they? Now on June 5th we will find out who will go to the World Championship and I hope that Ukraine will be able to get another away victory.

[Zackgeno96]

The bookmakers have indeed misjudged the match beforehand. But that is also difficult, because they are national teams and they rarely play together. At a club it is much easier to link odds to it. I am surprised by the 1-3 result, I did not expect that. When it was 0-1 at halftime, I expected it to be 1-1, but it quickly became 0-2 and then it was actually played. This should give the players and people of Ukraine a special and great feeling. Ukraine to the World Cup and Russia not.

My prediction in my previous post was that Scotland won the match against Ukraine. But in reality it was ukraine who won this match. honestly ukraine played quite well in this match and dominated the match from the first half to the second half. this match is an important point for ukraine because the country has just been in turmoil but the mentality of the ukraine players is not bad at all. On the other hand the Scottish defense is quite bad because Yarmolenko has been able to trouble the Scottish bottom line several times.

Seeing the way they played against Scotland in this match I am still optimistic for them but the opponent they will face later is Wales who can indeed be an obstacle at this time.
It will be difficult to predict but if you look at this game they will know what to do and they will obviously have to secure midfield and possession in this match.

[darxiaomi]

The truth is that I did not expect such an easy victory for Ukraine, I think nobody expected it.

We'll see how the match against Wales will play out. I wanted Scotland to win but it didn't happen.

I didnt see the game so i cant say how bad or good they play.

Your expectation didn't met, so such dishearten execution from your side quite obvious. Ukraine winning 3-1 over Scotland, and I'm happy that they won. Anyway, I've some believe that the Scottish players unusually allowed them to score. I'm looking forward their next play-off match against Wales for making the spot at the World Cup. And Wales gonna destroy them.

[Sithara007]

Never expected such a result from yesterday's match. Lost a few bucks betting for Scotland. Yesterday, it turned out to be a one sided match. The difference is that I was expecting one sided match in which Scotland would win, but the other side won in a lop-sided manner. Got the calculations completely wrong this time. Anyway, Ukraine needs to win one more match, in order to qualify for the world cup finals. And I am sure that Wales will turn out to be a stronger opponent when compared to Scotland.

I had my doubts about Ukraine's players, but they showed that they're here to advance as much as they can. It will be a very fun game to watch against Wales, but ultimately I think Ukraine will win.

And looking into the future, if Ukraine does win, they will be joining England, United States, and Iran in the group B. That's going to be a very political group!
