00:49Click yours it is, last chance to impress for players to force their way into the reckoning
00:55for Steve Clarke and just this preparation leading into the huge game next week
00:59in the kickoff for the World Cup.
01:00I'm sure they've made a lot of the conditions.
01:03It will be tough for the players but they will just get on with it.
01:06Dannon Doak got away from Fernandes.
01:10He tries to lay down a marker early on.
01:14And we did wonder if Findlay Curtis would be given the nod to start this evening
01:18بعد ذلك يجب ان تقلق على المساوعة

02:30موزمت بردان
02:32كانت وترجم اجل
02:35ويوجد من التقلد أنفسي
02:37Wassowing her performance in Copenhagen was so important
02:44Robertson
02:50there's a foul by the new Spurs full back
02:53yeah I mean I think when you look at
02:56the ball there goes back to gun
02:58it looks like Scotland are under a bit of pressure
02:59but play it forward
03:01Shanklin wins the flick on
03:02Adams is on the end of it
03:03and that's the benefit of playing with the two strikers
03:05because you can get one that goes and challenges for the aerial ball
03:09the other one can then put themselves in a position to take that pressure off
03:13and it doesn't come to anything down that left hand side with Andy Robertson
03:17but it is a benefit of having the two strikers
03:25We were watching bits of the Haiti game last night
03:27they were playing Peru, they lost 2-1
03:29led all the way through till 10 minutes to play
03:34Peruvians won it, it's very difficult to see any football on a TV in New York last night
03:39given it's all about the basketball here just now
03:43as the Knicks manage to 2-0 up in the series
03:49beating San Antonio and they're at home on Monday at Madison Square Garden
03:54so that'll be quite the night in the Big Apple
03:58ball swung in there by Fernandes
04:01and comes to nothing
04:05Yeah, I mean, that's a deep cross, Christie's in a good position
04:08and that's what's going to have to happen
04:10you're playing a 4-4-2, you have to make sure
04:13particularly in the wider areas
04:15Ganondorf and Christie that they've switched on
04:16the ball's coming in at the other side
04:18make sure you're nice and narrow, tucked in
04:20in these defensive positions
04:24and these are things that Steve Clarke will be looking at
04:26with the game against Haiti in mind, if you're going to go with two strikers in you need to make
04:32sure that every part of that team works because as much as we look at the threat going forward you
04:37also have to be aware of what happens behind and Shanklin were a nice little flick on once again
04:43Yeah, you have to get them both involved in the game, otherwise you're at least one man down, aren't you?
04:47Yeah, but Lawrence Shanklin knows exactly where to be, to go and affect the ball and it is important, it
04:54sounds really simple
04:55but if you can see that your team are under pressure, you need to be in a position to affect
04:58it
04:58where you're that out ball
05:00and we know he's so intelligent, he's so good at that
05:03Shane Adams, interesting to see how that link up is with those two
05:09Robertson
05:11Christie
05:12Robertson's there, options waiting
05:16and Shanklin was one of them
05:20he's at it again
05:23he could
05:25be about to become the main man for this team
05:29and Scotland in front in Harrison
05:32inside five minutes
05:35they are cooking
05:36in the heat
05:37and it's a brilliant goal
05:39you spoke about the benefits of having the two strikers
05:42but the play
05:42from Robertson and Christie is excellent
05:45Shane Adams is the one that goes and occupies the front post area
05:47look at Shanklin
05:48he loves hanging out at that back post
05:51and it's a lovely
05:53composed header
05:54into the top corner
05:57goalkeeper absolutely no chance
05:58but the link up plays excellent
06:00and Andy Robertson you can't take away from the cross
06:02he knows that he's at the byline
06:03he knows that has to have
06:05a chip stand up ball to the back post
06:07and Shanklin
06:08near the head at home
06:11he's taken his international tally from four to seven
06:15in these warm-up fixtures
06:17and counting
06:21it's a great start for Steve Clarke
06:23here come Bolivia looking for an immediate riposte
06:26with Villamil
06:28leaves it for Miguelito
06:31Ganondot goes in the road
06:33now he's on his bike
06:38Adams ahead of him
06:39others arriving now
06:40there is Adams
06:41Robertson to his left
06:43shimmies on to his right
06:46spilled there by Guillermo Viscara
06:48the Bolivia keeper
06:51there are promising signs though
06:52in the infancy of this game
06:54yeah very good
06:54Ganondot set off down the right hand side
06:57direct running
06:58straight at defenders
06:59I thought that Shea Adams
07:00could have played it to Andy Robertson
07:02but he uses him as a decoy
07:04gets the space
07:04and gets the shot away
07:06hits the target
07:06so not too much criticism
07:08on that front
07:10Shanklin again setting
07:11Ganondot away
07:12down the right hand side
07:26it's Domi
07:28playing it short to Rivera
07:34Madera the main striker for Bolivia
07:36tonight is making his debut
07:37very inexperienced at this level
07:40though
07:404-13 matches for
07:43his youth team this season
07:46he plays in Argentina
07:49Taláres de Cordoban
07:50not a senior football player
07:53really
07:54as yet
08:01they will be
08:03warming up Algeria
08:06in Kansas City
08:08as the Algerians prepare
08:10for a fifth appearance
08:11at the
08:11World Cup Finals
08:20here's Hendry
08:21back from Christie
08:29McTominay
08:33Shanklin out
08:33to Ganondok
08:35exactly
08:35where he wants it
08:40across the
08:40bow to the goalkeeper
08:42Robertson
08:51they've got the goal
08:52but also
08:53they've started
08:53the dry turn
08:54that will be
08:55to the delight
08:56of the manager
08:56down there
08:57absolutely
08:58look my threat
08:59going forward
08:59picking and choosing
09:00the right moments
09:01and went up the tempo
09:02and that was a really
09:03good cross
09:04from Ganondok
09:06flag against Adams
09:07right now
09:09McTominay
09:11Christie
09:12gets it back
09:18not a great effort
09:19but it's good play
09:19once again
09:21crisp passing
09:23just doesn't sit nice
09:24for Ryan Christie
09:25to get a clean
09:26to get a clean connection
09:26on it
09:28but these are the things
09:30that Steve Clark's
09:30looking at
09:31you know
09:31the threat
09:31that you carry
09:32going forward
09:33I think we've shown that
09:34I know it's really early
09:35but also having a bit of patience
09:37much has been made
09:38of the conditions
09:39and rightly so
09:39it can't be 90 minutes
09:41to just go forward
09:41forward forward
09:42there has to be an element
09:44of control in there
09:45and there has been
09:47in the early stages
09:47of the game
09:51and Hickey and Ganondok
09:52got caught
09:53in a fan call
09:56and the left
09:57spots him
09:58foul there
10:09Ganondok protesting
10:10his innocence
10:12yeah I mean
10:13he does just drop him
10:14and I think
10:15that's the correct decision
10:20on their way
10:21to the finals
10:22in 1994
10:23Bolivia became
10:24the first team
10:25to ever beat Brazil
10:28in Brazil
10:29in a qualifying match
10:32Angus Gunn
10:33readied himself
10:34for this Miguelito
10:36free kick
10:43and that again
10:44against the Brazilians
10:45last year
10:47there was a dreadful
10:48delivery
10:49from Miguelito
10:50and it's called
10:52the defence
10:52will be happy
10:55if that continues
11:06generally when you look
11:07at the scheduling
11:08of the World Cup
11:08the FIFA have
11:10deliberately scheduled
11:12the earlier kick-offs
11:13with the exception
11:14of the opening match
11:15between Mexico
11:15and South Africa
11:16in Mexico City
11:18generally
11:18in the hotter states
11:20the matches
11:21are in the evening
11:22the matches
11:23earlier on
11:24are in cooler climates
11:26or under domes
11:33I'm pretty sure
11:34when Scotland
11:34go to Miami
11:35to play Brazil
11:35it'll still be
11:37a bit on the toasty
11:38side
11:38here's Miguelito
11:41winning the corner
12:01here's Miguelito
12:03winning the corner
12:14again
12:15the ball doesn't
12:16threaten
12:16Gunn's goal
12:28McTominay
12:28Henry takes command
12:31of the situation
12:38McTominay
12:39is away
12:40Christie can find him
12:41and there's way too much
12:42on it
12:45won't be thanking
12:45his teammate
12:46for that one
12:47after making the run
12:47in the first place
12:48yeah
12:49he's just
12:50thought
12:50absolutely no chance
12:52of chasing that
12:52in this
12:53he just over hit
12:54from Christie
12:54and that's
12:56the other dynamic
12:57of the team
12:57McTominay
12:58we're used to seeing
12:59advanced
13:00in support of a striker
13:01or off a side
13:02and being narrow
13:03he's playing
13:04in a deeper role
13:05but he will have
13:06licence to go
13:06at the right times
13:07as you see there
13:10only Rasmus Hoyland
13:11scored more
13:12for Natalie
13:12this season
13:13than Scott McTominay
13:15scored 14
13:24in terms
13:25Lautaro Martinez
13:26World Cup winner
13:27with Argentina
13:28was the top scorer
13:29in Serie A
13:31near way
13:32to the Scudetto
13:44Hakim out to Rocha
13:48who plays in Russia
13:49indeed the two fullbacks
13:50play for the same club
13:51and Akron
13:52Toyati
14:12little handball there
14:13from Morales
14:14surprising if I try to
14:17just play on there
14:18you can see straight away
14:19his reaction
14:20he's well aware
14:21it hit his hand
14:28Angus Gunn
14:28getting the gloves
14:29tonight
14:30give us a pointer
14:31to next week
14:33I think
14:33well he had to play
14:34you know
14:35Craig Gordon
14:35started against
14:36Curacao
14:36we've got three
14:37goalkeepers
14:37that don't play
14:38regularly
14:38so I'm not
14:40surprised
14:40that if Craig Gordon
14:42gets an odd
14:42last week
14:43that Angus Gunn
14:43gets an odd
14:44this week
14:44because
14:44they need to get
14:46some games
14:48but it may well
14:50give us a pointer
14:50to what's happening
14:51next week
14:53against Haiti
14:53precious little football
14:55they're all three
14:56goalkeepers in the squad
14:59for their club sites
15:01220 minutes
15:02Craig Gordon managed
15:03Angus Gunn
15:0445
15:04and that's in
15:05league matches
15:11one half of football
15:13for Gunn
15:14for Nottingham Forest
15:15this season
15:15he came on for
15:16Matt Sells
15:16in a 1-1 draw
15:18with Crystal Palace
15:19in February
15:21they both performed
15:22very well
15:23when they were
15:23asked
15:24for Scotland
15:25so
15:26I think with the
15:27experience that they have
15:28make sure they're ready
15:30whoever gets an odd
15:41Chrisley wanted the free kick
15:43he's got it
15:47he's got it
15:48he's got it
15:49that penalty last week
15:51he took his
15:53international tally
15:54to 10
15:58he's getting a 68 cap
16:00tonight
16:05talking about
16:06Kenny Dalglish's record
16:07been under threat
16:08from Andy Robertson
16:09give me a few others
16:09go past him
16:11Christie's ball in
16:12he's coming off
16:13the toe of Hanley
16:15too high for both
16:16McTominay
16:17and Shankland
16:18whose goal separates
16:19the team's James
16:20it's another fine take
16:21classic Shankland
16:22really
16:22if many classic
16:24Shankland takes
16:25to be fair
16:25but once again
16:27I think
16:28if you asked
16:29every single member
16:30of the Tartan army
16:31who they want to start
16:32up front for Scotland
16:32against Haiti
16:3490-95%
16:35would say Shankland
16:36yeah and understandably so
16:38because we know how lethal
16:39he is
16:40and his goals do speak for
16:41themselves
16:42but I think his all-round
16:43play is really good
16:44his intelligence
16:44to when to be
16:46the more advanced striker
16:48when you're dropping in
16:49even in terms of pressing
16:51I think you can see him
16:52always organising
16:53telling people where to go
16:54and that's key
16:56when you're pressing
16:57from the front
16:57you need players there
16:58that know what they're doing
17:00so yeah
17:01Shankland's certainly
17:02put himself in a position
17:03where
17:04it looks to me
17:05as if it's trying to find
17:06who's going to partner him
17:07if
17:08it's got a goal
17:09with the 4-4-2
17:10it looks like it's going to be
17:12Shankland and
17:12he and other
17:13and I think that's
17:14absolutely right
17:15because he's high for goal
17:16he's second to none
17:17within the squad
17:2024 for club and country
17:22this season
17:25albeit
17:25new club for him
17:27next term
17:29swapping hearts
17:30for Rangers
17:39Bolivia yet to really threaten
17:40Angus Gunn
17:43as Efraín Morales
17:45picks up
17:47he's born in
17:48the States
17:49in Georgia
17:52he's giving it away
17:53to Christie
17:53but it's a poor touch
17:57he's just
17:58difficult to judge
17:59the bounce there
18:00Christie's expecting
18:01just to take that
18:01in his path
18:03I'm letting him
18:04off the hook there
18:10the Scotland players
18:11have been
18:12playing on the
18:13Miami surface
18:14the
18:14into Miami surface
18:15which I think is
18:17the way they're talking
18:18there
18:19sounds like
18:19one of if not
18:21the best football
18:22pitches
18:22in the world
18:23at that training centre
18:24I guess if you've got
18:28Lionel Messi
18:29turning up
18:30every morning
18:31to perform on it
18:32you want the best
18:33yeah I was just
18:34I wonder who influenced
18:35that decision
18:38but it helps
18:39you talk about
18:39preparation
18:40of course it helps
18:41you want the best
18:42facilities possible
18:44and also
18:45you know
18:45you hear Steve Clark
18:46before the game
18:46speaking about how
18:47different the surface
18:48is here
18:50the players are
18:51knocking the ball
18:52about well
18:52looking comfortable
18:53on it
18:54it's not as if
18:55it's a terrible surface
18:56I have to say
18:57it still looks pretty
19:01good
19:01did you get a chance
19:02to walk on it earlier
19:03did you get a
19:04close up look at it
19:05yeah I did see it
19:06it was fine
19:06I didn't really go on it
19:08because
19:09I don't play
19:10anymore
19:11so
19:12I don't like the
19:14I don't know
19:14it just doesn't feel right
19:15if you're playing fine
19:16if you're not
19:17stay off the pitch
19:17Adams does well
19:18he's not quite able
19:20to latch on
19:24managed a goal
19:25right at the end
19:25of the season
19:26Shea Adams for
19:26Torino
19:28in the Turin derby
19:29against Juventus
19:31eight goals
19:33in total
19:36for the campaign
19:37he's not always
19:38a regular starter
19:39for Torino
19:4119 in the league
19:42this season
19:43for Scotland's
19:45number 10
19:51there Shanklin
19:52just a
19:53little by Hakeem
20:02Shanklin for Adams
20:04oh that's a good
20:05effort as well
20:07it just whistles by
20:08he catches it so well
20:10see Adams I think
20:11when the ball's laid
20:12off to him
20:12McTominay made a run
20:14beyond
20:14little reverse
20:15potentially on
20:16but
20:16he catches it
20:17really well
20:18Adams just
20:19unfortunate to see it
20:21just goes
20:22agonisingly close
20:24by the post
20:43this summer's World Cup
20:44final taking place
20:46in this state
20:47the MetLife
20:49isn't too far
20:50far from here
20:58this is a
21:01nice stadium as well
21:02home of the
21:02New York Red Bulls
21:0415 miles
21:05from Manhattan
21:06just a couple
21:07from New York
21:17Robertson in space
21:26good move for him
21:27good move for him to
21:27Spurs
21:27yeah I think that
21:29Spurs have obviously
21:30domestically in the league
21:32been disappointing
21:32the last two seasons
21:34but they've got a
21:35coaching manager
21:36in his airbait
21:38that you expect
21:40Spurs further up the
21:41table
21:46I think Keefe and
21:47Andy Robertson
21:47is playing
21:48week in
21:49week out
21:50Gannon Doak
21:51from Adams
21:54blocked by
21:55Shankland
21:59intentionally
22:07Irvin Vaca
22:14and Hakeem
22:23well won back by
22:24Ferguson
22:26Shankland
22:27out for Gannon
22:27Doak
22:33there's plenty in
22:34and around the box
22:35here
22:41she's flicked away
22:42from Shankland
22:43by Vaca
22:47Christie
22:48Shankland
22:49lovely touch
22:50for McTominay
22:512-0
22:58fantastic play
23:02and Scott McTominay's
23:0415 Scotland goal
23:06gives them a
23:082-0 lead
23:09in their final
23:10warm-up match
23:11yeah it's great
23:12play
23:13I think
23:13nice and patient
23:14once again
23:14Gannon Doak
23:15down the right
23:16hand side
23:17just over hits
23:17the cross
23:18ever so slightly
23:19this pass here
23:20and the layoff
23:21from Shankland
23:22excellent
23:22and it's just
23:23outside McTominay
23:24does really well
23:25to catch it
23:26as well as he does
23:27I mean the goalkeeper
23:28will be disappointed
23:28he hasn't kept it out
23:29it's bouncing in front
23:30of him
23:30but the link-up play
23:32and the strike
23:33is good
23:34Lauren Shankland
23:35once again
23:37involved
23:37as we get a little
23:38water break
23:44well his other
23:4514 goals
23:46all came in
23:47competitive matches
23:49Scott McTominay
23:53and it's
23:54touch fortuitous
23:55because Guillermo
23:56Vizcarra
23:56as James was saying
23:57will be disappointed
23:58that that's evaded him
24:01Scotland are in a
24:02fantastic position
24:03here now
24:05and what's been
24:06most impressive
24:07out there
24:08for me James
24:09is the way
24:11they've gone about it
24:11yeah
24:12because you know
24:13I guess it can get
24:14in your head
24:14when you hear
24:15all this talk
24:16about the heat
24:17going up against
24:18South American
24:18opposition
24:19you're seeing
24:20what Haiti are doing
24:21performance wise
24:22I know they lost
24:22last night
24:23but they've performed
24:23very well in the game
24:25all of that can
24:26affect you
24:27but they've gone out
24:28there in a really
24:29professional manner
24:30and found themselves
24:31in a 2-0 lead
24:32yeah it can
24:33and I mean
24:33you're more than
24:34aware of the heat
24:35that you're going
24:36to be playing in
24:36but often
24:38as I found
24:39when I played myself
24:40it was never actually
24:41as bad as you thought
24:42it was going to be
24:43and you started
24:44to actually feel better
24:45look scoring early
24:46definitely helps
24:47and I think the fact
24:48that there's not
24:49a huge tempo
24:50to the game
24:52helps without a doubt
24:53but they have
24:54really coped to it
24:55very very well
24:56I think that the
24:57control in the game
24:58has been excellent
24:59at times
25:00when it's needed
25:01to be
25:02you know
25:02a higher tempo
25:03it's been there
25:03particularly going forward
25:06and yeah
25:06I think that
25:07they can be really
25:08pleased with the
25:09work so far
25:09I mean some of the
25:10some of the football
25:11has been really good
25:12a lot of control
25:13in the game
25:14mentioned Ben Ganondot
25:15I think his
25:17deliveries have been
25:18much better
25:20so
25:20it bodes well
25:22and Lauren Shanklin
25:23getting himself a goal
25:25and an assist
25:26just showing exactly
25:27what he's capable of
25:29and these cooling breaks
25:31as they're officially
25:32known as
25:32will last for three minutes
25:34you're going to have
25:35to get used to these
25:36did see them at
25:37Hamden last week
25:39there's going to be
25:40a lot to keep your eye
25:40on as well
25:41new rules
25:43coming into play
25:45there's going to be
25:46new VAR interventions
25:48across the competition
25:50there's going to be
25:51time limits
25:52on things like
25:53substitutions
25:54ten seconds
25:54for example
25:55five second restarts
25:57injured players
25:58have to leave the pitch
25:59for one minute
26:01and
26:02no tactical timeouts
26:04for goalkeepers
26:05no covering of mouths
26:06in confrontational situations
26:10and a few other
26:13instances of
26:14VAR intervening now
26:17on things like
26:17incorrectly awarded
26:18corners
26:20attacking fouls
26:21it happened before
26:22players started
26:23second yellow cards
26:24which I think is a
26:24massive one
26:25and mistaken identity
26:28on cards
26:28as well
26:29it all sounds
26:31on the face of it
26:32relatively positive
26:34VAR moving in the right direction
26:35yeah it does
26:36and hopefully
26:37it's done at a speed
26:39that keeps the game
26:41flowing
26:42certainly you mentioned
26:43the water break
26:44last week
26:44at Hampden
26:45it wasn't necessary
26:46in that occasion
26:47but it is in this occasion
26:48because the players
26:49are a bit desperate
26:49got off
26:50got a cold towel
26:51I'll drink a cold water
26:57so play restarts
27:00from centre
27:00in Scotland
27:012-0
27:02to the good
27:05this is going
27:06swimmingly so far
27:14as ever with Scotland
27:15I won't get used to it
27:18if they can
27:19go on from here
27:21maybe score another goal
27:22or two perhaps
27:22against a team
27:23that beat Brazil
27:24last year in qualifying
27:25for the World Cup
27:26a massive boost
27:28that would give them
27:28ahead of the Haiti game
27:29in particular
27:32which really feels
27:34like a non-negotiable
27:35it feels like
27:35they have to win that game
27:37and if they can scramble
27:38a point
27:39from Morocco
27:40or Brazil
27:41then they'd
27:42effectively be through
27:43four points
27:44they'll get you through
27:45three
27:46would get you through
27:47with a goal difference
27:48around about
27:49minus one
27:50minus two
27:51so that Haiti game
27:53roaming into view
27:54now
27:55is just gargantuan
27:57for the Scotland team
27:59yeah
27:59I think that
28:00for this game
28:02it's maintain the control
28:03if you get an extra
28:04goal or two
28:05fantastic
28:06but just maintain
28:07the levels of performance
28:08ensure that you can
28:09control games
28:10see them out
28:11and we'll still
28:12off on that threat
28:13and manage the conditions
28:19this is Fernandez
28:20for Bolivia
28:25to Miguelito
28:31open up for him
28:32so he uses
28:33Domi
28:35sits back
28:36and five
28:37green and white
28:38in the box
28:41Domi's effort
28:42and it's the save
28:43from Gunn
28:43which was
28:45pretty comfortable
28:46but nonetheless
28:46he'll be happy
28:47with that
28:48absolutely
28:49he does really well
28:50he worked the space
28:50Tommy
28:51and he catches it
28:52well enough
28:53Gunn
28:53down to his left
28:55hand side
28:56clean enough strike
28:58comfortable save
29:00I'll be happy
29:01to get a touch
29:03have to be
29:04making a save
29:05in one
29:05as comfortable
29:06as that
29:30will be the biggest
29:32World Cup ever
29:3348 teams
29:34taking part
29:36across 16
29:37host cities
29:39US, Canada
29:40and Mexico
29:44and for a spell
29:46during the group
29:46stage
29:47there's going to be
29:48four games
29:49a day
29:54as Hickey
29:55manages to
29:56pop that back
29:56to Gunn
30:11real assuredness
30:12about this
30:13Scotland performance
30:13right now
30:16Dan and Dork
30:17is after it
30:18Adams is waiting
30:19for three
30:30well Scotland
30:31are on fire
30:32here
30:33then Harrison
30:37with the World Cup
30:39just days away
30:40I mean it's a lovely
30:42weighted pass
30:43for Gunn and Dork
30:45to run on to
30:45he gets his head up
30:46final ball
30:47excellent for Shea Adams
30:49and it's a nice
30:50cool finish
30:52it's so strange
30:53to be standing here
30:54Scotland three goals up
30:56I have to say
30:56this early in the game
30:58but the performance
30:59has been excellent
30:59it really has
31:01shown a lot
31:01of different facets
31:03to the attack
31:04Gunn and Dork
31:05being at the heart
31:05of it once again
31:07and it's a lovely
31:09little pass
31:09into the path
31:10of Shea Adams
31:11to slot at home
31:15this could not
31:16have been going
31:17any better
31:17for Steve Clark
31:18and his team
31:19yeah it's remarkable
31:2212th international
31:22goal for Shea Adams
31:27I think to
31:28try and temper
31:29the expectation
31:30that we can now
31:31go on and win
31:31the World Cup
31:32Liam
31:32I have to say
31:34Bolivia are
31:35obviously playing
31:36a post-season
31:38friendly
31:38in Scotland
31:39they're preparing
31:39for the World Cup
31:40so you have to
31:41factor that in as well
31:41but nonetheless
31:43absolutely fantastic
31:44so far
31:46yeah well
31:47so often
31:47in the last
31:4828 years
31:49or even before
31:51they made the last
31:52two European
31:52Championships
31:53Scotland
31:53were the
31:54warm-up opposition
31:55for teams
31:56going to the
31:57big show
31:59Scotland are
31:59putting on a
32:00big show here
32:00in New Jersey
32:26Bolivia looking for a
32:27response here
32:30not at the party
32:31Scotland are
32:33Ryan Christie
32:35pitch open up
32:36right in front of him
32:37and if he gets this
32:38on his left
32:41and he scuffed at it
32:43and made it
32:43simple for Piscara
32:46yeah it's not the best
32:47effort but it's good
32:48play once again
32:49Christie cutting out
32:50the pass
32:50driving forward
32:51he has options
32:51and he manages to get
32:53his shot away
32:53it's not what he's
32:54looking for
32:54he's trying to bend that
32:55into the far post
32:56but he has options
32:57and that's another
32:58you know
33:00positive to look at
33:01you're winning the ball
33:01you're offering something
33:02on the counter-attack
33:03at first it was Christie
33:05and Adams
33:05then he had
33:06two or three
33:07joining him
33:07and he had options
33:08there
33:09another good thing
33:11to see
33:11for Steve Clark
33:35keen for Morales
33:45Scotland 3-0 up
33:46they kind of deserve
33:47to be
33:48absolutely
33:53Caniagua
33:54out to the left
33:54for
33:56Villamil
33:59to the left
34:00Domi
34:02and Fernandes
34:04in the corner
34:06yeah I mean
34:07it's good
34:07you narrow up
34:08there's a team
34:09close those gaps
34:10so you're not played
34:11through
34:11force it in the wide
34:12areas
34:12get out
34:13and stop the cross
34:13if you can't stop the cross
34:15then you're ready
34:16to go and defend the cross
34:18another example
34:19of this
34:20system in action
34:28Igorito back to Domi
34:35and the flag's up
34:37over there
34:41this is a big problem
34:44for the Bolivian coach
34:46Oscar Villegas
34:48when he failed to reach
34:50the finals
34:51well adrift
34:53they were in seventh spot
34:55they squeezed out
34:57Venezuela
34:57for the playoff
35:01they beat Suriname
35:02and the CONCACAF
35:04nation but
35:06coming up short
35:07against Iraq
35:08that hit them hard
35:10the largest landlocked country
35:13in the southern hemisphere
35:15Bolivia
35:15they're a tough team
35:16to gauge how good they are
35:18because they're so good
35:19at home
35:19due to the conditions
35:20that they play in
35:21the altitude
35:22so they are
35:23a tough team
35:24to see exactly
35:25where they are
35:25you can look at
35:26where they finish
35:26and whether it's
35:28a bit higher
35:28you can say that's impressive
35:29but their home form
35:30is so good
35:31and it's so false
35:32if you like
35:33because of the altitude
35:34because they use it
35:35so well to their advantage
35:36it can be difficult
35:37but nonetheless
35:38you still have to play
35:39the team that's in front of you
35:41and this has been
35:42up to this point
35:43a very very good
35:44performance from Scotland
35:47yellow card out
35:48for Fernandes there
35:49incidentally
35:51see white
35:52out Gann and Doak
35:53down below us
36:00well all week
36:01we've been talking
36:03about Haiti
36:03not just because
36:04the game's coming up
36:05next weekend
36:07but because of
36:08what they've been doing
36:09on the pitch
36:10they hammered New Zealand
36:12and they were leading
36:12Peru all the way through
36:13to the 80th minute
36:14last night
36:15in Florida
36:17but this is going to
36:18sharpen Haitian minds
36:19and it might sharpen
36:20Moroccan and Brazilian
36:21minds as well
36:22yeah
36:23I think that
36:23without doubt it will
36:25because
36:26I mean
36:27there's still
36:27time to go in the game
36:29and there'll be a lot of
36:29changes which could
36:30disrupt the rivalling
36:31of the team
36:32and the performance
36:32just due to the fact
36:34that lots of changes
36:35are made
36:37but
36:37yes
36:38you have to
36:38you have to take note
36:39you're always looking
36:40at the opposition
36:41I think it's been a good
36:42performance as well
36:43as being three goals
36:44to the good
36:45and they look like
36:46a group of players
36:48that are hungry
36:48to go and get more
36:49goals in the game
36:50so yeah
36:51you have to take note
36:51and that's a little
36:52warning but
36:54it's all about
36:55Scotland and what
36:56Scotland can do
36:57in preparation for
36:58that opening game
36:59against Haiti
37:09looks like a foul on
37:10Shantland
37:10and was
37:13yeah he does well
37:14he gives the ball away
37:15Lawrence Shantland
37:15but the reaction's excellent
37:16to go and win it back
37:18just gets his toe in
37:20he's brought down
37:32Gannon Doak
37:41it's been tough
37:42for Ben Gannon Doak
37:43since that night
37:44against Denmark
37:48the injury
37:50obviously
37:50meant he missed
37:51most of the rest
37:52of the season
37:55he's not started
37:56a club game
37:57since his loan spell
37:58at Middlesbrough
37:59when he was there
37:59on loan from Liverpool
38:02ahead of his move
38:03to Bournemouth
38:05last summer
38:07and he's a player
38:08that I think
38:09he would say himself
38:11he would admit himself
38:12he needs to play
38:12yeah
38:13I mean not all players
38:14want to play
38:15but I think when you look
38:16at the type of player
38:17he is to fine tune
38:18that final ball
38:22Hickey
38:23plenty air in that
38:24yeah
38:25I'm just on Gannon Doak
38:26to fine tune that final ball
38:28the more you play
38:28the better that becomes
38:29but I have to say
38:30I think that his decision
38:31making his final ball
38:32has been really good
38:33this afternoon
38:34this evening
38:36and I think the type
38:37of game is suiting him
38:38because he's not
38:38constantly
38:39getting the ball
38:40run down his throat
38:41to go and drive
38:41and make things happen
38:43he's using them
38:44at the right times
38:47the more he plays
38:48you would expect
38:49the better he'll become
38:57probably mean time
38:58for Gabriel Villamil
39:13some of the scotland players
39:14taking on some
39:16price down below us
39:17from Stephen Naismith
39:19Steve Clark
39:20standing
39:21in the centre
39:22of his
39:23technical area
39:24but those scotland fans
39:25who've come here
39:26and there will be many
39:26expats
39:27clearly
39:28are inside the stadium
39:30this evening
39:31will absolutely
39:32love what they have
39:33been watching
39:35without doubt
39:36it's been a
39:36really strong performance
39:38and
39:39you know
39:40I would expect
39:40the levels
39:41to stay the same
39:43you'll get
39:44changes
39:45either at half time
39:47through the second half
39:48that players
39:49that want to come on
39:50and impress
39:50and try and
39:51get on the score sheet
39:52themselves
39:53so it bodes well
39:54and it's nice
39:55to feel
39:56the positivity
39:57of a scotland performance
39:59leading into a major tournament
40:04yeah we remember
40:05before
40:06they went to Germany
40:09there was the
40:10draw of Finland
40:11which looked like
40:12was Craig Gordon's
40:13swan song
40:14and a fairly uninspiring
40:162-0 win over
40:16Gibraltar and Portugal
40:17this has been much more
40:19like it
40:19and that's brilliant
40:20from Ganondorf
40:22denied by Viscara
40:26lovely little shimmy
40:27from the winger
40:28to set up
40:30the shot
40:31he's unfortunate
40:32because it's gone
40:33right down the throat
40:34nah he's caught it well
40:35Lauren Shanklin again
40:36with the flick on
40:37creates a problem
40:40nice interchange there
40:42Robertson and Christie
40:43draws the Scotland corner
40:48into the final
40:49five minutes
40:49of the first half
40:52they don't show
40:53any signs of slowing down
40:55Scotland are hungry
40:56to get more goals
40:58they look like
40:59they're enjoying themselves
41:00and rightly so
41:05Lewis Ferguson
41:07his 24th cap
41:09Adams
41:10and Robertson
41:14there's a big chance
41:15for number four
41:17what a delivery
41:18it is
41:19from Ferguson
41:19great little
41:20flick on
41:21from Chee Adams
41:22at the near post
41:25and he just missed
41:26time to jump
41:26Andy Roberts
41:27maybe
41:27a little bit too high
41:28for him
41:29anyway
41:39the cynics
41:40will say
41:40this has been a dreadful
41:41Bolivian performance
41:42but focusing on the
41:44positives
41:44it's been outstanding
41:45from Scotland
41:47and yeah I mean
41:49I'm here to focus
41:50on how Scotland
41:51are doing
41:51and they're doing
41:52very well
41:52I have to say
41:53that some of the
41:55attacking plays
41:55have been excellent
41:56to link up
41:56Robertson and Christie
41:57down the left
41:58Ganondorf
41:58has looked bright
41:59and obviously
42:00you've got Shanklin
42:01and Adams
42:02both on the score sheet
42:04and look pretty solid
42:05defensively
42:06so yeah
42:07the cynics can say
42:08what they want
42:09this has been a good
42:10performance for Scotland
42:16Miguelito
42:21back to their full complement
42:22now Villamil has
42:24returned to the fray
42:25and he's on the ball
42:26now
42:29Fernandes
42:32is going to blow
42:33the whistle
42:33it's an advantage
42:34for Bolivian
42:34which they haven't
42:35taken
42:35but
42:36it's bringing it
42:37back by the looks
42:38of it
42:39to see
42:40if a player gets
42:41a shot away
42:42when an advantage
42:43has been given
42:44surely that's the
42:45advantage
42:45yeah I mean
42:46it felt like
42:47he had the advantage
42:48he's decided to
42:49take the shot on
42:50the angle's not great
42:50and the execution
42:52is poor
42:52he had an opportunity
42:53to cross it
42:54free
42:55he was in time
42:56and space
42:56to cross it
42:57yeah I think
42:58that was
42:59correct initially
43:00from the referee
43:00to let play go on
43:02surprise he's
43:03brought it back
43:04I have to say
43:12well what a week
43:13it's going to be
43:13what a few weeks
43:14it's going to be
43:16whether you're a
43:16Scotland supporter
43:18out in the States
43:19at the games
43:20and enjoying the
43:21party atmosphere
43:22that there will be
43:23in Boston
43:24and in Miami
43:25or you're back home
43:26you're watching games
43:28down the bar
43:29in the pub
43:31or at a fan zone
43:32at a big event
43:34it's been 28 years
43:36and everyone's
43:36just going to have
43:37to make the
43:37absolute most of it
43:38because you don't
43:39know when it's
43:39going to come
43:40around again
43:41absolutely
43:41and let's hope
43:42the players do
43:42as well
43:44I've just seen
43:44that back there
43:45I didn't think
43:45it was a foul
43:48free kick will be
43:49taken by Tome
43:57it's a congested
43:59area between the
43:59penalty spot
44:00the six yard line
44:01Angelito hits it
44:05and all comes to
44:06nothing
44:08and I guess
44:08justice was done
44:09there
44:10yeah but it's
44:11I mean good
44:11situations to be in
44:13where you haven't
44:13to go and defend
44:14these set plays
44:14it is all about
44:16preparation
44:18as much as you
44:18don't really want
44:19to be facing them
44:20normally
44:20it keeps you sharp
44:23dealt with once again
44:43it's got the most
44:44recent game against
44:45South American
44:46opposition was against
44:47the Peruvians
44:492018
44:50James Clark
44:51of the
44:51coaching setup
44:53for that one
44:53there's an end
44:55of season
44:55double header
44:56and another one
44:56of those
44:56where you're
44:57warming other
44:57sides up
44:58that was for
44:58the 2018
45:00World Cup
45:03most in the
45:03Azteca as well
45:05there's Ganondol
45:06in Scotland
45:07looking for number
45:08four before the
45:09break
45:09Adams to his
45:10left
45:10he's on to it
45:11Shea Adams
45:13second chance
45:15is four
45:25an absolutely
45:27remarkable first
45:28half here in New
45:29Jersey
45:31for the
45:32Scotland team
45:36a week before
45:37the greatest show
45:39on earth
45:39they're putting on
45:42what is happening
45:43here honestly
45:44Ben Ganondol
45:45terrific drive and
45:46run using his
45:47speed
45:47not only that
45:48that little delay
45:49sets Shea Adams
45:50away
45:51he probably
45:53takes a heavier
45:53first touch than
45:54he'd like when he
45:55cuts inside
45:55but he doesn't
45:56give it up
45:57and that's a
45:57wonderful finish
45:58but it's all about
45:59the power
46:00the drive and run
46:01from Ganondol
46:02and a lovely
46:03finish from Shea
46:04Adams
46:04and he's got a
46:06four mil up
46:06before half time
46:11Scotland have
46:11struggled to be
46:12four mil up at
46:13half time against
46:14the likes of the
46:15Faroes and
46:15San Marino
46:19footballing
46:19minnows
46:21yeah I mean
46:22it's quite amazing
46:24we keep saying
46:24how good the
46:25performance is
46:26and often you
46:27create chances
46:27and you're not
46:28taking them
46:28but they've been
46:29clinical
46:30they have been
46:30clinical
46:31really threatening
46:34and the variety
46:35and the chances
46:35created
46:36has been very
46:37impressive also
46:45genuinely Steve
46:46Clark could not
46:47have wished for
46:47this to go any
46:48better than it
46:49has
46:53and two goals
46:54for Shea Adams
46:55will do his
46:56confidence no harm
46:58at all
47:01there have been
47:02people questioning
47:03his inclusion in
47:04the team when he
47:04started
47:33that's it
47:37the Bolivians
47:38absolutely stunned
47:39and looking
47:39bereft of ideas
47:40and truth
47:47one back by
47:48Ferguson
48:00well you would
48:01imagine given the
48:02scoreline now
48:02Clark will be
48:03looking to get
48:04another couple
48:05from the bench
48:05on for the start
48:06of the second
48:07half
48:07I think that
48:08would have been
48:09the plan anyway
48:09I think it would
48:10have been
48:10players to play
48:12first half
48:13and the subs
48:14to come on
48:14for the second
48:15half
48:15to make sure
48:17they're fit and
48:18ready so I don't
48:19think there will
48:20be any reaction
48:21to the scoreline
48:21possibly protect
48:23one or two
48:24that he maybe
48:25didn't plan for
48:26but I think
48:27substitutions would
48:28have been planned
48:28anyway
48:31what a game to come
48:32on to
48:33yeah
48:34they better switch
48:35though
48:36and those
48:38close in by
48:39Fernandez
48:40and probably their
48:41best ball in this
48:41first half
48:42which is
48:43just about finished
48:44we've played the
48:45three minutes that
48:45were added on
48:49another example
48:50it's Ryan Christie
48:50getting back
48:51when you play
48:52that 4-4-2
48:52everybody focus
48:53on the strikers
48:54but the wide men
48:54have got such a job
48:55to do
48:55and defensively
48:56as well as
48:57attacking
48:58and I think
48:58Ganondorf and Christie
48:59have done that
49:00brilliantly
49:03just looking to see
49:04this corner out
49:06Miguelito
49:06is over it
49:08he's beating
49:09everyone
49:11the referee
49:13blows
49:15for half time
49:17and Scotland
49:18are making a bit
49:19of a statement
49:20here
49:21and suddenly
49:23some supporters
49:24who
49:26were rightly
49:27concerned about
49:28that Haiti game
49:29coming up next week
49:30which is so crucial
49:31to their
49:32hope
