So, anyone looking forward to this game on Tuesday? I fear for us. I can see it being anyting between 4-0 and 7-0 (I guess that just leave 5-0 and 6-0 though). Scary stuff. |

I think we'll do ok for some strange reason. Think we'll play with a striker, but still very defensively, and limit things to one or two. If we're that defensive, I can see the spanish getting a goal or two, then stopping to play. No reason for them to push for more unless they're somehow concerned with goal difference, and if we're being too defensive, then why bother to entertain ince they've got what they came for. |

If I cared, I would fear it. But I don't. It's on in 3D in my local though, so I might watch it there just so I can add an extra dimension to my unimpressedness. |

Spain will only win 2-0, but that will be because they won't really be trying at any point. |

:angry: Weren't you the one leading the call for these kind of 'puns' to be punishable by banning? Besides, we're going to win, 2-1

David Villa seems to have been taking lessons from Chris Iwelumo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeHUjMinBDI I'm just hoping for a better performance than fridays and maybe even a couple of shots on target from Scotland, infact I'll settle for winning a corner. |

Was that even a pun? Outstanding sitter-misser from Villa there. Thanks. |

Sad, but true. Spain could put out 9 players, and they will win 2-0 at a canter. We will say that we have won back some pride by virtue of the fact we didn't get our arses handed to us on a silver salver, that the Corrie lad really belted out that awful Flower of Scotland with some impressive fireworks to follow, and that the magical "tartan army" kept with the players right to the end. |

I'm hoping for a bit more than 2-0, say 4-0 at jogging pace but like has been mentioned, for Spain to try against us would be like really trying to beat your 9 year old son in a kickabout. |

Really? Why? I'm plumping for a pumping. We'll probably keep it tight, possibly even score, but the relentless chasing and harrying will leave us very stretched for the last quarter of the game and some damage will be done. A three goal margin by the end. 3-0 or 4-1 (Miller). |

Levein says he's going tonattack anyway. Maybe trying to keep people onside. Sure we will still be too defensive for some people though . |

Well, attacking them is one way to roll the dice on Levein's future. Come out of it with a respectable score, and he regains a bit of respect. Come out of it getting repeatedly punished on the counter and he could be out. |
