Even if you're looking to cut Maloney some slack, you wouldn't take him over Naismith for that role in a serious game, I guess it's just a friendly reshuffle as there are a few changes elsewhere too.

 

[YoungWolf]

I think they have generally been:

Naismith Maloney Anya

Fletcher

?

Maloney and Naismith interchangeable.

 

[Alan]

I can see playing something like

Fletcher

Anya - Maloney - Naismith

if all were on form.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Youngie.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

If Ritchie beds in well at this level then i'd fancy him to steal Maloney's spot.

 

[Alan]

Maloney's 32 now anyway so hard to think he'll be involved at the level for much longer.

 

[YoungWolf]

You'd like to think so, he's excellent.

Is Stuart Armstrong in the squad? I'm surprised to have not seen him playing for them as whenever I've watched him he's been very good.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I've got a lot of time for Strachan's Scotland side, they play some lovely stuff at times.

Yup. When they beat us in Nov, it was possibly the best performance I've ever seen from them barring the Brazil opener in France 98

 

[Alan]

More excellent play from Altidore to create a goal for former Aarhus man Aron Johannson. US up 2-1 completely against the run of play.

 

[Alan]

Australia leading Germany 2-1 apparently. Weird result if it lasts.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Naismith unlucky with a header there after a nice move.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Scotland are pretty impressive these days. That's why I was so pleased England did a proper number on them, I realise it's cool to constantly blart on about how rubbish we are but that was a real challenging task and we flew through it.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

The Germans have equalised with 10 left to play.

 

[Alan]

Bendtner hat trick and the US get a deserved roasting.

 

[Tredman]

Bendtner hat trick and the US get a deserved roasting.

Fuck, either the world ends tomorrow or the U.S. are really really bad.

 

[Alan]

We were shit. I mean, really, truly awful.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Berra scores for Scotland.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Goal machine...

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Defender on the post has had a mare.

 

[Alan]

Get in!

 

[Lord Knows]

France vs Brazil first twenty minutes, Brazil full backs playing as full backs, nil nil so far.
