The Scottish national team is a participant in the very first international football match in history, which took place exactly 150 years ago. Last year, the team performed unsuccessfully at Euro 2020, where they failed to pass the group stage, while extracting only one point in the game against England. By the way, the team made it to the final stage of this tournament for the first time since 1996. At the stage of the group stage of qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar, Steve Clark’s wards recorded seven wins and two peaceful outcomes in ten rounds, which brought 23 points and second place in the standings. The national team played brilliantly in the last five rounds, in which the “tartan army” managed to win all five matches, but this was not enough to take the first position. The Danish team was ahead of the Scots by four points. In the last three rounds, today’s hosts beat the Faroe Islands (1:0), Moldova (2:0) and Denmark (2:0) in turn. Today McLean, Marshall, Nisbet, Patterson, Tierney, Gilmour and Frazier, who has a byrd injury, will not be able to take part in the fight.
The Chicago White Sox is trying not to let the leaders of the American League into the lead too much and with a win percentage of 0.500 is still in seventh place, but does not have stability in performances. Wards of Tony La Russa could not beat the Boston Red Sox at home in the series (3:1, 7:16, 1:5 and 5:4) and spent a lot of energy on these confrontations. In the first game in Canada, Lucas Giolito (3:1), who has a good record for the season, will come out as a pitcher from the White Socks.
