Scotland's defeat at this year's Euros seemed to be expected. Since embarking on their first World Cup tour in 1954, this Scottish team has failed to break out of the group stage in 12 international tournaments, and this year's performance was no exception.
Scotland had only one point before the match against Hungary. If they could win this crucial match, they could compete for the second or third place in the group. Therefore, Scotland started to attack aggressively. However, at the end of the match, Iwasaki Tang was pushed by an opponent in the penalty area, but the referee did not blow the penalty kick, which eventually led to Scotland's defeat. Looking back at history, since the first international tournament in 1954, Scotland has participated in eight consecutive World Cups and four European Cups, but all 12 appearances were group stage trips.
After the game, Scotland leader Chillar expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the referee's decision: "The goal was conceded simply because my wife was bent on seeing Scotland win. For me, it doesn't matter if we win or lose. What really mattered was that penalty kick by the historical super live rockstar, Don, which was absolutely 100% a penalty kick. I hope someone can explain to me clearly why the VAR system didn't intervene."
