World Cup: Scotland's Wait Is Over
6/14/202631 min
Scotland's first World Cup match in 28 years ends with a win.
Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith react to a huge 1-0 victory over Haiti alongside former Scotland international Charlie Adam, who talks about what the result means and whether Steve Clarke's side can build on a dream start to the tournament.
They also look back on Brazil's opening match against Morocco and ask whether Brazil still carry the same aura they once did. Who are the stars carrying this team and where do they sit among the tournament favourites?
And Qatar pick up their first ever World Cup point, Switzerland benefit from a major offside controversy after the semi-automated system failed, and Rick and Lloyd report back from a trip to the legendary Gold's Gym in Los Angeles.

Stay locked in from brewing morning coffee to burning the midnight oil. Get maximum performance even when unplugged. Finally, the freedom to move across the room or across the world is here. Snapdragon, that's how.

Hello, and welcome to The Football Daily with me, Rick Edwards, and my little friend Lloyd. We are back in Santa Monica after our Inglewood excursion yesterday. If you hear any loud noises, that is because we're outside Ye Olde King's Head. It's a Saturday night. We've already had a party bus. You saw a fire engine.
