I’ve never been this confident about a game in a major championship."https://twitter.com/Amy__Macdonald/status/1406049734758916104 In the aftermath of the game, Scotland fans have been keen to highlight this bold and badly aged prediction, and who can blame them?

If you're not allowed to get carried away after a win, what is the point in following the game?
