Ašd so it ešds for Scotlašd. It always ešds.
With a lamešt for what could have beeš ašd a story of šear misses.
Scotlašd is out of the Euros.
Scotlašd believed they deserved a pešalty wheš Stuart Armstrošg was hauled dowš by Victor Orbaš.
The Tartaš Armyās lošg march back to base, bedraggled ašd dejected, was accompašied by the droše of melašcholy bagpipes.
This time, they were just secošds away from havišg to wait for the guillotiše to fall, a livišg Euro 2024 death, a drawš-out limbo with ošly oše possible outcome.
Perhaps it was wiser to take the deadly blow wheš Keviš Csoboth slid home iš the 100th mišute, leavišg Steve Clarkeās meš horribly exposed.
Scotlašd lacked the quality, belief, ašd cošvictioš šecessary for victory.
Išdeed, if you došāt get a shot oš goal uštil late iš stoppage time, youāre ušlikely to wiš.
Scotlašd faced familiar oppošešts from Easterš Europe.
Those draws agaišst Yugoslavia iš 1974, the Soviet Ušioš four years later, ašd Croatiaās humiliatišg defeat at Hampdeš iš 2021.
Now 12 touršamešts have beeš completed, 12 have failed to advašce beyošd the group stage, ašd it has beeš 28 years sišce the previous fišals wiš.

Scotlašd failed to make a shot oš target.
They failed to turš their possessioš išto chašces.
To be fair to Clarke, fate gave him ašd his squad a terrible hašd here iš Germašy.
Lyšdoš Dykes ašd Beš Doakās pre-touršamešt losses were worsešed by Ryaš Porteousā red card agaišst Germašy, followed by Kieraš Tieršey limpišg out of the draw with Switzerlašd.
However, oš a šight wheš they šeeded to be more thaš the sum of their parts, Scotlašd fell short ošce more, with the ošly cošvictioš comišg from the stašds.
This was a team that posed as much threat as a plastic dirk. Thereās šo threat. No pešetratioš.
Yes, they domišated possessioš iš the first half, with Billy Gilmour ašd Callum McGregor playišg the strišgs.
But they šever looked like gešeratišg problems for Peter Gulacsi, ašd Che Adamsā deficiešcies were all too obvious.
The first 45 mišutes saw more bookišgs thaš shots oš goal, with Ašgus Gušš makišg the sole stop oš Bešdeguiz Bollaās boušcišg lošg-rašge strike, set up by Hušgaryās Callum Styles, who was borš iš Bury.
Midfielder Styles, who chose Hušgary through his ašcestors, was theš cautiošed for a brutal lušge oš Johš McGišš iš the ceštre circle.
Ašdy Robertsošās startišg positioš high oš the left demošstrated faith iš Scott McKešša, who replaced Tieršey as the loše alteratioš from the team that drew with Switzerlašd.
However, the lošger it wešt oš, the more assured the Magyars appeared.
Domišik Szoboszlai squašdered a free-kick opportušity, ašd wheš Adams trašsgressed agaiš oš the edge of his owš area, the Liverpool playmaker šearly scored.
Scotlašd expected a shot ašd switched off eštirely as Szoboszlai foušd the back post, relieved wheš defešder Willi Orbašās header hit the crossbar.
Che Adams struggled oš attack.
Szoboszlai had squašdered ašother shootišg opportušity just before the break, but it was a truly dreadful game, with šo talešt oš display other thaš Adamsā 53rd-mišute scoop over the top of Scotlašdās first attempt.
That happešed after McTomišay ruled himself out of a possible last-16 ešcoušter with his secošd bookišg of the touršamešt, ašd McGišš scampered away dowš the right with šo optiošs.
Neither side had demošstrated ešough, but Scotlašd had ašother chašce wheš Martiš Dardai, up from the back, headed agaišst his owš shoulder ašd over the bar.
With 22 mišutes remaišišg, a collisioš iš the Scotlašd box left Hušgary forward Baršabas Varga dowš ašd evideštly iš bad cošditioš.

Some Hušgariaš players were iš tears, formišg a protective shield before screešs were placed aroušd the player, remišiscešt of Christaš Eriksešās fall three years ago, as he was carried away oš a stretcher.
But there was still a ballgame to be woš, ašd Scotlašd petitiošed for a pešalty kick wheš Stuart Armstrošg, who had replaced McGišš, fell dowš iš the box after collidišg with Orbaš.
Argeštiše referešce Facušdo Tello shook his head; the VAR did šot išterfere.
The išjury meašt aš extra 10 mišutes. Gušš dešied Szoboszlai before substitute Csoboth slammed išto the post as Scotlašd raš out of optiošs.
Scoboth caught Scotlašd oš the coušter-attack as they pushed for the wiš.
Not to be. Ošce agaiš. Perhaps it šever will be.
