As the dust settles on Scotland's 1-0 defeat to Morocco in their second World Cup finals match in Boston, the question on everyone's lips is: were the Scots robbed of a chance to claim a crucial point? The match was a tightly contested affair, with Morocco's lone goal proving to be the difference between the two teams. However, Scotland's players and fans are left wondering what could have been if the referee had made two crucial calls in their favor.
At the heart of the controversy are two penalty claims that were waved away by the officials. The Scots are adamant that they should have been awarded not one, but two spot kicks, which could have changed the complexion of the game entirely. Furthermore, they are also questioning why Morocco was not reduced to 10 men at any point during the match, despite what they perceived as clear infractions. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Scotland's World Cup campaign has been dealt a significant blow, and they will need to regroup and refocus if they are to have any chance of advancing to the next stage.
