What's up with the sound quality in the Beeb's indoor studio? Feels a bit echoey and almost as if they're in a cupboard

- BBC One Network: James McFadden, Steve Bower
- BBC One Scotland: Liam McLeod, Neil McCann
- BBC Radio 5 Live: Ali Bruce-Ball, Pat Nevin
- BBC Radio Scotland: Alasdair Lamont, Steven Thompson, Leanne Crichton
- BBC Radio nan Gàidheal: Callum and Alasdair? (I can't make out Gaelic surnames)

Plus, they weren't afraid to admit to being nervous as Scotland fans!
I'm sure Ali and Pat on 5 Live were good too.
Obviously you want to watch the match whenever you can, but if you need to listen then the BBC's radio coverage has so much passion and energy. It's really very good.

The only way to access these games is via signing up for at least a month at the cost of at least $79! For context, previous rights holders ESPN's streaming option (ESPN+) is $9.99 a month, and the Spanish streaming option in the US, Vix, is $6.99 a month.
And to add insult to injury, on Saturday, FOX Sports 1 showed angling over Hungary v. Switzerland. And, as I think we have gathered by the virtue of different broadcasters having differing scoreboards, the core world feed doesn't carry a scoreboard burnt in, so Fubo viewers were without a clock and score for the whole game. Farcical.

If BBC Scotland had done entirely seperate coverage I'd find it fair enough, but the network commentary would likely have been as much as Scotland-focused as BBC Scotland's, bar Steve Bower not actually being Scottish. The previous time this type of operation occured (Wales v. England at the World Cup) I could see a bit more merit in it, but then again the network commentary tried to be balanced with a Welsh voice alongside the English
