Disaster Index: 5.1 Entry: The Goalkeeper Question, Pre-Haiti Cause: Scotland entering their opening World Cup fixture without confirmed goalkeeper selection, with three credible candidates and no settled answer. Category: Administrative / Emotional Evidence: Gordon, Gunn, and Kelly each carry a legitimate claim. The debate is live at forty-eight hours to kick-off. Scotland's last World Cup goalkeeper was Jim Leighton in 1998. Historical precedent: Selection uncertainty in the final days before a tournament opener has preceded three of Scotland's last five early eliminations. Affected parties: The goalkeeper who starts; the two who do not; the country, which has opinions. Immediate outlook: A decision will be made. The Index records that it had not yet been made when this entry was filed.
