Disaster Index: 6.8 Entry: The Evidence Has Been Entered Cause: Public and pundit consensus forming around a specific phrase — "not good enough" — in the period immediately following group-stage elimination. Category: Structural Evidence: The question is no longer whether Scotland underperformed. It is whether the underperformance was a result of circumstance or composition. Pundits and supporters are using the same phrase independently. When the diagnosis converges, it tends to be correct. Historical precedent: The phrase "not good enough" last entered general circulation with this degree of unanimity in the period following the 1998 group stage. It was accurate then. The record notes the recurrence. Affected parties: The squad, the manager, the support, and the longer-term planning infrastructure of Scottish football. Immediate outlook: The Index records consensus, not verdict. The distinction matters less than it used to. Filed: 2026-06-25 / Post-group stage
