ENGLAND
England started off their Euro 2020 campaign with a win over Croatia, quite a comfortable win in the end, scrappy in parts but always looked like taking the 3 points. England actually started that game really well and looked like they were going to score a few but I think the heat took its toll, along with Croatia gaining a bit of a foothold in the game which slowed England down for a while. Kalvin Phillips was excellent in the centre of the park and surprised many, he was actually more of a box-to-box player as opposed to a pure number 6. Sterling got his first goal in a major international tournament. Will Southgate tinker with the side? I suspect he will. In terms of injuries, Dean Henderson has had to withdraw from the squad, replaced with Ramsdale.
Euro 2020 goal scorers:
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) - 1
Starting XI v Croatia:
SCOTLAND
What to say about Scotland? They’ve now left themselves with a really difficult task. They can still go through if they don’t get anything here but it’s going to be really difficult. The most frustrating thing for them is that they were capable of getting something versus the Czech Republic, but their finishing was terrible and they were killed off with a wonder goal. I think they need to try and get at least a point from this game, it could get tasty. If I was them, I wouldn’t play that right back; O’Donnell is it? He was shit. As was Dykes, the striker and McTominay was shite as well.
No goal scorers so far.
