England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

Scotland have three good players in Robertson, Tierney, and McGinn, but the others are too inconsistent or too young to make their mark this time. A recognized goal scorer continues to elude Scotland, but so too does pace, and at the international level that tends to be cruelly exposed.

For me at least this tournament has been marred by the awful commentating and studio punditry. A game kicks off at 7pm but coverage starts at 6pm…why?
Why do we have to have an hour of the same old faces wheeling out the same old tired soundbytes before the game?
Ratboy Snivel sits there in the warmth and comfort of the tv studio and lectures a watching audience of perhaps millions and millions on what Roberto Mancini needs to do in order to win the game…absolutely incredible, absolutely mind-bendingly incredible! And Mark Pougach sits there nodding vigorously in agreement as if the rat-faced mutant had uttered something so deeply profound, something so wonderfully beneficial to the game of football, that we mere mortals are left wondering why the Sniveler isn’t being buried alive under the mountains of Nobel prizes he’s been awarded.

Ian Wright seems more interested in pursuing his Cockney ‘geezer about town’ persona than adding any kind of analysis to the game we’re watching, like he’s auditioning for a role in some upcoming tv drama starring Danny Dyer and ‘Twitcher’ Redknapp as a couple of lovely down-to-earth cockernee wide boys.
Meanwhile Roy (‘Fuck me! My bonce is suddenly the same size as Canterbury Cathedral and yet my body has seemingly been replaced by that of a banjo string) Keane is sitting there glowering and snarling at everyone as if he’s weighing up whether or not to just say: ‘Fuck this for a career choice, I’m going to allow my violent mood swings to have their day out in the sun and kick fuck out of that 2nd cameraman on the left, over there.’

And still Pougach sits there trying to convince everybody he’s on top of things by continuing to hang on to every word the Sniveler utters, but really all he’s doing is looking like fucking Danny DeVito’s ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ character: bewildered, confused, and looking like he hasn’t got a fucking clue what planet he’s currently co-existing on.

You failed to.mention the endless stream of female.commentators / co commentator/ pundit.
I have no idea who they are and how come they are all cockney accents or that gangsta cockney?

Good team. Great midfield. I would have Foden for Rashford provided Phil plays how he really can.

I would add Billy Gilmour to your 3. Plus Alex Jackson, James Dunn, Hughie Gallacher, Alex James, Alan Morton, and Jimmy McMullan (captain)
Pickford might end up with a bad back though.

Gilmour’ s time will come but he’s too young and light to build a team around quite yet; it’s easier at Chelsea because they simply have better midfielders around him.
The Wizards team consisted predominantly of Anglos, with only Harkness, Dunn, and Morton plying their trade in Scotland, and while today’s team has plenty Anglos, too, they’re unfortunately not playing at the highest level. Perhaps by the next Euros the younger Scottish talent at English clubs will have come through (e.g. Fiorini and Smith).
I suspect Pickford is more likely to be bothered by ennui than lumbago tonight.

I’m currently stopped for a break at Tebay services and there are loads of Sweaties on the way down to London.

Kilts and thongs seem to be the order of the day..

In the 70s they would come down for several days beforehand often turning up in out of the way pubs nowhere near Wembley.
Washing took away drinking time and it was 'orrible working as a steward amongst the smelly bastards. They would piss in crisp packets and lob them backwards onto their own countrymen. One pissed in a beercan and nearly circumcised himself.
I am a tiny bit cynical about the romantic image the BBC are painting.

was talking about the invasion of the sweaties and where are most going to watch it? can't see them setting up fan zones for 20000 pissed up jocks to spread covid about...
 
The game will be a lot closer than some people think, the jocks will be bang up for it and will rattle England.
I'm fearing tomorrow's headlines, look how rangers fans reacted to no screen to watch the game in Manchester, 20k minimum ticketless fans on the piss all day, nowhere to go, what could possibly go wrong.
 
Not been this up for a none City game since Croatia in 2018. Out with the Mrs and kids this morning and then pub about 3. Football's coming Home.

It's totally different these days.

They are all workshy fop dillettants like @Magicpole. They spend their time in wine bars discussing art, philosophy and how much their houses have gone up.

It will be closer than some think as they will be like a combination of ourselves and the dippers closing down like maniacs and flying into tackles. The cooler weather and rain will suit them.

I have no idea why they are allowing 20,000 to travel down. No fan zones, pubs are mainly full anyway with locals due to social distancing, what are they going to do? I remember the wankers wrecking Manchester, after that I wouldn't welcome them anywhere.
