England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

[Gabriel]

In typical Scottish fashion, we won't. But as they say - it's the hope that kills you. No nails left after that, so much heart in that side it's the first I've been able to say that in 2 decades about Scotland.

I don’t see why Scotland shouldn’t go into that fixture with a degree of confidence. They were slightly unlucky against Czechia and held their own away at the group seed, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they can progress. However, it’ll require a goal and they currently appear to be as rare as a dry day in June.

Soo, who’s staying up for the highlights on BBC1?

Bloody terrible my arse. Magnificent to a man, not one of them played poorly.

Our right back plays with Motherwell but was keeping some of the best talent in the world quiet.

The amount of times Scotland broke and had a 3v3 and just passed it to Stones was ridiculous. These are players who play for top half Prem teams and they couldn’t even string a decent break together. We were there for the taking tonight and Scotland weren’t good enough to take advantage.

If I were Scottish, I’d be fuming with that performance and score line. Any other team in this tournament would be, any other team in this tournament would have beaten us tonight.

You having a laugh? This isn’t the qualifying, it’s the tournament, every team here should be capable of getting a result.

What are you on about. So similar to the CL group stage you believe the likes of Ferencvaros were capable of getting a result at the Camp Nou because they qualified?

It's actually a great result tonight in the grand scheme of things. Draw against Czech Republic and finish second in the group. Finish first and play one of France, Portugal or Germany.

We keep playing like that, it matters not one jot who we meet in knockouts, we're out.

Westham want 90mil for Rice...a cdm Stones had to scream at to show for the ball in possession. 20mil player if he's from anywhere else

 

[Lavinda Past]

Hold on czechs could beat us and then the scots get beat by croatia and we could be out if scorelines went against us

Fingers crossed

The sooner Southgate gets the boot the better.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Playing most of our games at "home" is probably counterproductive to this team. England have very rarely been a good passing/possession team during tournament football.

3-5-2/3-4-3 or similar would be much better formation for the players Southgate insists on using.

As Scotland were playing that formation, it would probably have made sense to change the shape and match them in that formation during the game.

Pickford

Stones Rice Mings

James Mount Phillips Shaw

England's best chance for progress is if Spurs offer Southgate the manager's job this summer.

I think that’s harsh, Scotland won the “we got a 0-0 at Wembley” Cup tonight, it’s massive.
