England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

So if we lose to the Czechs and Scotland or Croatia win by two or three goals we're out.
I don't want to sound alarmist, but I actually thought Scotland played well against the Czech Republic and lost due to a great header and a world-class finish, when the goalie was stood too far out. Plus, I also felt they were the better team tonight.

So when I read that possible scenario, I felt a little chill. Mainly because 25 years ago, when England had that one mega-performance (4:1) v Netherlands, was it not the one Holland goal, that put Scotland out?

So us losing to the Czechs would not surprise me (after tonight), and although Scotland beating Croatia 3:0 sounds far-fetched, football is a funny old game and if that score dumped England out, imagine the motivation it would give the Jocks and their fans. Is it in Glasgow?
 
I'm not going to dispute the fact that it wasn't a great performance. I'm just saying that it's more advantageous to finish second in the group than it is to finish first in the group.
It’s a good call until you realise that we are saying we need to get a lesser team to have any chance.

You’d always take the easier team to get further, just to save energy for the next round. Here though, is us being desperate to get a lesser team.

Malt Whisky is really good after bringing a reality check to our southern pals.



Somebody had to.

No charge. This one's on me.
You were far too pessimistic before the game. You should have known what England would be like under the waistcoat.
Hey guys, lets play dead slow and make no mistakes.
Scotland at least tried to make something of what they had.
I shall have a Talisker now.
 
If they’d won then fine, but they didn’t. You say it like we are fucking Brazil, we aren’t, we are shite.
They've just been battered at home against a poor Czech team and England are a tournament favourite. The vast majority expected a comfortable England win but fair play to them. They have every right to enjoy the night.
