England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 UEFA EURO 2020 Group D kick off 2000 ITV 1/ STV / ITV Hub / STV Player

[Rick O Shea]

He was pretty good for a youngster. Didn't start well but grew into it.

This. He's going to be very good for Scotland (and Chelsea, I suppose). As the game developed you could see his confidence grow - he was looking for the forward pass first and if it wasn't, he recycled it. The England midfield seemed to do the opposite - took the 'safe' option as the default.

How many of those teams were managed/coached by an Englishman?

Tactically we are very poor, once Scotland got men behind the ball we didn't know what to do and no real changes were made by the coaching team.

Does our national team need to be managed by an Englishman?

Mental to think Foden for a haircut specifically for this game and couldn’t get the better of a Motherwell defender.

Well that’s it then, that’s his level.

From what I read at the weekend
It’s
Goal difference then
Head to head then
Disciplinary records in tournament then
FIFA rankings

England's first two performances have really taken the wind out of my sails.

Seeing teams like Hungary and Switzerland really having a go, Italy attacking at speed, the Germans playing we'll etc and then us, a team many of us really believe has a great set of players, and we're being really cautious and not playing to their attacking and creative strengths.

Hope it changes for the next match.

I still can't believe VAR didn't review the Sterling penalty appeal.

If they had done, they'd have had no choice but to give the penalty imo. People can argue it's soft, but he clearly catches him. It was clumsy.

No not at all, the point I made badly was the bloke we have in charge is no where near as good tactically as any of the coaches that got the English teams to the final of the Champions League.
Southgate is our weakest link.

To determine the best 3rd placed teams it’s goal difference first, but to separate teams in the group it’s H2H first. That’s how I read it anyway on the UEFA website

Couldn’t agree more, I don’t even think he’s fit to manage Sunderland tbh never mind England. If we had a top manager I think we’d be right up there with the favourites in this tournament as we have so much attacking potential in that squad

 

[gipetto]

England were robbed, we should have had a penalty.

Sterling dived, cheating bastard.

Aye just heard on the news there, let's hope he hasn't passed it on to his team members or any of our team FFS.

Do they not have to self isolate due to coming into close contact with an infected person. Or is that just for knackers like us?

No idea, I know he has to but hopefully with the match being outside we may be okay-fingers crossed

Did we even get that close to them Joking aside I hope the lad is okay.

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

A bit early for the expected kick in the baws but at least we know it’s coming.

No but we still end up with Sven or Capello.
