Bad own goal. Not euro but funny. Haiti goalkeeper has gone viral for arguably the worst own goal ever scored vs Canada

Sorry for the interrupting, but for me its a yes, although what happens when they play each other? That's when your true inner self can make the call for you.

England took part in the dismemberment of Yugoslavia only for the reason they knew they would get an muscat whopping in the future tournaments.Still even my little Croatia made some significant wins against you.

I suggest you look up the definition of self importance.

Back to the football...............................

I reckon Scotland will give a decent account of themselves for the first sixty minutes or so but will eventually get over run and overwhelmed by a more skilful and energetic England side. Predicting 3-1 to England but would love to be proved wrong.
Come on Scotland!

Only the English could make Scotland look like Brazil. Southgate is the most unadventurous manager I've seen apart from Mourinho, playing two holding midfielders against shite teams. What does Sterling have to do to get subbed? He was pus all game and still stays on and, as soon as you put two players on who might actually get the ball to the centre forward, he takes Kane off. Nice guy and says all the right things in press conferences, never upsets anyone, but Gareth has NFI and has to go surely.

To think that I gave up two hours of sleep to watch that rubbish. :shock:

Scots did well to hold out for the whole game although Sterling might have had a penalty.

Did Kane get a kick for the whole game? Grealish should have come on earlier.

Con you are too kind on England , 90 minutes and apart from Stones header from a corner and Mount long range shot , absolutely nothing .

I agree with NOC on playing two DM all game , what was the thinking behind that ?

England were slow and ponderous and Scotland created the best chances .

Kane doesn’t look fit and Sterling was hopeless .

The midfield build up play was almost non existent , just a succession of passes across the back lines , the first thought was always the defensive safe option . Let’s be honest Scotland created more chances .

have a look at the date....I was referring to Scotland's first game....and yes...i watched the game and no, im not trolling....

England have an identity crisis......their 'playing DNA' is in contradiction to how the players and fans want them to play...

It was clearly on the 1st game and yes I watched it.

Mind you Scotland improved on the first game effort unlike England who turned in a lifeless performance .

Would hope that was a dig at England and not the Scots, I'm sure if we had someone like Kane up front we would be more adventurous. If Southgate is running scared against an average (not shite as has been suggested) Scottish team then how will they cope against the more fancied nations, and in particular Belgium and France? England are still a decent side but I'm unsure if they have learnt from past experiences in major tournaments. If Southgate lets the shackles off and plays to their strengths they still pose a threat, if they play it cagey like against us Scots they have no chance.

And yes, the Portugal v Germany game was a cracker, though GIAE will ask if you actually watched it? :grin:

Actually best chances in the England v Scotland game fell to Scotland , England didn’t create anything decent in the match ,

No need to panic. Henderson & McGuire are fit again now so we can leave Grealish, Foden, Bellingham & Sancho on the bench. Go 3 at the back, 5 defensive in mid, pull Kane in deep and knock it long to sterling, praying at least one of his ricochets will be fortuitous. Keep the faith
