England vs Scotland 18.6.21

[The Octagon]

Thought it was Scotland fans celebrating while Kane was being interviewed.

They were deliberately booing Kane, but who cares? Booing anti racist gestures is bellend territory no doubt, but fans booing a shit performance or opposition player for a laugh is fine.

 

[The39thStep]

Portugal or Germany if we win the group, Poland, Slovakia or Sweden if we finish second.

Second sounds good to me

 

[Badgers]

I love Robbo as a player but he needs to dial back his amphetamine habit

Yeah, you always boo the opposition captain/striker/star player.

 

[The39thStep]

Christiando Penaldo?

If he’s injured there’s always Bruno Penaltes

 

[littlebabyjesus]

True, but we'll do em, they're shite.

0-0 after 120 minutes, penalties, hope De Gea's in goal?

 

[Riklet]

Pretty boring as an England fan from what I saw (not whole game tbf). Scotland played well but a top team should have been able to wear them down with confidence and determination.

Definitely needed more pace and ingenuity not the classic old England kickaround.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Stoopid thing about this format is that a point is actually a good result for England. Good as through. Not enough jeopardy.

Anyhow you're allowed the odd dodgy performance in a tournament. Look at Portugal 2016.

 

[Ax^]

honest gate interview


why did you take of Kane this evening

"because he was fucking shite"

If only two went through then Czechia and England could play out a draw in the final match knocking both Scotland and Croatia out

 

[rekil]

Not sure I'd be celebrating quite as hard as the Scots are, if they can't beat us when we play like that they're stuffed.

Nah Scotland were magnificent. England were expected to play the game in the scottish half and eventually break them down and win 2 or 3 nil. Instead they were lucky not to lose. English midfield just too light. Too many dainty young number 10 types. Keane was right about Henderson. Why is he there if he's not fit.

 

[starfish]

The only problem now though is that we'll next get beaten by Croatia or draw & youse will beat Czechia or not but still qualify so no real big loss for you English.

 

[Ax^]

big reality check for the Sass tbf

It'll end up being some complicated depending on someone else's goal difference at the last minute scenario.

 

[starfish]

It hurts a bit when we stop youse scoring & dont take one of our few & far between chances.

Kind of proving my point there, we kept a clean sheet despite being abysmal.

Scotland were not magnificent. They were 100% better than England but couldn't even score and tested Pickford once (maybe twice) total.

Everyone's getting very carried away on both sides tbh.

 

[campanula]

Southgate has been woeful, Played friendlies with players who were not in the team, made awful team choices, surrounds himself with boring bland twats, lacks bottle...and was also wearing the most awful bizarre hybrid of a shirt/overcoat/mac I have ever seen. Deer in the headlights

 

[campanula]

Um, I think Scotland were on top of their game...but make of that what you want... England, however, have a bit more talent available but somehow failed to use any of it

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Croatia are in decline. Played well vs Czechia and England. Bright, organised and creating chances. Just need to put one away...

I'll admit, as one of the second-chance qualifiers, Scotland have been better than I thought they would be.

 

[not-bono-ever]

NovoKane

 

[tommers]

big reality check for the Sass tbf

He's Scottish isn't he? Probably quite happy.

 

[Rebelda]

I do love Wrighty when he's pissed off

Beat Croatia only to discover that every single third-placed team has got four points?

Get Big Sam in?

 

[not-bono-ever]

KEEGAN IN !

I don't know how the scoring works but it's ALWAYS some complicated last minute other people's goal difference scenario...

 

[not-bono-ever]

For Scotland anyway….

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I don't know how the scoring works but it's ALWAYS some complicated last minute other people's goal difference scenario...

Or it's a dodgy handball to deny Wales a place at the World Cup...

We always remember the injustices that go against us, not the ones that go our way.

 

[Rebelda]

Yous can all piss off, leave my Gareth alone.
