Re: Scotland v England.
Will be an interesting game, seeing how we fair against them. This current Scotland team under SC is the best we've seen in decades. 15 pts from our first 5 games and England just dropped 2pts against Ukraine, reckon we'll get at least a draw on Tues.

Re: Scotland v England.
It will indeed be interesting to see how far we have come in relation to how far they have developed. We usually raise our game against them anyway but we have managed to find a way to play better against other countries too.

Re: Scotland v England.
Let's get it right. We were dominated for most of that game.The quality England had on show was frightening at times,especially Bellingham.Sheer class.We hardly laid a glove on them which was so dissapointing.Ach well at least Germany is on the horizon.Isnt it???.

Re: Scotland v England.
England were better than us but individual errors were involved in all 4 goals.
Porteous tried to play Rashford offside but played him on by not lining up with the rest of
the defence and then we don’t defend Walker particularly well.
Robbo made a good interception but had nowhere to go with it & probably didn’t realise how quickly Bellingham was ghosting in so in trying to pass it with his weaker foot made a cods of it.
Maguire scores an avoidable og (our best passage of attacking play forced the error though).
Christie didn’t do enough to pressurise Bellingham and tackled him like a statue, which prevented MacGregor from being able to do anything, Tierney doesn’t close him down quick enough and Robbo arguably should have been goal side of Kane.
However having said all of that… for all England’s early possession they didn’t trouble us until they opened the scoring and we looked relatively comfortable. When we upped the tempo we caused them problems including our goal. Southgate reacted to that by making substitutions that disrupted our new found momentum which swung control back to them.
All in all they are still a better side than us, with better strength in depth and will rightly be one of the favourites in Germany but we are moving in the right direction.
