England vs. Czech Republic and Scotland vs. Croatia both start at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. UK time). England expects; Scotland expects the worst.
I don’t know why but this group has a slightly different feel about themI’m trying to be optimistic but failing miserably .
This is just such an odd situation. Did he not spend similar time in locker rooms with teammates? Tunnels tighter spaces than rooms? All feels really shady.I guess it’s because the two English players spent up to 25mins in the tunnel talking to Gilmour. Close contact/ time of contact etc.
yep. English press and talking heads having a field day over it. Lots of questions.This is just such an odd situation. Did he not spend similar time in locker rooms with teammates? Tunnels tighter spaces than rooms? All feels really shady.
Will a 1-0 win be enough?I’m swinging from thinking Scotland might eek out a narrow 1:0 result to thinking they will get horsed 0:3 and we really never stood a chance. I flip-flop every minute.
Yeah, cos Finaland and Ukraine both have 3 points from 3 games and finished 3rd in their respective groups.Will a 1-0 win be enough?
Maybe we're due. Maybe it's our time.I’m swinging from thinking Scotland might eek out a narrow 1:0 result to thinking they will get horsed 0:3 and we really never stood a chance. I flip-flop every minute.
I'm excited to see Saka too. I actually think Foden has been pretty poor in the first two games and I'm interested in seeing how this lineup does with Saka in a more attacking role, along with Grealish/Kane/Sterling.I am happy to see Bukayo Saka getting a start. He absolutely outclassed Slavia Prague in an Arsenal 4-0 victory in April. Saka played right-wing that day and the left-back for Slavia Prague was Jan Bořil, who got subbed-off at halftime.
Today, looks like Saka is lining up on the right wing and facing that very same left-back, Jan Bořil.

ESPN should offer a split screen with both games. But nooooooooI know they have to but, I hate that the games are played at the same time.
Does this make me an entitled fan?
Yes.Are Scotland the only one of the 24 who has not scored a goal?
He doesn’t have much to work with as far as forwards. When was the last time they had a “ poacher”If we go out of this tournie without scoring a goal I want Clarke to step down. Cos this is turgid football from the Scots.
