smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 England are almost playing this as if it was a friendly. The only positive is we look like and we have created a few chances. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,940 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It's been a lively first half. Both teams creating chances, very little between them. Interesting to see what changes Southgate makes, think he needs to do something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Fairly even first half. Competitive, but lots of passing sideways and backwards from England. I'd stick Grealish on for the second half. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Hmm. Oddly similar to the Croatia game. England started very brightly and looked dangerous early on, creating a few good chances. Problem is we faded as the half went on and Scotland came back into the game, caused us a few problems. Brilliant save from Pickford to keep it 0-0. Southgate's gonna have to make some changes 2nd half. Bring on Grealish maybe? Think we might need his ability to draw fouls, for a free-kick or penalty. We can't afford to give Scotland time and space to play as we did in the last 15 or so minutes, otherwise they will punish us. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Cudos to Scotland for playing the ball on the ground .. England must change something, if they want to win this game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Kane is playing purely for his reputation. He's contributed very little tonight. I'd sub him off at half time, but Gareth will play it safe and keep him on. Scotland will be pleased with their work. I don't think England will be. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,940 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Btw Scotland's midfield has done better than Croatia's .. just saying 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They should be dictating the game but seem to be giving Scotland far to much respect.. Wonder if England players already think they have qualified and holding back. Link to post Share on other sites

Still able to type at least. 😁 Pundits just made a reference to Euro 96 (re the half time score) - better have another gulp. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Well that was poor! A few good spells but giving Scotland far too much respect. Link to post Share on other sites

Not as much as I'd like but it's going pretty steady! These boys not shouting about it coming home isn't helping me though 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Scotland will tire in the second half. Bring on Grealish, it'll be game over for them Link to post Share on other sites
