CyderInACan Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’m quite looking forward to this as it goes. Standard has improved massively over recent years and an Auld Enemy clash to kick off our tournament should be a decent watch. England def favourites but who knows on the night, in a tournament that we’re expected to do well in 5pm ko and live on BBC1 - who’s going to be watching? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48570122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yeah I will be. Scotland are no pushovers so will hopefully be a competitive affair. I love the physicality of the women's team too, compared to a lot of the other nations we really get stuck in and it makes for great viewing.
