It seems that's fine for Czechs but was seen as a problem if he had to for us. Yep. I noticed that in the first game v Scotland and thought hmmmmm…..

He has Celuska and Boril to his right and left respectively and they are both experienced players. Here he had Rowe as an auxiliary full back and a rotation of different partners to his right but mostly relatively inexperienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 England's win the other day is looking a little less impressive after the first half here. Croatia not great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Team to play Scotland: Pickford, James, Stones, Mings, Shaw, Phillips, Rice, Foden, Mount, Sterling, Kane. Was hoping Grealish would of started. Come on England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I like about 3 teams going through is that pretty much every team has something riding on the last game. I am not so sure teams will play for a draw as there is still an incentive to get an easier second round tie… That's true- indeed there is a counterargument that as you say, every side has something riding on it. For sure though, IF say my hypothetical format was in play, then Austria v Ukraine would be a good match- yes really- as both sides would be going hell for leather, not only for the points but maybe aiming at GD to be one of the lucky runners up.

Game is good, the Business- bleh. Big club, decent sized football nation- not that you're wrong of course. To an Everton who should be under FFP sanctions based on their expenditure to revenue in recent times. Dominance of a few big Leagues is a sign of the times.

Perhaps then best to assert dominance with two physical players in Rice and Phillips and then as the game stretches find a way to accommodate Grealish.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 England should win tonight's game easily but that's not to say I don't give the Scots a chance. If they can get Tierney and Robertson in tandem down our right then an England team with the worst set of CBs it's ever gone into a tournament with may have to deal with a lot of crosses. Will they be up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTominay certainly isn’t lightweight but he’s playing centre back anyway. Gilmour has always looked quality when I’ve seen him so interesting to see how he does tonight at this level. Could be a tough game if we don’t score early but obviously we should win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I’m totally dreading this game. Scotland have a not bad team and all recent qualifiers or tournament matches against other home nation countries including Republic of Ireland have been really tough games where we’ve never played well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I think their non-performance in the first game will make Scotland even more determined. Our CBs and goalie are pretty unreliable so I think it could be harder than many pundits are suggesting. If the Scots score first I will get a bit nervous. Hoping we score two early goals and deflate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
