I suspect you are thinking of Argentina and Antonio Rattin.

Uruguay was a group game, 0-0, although I don’t recall anything else about the match itself, except that Bobby Charlton played well, probably .

Yes, I know about Rattin etc., but Uruguay were horrible too, anti football, shirt tugging time wasters.

Hence why Conway played in the championship this season and Scarlett league one, but equally Conway is the age group above him

Absolutely.

The difference is here;

He could play for England despite his caps for Scotland U21s.

If you follow the FIFA regulations through, which are based on a sovereign nation, anyone qualifying for any of the 4 home nations, plus Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and a bunch of other countries, qualifies for all of them regardless of any games played and in what tournaments.  So Conway could play for Scotland in the World Cup qualifiers, and when they fail to qualify again he could play for England in the World Cup Finals.

It is only a "gentleman's agreement" between the four nations and various other islands, territories etc which stops this happening.

Alex Scott could play for Wales too.

You've ruined my day and it's only 8:07am.

The thought of it...

Going off on a Conway tangent here...

He's brilliant at the side foot finish and very good in the air.

Can't think of any goals where he laced it? Or many shots where he's laced it. Does he have that Sheareresque power shot in his armoury?

I think Conway is very similar to Shearer in his teens/younger days.

I've not seen a power shot from Conway, but I never noticed Shearer having that in his younger days either (could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time).

Coincidentally Adrian Clarke said on the Totally Football Show podcast earlier in the season that Tommy reminded him of a young Shearer. So you are not alone!

[Davefevs]

Certainly not alone…remember calling him young Shearer quite early on, partly because of his game, but it also looks too.

As an aside, with Tunisia beating Iraq 3-0 I make it that it means England have qualified from their group for the knock out rounds with a game to spare.

England qualified after beating Uruguay.

I've not seen any team to be wary of tbh, including Argentina which the commentator is fawning over at the moment - had to switch off sound.

Was looking at being certain of top two, forgot a pile of 3rd finishers also qualify. Agree we are certainly in the mix but there is always a randomness playing in South America.

[Lrrr]

Expect as much rotation as we can in that last game then, give as many a rest before the knockout matches, wouldn't be shocked for Simons to come in for Scott, wouldn't be shocked for something like 

 

Beadle (If Cox rested)

Quansah.   Edwards.    Humphreys

Oyagoke                                                               Samuels

         Simons.      Gyabi/Scott(45 each)

Edozie.          Joseph

Jebbison/Delap

Do yellow cards get reset after group games?

Interesting interview with Alex Scott and a few others about the Uruguay game and it's atmosphere

Had a look at the FIFA website, nothing concrete either way 

I'd assume it's the same as any tournament football, that they do 

[Bristol Rob]

Just a reminder that England are playing Iraq this evening.

[Malago]

 Presuming we get at least the one point necessary to win the group, we will play Italy on Wednesday at 10 pm UK time in the last 16.

[Port Said Red]

I would have thought the idea of resting a couple, including Scotty must have crossed the minds of the coaches, the only problem being they are a bit limited in numbers until next week.

[bcfc01]

Scott rested for this game along with a few others.

Constantly amazes me what we have in common.

That makes sense as already qualified. He also has a booking. What are the rules? 2 yellow cards are a suspension? 

[bcfc01]

Crap performance so far.

Very slow, cumbersome, loads of passes around at the back.

Boring, had enough.

[Sleepy1968]

It's a bit of a difficult watch with qualification guaranteed and no Scott to cheer on. 

Just hanging on in the hope of being able to shut the argentine crowd up.

Most boring 0-0 ever against the groups whipping boys, but job done I guess.

Late Uruguay winner means England dropped to 2nd in the group and will play Italy now though .

Not ideal ..

Not true , we won the group with seven points, as we beat Uruguay six was the maximum they could get , Italy came second in their group

Ha sorry.

Just assumed that .

Fair enough.

Didn’t realise they were in the same group as Brazil.
 
Guess it’s the way the draw has gone.

Coming top we were always going to get a tough one .

Whereas coming 2nd might have made it a bit “easier “?

Got to play the best at some point in reality though.
