Re: Euro 2020
i didn't put a measure on your self-importance.....just that its comical...thus your assumption is wrong..
question for you....if a person has parents of different nationalities, is it Ok to support both?

Re: Euro 2020
Bad own goal. Not euro but funny. Haiti goalkeeper has gone viral for arguably the worst own goal ever scored vs Canada

Re: Euro 2020
Sorry for the interrupting, but for me its a yes, although what happens when they play each other? That's when your true inner self can make the call for you.

England took part in the dismemberment of Yugoslavia only for the reason they knew they would get an arse whopping in the future tournaments.Still even my little Croatia made some significant wins against you.

Re: Euro 2020
Back to the football...............................
I reckon Scotland will give a decent account of themselves for the first sixty minutes or so but will eventually get over run and overwhelmed by a more skilful and energetic England side. Predicting 3-1 to England but would love to be proved wrong.
Come on Scotland!

Re: Euro 2020
Only the English could make Scotland look like Brazil. Southgate is the most unadventurous manager I've seen apart from Mourinho, playing two holding midfielders against shite teams. What does Sterling have to do to get subbed? He was pus all game and still stays on and, as soon as you put two players on who might actually get the ball to the centre forward, he takes Kane off. Nice guy and says all the right things in press conferences, never upsets anyone, but Gareth has NFI and has to go surely.thebeautifulgame wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:44 pm Back to the football...............................

Re: Euro 2020
Con you are too kind on England , 90 minutes and apart from Stones header from a corner and Mount long range shot , absolutely nothing .
I agree with NOC on playing two DM all game , what was the thinking behind that ?
England were slow and ponderous and Scotland created the best chances .
Kane doesn’t look fit and Sterling was hopeless .

Re: Euro 2020
The midfield build up play was almost non existent , just a succession of passes across the back lines , the first thought was always the defensive safe option . Let’s be honest Scotland created more chances .Nice One Cyril wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 6:54 amOnly the English could make Scotland look like Brazil.

Re: Euro 2020
have a look at the date....I was referring to Scotland's first game....and yes...i watched the game and no, im not trolling....
England have an identity crisis......their 'playing DNA' is in contradiction to how the players and fans want them to play...

Re: Euro 2020
It was clearly on the 1st game and yes I watched it.
Mind you Scotland improved on the first game effort unlike England who turned in a lifeless performance .
Re: Euro 2020

Re: Euro 2020
Would hope that was a dig at England and not the Scots, I'm sure if we had someone like Kane up front we would be more adventurous. If Southgate is running scared against an average (not shite as has been suggested) Scottish team then how will they cope against the more fancied nations, and in particular Belgium and France? England are still a decent side but I'm unsure if they have learnt from past experiences in major tournaments. If Southgate lets the shackles off and plays to their strengths they still pose a threat, if they play it cagey like against us Scots they have no chance.
And yes, the Portugal v Germany game was a cracker, though GIAE will ask if you actually watched it?

Re: Euro 2020
Portuguese players left their balls on field trying to score again,what an effort-a truly beautiful game to watch!

Re: Euro 2020
No need to panic. Henderson & McGuire are fit again now so we can leave Grealish, Foden, Bellingham & Sancho on the bench. Go 3 at the back, 5 defensive in mid, pull Kane in deep and knock it long to sterling, praying at least one of his ricochets will be fortuitous. Keep the faith
