England I'm afraid are generally underachievers and unless u can accept that u will never move on im afraid, lets be honest winners not just once but on many occasions at different tourneys across the globe are brazil, germany, France, Italy spain, etc, you always seem happy to win once and gloat on it forever, now for some people that may be successful but in my opinion winning once the next generations should want to surpass previous successes which in my opinion theres other countries have done and have done it away from home, anyway I couldnt give a monkeys about England, apologies im more imterseted in my own country so id prefer to move on, thanks.

I thought Scotland got it wrong straight from the off by playing Dykes as a false no9
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s no even a real 9
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd have Nisbet starting over him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He should have been bedded in before our first major tournament in 23 years. But he wasn't so it was never going to happen. Its the same for every big game inexperienced player unfortunately
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with that.
Guess most are inexperienced at that level so naturally the guys that got him there will get the nod, and rightly so.
Dykes and Adams might work as well in fairness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Adams should have started because he's already proven his standard at international level. But any manager in any industry isn't going to take such brazen risks against our biggest game in 23 years.

Well we can rest in the knowledge that we didn’t boo our own players or the oppositions anthem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be booing your own on Friday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah that’ll be your lot 👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope we boo you lot tbh you deserve it boys
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At least youz don’t discriminate, boo every team and anthem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah nobody hates us like you do. I always hope it's reciprocated.
Never mind Wales, Germany, Ireland, Argentina. Scotland is the one I want to beat the most.
England have an outstanding squad with some brilliant players and an absolute world class CF in Kane.

But an absolute tool managing the side.
Needs to change that line up
Gordon
Cooper Gallacher Tierney
Patterson McTom McGinn Robertson
Forrest Adams Fraser
I’d go for
If we're honest with ourselves, we have precious little chance of getting anything from either England or Croatia, and that chance drops to zero if we persist with "safe" selection options. Players like Gilmour, Turnbull and Patterson are the future of the team and I'd say Patterson and one of the other two need to be starting the next two games to get some tournament experience to bring to future campaigns.

England are a decent team but the only way they will ever win a major tournament against the best is by playing the majority of their games at home in a major tourney, otherwise they can forget it as the way their league is now set up with mainly foreigners they have no chance outwith playing pretty much all their games at home, in fact it's been so long now for them they are getting quite desperate to make sure a tournament has been set up such as this

As long as ODonnell doesnt play - he is genuinely embarrassing to watch. I would rather see Fraser or Forrest play as a right wing back ahead of SOD.
W definitely need a playmaker who can take the ball off the back four, turn and start something off. McGinn could probably do it. Gilmour certainly could.
McGregor on form is a good option but as I said he looks like he genuinely hates football when he plays these days.
Up top Adams has has to start and I would rather see him paired with Nesbit than Dykes who I have never really rated. Being able to ruffle up that big French Nancy Boy Jullien doesnt exactly make you a player.
My Scottish colleague said he would take Scotland losing every game 6 nil over England winning the tournament
He was devastated when we completed the set of World Cups v New Zealand. Took a sickee

Southgate didn't include Sancho in his 23 man squad against Croatia,this shows England's strength but also Southgate's eye for a player.

As long as ODonnell doesnt play - he is genuinely embarrassing to watch. I would rather see Fraser or Forrest play as a right wing back ahead of SOD.
W definitely need a playmaker who can take the ball off the back four, turn and start something off. McGinn could probably do it. Gilmour certainly could.
McGregor on form is a good option but as I said he looks like he genuinely hates football when he plays these days.
Up top Adams has has to start and I would rather see him paired with Nesbit than Dykes who I have never really rated. Being able to ruffle up that big French Nancy Boy Jullien doesnt exactly make you a player.

England have an outstanding squad with some brilliant players and an absolute world class CF in Kane.

But an absolute tool managing the side.

I tend to agree. But you beat Croatia and made them look average and I don't believe they are an average team. The problem England have is when they come against a top tear team and that could be Southgates downfall.

Southgate didn't include Sancho in his 23 man squad against Croatia,this shows England's strength but also Southgate's eye for a player.
