The Black Bra Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Czechs and Croatia have both beaten England in the last few years...... Imagine if they got knocked out in the group stages when the semi & final are at Wembley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will depend to some extent on how well they start the tournament and what they need out of the game. Our biggest hope is the overweening sense of entitlement and over-confidence they always take into tournaments. Jings, the Covid-altered plans for the tournament even included an England victory parade! We're no very good and sometimes seem less than the sum of our parts but this really is the time for the players to step up and show how much playing for Scotland means to them. They have plenty of time to learn the words of Flower of Scotland for a start (the women's team can teach them if necessary). Then get out there and work hard and run and work and run and work till at 90 mins you can't do anything but crawl to the tunnel vomiting. Every one of us who are usually in the stands would give up a limb (after the game, obviously) for the chance to pull on a Scotland jersey and humiliate England. Show that it means that much to you, or don't play for Scotland.  This tournament, we have to be the Iceland. To be fair, most of that shite comes from their press, media and some of their more fair weather fans. In the current climate (no pub intended) we'll probably see politicians latching onto it too. England's players, coaching staff and even, I suspect, their more committed fans will be more pragmatic though.  On 4/26/2021 at 10:55 PM, DAVIDB46 said: Very unlikely as our forwards are utterly dreadful . We cannot rely on this non-scoring forwards set up. Our midfield is okay but itâs not a patch on theirs . The concern when we play them is their are always so much bigger physically than us. I'd be surprised if there is a big gulf between the two sides in terms of height. If everyone's fit, I'd expect 6 or 7 of our starting 11 to be EPL players, including a few of our taller players. The thing that often takes me aback when I watch England though is how much pace they have in their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor1996 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Harvey Barnes is out. A huge loss for England. He's one of their only out and out wingers. Their only one, I'd say, as Sterling is more of an inside forward. (One of about 14) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot him, too. Maybe I'm forgetting these players on purpose so that I can sleep at night... đ) Yeah, Sancho and Saka are wingers, but I could easily see them developing into inside forwards. We're the same, I've never known us with so many inside forwards... we don't even have a winger. Fraser and Forrest are better playing on the inside. Maybe it's a generational thing, the wingerless generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Who is the more aggressive of the two? That could play a big part, as long as we have a decent referee who isnae whistle happy. Scotland I think would benefit more. Look at Tierney and McGinn for example. Hanley at the back marking Kane is a big ask, he worries me.. So many things can go right or wrong, but I am confident... Scotland Forever..đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó żđ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó żđ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó żđ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo cop Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Not sure if we can win this one, but getting a draw is not beyond us. It's not just about one game though as if we can beat either Croatia or the Czechs then all to play for. Looking forward to it especially if we get crowds in to get some atmosphere goingđ.

Unfortunately. Just read an article where he said that he's "English through and through", which is fair enough. Some people here think my objection towards Che Adams Is because he rejected us. It isn't. He's just a really average striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
