Mighty close from blasic.

That old Wembley sun in the Czechs eyes, can Croatia press it home from here?

What? no.

Croatia with a greater sense of urgency now. Playing like they have an -ic to scratch?

Muahahaha

Peter Cech on the BBC panel here, its the first time Ive seen him not wearing a skull cap in about 6 years

Arghus

Croatia look well past it.

So much sloppy play in that game.

One of the Croats threw the ball straight out for another throw at one point. I've literally never seen that before.

Meanwhile Stephen Hunt is probably retired with vertebra surgery from all the back and forth

Wembley fraggle was named after the stadium, who knew?

Tony O'Donoghue is doing my head in. He's really not suited to hosting football games. His talent lies in kicking players and managers when they are down.

Pat_bottom

Looking forward to this game. Don't care who wins be interesting to see how young Gilmore gets on.

4-1 to England

AllGunsBlazing

Now this game really deserves a capacity crowd. Such a pity.

Scots booing the ENG anthem. Poor form!

Thelonious Monk

This is great, booing of anthems, Scotland already look a bit rattled to me though!

Duckworth_Luas

Disappointed to hear the Scottish contingent booing their own national anthem there.

Pretty big gulf in quality. Potential for a hiding.

Very loud music

Steve Clarke looks like geography teacher who was somehow landed with coaching the school soccer team.

AndyBoBandy

Scotland going in hard here, letting the England players know they’re in a battle…

If they can rattle them enough, it might just put them off their game…..

Either that or England will gain control and win 4-0

The English are thinking of letting 2500 VIPs (!) in from countries with zero quarantine imposed on them to avoid losing the final to Budapest, apparently.
I don't think bumping the attendance by that amount will help
Also, it's pretty shítty thing to do, fck the ordinary fan so.

He has Scotland down for the win!

Wtf does a lion know about football?
You need an octopus. Or maybe a raven.
No mammals.

Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.

Which sums up the idea that England have a rivalry with Scotland, Ireland, Wales or NI.

You would think Ronnie Whelan was a world class striker the way he is so critical of miscontrolled balls.

He was a world class midfielder.

Scotland have actually settled down nicely.

In fairness to him he was a pretty decent player in his day. He did win six league titles.

"They probed themselves" - Ronnie Whelan.

Waste of a corner.

Ironically Whelan's best goal for Ireland at the Euros was a miss hit "shinner"

And a European Cup, as well as 3 FA Cups, and 3 League Cups (scoring the winners in 2 finals).

There’s absolutely no doubt that Ronnie Whelan was a World Class midfielder in his day.

England poor so far, lots of possession and f all to show for it in terms of actual chances, best two were offside so far.

AndyBoBandy

Liam Brady absolutely loving the fact England are not playing well…

AllGunsBlazing

Another bold move from Southgate there by not bringing Grealish on.
