@DuncanPatterson so brave your boys

England won't play a team of Germany's class until they make it out of their group

If they make it out of their group

Cannon fodder: the San Marino of international football.

Erm, San Marino are the San Marino of international football

Wasnt that much of a surprise tbh.
You had norwich/watford defenders playing against bayern munich/barcelona attackers.

It showed.

When England play a team of Germany’s class they will at least give them a serious football match even if they ultimately lose.

Scotland also had a Liverpool defender, Arsenal defender, a Man Utd midfielder, a Villa midfielder

I won’t knock Scotland for that result, qualifying for the tournament was a great achievement for a smallish country where the pool of players to choose from isn’t great. They’ll finish 3rd in their group though I reckon.

An arsenal defender shipped out on loan because he cant get a game. Norwich watford and al-ettifaq were the backbone.

Scotland haven’t won a game at a tournament since 1996. It showed.

Tbh i dont know if ive just lost interest or its a sign of the times for scottish football. But when im googling 4 or 5 players in the scottish team to see who they play for.
That never used to be.

Absolutely hilarious that. Bonny f***ing Scotland.

How the hell did they qualify?

They beat Spain, and Norway twice.

 

[The Celtic View]

I don’t think it would’ve mattered who was in goal personally.

Germany would definitely still have won the game, but I felt Gunn was poor and responsible for maybe 3 of their goals. If a good keeper saves those shots, Germany would still have won, but maybe not by 4 goals?
