Bold statement. They’re a young squad and they may well win something...however, you’re completely ignoring the fact that, amongst others, Mbappe is 19, Pavard is 22, Pogba and Varane are only 25 and Umtiti is 24. That’s just the French. 

It’s like nobody else has good youngsters.

I don't think we'll win. Just think that's when we'll be back.

Well done England on a fantastic tournament. I  called it from day 1. England would go far.

 

The biggest loser has been Shaun Lawson. His predictions have been awful despite him trying to use long replies to win an argument. The boy knows hee haw about football.

 

Here's his prediction wheel

Now come on...this is serious!

 

As fellow Jambos we should be contacting the Uruguayan Samaritans as a matter of urgency...!

I'm relieved they're out, but it's a bit embarassing how personally some folk take it.

For those looking to pillory our own country what's Englands excuse with a popution 12 times the size of Croatia

 

Croatia have not qualified for every euros or World Cup but have a squad of good players and a couple of excellent players but because of their size  will never consistently reach this level.

There are many countries with a similar population to Scotland who did not qualify and hard though it is to say sometimes lady luck has a part to play in bringing a group together

Yeah disappointed who doesn’t lose a World Cup semi and not be disappointed.  

 

If you said to me before the tournament England would lose a semi final in extra time I wouldn’t have belived it possible.    So much better than I could have hoped.  Yes we didn’t beat anyone major but what a ride.

 

a young team who try their hearts out, no big egos, a likeable manager we even won a penalty shoot out!  

 

For or the first time in as long as I remember I am excited for the future and proud in equal measure.  

 

No regets, we gave our all but better team won on the night.

My apologies, I thought you were meaning England. Upon reading again I think you mean Scotland? 

In which case, you’re bang on. Nothing for us to fear anywhere! :)

Just seen the goal after stv player went down.

 

Great finish. Like Lovren Mandzukic not given enough credit by the English pundits.

I've got English people in my family, and they don't really care much tbh. Which makes it all the more embarassing that we get so worked up over it. I mean you have to admit it goes beyond banter or rivalry. If England has any major rivals it's Argentina or Germany, but other than wanting them eliminated for the sake of competition I don't see many England fans cheering on everyone who plays them. Just an observation.

?Since independence in 1993 they have a better record than England....

Once the dust settles though...given the way the draw opened up anything less than making this semi-final would have been a real failure...in fact losing to a lower ranked side in this match tonight is failure. Never again will England have an easier run in a World Cup...

 

Spot on

Still envious of England because of one thing....southgate. forward thinking and not Alex Mcleish!!

 

Great interview there. Given the players he has at the ages they are they could grow into a really good team.

All this gloating about England's defeat is such a waste of energy, we should really be asking how a country like Croatia can be so much better than us, we have a larger population, yet they have two players who play for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, we have a team of non-stars, and nobodys, we have a manager who has achieved absolutely nowt in his managerial career, even Hibs got shot of him, we are going nowhere fast with no hope of even qualifying for a world cup.

Germany would be my guess. There will be a fair few people that can remember the Wehrmacht kicking their doors in.

 

They'll probably have a good laugh at England as well.

Yeah France and England have a good rivalry. And places like Australia and New Zealand etc, but in those cases it seems to be more of a good natured banter, for the most part.
