The Old Tolbooth Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 People are ruling out that we can still finish second in this group, the Czech's have a very poor record at Wembley, and I wouldn't be shocked if England were stupid enough to go out and thrash them by 3 or 4 to hype them all up again......before facing France, Germany, or Portugal in the next round, a one goal win my be enough for us depending on their result.

TexasAndy Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 7 hours ago, Tommy Brown said: All a bit irrelevant Eldar. Lookinng at each group, they all have potential 4pt 3rd placed teams. Mondays two groups do have very good possibilities of each having 3rd placed having only 3 points. Fingers crossed this happens. Group B Denmark & belgium to win Group C Austria or Ukraine to win (play each other, both on 3 pts) Yeah the 3rd place situation is getting tight. Swiss winning by 2 was a blow last night leaving us needing to win by 2 to finish above them (based on their goals scored). Would be great if the Group B and C results worked out for us. We could be in a situation where we need France to beat Portugal on Wednesday!! All of this assuming we can win our game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish same points as Czechs, does it go to goal difference or head to head ? I thought the latter. In which case it wouldn't matter if England hammer Czech they would still be 2nd. I'd like to be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to see a silver lining in this cloud - he might have flopped after all the hype surrounding his Wembley performance, the Croats would no doubt have been working on strategies to nullify his impact etc - but failing.

Taffin Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 And that's another reason to play you're strongest team in the first game when the players are available because you never know (more so with Covid) when they'll become unavailable.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Watching the golf last night, Jon Rahm was remarkably calm about his misfortune, clearly worked as he got rewarded royally. Positive test followed by 2 negatives, but still took him out. Best think we can do, get Billy to swab and take the swab and put it on the salt shakers and teaspoons at Croatians base!

The protocols surround the close contacts outside of playing and training pitches and not effing that up for it to lead to multiple other self isolation requirements.

Pretend this is Twitter. Gilmour's test was not a false positive. Good, now you can spread that around too. The SFA changed their rules to allow false positives off with isolation after the Gogic incident you mentioned and another incident when 3 Hamilton players had to isolate.
