We really need to develop a couple of players like that for Scotland. One thing we definitely miss out on is that World Class style player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingantti1874 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I think their midfield is extremely average in Comparison to what they’ve had before Foden is great but isn’t really a midfield player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maroonblood22 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 That’s an absolutely beatable midfield. Admittedly it looks positive for them for the future with how young the team is but Croatia were dugmeat today. They come up against a seasoned international quality midfield and they’ll get taught a lesson IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CloustonHMFC Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Foden is class, Mount is good and Phillips is ok. Overall I'm not that concerned about us facing up against them. We have plenty of players within our squad who have experience of facing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Brown Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I've been saying that England are now capable of getting a trophy, their talent pool is very good. Goalkeeper is still a problem as long as he sticks by Pickford, he does not look confident at all. His distribution is awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angel eyes Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 No international football minded really more a club man but needs must with nothing else on I’ll watch and try and get into it watched England the day and maybe just me but they to a man gives me the impression they’re a bunch o overhyped arrogant so & so’s and hope Scotland do take them down a peg or two individual club forums as per usual grading us as no more than championship level.

rudi must stay Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Foden thinks he can do it all himself, football is all about space. He is a great talent though. That was a great win for them today I expect Croatia to get through. Those two, England and Croatia, have the most complete squads in the group. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like Hearts in 05/06 they will dominate games and he'll be relied upon to make saves every now and then. He's good at that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Didn't think they looked all that great today. Certainly not worth all this hype from certain advertisers proclaiming Fodden will "Gazza" Scotland and single handled destroy us. Feel we've got enough in midfield to be able handle this lot. Neither teams have great defenses but upfront we lack way behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will maintain until my dying day that we were the better team for most of the game in 1996. England scored early through Shearer and didn’t do much after that. Scotland were knocking on the door and when we won the penalty it was fully deserved. 1-1 and Scotland with their tails up and it’s a different game. Then McAllister misses, we have a single moment of individual brilliance from Gascoigne a minute or two later, and it’s game over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We were much the better team and that missed penalty completely swung the momentum back in their direction. We deserved so much more than to get Eliminated in the group stages by a single goal on goal difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I meant the first leg of the 99 playoff when scholes scored twice, but I agree with you about 1996. Frustrating game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
