Euro 2024 Qualifiers

Of course you can't rule anything out, but I'd be staggered if there is anything other than isolated drunken idiot trouble, and Police Scotland will be on increased alert anyway.

 

Maybe someone will shove a firework up their bum...

 

I'll be staying well out of the way (of Hampden and of bum-pyros).

Met a couple/few times in recent years with no fuss. Would be amazed if there's any noteworthy trouble, more so given its a friendly.

Went Scotland away in 2014 at Celtic Park and there wasn’t one single arrest 

[Scotch]

It's so strange, usually England are our cup final, it's the big one for us, friendly or no but on this occasion, I wish it was the Spain game on Tuesday to try and capitalise on this momentum and get qualification done and dusted.

Southgate continues to play the safety first card 

we’ll always make last 16 of every tournament but we’ll never win anything 

 

rice is one of the best holding midfielders in world football 

 

him and Bellingham can take care of the defensive side of the midfield and madders could play at the front of the midfield. Bellingham can get forward in a way Henderson or Philips can’t 

 

then you can have rashford on the left - thankfully next summer is his swansong

3 ex Leicester players starting.

Agree with st Albans fox and others who’ve said SAFEgate just lacks some balls and tactical nouse when it comes to the big moments.

 

we’ve seen him freeze time and time again.

winning tournaments requires some luck yes but talent alone won’t cut it. Getting the best out of your squad is down to the manager on the day and in the key moments. It’s one thing when we are leading or dominating in a game but when under the kosh leading by 1 goal or trailing to a top team he just doesn’t seem to have the bravery. Maybe just maybe this being his last hurrah it might be his break out moment and surprises us all. Here’s hoping and praying.

Oh, yes. That rubbish loanee we had years back....Kane. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

I assume Maddison must be playing on the left of a front 3. Feels like Southgate has shoehorned him in there just to get him in the side without having to drop Henderson.

Very true this, it just depends how flexible southgate wants to be, with those players in attack, Bellingham, Saka, kane and maddison you can have them interchange. 

[Dahnsouff]

Still boils my piss when I see Tsygankov, but we have exciting looking Abdul now at least. 

[Parafox]

Interestingly now that Maddison plays for a London club he gets a start in the England side 

[Samilktray]

Is Henderson wearing his rainbow laces?

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Pretty poor standard from both teams so far. Summed up by Kane playing a 5 yard pass to the advertising hoardings.

Maguire and Henderson playing is mental

Makes a mockery out of it. 

[TJQuik]

Absolutely pathetic

[whoareyaaa]

Rice ball watching

[trabuch]

Despite having barely any posession or territory they have somehow managed to look more dangerous. Felt that was coming.

[Sly]

And we go behind. 

[Samilktray]

Losing to a team who haven’t even got a home ground at the moment. Just crap this is but I’m still watching and most certainly won’t be turning off!

[Finnegan]

A goal conceded from down Maguire, Chilwell, Maddison side.

 

I'm getting Claude Puel flashbacks

Qualitee

[Sly]

When you have a coach that plays people, that basically haven’t played club football and chooses his mates. You don’t deserve to win games. 
 

Southgate needed binning after the World Cup at the latest. Snooze fest football when you’ve got some of the best attacking talent in the world is a joke.
