    I would switch trippier to RB & bring on Shaw, take off Sterling & bring on Grealish

    Excellent performance, particularly by the new boys. Encouraging.

    Well, three points in the bag, tournament football, job done etc etc.

    I thought England looked good for the first 25 minutes, some decent performances especially Philips, but not especially exciting, Croatia didn’t offer as much as I expected, didn’t step up when they went a goal down. Keeping a clean sheet the best thing with our dodgy defence. Sterling, although he scored the goal (just) getting all the praise from the pundits, but I thought he was weak overall.

    And this post perfectly sums up why I'm not bothering with this place during this tournament.

    You can only beat whats in front of you and we did that in what looked like blistering heat. Good result and great for confidence. Phillips m.o.m by a long way for me. Well done lads.

    Schools up here showing the games for the kids, and really trying to make it a party atmosphere. They're allowed to wear Scotland tops or tartan to school, with lessons tailored around the Euros and the countries involved....

    Children prepare to watch Scotland v Czech Republic in schools

    Poppy told her head teacher that watching the Scotland game would inspire pupils to achieve their dreams


    As the delayed Euro 2020 championship is about to get under way, anticipation is building across the country as Scotland embarks on its first major tournament in 23 years.

    Children and teenagers have never before experienced the thrill of watching their national team compete in a major finals.

    And after such a challenging time during the past 15 months, with so much time at home and unable to see their friends during lockdown, some are now being given the opportunity to celebrate - or commiserate - with their classmates.

    This is because many schools across Scotland are embracing the tournament and allowing their pupils to watch some of the games. Children are being encouraged to come into school in Scotland tops, bunting is being put up and lessons are being tailored to the tournament.

    One 10-year-old pupil from St Stephen's Primary School in Clydebank persuaded her school to let pupils watch the Scotland games after writing to the head teacher who then carried out a favourable online poll.

    'Imagine the smiles on our beautiful faces'
    In the letter, Poppy argued that the matches were "more than just a game" and would inspire her classmates to achieve their dreams.

    "Imagine the smiles on our beautiful faces if Scotland scored a goal," she wrote. "It is part of our culture and would show that we are true Scots."

    Scotland midfielder John McGinn heard about Poppy's "amazing letter" and tweeted his support. Then after hearing of her victory, he tweeted a special video message to congratulate her.

    "A big congratulations to Poppy," he said. "It's amazing for us to read that we can inspire so many people. Stick to your dreams, keep working for it - you never know what's possible."

    If we can't discuss and express opinions about the good AND bad aspects of a performance, what exactly is the point of a football forum?

    It's like North Korea in Col's house. No hint of criticism of England will be permitted.

    Saw the 2nd half.

    A very entertaining and enjoyable game.

    Felt a bit sorry for the Ukraine not to nick a point!
