    Could be but they looked leather rather than canvass.

    That's the dilemma, they then either show themselves out to be poor or create a monster which is alien to knockout football that Southgate cannot control... I'm a glass half empty type of guy....

    So two England footballers who came into close proximity of the Scottish player with Covid have been told they have to self isolate, but none of the Scottish squad who have shared dressing rooms, hotels, dining tables and probably a host of other things have to self isolate.
    Something not right here.

    Therefore the question is how is this rule applied, if it is because there are pictures of the players in close proximity, surely the rule needs to be applied to others e.g. the Scots manager for one?

    He hasn’t got the virus. It’s a hoax by Sturgeon who’s happy to sacrifice one player in exchange for stopping two English playing.

    Yeah they’re mates which is fair enough… but he’s shared food, dressing room etc etc etc with every other member of the Scottish team. Can’t work out why we only have to apply the rules to impact an opposition

    Isn’t it safer to be in normal conversation at normal conversation distance, than to be in the middle of a celebratory huddle with a load of panting players breathing in your face and kissing you? (celebratory goal huddle, however, not applicable to Scotland) ?

    Yeah it’s mental but it’s Gona force him to play better players hopefully, this defensive formation doesn’t suit our team imo.

    Two English football players quarantined after coming into contact with a Scotsman.

    I wonder if Croatia are thinking about working themselves here. A forfeit would do very nicely for them.

    Difficult to believe they've gone with each individual country's COVID policies when teams are moving between those countries.

    The two English players are being used as scapegoats, its made to look as though we have done something about it. If we didnt isolate any players, carried on as normal, and we cause a massive outbreak throughout the competition, or amongst the Czech players at least, then there would be hell on! We have isolated them 2 as a sort of token gesture. If everyone was serious, and the health of the players took first priority, Scotland would be sent home and England could be on the next bus out of the competition. However that is not priority, the priority is to end the tournament at all costs, without any major problems. I'm not surprised a couple of English players have gone into isolation, its a sign that Covid is not being ignored, however I'm surprised a couple of other Scottish players havnt been put into isolation, just as a gesture.

    The England match has 0-0 written all over it. Although I think Southgate would want to win it. He would sooner we get knocked out off of France/Germany/Portugal than Slovakia or Sweden or whoever we play if we finish second. It'll look better on his CV.

    I can see a lot of own goals and penalties conceded from both teams in their quest to finish second.

    Our defence is weak, but our attacking options are excellent. That's why we should let the shackles off and try to win 4-3, rather than keeping it tight and hoping we don't concede.

    If he plays Phillips and Rice together, I'll f*ckin self-combust!
