Harry Souttar, plays for Stoke, born in Aberdeen, Aussie mother and has never played for St Mirren reserves as some would have you believe.

st mirren turned him down so he went to stoke.. the st mirren of the south

Good shut those drums up

Well done England, well done. I would suggest packing on Saturday afternoon though, because you'll be on your way home on Sunday morning.

Heartbreak for Bamba dieng. Serves the cnut right for his airport stunt on deadline day

The colonies know their place.

The commentator said England have never lost to an African team and it got me thinking, I wonder if Scotland, Ireland or Wales have.

Then it dawned on me, it’s unlikely they’ve ever played one

I give you … Scotland 2-0 zaire 1974

lorimer, Jordan

so they’ve had some success… as long as they had Leeds players.

great volley from lorimer tbf

I can’t say I gave it more than ten seconds thought to be fair

I know bud… it just gave me an opportunity to remember the glory days. For Leeds and not coincidentally, the sweaties

I expected better from you Eric… we’re the last commonwealth team in the cup. You should be supporting your brethren.

We should be hoping England win the cup, imagine all those Man City players on a high and being given a week off on their return, chance for us to pull off an upset

I once saw St Mirren play at Love Street.

Since all our players are out of the world cup.

Let me think about that for a while, and review recent history. I'll get back to you.

Based on that logic I think it would be best if it was a Spain v Portugal Final.

England would be the nearest one we've played to an African team.

From here it appears England would have to beat France, Spain and then Brazil in the space of around 10 days. That's incredibly unlikely.

I like the French and the Spanish but hate Brazil.

I agree it looks like an impossible route, but stranger things have happened. What caught my ear during the commentary on the England match this morning was the following stat, I haven't checked it though, that England have currently scored one more goal than when they won the tournament in 1966.
