Weren't you Juffair Canary in yester year? I was there (HMS Juffair, though I was RAF) in the 1960's.

Kenny and Mo on parade tomorrow, watchable times for me.
Had a few beers in Juffair, but lived in Hamala. I've been Chinacanary for 20 odd years since the old Wrath of the Barclay forum and living in China at the time.
 
Scotland Goalkeepers position is a bit dire. They have Gunn who hasn't really played a game last season, Craig Gordon who's 43 and Liam Kelly who doesn't seem to be at any clubs.
And Angus looks like he's had a Rooney hair job. Luscious Barnet.
 
Scots won, though other than Mcginn very poor overall, on a other day they'd draw or lose that. McLean (subbed on) got a yellow for studs on knee towards the end, though low force
 
Livakovic has made 3 or 4 great saves. We look better in 2nd half.
Croatia are no mugs, always going to be a tough game.

Some good finishing but outside of 25 mins in the 2nd half, we didn't look like world beaters. That low block defending with 20 to go just invited more pressure. We had no exit with Kane and others dropping into the backs. Nice to get a win in the bag but I hope we see more of early 2nd half England during the rest of the tournament.

This bit...

That England win needs to be seen in perspective. Croatia lost only once in each of the last two World Cups -- beaten finalists in 2018, semi-finalists in 2022. Last night was their first Group Stage defeat since 2014. They are no mugs.
