England v Scotland

[Edwardoka]

At least the players seemed to care, and that's the main thing.

Yup. I stopped caring about football a few years back when it became clear that the players didn't care. Proper pride and passion on display tonight though.

Great game to watch and some great goals, best i've seen scotland play in some time

 

[Noodley]

Before we all get carried away can I just remind everyone that Scotland's goals were a result of poor England defending whilst England's goals were the result of magnificent play - according to the English media. Nobbers.

"They are asking for a Rematch" do you think one will take place

 

[Col5632]

We just can't defend set pieces

 

[cd365]

Bring back the Home Nations Cup!!

Agreed.

[QUOTE 2599222, member: 1314"]...anyway, Scotland won the last competitive game against England.[/quote]
And?

 

[cd365]

Lots of teams have won their last competitive game against England, that will be because England aren't really that good, deluded fans and the press build them up and they can't deliver!
There is a distinct lack of quality in the England team, for example Danny Welbeck was England's number 9 last night, he score 1 premiership goal last season. How can a striker with that record be England's best?

[QUOTE 2599256, member: 1314"]I think expectations are more realistic now.[/quote]

I reckon that's probably true. It would be embarrassing to tout England as world beaters after their exploits at the last World Cup.

 

[cd365]

They never disappoint me, I expect them to be rubbish and they usually are.

 

[Fubar]

Agreed.

They sort of did with a round-robin in Dublin last year (without Englandshire), poor games poorly attended.

I thought I'd drank enough Buckie to erase that horror from my mind. Apparently not...

 

[Leaway2]

Wasn't expecting much but really enjoyed it.

Lack of quality in the Prem due to foreign imports.
