Meh its taken 2 defensive mistakes in a piss poor game, some team..

tbf England have been head and shoulders above Scotland, who did not have yet found their game, I can't recall any scottish chances in the past 40 mins of football.

Sorry but the first was from an inch perfect pass. 2nd granted was some spurs type of defending

[CHOULO19 24,332]

well no cesc and no costa ,,,almost forgot no Schurrle either

Both teams playing their C teams, not even their B. Boring, uneventful game with no quality.

EDIT: Germany just scored with an assist from the terrible pitch. That about sums up that match!

Just 4 more days.....

Spain 0 - 1 Germany 89' Kroos

Of course they are head and shoulders above Scotland, you look at the difference in quality if England weren't able to be head and shoulders above Scotland in this game then I think you would have to question Roy Hodgosn and the players themselves. I didn't except Scotland to win, I expected a close game, England doing all the work with the ball and us playing on the counter which we have and it has been quite close other than 2 mistakes.

Yes it was a great pass I agree but Grant Hanley 9 times out of 10 he should read that better and get his head on it. The ball is in the air for ages and he gets caught under it, which is poor considering how long he had to position himself.

Luke Shaw hasn't looked anything like a 10M player let alone a 27M player, amount of times hes gone down and felt his ankle must be worrying for you England fans and Man United fans. Clyne looks awesome though.

Scotland are simply not a football nation, they're not built for football. They suit Rugby & Tennis better.

I'm not winding up anything, just speaking from what I believe. Scotland only have a population of 4-5 population, which is not enough for them to build a powerful team like England, Germany, Spain, etc. Is there anything wrong with saying this? Hell, it's hard to even make it to the world cup with this population. Don't get me wrong, Scotland are a very talented nation in sports, they've shown it in Rugby and Andy Murray sure as hell shown it but football just doesn't work for them, just like China, Mexico, Japan for various other reasons.

Not a football nation? Most of our starting 11 play in England, either in the premier league or the championship.... Some of the Celtic guys have more Champions League experience between them than some of the England squad to be fair. It's hardly like we are San Marino for fuck sakes.

Dont need a huge population to be good.

Just need a good infrastructure... Both china and india suck in football, with their huge population...

Also, Japan and Mexico are good futbol nations...

USA will become a world power in futbol soon and the huge population is part of the reason..

I think china is different..

China doesnt give a shit about futbol... They want their star athletes in the olympics, which is why china is always top 2 in medal counts for the summer games....

India is india.
