You do get weird results leading up to tournaments. Sometimes - becoz of the fact they are trying to get picked, they shoot when they should set up another player, and fuck up their chances. Anthony Gordon did two the other night.
They go out there with "impress Gareth" on their mind and "don't make any fuck ups", but they forget to play as a team and they're scared of blunders, which has been England players problem for long time. Playing with fear of being slaughtered.
Disaster for the Scots Land people, 3 goals and a man down. Not half time yet.
Scotland are dreadful. Can't get out of their own half, no shots on target, Neuer a spectator. Reminiscent of England vs Oman in the cricket yesterday.
What was the Scottish defender thinking? Two footed on someone's ankle? Deserved red.
This is why I don't like expanding tournaments to have more teams. We should go back to 16 teams not 24.
I have to agree with that, though I have more issue with the fact that we have all these group games to eliminate just 8 teams before the last 16 knockout round. Just a corporate exercise in getting more games on the telly.
Well, that was embarrassing. I haven't been so embarrassed since 1978, when we wur oan the march wi' Ally's army, we wur goin' tae the Argenteen, we wur gonnae really shake them up when we wur gonnae win the wurld cup, ´coz Scoatlan' wuz the greatest fitba' team.
