I'm really looking forward to this one.... You get the impression that a draw isn't going to be desirable for either side.... But at the same time, loser is almost certainly out. Big stakes today. Czech are no mugs and Scotland is a team thats ever improving. Should be a great game Neither teams are mugs at moment. Who knows, it's along shot bht maybe Croatia could be the ones in trouble yet? Scotland and Czechs seems to have fairly good vibes around them whereas Croatia have lost their first game and talk of a dying golden generation.

Think we need to play attacking fulbacks against the Scots with james and shaw bombing on, Grealish too, he would be excellent with Philips Rice and Mount in midfield, Foden just behind kane. Centre backs Mings and stones.

Scotland have 2 English players starting that we can cheer on I guess...
What am I saying.. Come on the Czech's!!
Interesting wiki story about McTominay: McTominay's grandfather revealed Sir Alex Ferguson wanted him to represent Scotland. Manchester United academy coach Brian McClair explained "McLeish made a huge effort getting to Carrington to meet up with him, because it was in the middle of the bad weather that we had. He made it, put a case. Gareth Southgate sent him a text."

Ready and waiting on the sofa, cool drink, cake and fruit pastilles on hand to keep me going.
Always like to see the home nations do well, I think it must be the Celt in my blood.
C'mon Scotland.

Centre backs Mings and stones. I can certainly see Shaw or Chilwell starting on Friday. I kind of get why Trippier played there to offer a bit more support in defence but that wont be needed on Friday. However, on the right hand side I would still be a little cautious with Scotlands best players in Robertson and Tierney coming down their left hand side.

You would have thought so! I personally don't agree with the rule about being able to play for another country if an ancestor is from there. Should be either where you were born or have citizenship for/lived in for x amount of years

Good Girl. I'm cheering them on as well. Bags I always do, but the fact a lot of Scots hate us makes it not a foregone conclusion everyone will.

A bit of a blow that starting 11 for Scotland Big Jock ? a reasonably cautious starting 11, see how things go for a bit then maybe make offensive changes later. Don't want ta go balls out an get pumped in th first half. But ahem, not great. Gilmour, Adams an Patterson should all be starting IMO. But hey ho here we go…..😃
