Billy Gilmour was superb, disappointed we never won in the end.
I don’t think England are going to win it based on that performance.

Was always gonna be a tough ask for Scotland to win with the lack of quality available in the final third but that was a decent performance, looked pretty comfortable in the second half and deserved our point.
I doubt a point will be enough and we will go out as usual but will just have to wait and see what happens.
England were rubbish, with the talent and quality available they should be performing far better than that.

Gareth's master plan to finish second ?
Is Sancho injured? Bellingham?
Sorry, but persisting with Rice, Phillips and Sterling for 90 minutes when we have options on the bench just sums Southgate up. Too negative by far. Deserved nothing. Dull, boring, pedestrian football.
Will those who were so quick to praise our “game management” against an average Croatia now open their eyes? England under Southgate are a dreadful watch.

Spot on and we have two of them.
players seem to lose the basics the moment they put an England shirt on .
The free kicks and corners were dire.

Be interesting to see how Southgate finds any positives in that performance.

Your days of reminding us are numbered if we don’t play better than that.
Or get a better manager.

Well that was a banana skin. Big Rio has never been more confident about winning a match. ? Bawbag.

Scotland stepped up and embarrased England.
Put it behind us and move on.

What an exciting group now … ! Last thing we really wanted.
Incidentally defence doesn’t start in your half it starts in the oppositions .. so attacking midfields do defend they just keep the opposition pegged back.

Like someone said earlier. This was your cup final. It was just another game for England.
See you in the next round ?

Well done to Scotland, deserved the win. Outstanding from start to finish, created 4 clear chances and pushed untill the end.
That's possibly the worst England performance I've seen including Iceland for a decade or so. Southgate is such a cowardly manager he was happy with 1-1 to essentially qualify. If England played France, Belgium or any decent side we would've lost by 3-4 tonight.
England's strength is the midfield and attack yet he plays 6 defensive players. There is no way on earth we will get anywhere close to winning this tournament unless theres a major change in outlook. Always said Southgate was a fraud who got lucky in Russia then bottled the big game, since then England have scraped by on individual quality. You've got a bench with Grealish, Sancho, Rashford and Bellingham and he comes up with that?
The subs were bizzare. Foden was the most lively player, Rashford isn't great in the air so why take Kane off when you're going to put crosses in towards the end? Grealish was more bothered about flicking his hair and winning free kicks to make a difference. Sterling has been in bad form for 6 months yet he stays on all game when he was going to do nothing? That was car crash management and everything not to do. He's just a FA PR machine in his cheap suit, awful haircut and textbook soundbites. The worst thing to happen is we stumble to the semi finals and he keeps the job for the World Cup.
Having this clown in charge is like putting a learner driver in a Ferrari. No idea

Tactically excellent, team selection spot on, every guy did his job. Billy Gilmour what a first start for the wee man, if Chelsea are serious about putting him out on loan they are mad.
