Hahahaha. I'm lovin' the snidey comments from the Irish, Scots and the Welsh! Bring on the bants, I say. Personally, I'm lovin' our performance and desire the first two games, irrespective of the results and opposition.
"It's only Panama" Yeah, absolutely. But, fact is, when was the last time we (or any of the home nations come to matter ) beat minnows such as San Marino and Luxembourg by such a margin????
They played about as dirty as any international team I recall - as should have been their tactics given their lack of quality - and despite the kicking and shoving, we did the business. Bit disappointed to concede a soft goal, but hey ho.
Off the back of the first two games, I fancy our chances against Belgium. But equally, I won't be gutted if we lose. I actually hope he rests some players, so long as we still go for it. That's all I've ever wanted from the team. A bit of effort. I've got that now, so I'm happy.
New blood coming through, confidence and passion. Been far too long since we saw that - at a tournament and just in general.
Great that the only dirt the press could dig up pre-tournament was a shit tattoo. I doubted Southgate's appointment initially, but it looks like it's working. This is far from our best group of players. Far from our most experienced manager. Goes to show those two things are not the be-all-and-end-all. So there's hope for Scotland yet!
