Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostThere was a time when defences were scared of Kane, but he seems to have lost that air of invincibility. Scotland were helped by the rain, and I was glad Gareth waited so late to put Jack Grealish on. Scotland set about him from the moment he came on so that he couldn't get into the game. However, the result means little if we don't score or goal or two against the Croatians.

I wonder if both sides went into this thinking a draw would be fine. That’s all England needed and maybe Scotland fancied their chances better against Croatia . That might be a mistake as England were definitely misfiring on most cylinders last night . Equally Scotland had a very well drilled defence and as you see time after time an organised defence can usually grind out a draw against most attacks . Yes England may have had only one shot on goal but that’s , to be charitable , testament to the defending. The difference is that the real quality teams (e.g, Belgium) can find a way of unpicking things even when there are ten defenders behind the ball and they take their chances like that missed header in the first half...

If a red button appears on screen while you're watching a sports channel, extra features are available
Personally I love that last-day-of-the-premiership feeling of leaping around - both in the room, and from channel to channel, as the scorelines come in...
Often with Radio Commentary running to help out....
Just make sure you know the rules for qualification!

My TV does this, although I've never felt the need to make use of it."I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
