Yes, Saka doing great as well...ah the joys of youth and creativity .....
But I feel so confused about what I want from this game.....I know, I know, you should always want to see your team play their best and score and win, but..... I really would prefer to avoid those Group E runners-up....still it would be at Wembley at least.
Just said to a three-dog-owner on my earlier than usual evening walk, could be a thriller at Hampden..... so it goes, looks like it will be! Like Denmark last night, they know what they have to do. So keep the double screens (and calculators) going....
Third-placed finishes.... I get a headache trying to work it out.... ...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 22-06-21, 20:03.

On the basis of how they have played so far, I assume that 90% of their training consists of practising passing back to Pickford from all parts of the pitch."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."

Winning in the early rounds without playing really well is often said to be the way to go.
Which we are doing in exemplary fashion.
We have good depth in the squad but need to shoehorn our very best players into a starting eleven to have any chance of going a long way.
We will miss Mount in the next round. Still, good to see Maguire back, he and Stones ought to make a decent pairing.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

I love Cup Finals. Cup Finals are great. I'd just prefer not to have one in the Round of Sixteen...
Commiserations to Scotland, but Croatia were bound to wake up eventually - skilful, compact, tough, battle-hardened, they could surprise people yet again....depends how much they want it.Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 22-06-21, 21:18.

Sadly Tierney seemed to disappear from the game - I assume his fitness had gone. Andrew Robertson performed heroically throughout and we had a few chances, but when Modric performs like that a team of Scotland's quality has little chance.
