don't the second placed team get a better draw?
Not really...could be France in QFs and Italy/Belgium SF so far worse in the long run.

Modric fires just over...Croatia sensing they can get to last 16 in next 20 minutes. Scotland have to keep it to 1-0 for half time.

At what point between now and the rapture will English players understand how to pass through a high press

Why are the fans celebrating like they've won the World Cup? England has already qualified anyway.
In fairness if you can't sit back and enjoy the ride in a dead rubber group stage game after a year and a half of not being able to go to games, when can you?

Our defence and midfield is dire to watch with the ball.

Hannibal Mejbri is probably watching this Grealish performance with a pen and pad. That tightrope dribbling + getting clattered about is very much his bread and butter.

Reece James is a much better passer than Walker. It's so noticeable this game

Clarke got to change the shape, two upfront for Scotland being exposed by Croatia.

Let's have a go at Sterling, even when he scores.
to be fair he was running away to graffiti a gun on a wembley statue before committing a hate crime on an old.

Scotland so luckless infront of goal though :lol:

They do generally create some decent moves in final third...just seems in the box there's a freeze as to what to do or keeper pulling off a good save.

Just thought that their celebration is a bit over the top. One of the blokes looks like he was about to cry. :lol:

He hasn't looked fit at any point in the tournament. I don't know if he's having issues behind the scenes or carrying a knock, but something isn't right with him.
issuing a come and get me plea to ole. nothing gets us harder than listless performance with little to no movement.
