Surprised Trippier is captain over Ballon d'or nomimee Foden.
I’m so tired of hearing about Foden. Especially weird when Martin Tyler is going on about him, short sentences full of praise, interrupted with heavy breathing, and he’s like 6 times his age.

Magnificent second half from Scotland. Gilmour, Robertson and McGinn were great.

Very happy with the result. Made it hard for ourselves but it’s Scotland so I don’t expect anything less :lol: Can’t beat seeing Sir Alex with a big smile on his face :D

Damn Greece. We should still get second minimum if we beat Greece. A defeat and it looks really tricky.
A draw and we should get second still unless Greece beats Spain.

What great goals by Isak and Quaison!

I have to admit I started to pour myself a drink, which turned out to be a premature celebration, since Greece scored around 91st minute... It will be an exciting game vs Greece on Tuesday, hopefully we get our revenge.

Absolutely magnificent second half from us there. If Gilmour isn’t a star in the future I’ll be sad. Looks so so good for his age.

Just left Hampden, best match and atmosphere in a long time. Injury time winner off McTominay's groin? Get in!

Wish I was there too but couldn’t get a ticket! Great game to attend and looked like it was a brilliant atmosphere too watching it on the tv

Billy Gilmour was brilliant for Scotland and was my MOTM.
Yeah, he has had such an impact on how we play. Should be the heartbeat of the team for the next decade.

Well deserved win.

God, I just want to enjoy international football but then i thought of the newcastle story and got mad again.

Why must a great game be surrounded in shite. I hate that I enjoy the actual 90 mins so much.

Is this first time England ever played in Andorra?

Pretty sure previous games have always been in Barcelona at the Montjuic stadium.

Women officials.
Probably shows how accepted they are now in the mens game now we haven't had hour after hour discussion of that in the press and radio. Or because no one cares about this match which is probably more accurate. :lol:

Haven't the Bundesliga had a female ref for a few years? They'll be one in the premier league within next decade, already had female assistants for last 20 years.

Usually it is only one official that is a women, so nice to see both women ref and linos.

Would really like to see Foden tried as tempo CM for England, nice pass to Chilwell there who was just offside.

Thought Sancho was a right sided player....lack of confidence and he's playing on the left all the time now?

I think he’s played a couple of more recent United games on that side. Pretty sure his cameo against Everton was on the left.

This is the best thing about it. The positive change was made and everyone moved on without fuss.

It would be good to see him play more on the right, bearing in mind we haven't had a proper player for that position for a decade, and put in 70+ million for him.
England can be a law unto themselves though, I'm sure the right will mostly be his position once Rashford is back.

So we buy Sancho to solve the RW issues, and he's pretty much exclusively played on the left wing for club and now country since..

Yeah that's what I meant. But all the talk last season was United finding the missing link on the right (considering Rashford basically starts 95% of games on left and Pogba can be used aswell for certain games) and from what I saw at Dortmund most of his assists came from the right so just surprised me.

Would Man. United fans want him starting ahead of fully fit and firing Rashford?
