Yeah and if they actually prove people wrong and manage to win a game against Germany, it's more than likely Sweden and then Netherlands on the route to the final. I'll take that any day over a potential QF with the winners of Group F.
The FA said pre-tournament that his job is safe, even if he lost all three group games.
You can always rely on the FA to make the worst decision.
ive been thinking anout this for Kane too.

First of all, Scotland had the better chances and dominated the midfield for quite alot of the game.
What he said could literally be applied to Foden and Mount too, and it wouldn't make any sense about them either. This sort of rhetoric would be fine if Sancho was a bit like Walcott at 17 when he was named in the 2006 World Cup squad despite barely having any professional football experience.
No we didn't, we were awful v.s. Scotland and not convincing against a weak Croatia. The fears by the fans are justified. Southgate isn't convincing me and it looks a certainty that we'll get slapped up by the first decent side we face. Would love to be proven wrong.
I didn't say England look like world beaters. Southgate had his concerns. Without Maguire he felt defence not strong. So he played his full backs conservatively. England not played back to the wall game.
Agreed. Southgate is using non football reason not to play him in football. He doesn't have the guts to say he picks the players he wants so would rather hide behind age or experience which will actually have a negative effect on the player if he is called up. If he's not ready or experienced enough to play he should not be in the squad. there is no room for tourists although its obviously a nonsense excuse.

England will get destroyed by Germany or Portugal.
Surely the entire Scotland team have to isolate then
That is totally ridiculous.
Yep.....what a joke.

Foden has had two chances so I'd give Rashford the start.

Agreed unless I'm missing something PHE guideance is isolation if within 2 metres close contact for more than 15 minutes during infective phase
Only if he’s on the left. Rashford is wasted on the right.
Bellingham too hopefully for one of Rice/Phillips (on performance so far, Rice. Phillips plays the sitting role anyway for Leeds)...
Why only those two?
Could see a situation where Gareth is forced to change the shape with no Mount and it works well tomorrow but then come the second round he will bring him back and all the complaints from the Scotland game come up once again
Seems like the responsible thing to do.
No because then the whole squads of England and Scotland must do the same.
