Russia v England - match thread.

well I hope the Scots get through, be good to see either the French or the Italiens out.

Yup the french are cocky fookers and the Italians dont look bothered after they won the WC.

Good to see Scotland back but wont do much when they get there

true.

What an excellent defensive tactic

Put as many players you can inside the box, hoof away the ball and hope that you get lucky.

It's why England pay McClown the dough.

Houllier gave some defensive tips to McClown

I'm not a major England fan, BUT major tournements are a bit ****e without England in them, from a spectator's point of view.

And i really want Scotland to qualify, but by the same token, a major finals without one of Italy or France is also silly IMO.

[Kenneth]

To be fair, it was our tactic against Marseilles.

[Craig_H]

Scotland's campaign to offically blow qualification has begun...they've gone a goal down in Georgia...

scotland just gone 1 down, maclaren should resign and they should replace him with mourhinio whilst they have the chance

We used the same tactics away in Europe on numerous occasions during Ged's time.

The xenophobic english establishment would never allow that to happen after their Sven experience.

Agree that JM would probably do a superb job for England but the FA probably wont have the balls and he probably wouldnt want the job.

McHedlidze scored

I'm disappointed to be honest, its always good to get out in the summer when a tournament is on. I spent a wedge at the boozer last summer. McClaren needs to go now, never was good enough. I do despair at times with the national side. We should be able to win these games

think he'd want the job but doubt he'll be offered it
