It isnt just about how many star players you have. What you're really saying is "England and Belgium have more famous players". Italy were the best team at Euro 2020 which is why they won it. Same with Greece. I wouldn't even say we had more famous players. One thing I would say, is Italy had the better manager. He out smarted Southgate, tactically in game and then on penalties.

England started both Italy and Croatia games on fire and Southgate negativity allowed them back into the game and slow down to there pace Italy and Croatia both had 2 games go to extra time before playing England Southgate is a dud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffoman Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Ireland currently beating Scotland 3-0. Var check on to see did Scott Hogans header now cross the line. Strangely no Goal line technology in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scots always raise their game against the English, be it football, rugby or sliding rocks on an ice rink! I reckon McGinn needs a rest - he must be exhausted!

I really don't get how Scotland can continue to underperform to the level they do. Yeah, it's not the biggest country by population but it's affluent, has a strong football culture and a decent league. Places like Denmark, Croatia, Ireland and Wales can put a team together with similar or lesser resources. What happened? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 They decided to only produce left backs Seriously though they seem to be lacking in certain positions and have been for a long time, they have no striker or CB They could put out a midfield 3 of PL starters but then a pub league central defence Had a look on wiki at their 4 strikers have a total of 8 goals between them in 51 caps, the other 4 strikers from their recent call ups have 16 goals in 92 caps, that's shit Theyve also only got Patterson, Gilmour and Hickey who are still of U21 age, its not a young unexperienced full of potential group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just in terms of having only 2 half decent teams battling it out with the rest of the league MILES behind, but I expect their academies hoover up all the talent narrowing the possibility of someone breaking through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
