DFF Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Scotland scored twice in the last three minutes (plus stoppage time) to come from behind and beat Norway 2-1. Great result for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Three wins out of three is excellent for Scotland. Even if they don't finish in the top two, they'll have a guaranteed playoff spot, so it's looking good. For Norway, on the other hand, one point in three games is disastrous.

Scotland should absolutely be targeting top 2 now. In fact, anything less than that would be a bit of a disappointment. They've beaten Spain and Norway in back to back qualifiers.

Bobfoc Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 It might be faint praise, but this England team is better than any I can remember. While you could argue that Eriksson's squads had better players overall, this one plays a much more entertaining style of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Imagine not playing Trent given his passing ability can add another dimension to the team. Gonna be funny when he gets dropped for a game against a half-decent side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFF Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Nice comfortable win. Great to see the players keep the pressure up on North Macedonia's back line and not just shutting up shop at 3/4 nil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLiam Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Southgate said Coady isn’t included because “he’s playing in the Championship” - although he is injured at the moment. Henderson is arguably playing in a weaker league but is included… Happy to see Nketiah finally get some international recognition though. Phillips still being called up despite not really playing for an entire year is amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Kalvin Phillips and Harry Maguire being called up basically sums it up. Neither played a minute this season yet somehow get in the team. Feels harsh on Sterling not being called up imo. He's had a good start to the season so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Southgate has proved that cohesive selections and consistency in his squad works. You can't just always pick players on form, it's disjointed and as if the national team is a reward/prize when it isn't, it's an ongoing team that only get to work together so often. That is why Maguire and Phillips are in the squad. Maguire always performs for England - he had an excellent World Cup - and Phillips was England Player of the Year before the injuries cost him a lot of last season. You can work new players in, and form is absolutely a factor in selection (like Sancho being gone from the fold now, Nketiah being called up) but a lot of people take it as the main reason for squad selection and it just shouldn't be. I think Southgate does well with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
