Well done Scotland and Wales

Same here . Great to see smaller teams running their socks off and playing with gusto and pride I'd rather see the jokes n taffs winning than some part of old Yugoslavia etc

Best manager they've had since Jock Stein.

I watched the game tonight and the Sweaties did really well and basically out fought the Spanish with every player giving 100% and not letting Spain settle on the ball and dictate matters.

A well fought and deserved victory.

Agree with that. Spain just ran out of ideas & even started trying to kick the Scots up in the air.
 
Rodri wasn't happy:
"It's the way they play, but for me it's rubbish, always wasting time, provoking you, always they fall. For me, this is not football. The referee has to take on this, but he says nothing."

Because Spain have never done any of that.

Rodri is one of the few real top class players they have, if you compare last night's side to the great Spanish sides that won World Cups and Euros they are a shadow of them, players like Iniesta, Xavi, Pique, Ramos, Silva and Fernando Torres don't just grow on trees.

It's great that England and Scotland are beating the likes of Spain and Italy but we have to remember that those two teams are nowhere near the class of previous Spain and Italy teams.

Well said Rodri. 👏
I didn't see the game but I'm sure he's right.
 
Well, Scotland may as well quit the comp. now that they've won their World Cup. Sell off Hampden Park and put the players out to grass.

Another 50 years before it gets any better. What price Cyprus 2 scotland 0?
 
I'm actually pleased when the home nations do better than they have been doing, apart from when we play them of course. So what if the small minded element of their supporters can't handle the fact that England have a much larger catchment area & generally much better players. It's pure jealousy & as far as I'm concerned for us to do the same thing regarding them would make us as bad as them. When we failed to qualify years ago I shouted for Scotland whilst they remained in the competition.

What fixture would you prefer

Pool v PNE or Pool v Rotherham

or

England v Scotland or England v Montenegro ?

England are better and bigger therefore may stir up jealousy but come on let them have the glory of qualifying.

They havent qualified for anything yet, as mentioned they could easily lose away to Cyprus and blow a good start.
