Yes well done Scotland TBF👏🏻 At least it’s a certain 3 points for England next summer😏 It’s great news - up here!! Best thing though is we get an Auld Enemy game next summer. Great occasions. Remember ‘96 I watched it in a pub in Patrick (appropriately enough!). My plan was to keep quiet if England scored. The problem with that plan was I’d been in the pub from just after 12 and had a good few beers by the time Shearer scored the opening goal. Meaning, I forgot my cunning plan and celebrated. At that point I discovered I was the only Englishman in the boozer. Which, as you might imagine, was packed. No trouble though. I think folk respected the fact I had the bottle to be there. Or they thought I was a heid-the-baw. (Edit - now with correct year!!)

Possible Scotland v. England at Hampden? Czech and Croatia unless moved to Russia IF full capacity crowds are let in by then the atmospheres should be incredible after being starved for so long! Can’t wait for England v Scotland if that’s the case

Forgive my ignorance but how did England already qualify for next years Euro's when the league we are in now is not completed?

That's a tricky group for England. I think it’s as easy as England could have hoped. We put 10 past Czech Rep in qualifying, Croatia are an ageing team who aren’t the force they were and Scotland are Scotland😉

Great effort If, and it’s a big if, like has returned to some degree of normal next summer Scotland play their two games not against us at Hamden which is (or should be) a big boost for them. With 3 third place teams qualifying for the next stage, I wouldn’t be surprised that after waiting 23 years to qualify for a major tournament they make it past the group stage for the first time. We, of course, already know England’s story. Scrape through the group and lose (valiantly or miserably) against the first half decent side we play in the knockout stages.

The group of death's definitely France, Germany and Portugal though.

Still we won’t have a problem against them👀 That group of death is crazy, you have to feel for Hungary
