Scotland.

Please tell me the next game will be an 8pm start? I want England to send me to sleep at a reasonable time.

Probably, but can absolutely hold their heads high. Just not getting embarrassed in the groups was the likely goal going in, so to get into the last 16 has been incredible. Everything Scotland should be and aren't.

It's exactly how England should have set out today, they've got the players for it.

Hint for England players, the goal you're supposed to be attacking is the opposite direction you're passing in.

Nothing wrong with the 3 bookings so far, two stopped promising counterattacks, the other was studs on a boot.

Nope, England's own fault for passing backwards when it should have been forwards.

It's okay, the BBC says England need to worry about "dark horses" Switzerland in the QF. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cv2glz4r4zgo

As if things weren't hurting enough, now we have another team yet again waltzing in for the very first time, and making it to the 2nd round. Well done Georgia, joining the likes of Iceland, Wales, & N. Ireland in succeeding where we have abysmally failed at 14 times.

Southgate looked at Clarke's tactics and took it as a template rather than a warning.

We win the partying, singing, and fan cup treble again, yay.

Far more the first, but that also feeds into the latter coming through as a result. When you struggle to muster even 5 shots on target over 3 games, and your two goals scored are for all intents own goals, you end up like we did, lucky to even get 1 point. We were so cautious in a "must-win" game, I think Clarke must go out with a life jacket when using the hose in his garden! Then giving our top club scorer a total of 25 of 270 minutes playing time was also a hugely bad decision. I accept we had a lot of injuries at the back ahead of the tournament, but that just makes the ultra defensive play all the more baffling to me. We had both Tierney/Robertson at the back, and a midfield who can be very solid on the ball, yet we didn't do anything to take advantage of the one major strength we had.

Don't think we need to ask that question, given the BBC's track record of providing xenophobes a platform to preach from on so many occasions.

Not a pen for me, mainly thanks due to Armstrong's wretched first touch that takes the ball away from him. If he had a better hold of it initially, it have been a nailed on pen.

Can change the title now to we'll be going.

Yup, utterly wasted the 1st half with a stall so defensive, you'd have thought we'd qualified already and just happy to draw.

Fitting end as well for all the time-wasting Slovenia were doing. Though getting rather worrying the extent of beer cup throwing onto the pitch, can't really keep letting that go without some sort of action.

Utterly stupid back passing, had multiple chances to leather it clear.

Not enough Giorgis in that line-up.

DUP next for the GE?

Not there yet of course. Regardless, Clarke in relative terms is pretty much our Southgate, good record/results on paper which baffles outsiders as to why some fans want rid. Then when you watch the product on the pitch, you start to see why. I'd agree the greater issue is who replaces him more than anything, no Scottish manager comes to mind.

Yup. John Collins against Brazil, and Craig Burley against Norway both at France 98.

I personally put this down to yet another poor showing from Paul Pogba.

Pity Sir Alex has long retired. Can you imagine the drama if this injury time policy was adopted while he was still managing?

Well yeah, I'm such a huge England fan as you know and listen to every bit of news about them. Good news then it was scrapped. Always thought it was a barmy thing to have, plus just a kiss of death for the manager, and would have been if it kept.
