Football : World Cup 2026

[thenry]

I had a group of Scottish girls in the same carriage as me travelling to clapham junction. Bloody loud mouths singing away about Clarkes army and they can't hear England I would have loved to see their reaction to that early goal. They done my heading.

Well it finished 1 - 0, so looking a little more difficult for Scotland now.

England - predict a loss to Croatia, a draw against Ghana , and then beat Panama to scrape into the next round, but again won 't progress much further ( unless they meet Scotland of course )

Nostradamus would be proud Mr K.

It does feel like we'll need to outscore any opponents, given how we defended.

A good analysis.
