Has anyone actually said that? Other than Talksport trolls? The analysis on ITV and the BBC both focused on Scotland’s midfield three being more comfortable on the ball than the England two, and the ineffectiveness of the England full backs.

Especially as it pushed Scholes wide left.

Indeed.

It’d be nice if Turkey bothered to show up for this one. They’ve been awful so far.

He and Laudrup basically won the league several times for Rangers. They had Alex Cleland and Neil Murray in their team. (Laudrup absolutely was one of the best players of his generation, on that I think we can agree). Gazza is also still an absolute legend in Rome, Lazio fans still revere him, for whatever that’s worth.

Paul Gascoigne absolutely was one of the best players of his generation. He had more talent than any of those players. He also had demons, injuries and issues which are now well publicised. I think, if anything, the off the field issues make it easy to dismiss quite how talented he was.

Wid.

Of course he does. He isn’t given a question to answer, it’s a vague “what do you think, Peter?” He’s then expected to riff.

Was just going to say this. He’s getting a bit of a doing. Just think what Robertson would do.

He was genuinely good alongside Ally McCoist last night.

I actually think they looked okay against France. France just happened to be terrific.

Thoroughly deserved. Germany have been the better team.

Yeah. He called previous Portugal teams “functional”. That’s the last word I’d have used to describe them.

It’s not a different take, though.

Germany look pretty good. They would probably win our group. They just happen to be in with France and Portugal.
