It's also curious that 'celtic' international teams do well against England when they show up and play them with the right tactics. Of course, last year Iceland exposed the same defensive and mid frailties that are still evident today. I'm still livid that we 'let them off the hook' as the extra two pts would have improved our play off prospects greatly! It 'dawned on me' that great players are born for situations like 2-1 v England with just under 4 mins to go - a player who brings the baw down on his toe, 'sells a dummy' and effectively holds the ball by 'taking it for a walk', precise one touch passing, run the clock down!!! Sadly we don't have that level of player! It would still be nice if we qualified for Russia 'against all the odds' all the same.
