Do you have to turn everything political!! Its a football match between the two oldest teams in international football at a major tournament and a game that is usually tight, exciting and often blood and thunder football, can't we celebrate that?? Southgate is the England manager, he isn't some intellectual scribe so I would expect him to make some mistakes in interviews, doesn't mean it's politically motivated!! Maybe he will call our next opponent Czechslovakia!! And if you are going to criticize Rangers fans for their St Georges square stupidity, then you should also be criticizing any Scotland fans who travel to this game if they don't have a ticket.
On to the game, as usual I don't have a ton of faith that England will win this game as they should. These games are often too tight, Scotland has a habit of raising their game a few notches for this one and we often don't!! If that happens then it could be close. As you say your biggest problem is scoring goals, you don't have a striker that is clinical and this will continue to hurt you. We on the other hand are blessed with forward thinking players but they have to turn up. We have to take advantage of the chances we will create.
As someone else said a couple of days ago on here, this has a 3-0 England win or 0-1 Scotland win written all over it!! I'd wish you luck but I would be being disingenuous, but if we were able I would happily have a beer after the game no matter the score!!
