Scotland's MOTM tonight is between Gilmour and Maguire.

Edit...currently 2nd in the BBC Sport Rate the players on 7.50 behind Bellingham on 8.27. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66790558

The only armband Maguire needs at the moment is one that he can blow up. He's clearly drowning.

He'll go to swap shirts at the end of the game with one of the England players.

The thing is, that's exactly the kind of OG Dunk used to score about 5-10 years ago. But he's matured as a player and phased out errors like that. He's 31. Maguire is still making those mistakes. In March, he'll be 31.

What Dunk and Maguire have in common is that they're both very consistent. (I'll let you fill in the rest.)

Maguire comes up trumps again.

FIFA's Infantino in the VIP section: "Today, I feel Scottish."

Jill Scott on Dunk: "He looks like he's got 50 plus England caps." He would've done under a different manager.

Very assured 1st half from Dunk. Commanding and in control.

A lovely reception for God Save The King.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Having won 7 games total in the last 2 seasons and with a rookie QB, it's going to take a while for DeMeco to turn it around. Inexperience cost them on and off the field, but some decent signs from the D in the 2nd half sacking Lamar 3 times. I'd bite...

I agree with everything you've written, but the quoted bit did make me especially think. Even the very best managers have sell-by dates when what they bring to the team has been absorbed. It's either then reinvention and/or refining the existing, or repetition and decline. Familiarity breeds...

Italy in the Euros Final was probably the most disappointing of all. And not the outcome of the penalties themselves for me. Despite being 1-0 up after 2 minutes, England finished extra-time with 35% possession and 2 shots total on target including the goal...

One man's negative and odd is another's realistic and understandable. But it's always been a game of opinions. With a FIFA ranking at the time of 5, England beat Iran (20) and Wales (19), but failed to beat the United States (16). We could easily have been a goal or two down against Senegal...

After England's build-up, a reassuringly committed performance overcoming the numerical odds. It's nigh-on impossible to defend a drop-goal from just over the halfway line. What a weapon England have in Ford's boot.

That's the only reason Crodo's watching. :wink:

Brighton College now represented on the field. :)

Nothing wrong with being 52. (Ahem.) Happy birthday Bozza! 🍾

Death by a thousand kicks. (Ok, just 8 so far, but it's doing the job nicely.)
