    These short free kicks are pointless from England. Put it into the box. They had to go back
    to the keeper and lost possession. No reason for opponents not to stop them with a foul.

    That must be so annoying if you're an England fan, defeats the purpose of VAR really

    He shouldn’t have made a meal of it. The shout was ridiculous.

    Expect the England psychological implosion to start from here. The hype will curdle.

    A good result for Scotland.

    If England want to be contenders, they will need to find a few extra gears.

    I'm guessing here, but perhaps they will show the Scotland game on RTE 2 and the England game on the RTE News channel?

    England look the same as they look in every single major finals. Juiced.

    Feared the worst for Scotland but they were immense. The composure of their midfield was most impressive.

    The Foden substitution was an absolute brainfart. By all means bring on Grealish but not at Foden's expense.

    606 is on BBC 5 soon I can't wait to listen to outraged callers from Essex giving out about tactics to Robbie Savage and Chris Sutton. I love Chris Sutton he's hilarious.

    Felt more like a goodwill gesture than a real game between the pair.
    I was hoping for the big Aussie to get his bonce on one and bury it but it never came to be

    HK looked tired and not in the game at all (no service from midfield didn't help)

    Sterling, Rice and Philips very poor.

    Scotland played well, deserved the point, maybe more!

    I think they (Scotland) will do the business and get through to next round.

    England, ah, yet again overhyped and may not fair well without the support of the fans. Why do the English fans boo instead of getting behind the team? Guess Rooney was onto something after all

    That tie between Scotland and Croatia is looking like a humdinger. Thought Croatia looked very poor today, a shadow of the side they were, so disjointed and leggy, but they still have Modric and other players who can produce a bit of magic.

    Scotland looked very composed and organised, but they really have no threat going forward. It could be very hard to perform at that level of commitment and concentration for another game.

    Can't call it. Both teams have to try to win it.

    England should have enough to get what they need from the Czechs, but they're a collection of individuals rather than a team. And you can already sense the level of anxiety and stress building. 2018 was fun, there was zero expectation on them, but they've built a rod for their own backs - as usual - with their own hype.
