England 0. Scotland 0.
Zeroes up at Wembley Stadium. A valiant effort for the Scotsmen. An underwhelming outing for the Three Lions. Roaring first game but Southgate ball is beginning to look tame. No midfield progression, little creativity in attack, slow build-up. James to Stones. Stones to Mings. Mings to Rice. Rice to Shaw. And the cycle continues. Harry Kane, the supposed talisman, putting on his engine lights after 20’. Feeling like Genesis the way Cain went missing. Sterling has the gun tatted on his calf but still won’t shoot. Declan Rice asking for Billy Gilmour’s autograph at FT. La Cobham running the European stage. Blowing hard and balling harder. Che Adams dropping a clinic. Stephen O’Donnell putting in a shift on the right flank. Grant Hanley pocketing white like Escobar. After this performance, it’s looking like football is staying on vacation. Serious questions need to be asked. Are the media over-estimating England’s chances, or was it just not their day?
