What a very boring and uneventful England vs Scotland fixture this has been.

This is most interesting goalless draw match i have seen in a while, England should be thankful they could have lost this game and the one point, because they lacked ideas in this game, they have to do better. Scotland on the other hand, a very fantastic display from Billy Gilmour, and that man of the match win for him is a wonderful way to start his first match for his country.

Yeah! Scots played a very brave game today, they completely nullified England with a rougher duel game. As a result, Scotland ended up with more chances than England.

The Czech Republic and England lead Group D with four points each, while Croatia and Scotland have one point each. The final round, the matches on Tuesday, June 22, will determine which teams will continue competing.

I think, in Ukraine - Austria we will see a draw. Or the win match for Ukraine team. This is my bet 
Ukraine team was pretty good against Netherlands and win against Macedonia. So the third time the most probable outcome is a draw. And Austria has not the best team (they had lost to Netherlands 2-0 )

What a very boring and uneventful England vs Scotland fixture this has been. The goalless draw really ruined a lot of people's bets.

We haven't seen top class matches in group stages, hopefully after second round things will change. Teams play more controlled football now, even a draw is too important for them.
I'm not surprised England - Scotland game finished as draw. Now all teams have a chance to qualify, last matches will show us qualifiers. They will play with death group qualifiers so it's also important to not get caught on France in early rounds of the tournament.

England continues the journey of lack of persuasion despite all the treasures it possesses without benefiting from them.
Scotland is a respectable and daring team and even excelled in its clearest chances and greater courage most of the minutes of the match. Even in the Czech match, it was very good. I hope they qualify among the best 3rd, and we will see them in the next round because they deserve it.
Southgate and more question marks over his choices, substitutions and ideas.

Pretty disappointed so far from England, only draw with Scottland.

For now.

TIER 1
France

TIER 2
ITALY BELGIUM SPAIN PORTUGAL NEDERLAND SPAIN

In this order, I don't wanna put Italy in Tier 1 yet since France is based with aliens.

I think, in Ukraine - Austria we will see a draw. Or the win match for Ukraine team. This is my bet 

Its a good one, though i wouldn't bet on this but then, with the fact that Austra lost to the Netherlands just yesterday, loosing there forth coming game against Ukraine would be no option for them. It would mean 6points gone and shows them the way out of the competition. Ukraine on the other hand would be plyallaying from home and as such, have got the home advantage and won't fail to put in a good fight for which, a draw is inevitable. Though, its the most unlikely of bets to predict when it comes to me.

Was surprised to have seen the 2 fixtures for today play out in a draw. I suppose this is also why its hoped that Ukraine vs Austria fixture would have same results. As the games gets going, the teams becomes the more tough. Goal-Goal draw and Goalless draw. Today was written off.

Imagine, Harry Kane made only 19 touches in the entire 74 minutes he played. Even the Scotland goalkeeper had more touches than him  
This is what we have always been talking about. The way the media hypes the players after a few good qualification matches and when it reaches to the business side of competitions. They crumble.

Game ended 0:0, but it wasn't boring. Before game I said that Scotland have no chances today, but I was completely wrong. They were much better than I expected. While England were nothing special tonight. For Scotland, draw isn't perfect score, but it keeps their hopes to go furthervalive. While for England, draw isn't disaster. Maybe it only hits their ambitions after mocking Scottish football for decades.

You weren't the only one completely wrong... I thought the game will be a training mode for England...apparently I overestimated them too much. Games involving group D teams are very unpredictable for real.

TIER 1
France

TIER 2
ITALY BELGIUM SPAIN PORTUGAL NEDERLAND SPAIN

Until now I put France and Italy in the same level followed up by the teams you mentioned except Spain (Spain x2 BTW in the text) which I want to see how it will perform against Poland first.

[Slow death]

these euro games are a box full of surprises

Group E

Spain - Poland

Spain needs to win this game, a defeat will be bad for them, and to think that Spain would tie any game, I was confident that Spain would end up winning every game

Group D

england 0 - 0 scotland

unbelievable, england couldn't win

[Rabi3]

i think it's better to avoid the few first matches of the groups, since England were not obligated to win that match or they're out, they didn't want to risk it and go all attack leaving their defense open, they tried but it ended a draw, and they're not in a bad spot right now. decisive matches are better to bet on and guess what could happen.

A terrible management from Southgate when he decided to play in front of a team that had less quality than him he again got into playing with two defensive midfielders , ok nothing changed, at the time he wanted to involve Grealish, it was obvious that he would take one defensive midfielder out , but he brought out Phil Foden who had just entered the atmosphere of the meeting, his idea It was the transfer of Raheem Sterling on the right and Jack on the left, but suddenly he decided to take out the his most dangerous player that is Harry Kane in the last 20 minutes and put in his place Rashford, so why clear the penalty area from a striker instead of involving an additional striker in front of a defensive team of five, these things are not Absolutely justified, you feel that there are no clear ideas for the best team at the level of individuals and the substitutions are more terrible than that.

Group D: England vs Scotland
The eternal rivals will meet, and I believe England will win the game with some ease.

Fantastic game for Scotland, who managed not to concede goals and was very close to scoring several times.
I wasn't expecting this draw, but it was deserved by the Scots.

The result of the England vs Scotland match was really not what I expected. It's not the result that many people expected because I know England can be underdog against Scotland. But in the end I totally understand why we shouldn't expect much from England if we don't want to be disappointed. Second place will probably keep England safe from qualifying for the next round, but honestly I wish they had managed to win more match.

Quite an embarrassing result for the England squad who are very superior in Group D, to be honest, at the end of the first half, I immediately turned off the television because the game I thought was very boring, even though both teams had many chances, but both teams only created 1 shot on target, I was hoping the match between England and Scotland would score a lot of goals but it turned out that the match had to end with the score 0-0 , and for a team like England of course it wasn't their best performance so far.
With these results, each team in Group D still has a great chance to qualify for the round of 16 and the final matchday will determine the fate of each team in this group.

I wasn't expecting this draw, but it was deserved by the Scots.

One of the most exciting matches in the tournament so far, although it ended in a goalless draw. It was a match between two sides of equal strength, but the stats would say otherwise (possession wise, England is at 61%, compared to 39% for Scotland). But Soctland had more shots, and shots on target, when compared to England (11 vs 9, 2 vs 1). It was a superb performance by the Scotland defenders yesterday. But their chances of progressing in to the next stage (knockout phase) is very slim.

[cygan]

in today's three games, preliminary decisions could already be made...
poland and germany should at least not lose their games to still have a theoretical chance to reach the 1/8-finals
and these are the games today:

hungary - france
portugal - germany
spain - poland


and very good news from denmark
Christian Eriksen has been successfully operated on after his cardiac arrest and has been released from hospital. before heading home, he visited his teammates.

If the Scot can win their last game they stand a stance of qualifying for the next round of the competition provided that the English team lose to Czech Republic the English team is not that reliable despite having a squad of quality players in their team having watch their last two matches I was not really impressed, their attack not sharp enough Kane was a shadow of former self and noting spectacular about the team, yesterday match said it all, southgate has a alot of work to do on the team if they really want to go far in the competition else they won't qualify from the group state.

Harry Kane didn't look good at all. Not sure what's wrong with him, he's normally better than he has been in this tournament.
But yes, the way the media have it, it has to be one extreme or the other, England are either utterly useless or else supreme world-beaters... there's no in between. And of course, as always, in between is precisely where the truth is.

[Igebotz]

This is not the tournament I expected, everything has been boring, off-standard, overrated on papers, so many boring games, everything is looking like qualifier matches. Germany 0 point, Spain 1 point, Denmark 0 point, Switzerland 0 point, Croatia 1 point, from two matches. Europe 2016 created R.Sanchesz of Portugal I'm yet to see any raising star from this tournament. My bets is crying

Yeah it looks like the teams are playing very carefully and this has led to boring games.In Germany I blame the coach,Joachim Loew is there from quite a lot of years and it is time for renewal.He is guilty of their loss against France as he put an almost 40 year defender to keep an eye on a young exploding Mbappe.For the other games I don't know what to say,Spain dominated the game against Sweden but was unlucky,Switzerland is not what it used to be anymore and also Croatia,at least so far.
