    Going pub tonight and can’t remember the last Matchday I’ve been buzzing in anticipation of a game ahead.

    England should win easily but I'm sure Scotland will make a game of it.

    Scotland will be bang up for this but then so should England. We have a lot more quality and should win but not expecting an easy game at all.

    England's performances rarely match the quality in the team.

    Had a couple of mates coming over to watch it but have had to cancel as my wife has to self isolate. Gutted but at least I’ve still got loads of beer and crisps to keep me company. Really looking forward to the game

    If England score early I reckon we will win comfortably 3 0 or 4 0
    Even if we don't score early I still expect us to win

    I would of been tempted by a pub garden if it was nice but will stay home and just have a couple and watch it properly.
    Can hardly remember the 2nd half of the Croatia game I was so messy

    Hard to leave Phillips out after his performance, Mount and Sterling too.
    Will be interesting to see how Gareth thinks we should set up.

    Sleepover at Teggie's tonight, got my Beer Hawk Machine and kegs all packed up ready to go, 82 England away shirt to be deployed, bacon rolls to start shortly, then a few beers and a pre-match BBQ in the rain.

    I have those nerves you get before Millwall or Palace, cant wait for the game later but fear losing it more than I can imagine winning it as we get closer to kick off.

    If all goes well I could be dancing in the streets of Rochester later tonight! 

    I love and hate playing Scotland, I miss and don't miss the Home Internationals at the same time, found a pile of Shoot Magazines in the loft yesterday and was laughing at Alan Rough and wincing at Ray Clemence,             
    England V Scotland is such a massive, awkward, wonderful fixture. I love it, (I think).

    Is it weird I like that it'll probably be tipping it down?  Feels more like a derby somehow.

    The Scots will be happy with the current 0-0 scoreline

    Scotland are going to get stuck in I think we should play Grealish instead of Sterling simply as he will love tacking the piss and winning free kicks.

    Then Sterling can come on when they are knackered.

    The overconfidence makes me nervous. It's 90 minutes, anything can happen... An early sending off, a Scotland pen out of nowhere and then they're backs to walls... it's football, we know how it goes.

    I much prefer my wife to self-isolate when I am watching footy  ;)

    yep - mate has a table in the George Staples so I've got myself on that, not watched a game in a pub for a long time,

    shame the weather isn't a bit better!

    I tried booking there the other day for every England game on route to the final and all fully booked.

    Getting the train up to London in next hour or so. Always love playing Scotland as a lot of my family come down for the game and get to see them guys.

    Second game I have seen live since Middlesbrough in March 2020. Let’s hope England win.

    Scotland's cup final and so often in the past things have levelled out despite form and having better players.
    I have a good feeling about tonight though.
    Comfortable 3-0 win.

    I do understand how the Scots think the media are obsessed with 66 and they are sick of the coverage being so Anglo-centric, similarly I find the narrative around 'plucky Scotland' drives me mad, they literally just have to turn up and their 'brave brave Scotland', it does my head in.

    I feels sometimes that even if it was 9-0 to England we would have to endure hours of 'if that half chance had been tucked away in the first minute and 8 of the goals had missed then it would have been a different story'.

    To my many Scottish friends, some of which are on here, I hope we royally gub you today and you can shove your boogie boogie up your arse!

    Thankfully, The Mitre Greenwich have just confirmed they’ve moved my groups table indoors due to the weather.

    If we come second in the group do we get an easier next round route ?
    if so draw this and let someone else knock them out

    Watching it with my boys at my youngest's house - it will get messy (but we're staying over so no driving).

    I won't be singing Flower of Scotland tonight!

    COME ON ENGLAND!!

    If we win the group we can't play Belgium, Italy or France until the final.

    Win the group first.

    The great british weather will not stop me watching this in my outdoor bar. In fact I’m sorely tempted to have a beer soon.

    The missus has already put on her Scotland top.

    Some comments were made & Polo will not be getting any this weekend, but it'll be worth it when Kane buries his second to put us 4-0 up at HT.

    Shaw and James coming in for Walker and Trippier. Happy with that

    No prediction from me, I just can’t.

    But I tell you this, I don’t remember being this nervous before a game for ages.

    C’mon England, pleeeeeeeeeease 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️
