It's only opportune because Marshall is 5 yards out of his box, staring at the clouds. Might happen in Division 2 or The National League but not at international level.

If football isn't about entertainment ultimately in these type of tournaments what's the point? Doubt Greek fans were complaining about the lack of entertainment in 2004 Or indeed the Danish fans in 1992 So it's a case of England winning at any cost regardless of how good they are?

Well, the ideal is winning and playing entertaining football like Wenger's Arsenal or Fergie's United but a team has to play to their strengths. Teams that employ a low block are just as legitimate as teams who pour forward. Not every team is blessed with fast, young, athletic players like, say, England. Croatia are an ageing squad so they had to use different tactics. It's always interesting to see how teams set up based on their resources and the manager's style If you only watch football for entertainment then you might be better off going to the cinema as it is often more tactical and attritional, or using set pieces, or defending and then relying on a counter attack like Mourinho (who I guess you must hate) As a neutral why shouldn't it be about entertainment? I've already stated that in these type of competitions it should be an enjoyable experience. If you were asking me about club football I could give you a different answer for a lot of reasons. Begs the question why you want to watch this competition then. Just to see England win at any cost? You tell me.

Only the Jocks could concede such a farcical second goal like that, useless Muppets. Stick to Shinty, lads. I doubt most of the Scots would even know the rules of Shinty PU๐ The question regarding that goal that is doing the rounds up here is this. Was Marshall just so positionally inept or was that part of Clarke's game plan? Who know's? I've never rated Clarke as a manager. Dykes just isn't good enough and the best intuative striker Scotland has isn't even in the squad. As for playing Ryan Christie...?He's had the worst season in his career and Clarke starts him. The Tartan Army know fuck about football and only see what they would like to see. Will they ever learn?

Marshall is an experienced keeper. Wouldn't surprise me if Clarke has asked him to put himself there. However, it was an absolutely, brilliant strike. Goal of the tournament so far.

So who is going to win roguepunk? Who do you tip? Obviously not England If you read my contributions earlier. You'll see my favourites. However, it's pretty open amongst the the first tier teams like France, Belgium, etc

That's fair comment if you're supporting your team.
However, certain teams do it for non football reasons.
As a neutral, it's about entertainment.
It wasn't a whitewash for Scotland and they had their chances of winning the game.
Now onto England.
If Clarke has any mettle he'll go for it against England.
If ever he had a chance to really prove himself, this is it.๐ค

I thought the Spanish were running around like headless chickens in the first half.
Still, a good result for the Swedes.

Some would see it as'anti football'.๐คจ
Others think football really only began when Sky Sports ruined the game 30 years ago and their knowledge beyond this could be written on the back of a fag packet.๐
