I imagine we’ll get beat by England (pains me to write that) then beat Croatia 5-0 in our last game when it won’t actually count for anything.

If that happens then there is a chance that Scotland will qualify as one of the four best 3rd place teams.

For me I'm finding it fascinating watching my sons (aged 12 and 14) learn how frustrating it is to be an England fan and then watch them in tournaments. So much potential but you just know that they will stumble at some point.

Yeah, I hadn't realised at time of writing that some third placed teams would also advance. I'm still not optimistic.

England v. Scotland (football) is the oldest rivalry in international sports. It's older than at least a dozen countries!
