Posted June 5, 20214 yr England games have their own threads! Take a look here: England vs Croatia England vs Scotland Czech Republic vs England Sunday 13th June England v Croatia (2pm)- Wembley- BBC One / iPlayer Monday 14th June Scotland v Czech Republic (2pm)- Hampden Park- BBC One / iPlayer Friday 18th June Croatia v Czech Republic (5pm)- Hampden Park- BBC One / iPlayer England v Scotland (8pm)- Wembley- ITV / ITV Hub Tuesday 22nd June Czech Republic v England (8pm)- Wembley- ITV / ITV Hub Croatia v Scotland (8pm)- Hampden Park- ITV4 / ITV Hub Odds to win Group D (Coral) England 2/5f Croatia 10/3 Czech Republic 11/1 Scotland 12/1 Who do you think will win Group D?
June 7, 20214 yr Are the Czechs really that bad now? I see 3 banana skins here for England really but then again every fixture is with the weight of expectation that they didn't have at the 2018 WC. Scotland sneaking through as a 3rd-place qualifier would be nice for them.
June 7, 20214 yr I think England will win the group and Croatia will finish second I’m really hoping that Scotland can finish 3rd and hopefully sneak through as one of the best 3rd place teams. Our first game against the Czechs is probably our most important one as we really need to beat them.

Scotland sneaking through as a 3rd-place qualifier would be nice for them. It's a tough group, although we have home advantage. I think Scotland are being really underestimated, a win against Czech Republic and it's massive for them. That game against Scotland at Wembley is going to be massive. Even though we have a much better squad, it's a Derby game. I always hate playing other Home Nations and ROI.
June 8, 20214 yr Yeh the Czechs are a decent side similar to Scotland now. Scotland are decent as Steve Clarke is a decent manager, can see him being Celtic boss soon! Didn’t the Czechs beat England in the last qualifiers?
June 8, 20214 yr I feel like we're in for a surprise here and the surprise is the Czechs. I actually think any team that comes from this group could do damage in the knockouts rounds and Scotland is one of the strongest potential 4th-place finishers in the tournament. Poor them being put into this stacked group! England won't have an easy time with any of these squads, a stark contrast to them always seemingly getting the easiest qualifying groups lol. A rivalry match and those are always nervy, a World Cup semifinal re-match, and a team that is on the rise and beat them in qualifying recently? Yeah, this group won't be as elementary as some experts might lead you to believe. Czech Republic England Croatia Scotland Edited June 8, 20214 yr by DJHazey
June 16, 20214 yr This thread isn't getting any love because of the individual matches so here's some small hype towards the crunch Croatia vs Czech Republic match.
June 18, 20214 yr Semi-watching this alongside the charts and when I saw the equalizer I genuinely thought I was watching a replay :lol: Perfect timing, a stunning shot!
June 18, 20214 yr From watching that match I can conclude one of two things - that the Czechs are better than I can ever remember them being, or that Croatia really aren't the same team that reached the World Cup Final...
June 18, 20214 yr From watching that match I can conclude one of two things - that the Czechs are better than I can ever remember them being, or that Croatia really aren't the same team that reached the World Cup Final... All of Croatia's best players are old now. Czech Republic are better than they have been recently, they have a few handy players but nowhere near the same level as some of their golden generations of the 90s and 00s!
June 21, 20214 yr People forget that Croatia reaching the WC final in 2018 was a massive shock in itself. At the start of the tourno they weren't in the conversation at all. Ppl think they were a really strong team because they beat a really average England team but they really overachieved.
June 21, 20214 yr They are a decent side though one of them teams in the end of League A or the top of League B in the Nations Leaghe draws, I mean Luka Modric is one of the best midfielders in the world over the past 10 years for one.
