“England falls on the nose”

Guardian: “England was disappointed with steely Scotland. England had the points, they had the quality of the stars and the theory was that they would take home their favorite role and make a statement on their way to the 16th round of this European Championship. So much so. Instead, it turned into a night of despair as mistakes became apparent in Gareth Southgate’s offensive schedule at Wembley and Scotland showed their old rivals that writing them down was dangerous.”

BBC: “Real hope for Scotland, but a wake-up call for England. The sound of the ‘Flower of Scotland’ at one end of Wembley Stadium and the loud sound coming from the other end of the stadium were the initial conclusions of goalless England at Euro 2020 and Match between Scotland.”
