Full-time: England 3-0 Scotland


Three sharp finishes enabled England to take advantage of shoddy Scottish defending. Scotland, who pressed England well and passed better than the hosts in the first half, had chances to score and really rattle England but they fluffed them. Neither side showed enough quality to suggest they’ll be challenging for the World Cup but the result means England are closing in on the tournament. Scotland, meanwhile, are second from bottom in the group and may soon be searching for a new manager. Strachan’s approach to this game was good, mind

Regarding Strachan's job security, the commentator suggested that either of the two managers future could depend on the match result. But the players have to perform; some of the English sloppy back passing etc. could have gone badly wrong for them.

I'm not supprised Scotland got beat. Why were they wearing pinkish shirts? I thougt the national colour is dark blue?  It annoys me when teams don't wear their first team shirts whenever possible.

Agree with you Jim it's one of my pet hates ,but I've always wondered why England from day one have played in white shirts and blue shorts , when the national flag is of course red and white.

They won the World Cup when they wore red and white
