England play better against better opposition.

No need to, old bean.

I had to look up a celtic page to refresh my memory of their formation. The first thing I learned is that the players went to Mass in the morning. Why didn’t we think of that? I doubt that their full eleven turned up at the cathedral.

Good question. Trouble is, only about four of us can answer it, the two others being @alexscottislegend and @MacK1950. Us: Martin, Johansen, McKinnon, Greig, Provan, Jardine, Dave Smith, Henderson, Alex Smith, Hynd, Johnston. Them: Simpson, Craig, McNeil, Clark, Gemmell, Murdoch, Auld, Johnstone, Chalmers, Wallace, Lennox. The select, position for position. Simpson, Johansen, McKinnon, Greig, Gemmell, Jardine, D Smith, Henderson, Wallace, Chalmers, Lennox. Fiddling around a bit, drop Johansen, put Jardine in his place and switch Greig and Dave Smith. Simpson, Jardine, McKinnon, D Smith, Gemmell, Murdoch, Greig, Henderson, Wallace, Chalmers, Lennox.

But but Bellingham. Some mistake surely.

Ach, couldnae beat a bunch of cuckoo clock makers. Good game though. Ralston is dreadful. Mackenna is nearly as bad. Gunn’s not great.

Here’s Larry. Bang one in, son.

Jings. 1-0, after a nice break. McTominay, allegedly. Looked like one of the Schweitzers lashed it high past his own ‘keeper. HANDY TIP. If you don’t want to listen to Squeallum McLeod, tune into one of the English stations. I don’t know who the commentator is but he mostly keeps quiet.

Alex Edwards - electricity on the wing.

bbc tribute footage showed one of his goals for Everton with Ibrox legends Ball and Jeffers in close attendance.

2-1 Portugal. A goal chalked off in the last minutes but their sub scores in added time for a deserved victory. Czechs under a lot of pressure but they didn’t buckle. The game is called football. How can a hand put you offside?

What a goal by the Czechs. 1-0 to them.

I thought the football was quite good. Good attacking from Portugal, good defending by the Czechs. Ronaldo’s finished. Now watch him score three.

Aye but no Scollan’ no party. (Certainly not a fancy dress party, right enough)

What a game. What an ending. What an atmosphere.

Slick but careless. Austria not bad at all. From the games I’ve seen there’s only one really poor team in the tournament.

Cracking old style goal. The beauty of execution should trump a minor infringement.

I gather you are displeased about something?

Hardly notice them, which says it all.

And both would cower at the shadow of Harry Davis - Hurlock with a haircut, some extra inches and a bit harder. Rarely dirty, though. Didn’t have to be.

Foden not the main man? Gordon is a Scotsman. He may not know it but he is. He should be compulsorily transferred to dark blue.

And Tiger Khomich, his famous predecessor.

Yashin again.

Two minutes on the clock Poland v Netherlands and I’ve muted the sound. The commentatoress is dreadful.

Some descendant of Puskas, perhaps.
