The game with the most crow's feet in the world, England-Scotland with a final episode at Wembley, showed how important emotional antagonism is to level out revelry.

That

Tartan Army

of

Steve Clarke

, order as much heart left the talented and proud English combined with a span of noses.

The outcome of the group is, however, quite definite.

If England and the Czech Republic, both with four points, tie in the last round, both will be classified for the second round.

Time for the ill-wishers.

Scotland and Croatia, even at one point, would have no other choice but to fight to be one of the best third.

[Narration and statistics]

Without sounding like the complaint of those who refuse to evolve, and without the intention of hating - even more - that of modern football, before all this was more fun. Oh, that Euro 1996. The young

Foden

, blurred and replaced, will be able to bleach his hair to pay tribute to the ruffian

Gascoigne

. Yes, that devilish genius. But just going through the hairdresser and playing football like the gods is not enough. No one wants you to celebrate by lying with your mouth open and waiting for a cascade of whiskey to fall into the slots. Gazza scored his best goal for England precisely against the hated Scottish enemy. Also at Wembley. And he did it by humiliating captain

Colin Hendry

with a hat

, and catching a volley with which he tortured the goalkeeper for years.

Andy Goram

.

He was a teammate in the Rangers.

What difference does it make.

Goram would have finished with him.

Gascoigne had no qualms about wallpapering that Glasgow dressing room with pictures of the goal.

Still today, Gascoigne, apparently recovered from his problems with alcohol and drugs, made a brush and with a little beard from

Sir

, says that the first thing he will do if England wins this European Championship is to go to the first pub.

We will see.

Imperceptible Kane

Because Scotland showed England that the road, again, can be twisted. While it is true that

Southgate's did have

some good options in the first half -

Stones

headed just off the post from a corner, while

Mount

and

Kane

saw their spikes also not found a destination - the Scots never did. saw tremble. Quite the opposite. The beardless

Billy Gilmour

, who his recent breakthrough at Chelsea won the European Championship prize with Scotland, behaved like a war veteran.

McTominay

, midfielder for Manchester United, and

Tierney

A full-back at Arsenal, they were fabled in Clarke's defense of three. The meeting of both was faultless. Hanley narrowed throat gaps alongside

McGinn

and

McGregor

so Mount, Foden and

Sterling

couldn't connect with a dry Kane. As if that were not enough, an extraordinary volley from

O'Donnell

, uncontrollable for

Shaw

, required

Pickford

one of those saves that made him so famous at the World Cup in Russia. It was that, by the way, the only auction between the three suits of all the first half. The selection of the

Three Lions

had been left to zero.

Scotland's extreme order and discipline turned the English ball circulation into a succession of chapters

of

Joyce's

Ulysses

. Although Southgate, restless on the bench, insisted that his players forget about academic football to go wild. This allowed goalkeeper Marshall to release the gloves with a good kick from Mount. James, one of the novelties on the shore, also tried it from afar. Although the most meritorious action of the winger was to take a shot from

Lyndon Dykes

under sticks

whose thread threatened glory.

Kane, strangely spectral at this tournament start, was not improved by

Rashford

.

And Sterling was stunned when he saw Spanish referee

Mateu Lahoz

ignore a stomp in the area.

Nothing objected to the VAR.

Certain.

England should be in the round of 16.

But the propaganda suddenly turns against him.
