Very odd view of football, but whatever eh

I haven't seen the 'leak' who is the 3rd centre half?
If he's only swapping Trippier for Saka it'll be Shaw and Trippier wing backs, Walker, Maguire and Stones in the middle.
Big concern over them dominating the midfield.

We've played Czech's, Germany, Ukraine and Denmark since then, are Scotland better than them? No, so time to move on from being so negative
Very inexperienced at this kind of level as well.
Not sure how you mean, we struggled against a poor Scottish team with a defensive setup
Czechs we were lucky to win against and only created 2 chances, Germany was 50/50 as they missed their 2 big chances and we scored ours, Ukraine he was forced to change the team and despite beating then 4-0 they had a couple of chances to score and Denmark were dead on their feet after the 1st half but we still needed to 'win' a penalty to beat them and he went complete Allardyce for the 2nd period of extra time against 10 men.We've played Czech's, Germany, Ukraine and Denmark since then, are Scotland better than them?

I'm just cautious as since 1986 I've seen us manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, we have the best squad and a veritable wealth of attacking talent and he seems to place his faith in the suspect back line, hopefully I'm wrong and we manage to win but as I've said all along it will in spite of Southgate not because of him.
I’m hoping that the leaked team ends up being mind games, I think if we set up defensively Kane will become isolated against their CB’s and they will deal with him fairly comfortably. Also if it does end up being the line up its certainly concerning that a team can be leaked so early before a game of this magnitude.

Trying to chill but too nervous. Gonna get on the beers and eat some steak.

Taking a game where England played poorly and extrapolating it to the final when there have been many matches played in between. Its just odd

These leaks haven't had a great decided. Wait for three official line up, I reckon.

Beers will be flowing shortly, desperately needed I can already feel the nerves coming on. My heart rate was all over the place against Denmark good luck here.
You say that but a number of journos are saying Trippier in the starting 11 suggesting the leaks are indeed correct
Three centre backs, 2 wingbacks and and 2 defensive mids. No proper number 9.
It's fine, we play for penalties.
We keep getting told these are bold calls. They aren't. They are ultra conservative decisions.
No doubt we won't make any subs or changes either.

Looks ok to me, with mount, the wing backs getting forward. Not going to control the midfield tho...
But we defended our way to the final against teams that we should handily outplay. I heard that's how you win tournaments. Nicking two 1-0 wins, holding on to a 0-0 draw and diving in extra time for another.
England have had a midfield this tournament?
If a team played like England in the PL, then over a full season they'd be getting relegated.

I can see the headlines now, people creaming over Jorginho because he makes hundreds of sideway passes under no pressure. Read it here first

Blimey that is defensive, hope it works out if that is indeed how we go.
