Hopefully this means Foden will play in mounts position, Sancho on the right with Grealish on the left and Kane through the middle.
This self isolating might be a blessing in disguise as it will force Gareth's hand.

Think we're actually guaranteed to go through now given the results (almost) tonight.expanded format is pants.
Yep, also means a win will be enough to put Scotland through. (or Croatia)

How often do squads have to be routinely PCR tested, regardless of symptoms and whether someone they played with/against in the previous 5 days has tested positive?
If it's anything like the Scotland game, you can join Gareth!1
I just want to see a decent performance overall from them, which doesn't preclude a draw BTW.

Come on Scotland, get that win today and let's all go through.

Screw that, I wan't Croatia to win and listen to all the Billy Gilmore excuses. It's pathetic as it is that 3rd even goes through.

Ahh it would be nice to see Scotland go through. They played really well against us and they played really well in their first game. They just have awful strikers.

So did the entire Scottish team, why aren't they all isolating?

They’re saying they spent 25 minutes together inside the tunnel after the game.

Can see a decent win tonight considering the pressure is off. Not bothered about facing a big hitter next round, if we're going to lose to them I'd rather get it out the way with instead of getting to the semis or final without really playing anyone.

Would like to see Grealish, Sancho starting and Henderson getting some minutes. Would like to see some attacking forward play. Would like to see Kane get some service, score, get some form.
Sitting back/taking it easy can go to hell.

Who the **** allowed that to happen. What a pair of clowns. No sympathy for them if that's true.
Depends on how you see it, part of me would like to see us go up against one of those Group C teams and either get hammered and show Southgate's ineptitude, or really have a go at them and show some of the skill our attacking players are capable of.
Don't care as long as we actually give it some effort, take a risk, enjoy themselves.
I suppose, but let's say for instance (tin foil hat time) that we pulled that draw off against Scotland to qualify essentially knowing that Czech can take the group on goal difference if we draw, or they won two.
So winning tonight means we put ourselves in a harder game. Die hard fans would say if you can beat the big teams then you don't deserve to win anyway, but the strategist in me would disagree.
Greece and Portugal have proved that you can win this without the least amount of energy spent.
The draw / loss tonight gives us an easier route and frankly I'd choose it.
It's even more mental to think that Southgate is a genius who planned to do that all along, because the semis and final our at home, so getting there simply is going to be a huge boost.
