I think the bottom seeds are games that you can expect
To win like we did last night.  After that it gets tricky for sides like us.  We need more authoritative players. You see Robertson for Scotland.  He is the boss in the pitch because he knows he is talented and loves the leadership.  Coleman is the same but not as good but performs above himself and does that for others. We have no one else like
That in the group. McClean and Egan are great characters but they don’t make others play better and just boss 5th and 4th seeds like Robertson does.

Since the beginning of the Euro 2024 campaign in March this year alone the following have pulled off results.

Moldova 3-2 Poland
Bosnia 0-2 Luxembourg
Slovakia 0-0 Luxembourg
N.Ireland 0-1 Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan 3-2 Denmark
Wales 2-4 Armenia
Georgia 1-1 Norway

...Yet we still have a section of deluded fans thinking we have some sort of right to beating these nations every single time we face them. Not only beating mind, thinking we should be hammering them.

Theres also been half a dozen results where other nations had a "get out of jail" moment to come away with the win against the "minnows" of Europe.

Yep Greece let me down in my Bet. Italy only beat Finland 2-1 tonight too. No more Minnows really it makes our poor games against Gibraltar look all the better. 
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

Estonia just beat Croatia 3-0 in a friendly, it wasn't Croatia's strongest eleven by any means but still.
While in Asia our old foes Oman beat Bhutan 14-0, that was always a tricky one for Bhutan.

Threw a few quid on Slovakia, Poland & Scotland.
Poland seem very short for such a tricky game. I can't see Scotland winning either.

Have Armenia, Poland and Slovenia (Armenia already won) at 17/2. Poland should be winning in Montenegro, and Slovenia too big a price for the shambles Scotland are at  the minute.
Have Slovenia dnb and a small acca on Slovenia, the pub team, Slovakia -1 and btts in the Polish game. 16/1. I think the north will sneak it against an average Norway.

Slovenia were very good at home to England and should have won. I think they'll beat Scotland Tonight.

That England line up is the worst I've ever seen.
They really have fallen in the last 5-10 years.
Remember the teams they had for Euro 96 and up to 2006.

Not this campaign but they will miss out on a WC soon unless a flood of new players come in.
