Euro 96 - match day 8: 🇸🇪 🇸🇰 🇭🇷 🇨🇿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Heard a good trivia question earlier:

In which year did England beat Scotland in a European Championships group match at Wembley?
and for a bonus point, who scored the 2nd goal??

Only just realised the last time Scotland and England played against each other in a major tournament that Paul Gascoigne scored and did a mad celebration.

They must have unearthed some rare never seen before footage or something.

Czech! Czech! Czech!

The Czech are high on confidence after a smashing 2 - 0 victory in their first game.

A few fun facts for you:

  • they have never beaten Croatia
  • their 3 previous meetings produced 12 goals, an average of 4 per game
  • only twice before have they won their first two matches at a major tournament
  • the pun-tastic Patrik Schick had 5 of his 7 shots on target in the first match
  • manager Jaroslav Šilhavý holds the record for most appearances in the Czech League: 465
  • in 2011 goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík signed a 3 year deal with Dutch team De Graafschap, only to see the deal cancelled when he failed his medical. He was supposed to replace Boy Waterman

Pojďme udělat ty lidi!

What’s Chilwell done wrong? Feels like he should have a crack.

very jealous of England’s full back situation though, especially since the Castagne injury
they should be forced to give a right back to every other team in the tournament imo

Let’s keep it good natured today, I don’t want anybody to walk away from tonight’s game feeling upset

I was wondering about this after the reason they didn’t have the Gazprom was to do with not letting sponsors in without quarantining.
