If the other home nations were at the top of the rankings and were going deep into Tournaments it might mean a bit more, but it's only the Tournaments themselves that make games meaningful. Eg a friendly against Germany isn't that important, but if it was in a Tournament then it's mega big.

Truthfully, England don't really have a 'massive' footballing rival anymore. Scotland have been poor for too long, and England have been poor enough in major international tournaments that we haven't recorded the big wins required over other big footballing nations (France, Germany, Spain, Brazil etc.) to really develop a rivalry with any of them. If we manage to send an Italy or France packing at Euro 2024 then a rivalry may start to develop, but I can't see us having a Brazil-Argentina or Germany-Netherlands or France-Italy type rivalry for a long time.

[@ecaeas4439]

Rivalries often build in silence tbh. As England, we have focused way too much on how many times Germany has ruined tournament hopes for us, and I think for a lot of people, that fixture takes more meaning on that it really deserves to. Most of the time historically, Germany has had better national teams. That doesn't always mean they had better quality players (although most of the time they did), but there's nothing you can really do about that. England have let that Rivalry define expectations for tournaments into a really narrow window, and often lost sight of the need to just do well, no matter who we were faced with. Every time you play Germany is a chance to beat them, and it's entirely different each time.

Hopefully this time Kane can win the Golden Boot again at the World Cup perhaps with two tap-ins, two (three?) penalties and a deflection off his heel when he was looking elsewhere.

​@@kevoneoneI've no dog in the fight mate lol, Northern Ireland fella here. But I fancy it. Only joking about the 100 lol, £25 on it though.

[@kevoneone]

@davidg5305 the game means a lot more to Scotland than to England and with the Scottish crowd I can see them winning

[@IamTheStormThatIsApproaching1]

Of course it means more to the Scots lmao. The Scots hate us, we don't really care about them that much. They would take a 9-0 loss to Estonia as long as they could beat us 2-0 in the next game. That's the scots summed up when it comes to england. 😂

[@kevwhufc8640]

Although tbf , I preferred the football when all teams in the old 1st division had at least one top Scottish player in their team, Before the foreign invasion, imo we should restrict the amount of non British players in the prem,

Love Jim’s cheeky grin when he knows he’s under Simons skin lol

[@AstonTheVillaFan]

Be honest, who In the slightest cares about a friendly against Scotland 😅 hope mcginn gets a brace lol

[@benv1284]

Everyone knows England are the superior team, so we English don’t really care. For the Scots a result is actually an achievement, not a formality, so they of course care more

[@ScottishRoss27]

So superior they only managed to draw the last 2 v us

[@SupportEmail-c3k]

Would love to see a six nations type thing between the UK teams. Every 2 years would be good fun. We could also add a couple teams from the common wealth we can initiate each year. It’s a strange relationship as English cheer in the other home nations in tournament’s.

[@b6pablo]

No point England would win everytime no competition at least rugby is a little more competitive between all the teams

[@gillie-monger3394]

I'm English and I don't "cheer" other home nations! Why the f**k would I? And I don't know of any English supporters who do either. I couldn't care less one way or the other about the other h/nation teams.

[@Martin-kl1vk]

Well it's good for the young kids in the international teams and it is a bit of a window for them it should be back and Evey 2years is a good idea

[@neovarleydownes9109]

This game means nothing, compared to what it "used" to mean. I remember the 50's, through to 1984, when the Home Nations Competition was alive and kicking (I still miss it) and we did have some fiery affairs and to beat each other, especially England vs Scotland, meant everything. But that was back in the day when Scotland actually had a Squad worth talking about, especially in the 70's. Sorry Scotland, but now there is not one playing that one could describe as "World Class", where as back in the day, the Scottish Squad was littered with them. Now, for England to beat Scotland, even with the Squad as weak as it is, thanks' to Southgate, is no big deal and to beat England means more to the Scottish Supporters, than it does to most Englishmen. Ireland and Wales too, had some brilliant Players back in the day, sadly not so much now.

@@tevildo45 You are right "Irelands" is not, but Ireland" is, or, if you insist on being pedantic about it, "Northern Ireland" is. It is Éire that is not.

[@neovarleydownes9109]

@@andrewjoyce9038 Under Southgate, yes they are. They have no chance of ever winning another World Cup, or ever winning the Euro's, the Squad is not good enough and even less so with Southgate in charge. England are fine, until they come up against one of the top Nations and then they fall flat on their face and fail miserably. When was the last time England beat France, Belgium, Brazil, Argentina, Croatia, Italy, etc. in a Competition. That is the problem with a lot of Englishmen, delusions of grandeur when it comes to the English Football National Side and think it is their God given right to win. One World Cup, 57 years ago and nothing else before, or since,, tells us all, it is not.

Simon Jordan now saying Englands World cup win doesn't count as its been over 55 years ago so not modern football?

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Scottish professors of pass is when football became what it is now. Simon is just a close minded mouse brain about football. Simon watching Piers Morgan (no matter if he agrees with him or not) sums him up.

[@JohnCambridge-gw3ox]

It's like England vs the Republic of Ireland it means to the Republic

[@cuebj]

Age 68. Don't know anyone who is especially interested in games with Scotland. The days of Alan Ball being all fired up to hate the Scots are long gone. It's the silly excessive desperation of the Scotch fans that makes it so funny to defeat their team while not really caring. Didn't bother to watch the game

[@brooklyniron1999]

Jim seems fixated on getting Simon to tell him that Scotland matters to him. Evidently this is a futile endeavor.
