20:18, 4 minutes ago

GOAL! England 0-1 Czech Republic
20:13, 9 minutes ago
GOAL!!!! England takes the lead thanks to a goal from Raheem Sterling. Jack Grealish sends in a fantastic cross for the Man City winger, who easily heads it in. The crowd in the stands is ecstatic!
Kane's inclusion as a surprise?
20:12, 11 minutes ago
Harry Kane hasn't been at his best in any of the matches so far, and after he appeared to be suffering during the 0-0 draw with Scotland, there were suggestions that he should be benched for tonight's encounter. The captain, on the other hand, is here and starting the line - will he show up today?
After a Kane collision, England was given a free-kick.
20:10, 12 minutes ago

The England team takes a knee (and so do some Czech players)
20:02:20:02:20:02:20:02:20:02
Before the whistle, the entire squad took a knee in anti-racism unity, and it didn't appear like there were many booing. Even though this blogger is watching the game through a live stream.
Kick-off: 0-0 in the Czech Republic 0-0 draw between England and Croatia

Let's get started, let's get started!
"It's just a weird scenario," Southgate says of Mount and Chilwell missing the game.
19:55, 27 minutes ago
ITV's Gareth Southgate: "They [Mount and Chilwell] are upset that they will not be able to attend the games. We had no choice but to get on with it. It's a peculiar scenario. They were in a reasonably wide place for 120 seconds too long [with Billy Gilmour]. For me, it's a jumble of paradoxes, but we have to get on with it. To be honest, I have no idea what's going on.
"Teams are traveling for hours by plane, bus, or coach, and our two lads have been apprehended. I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't have a problem with Steve or Scotland. I don't want them to experience any more problems than we had. It's just an odd scenario.
Clarke: 'The crowd have got a big part to play tonight'
36 minutes ago 19:46
Steve Clarke to STV: "The only decision was whether to stick with the same back three or move Scott McTominay into midfield - I think it was quite an easy decision.
"The start of the game might be a little bit cagey - but I've been wrong before.
"The crowd have got a big part to play tonight. We need them from the first minute to the last. I know they'll be there for us."
🗣 McGinn: 'Three points to make history'
49 minutes ago 19:33
Scotland midfielder John McGinn to STV: "The boys know the task in hand - three points to make history.
"We've watched a lot of Croatia recently and even though they've had criticism they're still a top side.
"We need the same belief and determination as the other night at Wembley. We played with bravery, commitment, and quality - if we do that again we give ourselves every chance."
What does Scotland need to qualify for the knockouts? 🏴
59 minutes ago 19:23
Scotland can secure second place if they beat Croatia and England lose against the Czech Republic.
However, it would require a sizeable swing in goal difference, since England are currently three goals better off.
If Scotland fails to beat Croatia (who also have just one point so far) they will be eliminated. Should England and the Czech Republic draw and move up to five points, then Scotland can't finish in the top two automatic qualification places.
The most likely way for Scotland to qualify would be as one of the four best third-placed teams in the six groups. Four points would be enough.
