Right at the start of this group in naples when england beat italy. Clearly there are a lot of players involved this evening who are part of that game and theyve spoken about carrying a certain amount of pain, regret. I dont think that will ever be fully resolved into england within the euros. Which is what this process is all about. That is pretty much where we hold the bar now in terms of Garris Southgate england team. Italy is almost a status game, gareth is almost a status game, gareth is okjudge is almost a status game, gareth is ok judge themselves by how they do against italy.

So england hopeful of qualification later not something scotland have to worry about, after their spot at euro 2024 was confirmed at the weekend. Steve clarkes side have won five out of six qualifiers so far and tonights match against france, whilejust a friendly, will be a chance for them to test themselves against whats to come next year. Chris mclauglin spoke to me from lille, where the match takes place tonight. Its been party time for the past couple days here. Of course that result against norway a couple days ago, scotland fans were already here, packed into bars trying to watch the game. Ever since that game there has been a party atmosphere. Clearly there are obviously Security Concerns around the city as well and this game, given what happened in brussels last night. The office of Interior Ministry saying they are doubling security ahead of this game. There are thousands of scotland fans here, they are not expecting a great result this evening but it is a family.

Im not expecting to say of full strength scotland, perhaps not at full strength france either given the exertions of the past couple of weeks, we know Andy Robertson is injured. I dont expect to see tommy this evening, of course the trouble with that of the potential problem with that of the potential problem with that of the potential problem with that is that could be three defeats in a row for scotland. The friendly defeat to england and then be qualified to feed to spain and perhaps a defeat to frances evening. I spoke to steve clark yesterday and said look, how do you balance set up . He says its all about performances. He learns every time he watches his players take to the field. Youre right, there is a good chance and steve clark said that a good chance to take on what he considers at the moment one of the very best sides in the world. Northern ireland are Playing For Pride Against Slovenia In Belfast tonight, knowing they have no chance of reaching the euro finals. They do go into this evenings game having beaten san marino last week, but itll be a tough match against the group h leaders, who won the reverse fixture 4 2 in september.

She was an up close with options and a good place now. Shes been out for nine months. She had herfirst minutes, which was very nice to see. She was happy, the crowd was very happy.

On social media earlier. Clemont had this to say about the events. Its terrible. All these things, now its brussels, tamara can be somewhere else for that a few years ago it was like this in europe. Those are things tomorrow it can be somewhere else. There are things that are much more important than football. Its a pity we live in a world like that.

You do get the sense that their coach has used that criticism as a motivating tool with his players. That said, his players know theyll need more than just a Siege Mentality on saturday. They certainly look pretty relaxed in training earlier on today at their new training based on the outskirts of paris. They had bit of fun, played a game of football. The good news for england is they say that all 33 of their players are fit and available for selection, which is probablyjust available for selection, which is probably just as well available for selection, which is probablyjust as well because they know in south africa they face a huge challenge.
