So Poland need to beat Spain otherwise they are in deep, deep trouble.

Duque de Bragança

Not in danger but for a couple of chances, but not in control, so not really dominant, in the first half.
Woke up for the last 20 minutes, unlike Slovaks.

Poland beating Spain would be quite the upset.

Tamas

I am unsure of my pick of Czech victory, but going to stick with it.

Paulo Sousa agrees.

Why the hell did they have to replace the previous Poland coach anyhow?

According to Wiki:

QuoteAs coach of Poland, the team didn't have an impressive performance in 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A, with the team got relegated with two losses and two draws. Poland's UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying has been quite more impressive, with the team managed to win four opening matches without conceding a goal. However, with the team later got a humiliating defeat to Slovenia and a home draw to Austria, he faced heavy pressure on demanding him to quit. Despite this, he managed Poland to be back on track with two final wins over Latvia and North Macedonia, eventually qualified for the UEFA Euro 2020.[4] Brzęczek was sacked on January 18, 2021.[5]

A bit harsh maybe, it's not like Lewandowski can do everything.

Did you see Schick's bloody nose?

Sure - but what was the defender supposed to do? They both go up using their arms as leverage and there's a clash. I don't see how that's really a foul.

Getting better now, thanks to a terrific goal.

Really disappointed by Croatia who seemed happy with a draw there :hmm:

You really see the impact of the loss of Mandzukic and Rakitic. I also think that might be slightly arrogant and they're perhaps underestimating Scotland who I think played better than Czechia....

Scotland played with heart but no luck, but Czechia was better.

The rain feel pretty apropriate for the England - Scotland game.

And this match makes it even more jarring that England gets to use "God save the Queen" as anthem.
