BREAK
In November 1872 the first national team match in football history was played: an England-Scotland match. Exactly 54,256 days ago, or, what is the same, 148 years, six months and 17 days. That match ended 0-0 and had toughness as the protagonist. Today's, too. Same result, same tools.
Stones, with a header, he had the clearest for the English, but after rising a little more than half a meter and brushing the Wembley sky, he crashed the ball into the post. For Scotland he took center stage O'Donnell, who hooked a very hard volley to force Pickford to fly. Stop
England has ended up moving the ball from side to side, lacking in ideas, lost, without finding holes in Steve Clarke's 3-5-2, which is an impenetrable wall. Everything open for the second part. Sparks fly and friction abounds – despite Mateu Lahoz trying to ask for peace – under the Wembley deluge.
In 1872 it was signed that an England-Scotland would never be a quiet match. And indeed, it is not.
