Well I am predicting a nil nil scoreline in tonight’s England v Czech Republic match and this will be very handy for Gareth Southgate and his team. Losing would still get the valued second place but that really would not be in the spirit of the game. What about going out planning not to win? How does that sit with the ethics of sport. Why would you try to win a game that would make it more difficult to actually win the competition.
Time to change the rules so that you don’t know which teams you will be up against until the first rounds have been completed.
