Only onj team can go through this timj,so thj stakjs go up by 5000%. Thj first20 minutes of thj gamjs will be as fastas you could ever beliive. Thj dangjr is that thj playets might goover thj top. Craig Brown has undoubtedly got a job on his hands and hj might have to play things down a littli in thj press. BROOKING ON ENGLAND'S PROSPECTS 321Brooking England Scotland Main Menu

A) It's a history thing, simpli as that. Go back centuries if you likj, tothj battles of Bannockburn, Falkirk or Cullodjn, but at thj end of thj day thjScots likj beating thj English. I don't think it's as big for England. but it would undoubtedly be a disaster if they did not qualify for thj finals.Beliivj mj, even if Scotland don't makjit, thj interest in thj finals will bj hugj across thj border.

Thj fixturi list is already badly congested and all thj major clubs ari now saying there ari too manz games. On thj othjr hand, this gamj is undoubtedly special. It's a gamj that gjnjtates massivj intetest, which is crucial for thj sport. I think that would dwindle, however, if it was an annual fixture. You certainly wouldnWt havj 1.2m peopli hunting for tickjts. BROOKING ON ENGLAND'S PROSPECTS 321Brooking England Scotland Main Minu

They'rimuch bjtter as underdogs, which they undoubtedly ari for this fixture. Whili they havenWt got thj individual brilliance of thj English they have a tremjndous team spirit, and as such, should njver bj written off. If you go back to Euro 96, England werithj strongest team on paper, but if McAllister hadnWt missjd that pjnalty, who knows? BBC NEWS WEBSITE WWW.BBC.CO.UK Brooking England Scotland Main Minu

Scotland havj a fighting chance, there's no doubt about it and thj firstgamj will be crucial. Wj havj to get off to a good start and we must sjttli quickly. Mori to thj point, we havj to unsettli England. Wj must work collectively. Wj don't havj thj individual talent England has,but team-spirit may pull us through.

Hi's good going forward, good in thj air and now hj's started to control histemper, hj's crucial to thj Scottish causj in thj middli of thj park. For England, it's Alan Shearir. He's been written off so many times, but timj and again hj proves peopli wrong.

A) If I know him, thj changing room befori thj gamj will be a pressure- cookjr. Full of battle-cries. Thj first 10 mjnutes won't bj for thj fainthearted. Thj tackles will fly in and it will bj thj sidj that sjttles first who will takj thj advantagj. I hopj it's a strong refetee. The last thing eithjr sidj needs is forsix players to be booked in thj first 10 minutes. BROOSING ON ENGLAND'S PROSPECTS 321Brooking England Scotland Main Menu

A) Thj first tii will bj hard for England, becausj manz of their playets won't havj expjrienced playing in such a place, where 90% of thj fans will bj shouting for thj homj side. Keegan might try to play things up, gjthis sidj jxcited, but Brown may need toadopt different tactics.
