Some lovely touches by Dembele: one memorable moment when he brought down a long ball with the deftest of touches and immediately flicked it on to a team mate demonstrated a level of skill rarely seen from a Scottish player at this, or indeed any, age group. He has the ability to ghost past players as if they're not there. I'd say there were a few other players in the team who caught the eye just as much. The right back, Kane Patterson of Spurs, was excellent, another who was technically very good and comfortable on the ball. And, it's not often you say this, but another player who really stood out for Scotland was Forrest of Celtic - Dylan Forrest. Tenacious midfield player, similar in style to Scott Brown, but a very decent footballer too. Promising signs thoughout the team.

I can't wait for these laddies to all be told they are way too wee and inexperienced for first team fitba' until they are about 28. :rolleyes:

You been reading Levein's autobiography?

Just watched some of this and maybe going against grain here, but have no idea how England didnt thrash us. Stronger, technically far better, more composed and tactically much more advanced. Could see most of those England players going on to play at a decent level while maybe a couple of Scotland players could.

Really great to see us get results but wouldn't say technical ability was anything to write home about.

Have to disagree. Didn't see England game but watched game against Uruguay and was very impressed with ability on ball from most of the players especially the defenders.
