Soccer-Hoddle expects open and feisty clash between England and Scotland

LONDON: Whenever England and Scotland lock horns on a football pitch the cagey approach associated with international football often goes out of the window and Friday's Euro 2020 clash at Wembley will be no different, according to former England boss Glenn Hoddle.

"I think that changes the dynamic of this England game," Hoddle said in an interview with Betfair."If they'd have won I'd have fancied Scotland to draw, but now they'll have to take risks and I think England will win. England were calm and composed as they avenged their 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat by Croatia in their opening match as Raheem Sterling scored the only goal.That match hardly got the pulse racing, even if England impressed, but Hoddle says Scotland provide a different dynamic.

"Gareth and his team will be wary, just as they were of Croatia," he told Betfair."England have got that superiority complex in basically everything. I don't know if it adds an extra stride to the players. It will make for a good game.""England did what they had to do against an aging Croatia side," he said."I didn't want us to win 4-0. Getting the points was the main thing.
