You could look at it that 4 pts from two games before a final match against the Czechs means England are almost guaranteed to advance but come on. Its freakin Scotland. they overrate their squad but they have more than enough to beat Scotland
I have no idea how the Brits think they are among the favorites for this. I'd be surprised if they make the 1/4s

If England plays a draw against the Czechs, and probably even if they lose, they will end up 2nd in the group and avoid France/Portugal/Germany in the next round. That's why they were satisfied with a draw tonight.

Trust me, England were not playing for a draw tonight. I've seen that performance dozens of times, they are one of the most boring and flat teams you will watch, going back to Eriksson, Capello and all the other shit in-between.
They might end up content with the draw because of other results, but this performance is common.
Anyway, I expect Croatia will go and beat Scotland. Now that would be a Scotland kind of result.

I could see Scotland beating Croatia. Not that I rate them but Croatia don't look convincing and it is a one off game at Hampden, which will be open as both teams need a win.
What would be Scottish would be winning the game and going out on goal difference. I think 4 pts would be enough to go through 3rd though.
True but Scotland always raise their game against England, ut makes it closer than it should be. It is similar to one sided rivalry matches like us vs Fiorentina.
Juve rarely raise their game but Fiorentina play like it is the game of their life.
When you factor in that England look out of form and complacent it isn't that surprising.
