Reliving the Scotland match on the BBC website made me realise what a bad state England were in heading into that game - criticism off the pitch for a booze up in Asia prior to the tournament, criticism in it after a poor 1-1 draw in the opening match against Switzerland. We lacked balance, especially in terms of width, and Gascoigne's place in the team was widely questioned. If McAllister had converted that penalty it could have been a very different tournament.
