England and Scotland exchange whitewashes as skipper
Southgate
We didn't perform at the level we needed to win," he said. We have to live with it. We have to give points to Scotland as well. They defended and handled the ball well and deserved a point.
"The atmosphere of the game was very different, the turf was slippery, Pickford's remedy was crucial and he did it again for us, the two center backs faced a completely different challenge and they didn't concede. You were able to see Grealish's one-on-one ability.
"In tournaments, the key is if you can't win, then secure a point. I've seen games like this, where you concede a goal in the 85th minute and everyone leaves with a worse mood than we have now. It's a game we have to learn from, we have to improve our performance and we will do that."
"Starting with me, the whole team was able to reflect on the fact that we didn't get enough effort and shots on target. This team is young, some of the guys have never played such a serious and high-pressure game before, and this is a huge gain for them, and playing against any team with a great defense like Scotland's, it is necessary for us to make sure that we create more moments and get players in the right areas. It's a good challenge for all of us now and I'm sure the next few days will be tough."
On replacing Kane, "We need to run more and I think Rashford will bring energy. It's not about individual players, we need to look at the whole game."
Why only two changes, "We changed two attacking players, but still feel that we are a threat, you don't want to lose in the end, this is a tournament, not like a single game, you need to fight for success at all costs, leaving everything behind, that's what makes the tournament so enticing, you need to investigate both possibilities together, and this one point might get us out of the tournament. "
Expect criticism? "We need to perform better, I need to take it, understand it completely, I will make sure the players are absolutely fine, there are a lot of young players in the formation tonight, they will learn a lot, they have just got over the hump, but we got a point closer to the knockout stages, that's the first approach."
On the formation to play the Czech Republic, "I think the formation against Croatia should go in again, so we now need to look at it from the beginning and make the right decision. We will investigate the other groups and see how many more points are enough for us."
Kane
Said: "The result was fair, they defended well. Being substituted is part of the game and the manager thought it was the right resolution so you just have to live with it, that's the way it works. No competition is going to be easy, Scotland are fighting for their lives."

We deserved to win at home, Scotland ran and defended as hard as they could, and when Stones hit the post with his header, we felt that this was the night to do it, and if we kept playing, we might never score. If that goal had gone in, it might have been a different story. Scotland were on Kane and if we wanted to score, we needed to get the ball to him. But let's not get too upset. The media may overreact, but we need to stay positive, another clean sheet is positive, it's a tournament, you can't win every game, there will be hiccups along the way, other top teams have drawn."

We need to focus on the performance, not the result, we did not play the flow of the attack, not the best performance of the dynamic, but insisted on another shutout, we are difficult to be defeated," said. Sometimes things don't work out the way you plan, and sometimes it's hard to pinpoint why, but I think maybe it was the intensity of the game. We didn't pass the ball with the same intensity and speed, but that's not necessarily why we weren't at our best, I think it's a time to really enjoy and grow, and let me tell you, they're a good team. There's a lot of

We played very well," he said. We were unfairly criticized after Monday's game. I have a great group of players and they showed that tonight."
On Gilmour, "We've known for a while that he'd be able to play; now it's just a matter of the right opportunity presenting itself, and tonight was a big time for him, and he took advantage of it, and no one was surprised by his performance."

We didn't know the starting lineup until we got to the final meeting of the competition, only my mom and dad knew, and I texted them on the bus," he said. The fans were unbelievable, they sang from the first minute to the last minute and that gave us a huge boost. I'm very proud to play for my country and to play against England at Wembley. I was ready to train with the team and all my teammates helped me to get used to it very quickly."

Robertson (name)
We really deserved to win," he said. We controlled the ball very well, to their chagrin. But we got a point to keep us alive.
"Talking to Gilmour in the hotel today, I just looked at him and he showed no signs of it. I trust him to score as many times as he can for Scotland and he has a very big future ahead of him."
