England 0-0 Scotland - how the internet reacted to their Wembley stalemate
- Published
The atmosphere at Wembley for England v Scotland did not disappoint.
It was an historic occasion: England playing Scotland at an international tournament for the first time since Euro 1996. The venue: Wembley.
The match ended honours even and Scotland might have been happier with the performance on the night, while England are still in a strong position in the group. Either way, the fans of both home nations certainly added to the occasion.
