Whereas with no crowd there, you're just having a level playing field.
You haven't got that element of the game.
So it will be interesting to see how players do adapt and find how they can get used to that surrounding so quickly.
Because some players, they love the thrill and they love the excitement of a crowd there and get turned on by the crowd.
So it will be really hard for some players to get used to.
The referee had just blew the final whistle two minutes before Harry Kane was able to score.
I think Graham and Jamie might remember it better than me.
England had a free kick just before that and Scotland had great possession of the ball and tried to break away and one of the England players nicked it off before the cross came out of the box so it could quite easily have been 3-1 but you know it wasn't to be and listen it was another campaign for Scotland that's
The hard luck story.
Obviously, after that, I think Slovakia and Slovenia went to Slovenia.
Robert Snodgrass scored a last-minute equaliser over there, but it wasn't enough and finished third in the group in goal difference.

Yes, we're in the National League final now with an opportunity to get to Euro 2020, or 2021 now as it's going to be.
But I think that you can always tell, and I think the lads will...
join me in saying that when you go to the international set-up, it can be a long period of time when you're away and you've got to enjoy the training, you've got to enjoy the camp and that's one thing that Gordon had built, the camaraderie around the group and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it.
Chris, what's your take on it?
