I can't really believe I'm saying this but I agree with you. Not that I often disagree with you, but I can't believe that I'm rating a 'friendly' against Scotland higher than a qualifying game - but I am and for the reasons you state.
I'm not in favour of bringing back the Home Internationals (or even an annual friendly against Scotland) as I don't think that wasting friendly slots playing regular thud and blunder matches is any preparation for 'real' international football, but a one-off game every once in a while - fine. Also given our group it will actually be a more competitive match (in terms of the contest) than nearly all our group games, so it will be a good test for the younger lads.

It's Slovenia, but more relevant is the fact that Ireland is a much bigger game for Scotland. This will be the most low-key build-up to a Scotland v England game in history. Basically it will get about two days' worth after Scotland digest the implications of the Ireland result.
Much as they like beating England, they want to qualify for a major finals again much more.

Slovenia for me. I don't take anything for granted with England.
As for Scotland, it's incredible to think that they last played at the finals stages of a major tournament in 1998. Any England player under the age of 24 will only have known Scotland as a rubbish, non-qualifying football "has-been" nation. I fancy the Scottish independence vote and the fact they've got the Ireland match beforehand will add a bit of spice to the occasion for the supporters, but I'm not expecting the England team to be that fired up for it.
Hopefully Hodgson will remind them of what this fixture means in historical terms, although whether Sterling and Henderson will ever take their iPod earphones out to listen is another matter.

This. Slovenia matters. Scotland doesn't.

I'm going to both games and expecting nothing more than a dull, routine 2-0 home win today in front of a crowd of day-trippers in a stadium lacking in any real atmosphere. Tuesday night will be like going back in time to when people gave a sh1t about international/home nations football. Dropping points to Slovenia will make negligible difference to our qualification chances, losing to Scotland will be very hard to take.
The lack of interest amongst my fellow England members is largely down to the hopeless way in which the FA run the newly launched club. I won't go into detail, but an example of this is that they are making each and every one of the 5,000 England fans with a ticket for Scotland collect it on the day in Glasgow - it will be carnage; I saw that there were thousands still outside Celtic Park 15 mins after kick off last night, so imagine what it will be like when several thousand 'lubricated' England fans turn up at the stadium to collect their tickets half an hour before kick off. Yet 25,000 Scotland fans were allowed to come to Wembley with little or no restrictions last August....

I don't think devolution is a dead duck at all! I suspect there won't be a referendum for quite a few years but that does not mean it's over for good. I also think Man United will win a Euro Championship in the next 20 years but that does not mean I support them btw.

I had no idea we were playing Scotland, in fact I've just had to check they aren't in our group such is my apathy towards England at present.
But: Slovenia.
