England and Scotland not finding a way for the visiting side to avoid a shorts clash in a traditional manner was the biggest disappointment. Why couldn’t the Czechs have worn alternative shorts at Wembley? What we’ve learnt is that wearing traditional colours really isn’t a thing that’s given much importance, so maybe it’s a case of disliking but living with it.
