Showing a talent for soccer punditry Simms adds: 'Both England and Scotland have an opportunity to make their mark as this will be an unusually open contest - particularly with the emerging African nations posing a real threat to the established European and South American sides.' Simms is impressed with the new and upgraded stadia. 'New stadia that offer safety, comfort and a good view have to be a boon for football.'
