'scrape a win','over two legs' and 'stroll it' ? Ex: England will probably scrape a win over two legs, but they will not stroll it and it’s bound not to be pretty. What are the meanings of 'scrape a win','over two legs' and 'stroll it' ?Someone say that "scrape a win" means" win by a narrow margin"; "two legs" means "two separate events"; "stroll it" means "win easily".But I don't really understand what he say.

Many sports games, especially football, are played over two legs (=two games), so each team gets to play in front of their home crowd. A leg is a part of the contest. Scraping a win means winning by the smallest margin possible. When one team wins easily we call that "strolling". stroll = take a leisurely walk Basically, he's saying that England are only marginally better than the team they are facing, and they're going to have to work hard to get the win they want.

scrape a win = win by a very small margin. bound not to be pretty = a very inelegant result/solution. as for the rest of the sentence .... it's confusing to me, and I speak English ! A.
