Scandinavian Defense: Reverse Englund Gambit and Sidelines

I know this opening isn't solid by computers, yet it is fun to play and it seems to work still catching scandi players off gaurd who aren't familiar with Englund Ideas. The computer suggest you go into Reverse Soller Gambit but to me this is the mainline. If you play this way atleast 9/10 at my level you will get to enter the Englund Gambit as the white pieces. It can also happen in one of two order. This is the most common one. I will post sidelines in comments.

Now the computer recommends if you go into Reverse Englund to go with Reverse Soller Gambit which can be reached in this order.

It makes me sad how people are wasting their first move advantage to enter something as trash as the Englund Gambit
