Euros 2024 — Day 1

Germany 4 Scotland 1

This will make the RS fans furious. Just read Neil McCann on the BBC:

"I want to know what's going through Andy Robertson's mind. He's played in some massive games at club and international level so far but I think this is his pinnacle."

Gunn got a good hand on that… hmmmmm.

Wurtz going on in that Scottish defence?

They gave Havertz way too much space on the right to create that goal.

This Scottish side would be in bottom 3 trouble in the Premier League; a draw would be a fantastic result.

Well, that was pretty easy.

Are you sure the wee Scotties are gonna get 1, Paul?

Can I make my 4-1 6-0? Havertz again.

Scottish defence is feckless, hopeless, and clueless, but that was a class finish. Game over.

Problems for Scotland. Germany looking a bit too slick

Scotland doing what Scotland do best😄😄😄

Both German scorers are 21. They are playing some lovely stuff, moving the ball up, quick, slick passing as Duncan says. McGinn - or Scotland for that matter - have no grip at all here.

And a penalty. nailed on

How good is Musiala?

It's outside, isn't it - that will be the Jox one celebration of the night. Colin don't say that outside your house mate.

Not sure who I liked seeing sad when losing the most: fat skunks without shirts or Jocks with kilts on and orange wigs?

Neuer has not yet touched the ball. That high line was killing Scotland; good tactical change.

Great to see Andy Robertscagface enjoying the evening!

Red card surely.

It hasn't been quite the same with Germany being crap for several years. But is the evidence of a revival or just evidence that Scotland aren't very good?

Apologies to our North American brothers but do we really need that Yank explaining the bleeding obvious on ITV.

As if bloody McCoist wasn't bad enough.

Porteus should be fucking ashamed of himself. Jocks are getting humiliated here.

At the expense of the easy way out: both Kieran, and either one could be the biggest one.

Alan, I thought she was a German. Waste of time anyway.

Musiala:

Nicknamed "Bambi", for his incredible dribbling ability, he is considered to be one of the best players in the world.

Colin... in that case an additional apology to our chums across the sea.

Aren't deer gangly and shit at dribbling?

Paul Barry Venison certainly was.

Deer are well known for being shit-hot from set pieces, but I agree with Paul, they aren't known for their dribbling.

"Bloodhound" would've been a more apt nickname.

Like it Alan.

Can see that Duncan, deer are quite classy, do the neat stuff, leave grafting on the wing to gazelles or zebras if it's the skunks playing.

They say that Georgi Kinkladze was half squirell

That brings back some memories, Duncan. He was handy on the wing. Georgian?

How have Germany not scored again? The jocks are dead dire. Loving watching Musiala. He's Leverkusen right? Not for long.

Think you're right yeah. Remember when he stood on the ball and pretended to scan the horizon? A real entertainer.

I've switched off the game. Embarrassed for Scotland tbh

4-0 now DM, but the fourth was absolute class

It was, Paul.

Scotland being schooled.

They are Danny but that's not a 5th is it, offside?

Offside, Paul, but if I were Scotland I'd be coming home now to save myself from further embarrassment.

Interesting team Scotland. They cannot play the ball out from the back. And neither can they play hoofball. Takes a special skill set.

4-0 ain't going to help them with a best third-place finish, Rob.

200,000 jocks in Munich!? 20,000 at the next match. Loads of discarded orange beards and wigs all over Munich.

OG surely? Sad watching the Jocks going mad. I did predict 4-1

In fairness to Steve Clarke and their team, they really lack quality.

Back in the '80s with Hansen, Dalglish, Strachan etc the results were equally bad.

How to shut the sweaty socks up………….score a goal!! 5-1.

I backed Hungary to get out of the group. I will back them win or draw every game. Austria the same.

I love Scotland, really do. I would very much like them to score as it will give me free bets for the next few weeks. Doesn't look like it, though.

Really looking forward to the England thread. Who loves them north of, well... wherever? I did back in the day when Sir Alf, the greatest manager of all time, stood up to the press and ran the show.

The England team, with Alan Ball at his peak, in 1970 was the best ever. The team that were knocked out unluckily in 1974 by a superb Poland team were a truly top side.

Now, I really don't care for them.

A red shite ruins my prediction.

But this has been a stroll for Germany and it ought to be 8-1.

They scored for you, Andy, mate.

Any anti-Ingerlaund on here on Sunday will be from south not north of the border, mate.

Tournament football is finished, until the semis, same as the Champions League. Nobody, especially in England, is bothering with this tournament.

Remember about 15 years ago when people actually had England flags on their cars? Okay, they were free at Sainsbury's… but Sainsbury's aren't even bothering now.

I don't think Germany will have an easier game. They even scored a goal for Scotland!

I know a lot of betting people (I'm not) had England as favourites, but for me it's France. But don't rule out the Germans in their own back yard.

In Nagelsman, they have a very good young coach. Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munchen and now Deutschland. He barely played a professional match, but he is a very good coach.
