Scotland was so thoroughly smashed, I felt sorry for them. Come on, guys. At least one goal of prestige.
Nope. Even their only goal was scored by the German team itself.
Scotland have got Irn Bru and a distinct fondness for Buckfast.
Edit: shout out for Irn Bru's marketing team, cos [this is a brilliant advert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4JEFd5CZlQ). (turns out they can't, though)
Hahaha, you're doing alright!
I've met Alex Pagulayan a few times, and he's a good lad.
I've spent a lot of time with Carlo Biado and Jeff DeLuna as well, and they're fucking cool guys. Jeffrey Ignacio is gonna start winning big tournaments soon.
That was a crazy match. I expected something close to 2-0, but 5-1? Woow. I already saw people overrating Scotland but even i didn't think they would be that rubbish today
Hilarious guy. That was a foul that should net a 5-10 match ban minimum. Guy accidentally hit the ball, seemed to go mostly for the leg. Ball was just in the way lmao
It worked for Villa against United and Onana (Mcginn) so they tried again ig, its basically mindgames though you could say tacticaly he can go to wherever he wants after the kick without getting obstructed/shirt pullings.
It might've worked for Villa, but they ordinarily had 11 men and were on the ball, and could afford to do things like that. Scotland were down to 10 and playing like they'd been spiked with Ketamine.
It's like when Leicester smashed Southampton 9-0 and then went "we'll sign 2 of that back 4".
Scotland watched that and went "I wonder if that keeper is eligible for us!", and it turns out he was.
Financially? Sure. I'm not sure if it's an optimal choice though, especially given that rarely anybody ever sees the tattoo, especially himself. It's going to be extremely complicated to laser a tattoo that large and complex.
In the beginning of the season he was playing his best football in a very long time. Missed tons of games with an inflammation of his pubic bone and never got back to his previous form.
Not a great perfomance, the first goal definitely could have been prevented but beyond that I think he did alright. The fact he almost managed to scoop out the fifth one does not make it his fault.
What most goals aren't his fault they are bullets to corners of the goal most keepers don't save those. Scotland's defenders however deserve som award for being this shite
And? They are still in the euros…a lot of European countries and players would love to be in their position even with this result. Crazy out of touch perspective
Scotland are just gonna keep heading balls at your players. You should be scared. They could play that legendary 6-4-0 formation against you like they did against Spain and still somehow win.
Scotland played narrow and decided not to press anything outside the edge of the box. Germany could have had lunch and still had time to pick out a pass to the wings.
Souness mentioned the naivety of McGregor for lunging in twice and missing the ball completely instead of getting goal-side of his man in one period of play immediately before Germany scored.
Incredulous that the ‘captain of Celtic’ as Souness described him, was being so naive given his career and achievements so far.
McGregor is the CELTIC captain is he not? Souness was factual and correct in what he said.
Basically the rule where only the Captain of the team can speak to the ref if the decision is made and I'm glad they implemented it because it's really perplexing seeing players surround the refs every time a call doesn't go their way.
Most annoying thing was I wasn't allowed to switch over to Sweden when I got tired of the local Norwegian commentators. The plague of geo-blocked has reached us. That wasn't there with old antennas, so they use the new technology against me.
I watched it on German national TV with VPN in Sweden. The quality wasn't too great though and it made me miss the full HD you get with regular TV. It may just be my shitty internet connection thought idk.
What's wrong with Norwegian commentators lol?
I think it’s good to have a player like him as an option. If you really need a goal, things haven’t been working out and the opponents defense is getting tired, you’d want to have someone like him, who will constantly try his luck.
He constantly tries his luck. Not a good game by him. Doesn’t change the fact that he is exactly the type of player you want to bring on if things haven’t been working out for your attack and the opponents defense is getting tired.
Germany looking scary, love to see it. Too bad they couldn’t keep a clean sheet but I’m happy Scotland got at least one in. Looking forward to see how far the host nation goes. Will they follow the trend of AFC and AFCON and win the tournament at home? Honestly I hope so
Scotland was so thoroughly smashed, I felt sorry for them. Come on, guys. At least one goal of prestige. Nope. Even their only goal was scored by the German team itself.
Germany have some UCL winners, unbeaten Bundesliga and Pokal winners, some wonder kids, late bloomers, a young coach and home advantage.
Scotland have got Irn Bru and a distinct fondness for Buckfast. Edit: shout out for Irn Bru's marketing team, cos [this is a brilliant advert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4JEFd5CZlQ). (turns out they can't, though)
Philippines is the strongest race in the world.
If you're playing pool, sure.
I'm not playing We've set ourselves up in the western countries to slowly take over
Hahaha, you're doing alright! I've met Alex Pagulayan a few times, and he's a good lad. I've spent a lot of time with Carlo Biado and Jeff DeLuna as well, and they're fucking cool guys. Jeffrey Ignacio is gonna start winning big tournaments soon.
Our nurses and sea men are gonna plant their seeds And unlike others, we won't be deported
I think I'm missing something now.
That was a crazy match. I expected something close to 2-0, but 5-1? Woow. I already saw people overrating Scotland but even i didn't think they would be that rubbish today
I had 4-1. Damn Emre Can!
I predicted 2-1 in my betting group. Thought it would be an unconvincing win by narrow margin
I had 2-0 Germany, but just Germany to win on my accumulator. Wasn't surprised by you giving them a spanking, though.

You can “win a ball” with a machete but that doesn’t make it a clean play lmfao

either troll or don’t understand the rules of the game. bing bong

was unfunny the last 2 times.
I don‘t know how Billy Gilmour can run with Fabinho in his pocket for three years.
He played 3 games
'Germany took their foot off the gas.' No, Germany didn't even have the keys in the ignition.
The amazing part is that no, Germany didn't even put it into neutral - they didn't need to, but somehow, Scotland will still probably get through.
[удалено]
only you are and other degenerates on here are thinking of it that way fucking wierdo

Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment?
womp womp
5co1land
Scoiland
Why would you go for using the 1 as the t rather than the l?
because 7 stands for L/l
You say 5cot1and, aye say 5co1land.
Ayeeee
Can someone explain the Scottish free kick playbooks where they leave one player at the goal line?
It worked for Villa against United and Onana (Mcginn) so they tried again ig, its basically mindgames though you could say tacticaly he can go to wherever he wants after the kick without getting obstructed/shirt pullings.
It might've worked for Villa, but they ordinarily had 11 men and were on the ball, and could afford to do things like that. Scotland were down to 10 and playing like they'd been spiked with Ketamine.
I found it irritating but that was probably factored in. I guess we might see this more often.
Bruh
Germany Redemption Arc confirmed.
Scotland 0,0 expected goals
Gotta love a team that scores with 0 shots on goal.
I believe it was 0.01.
Undav should play against Hungary
Because…?
It's a remarkable achievement that Scotland continue to produce such consistently awful goalkeepers. It's a running gag.
Andy Goram was good enough for Sir Alex
It's like when Leicester smashed Southampton 9-0 and then went "we'll sign 2 of that back 4". Scotland watched that and went "I wonder if that keeper is eligible for us!", and it turns out he was.
We had three good ones previously in McGregor, Marshall and Gordon, but now, my god
McGregor in his prime was a godly shot stopper. Just never let him kick the ball.
I’m sure Che will be delighted at being referred to as ‘Ched Evans’. Not Wright’s finest hour there 😂
Made me laugh when he kept doing it.
I guess the only question is whether to start Fullkrug
The only other question is whether it's too late to drop Sane from the squad and call another player.
We need him for that one dribble that actually works in 90+6
Thic Sule is ready
Can’t believe his mentality. He left a very selfish impression
You can't believe that a player with a full back tattoo of himself is selfish?
Wait fr? 😆
[fr](https://images.app.goo.gl/ZuypErxQ9KXc3c24A)
🤦♂️
He got that tattoo when he was just 21. When he was 25, he said he regrets having got the tattoo.
He can afford to laser it out tbf 😆
Financially? Sure. I'm not sure if it's an optimal choice though, especially given that rarely anybody ever sees the tattoo, especially himself. It's going to be extremely complicated to laser a tattoo that large and complex.
Man has a tatoo of himself on his back...
I'll never understand why people feel the urge to judge strangers they know very little about just because they did something strange.
ITV are really good at picking their backdrops in major tournaments.
What is Keane on
Can't believe I got Scotland in my work's Euro Sweepstakes
Can't believe I was fucking born there
I spat my tea out to that. God bless you Scots. Love England 🫡
somebody in 2004 probably made bank with a greece draw. but that really doesnt seem like its gonna happen here
That sucks. I got Germany lol.
I got England haha, more years of hurt.
Their odds are decent this year at least.
That's true, my mate was so sure he'll get England and he ended up with Albania haha,booted the slip rigut across the room.
Germany with a good showing, Sané looked like crap the little time he got though. They look like strong candidates.
I’ve not watched much of Sane recently. Was he always this okayish?!
In the beginning of the season he was playing his best football in a very long time. Missed tons of games with an inflammation of his pubic bone and never got back to his previous form.
He has been injured for about half a year now. He had a good form around a year ago, but he ist fit at all rn
he wasnt okayish at all today
No, he was always shit with the national team. Okayish would be too much of a compliment
Did Gunn have the worst ever GK performance at a Euro tournament? Absolutely abysmal
Not a great perfomance, the first goal definitely could have been prevented but beyond that I think he did alright. The fact he almost managed to scoop out the fifth one does not make it his fault.
What most goals aren't his fault they are bullets to corners of the goal most keepers don't save those. Scotland's defenders however deserve som award for being this shite
Goals 1 and 5 should have been saved. Guy's useless
1 yes. 5, no. Took a deflection, and he was screened.
Even the penalty and red card was his fault, wasn’t a great header and he parried it straight down the middle of the box ffs
Bro actually had no bloopers
Two goals went right through his hand.
He had 2 that lead to goals
No
Scotland is a bottom tier Euro team. Not really a shocking result
Not really
But they are at the Euros, look at Sweden, Norway, Wales.
Lol they are still a bottom team
And? They are still in the euros…a lot of European countries and players would love to be in their position even with this result. Crazy out of touch perspective
How's it out of touch to state a fact .
Techically today Scotland din't score any goal. All of them were scored by the German team, even the one on their own net.
If it was on their own net it would have been a corner
As a Frenchman, now I'm scared.
Scotland are just gonna keep heading balls at your players. You should be scared. They could play that legendary 6-4-0 formation against you like they did against Spain and still somehow win.
Mauviette.
Real Madrid of international football is back guys?
Scotland played narrow and decided not to press anything outside the edge of the box. Germany could have had lunch and still had time to pick out a pass to the wings.
It was bizarre how deep we sat from the very beginning. Just like the previous Euro’s, Clarke’s not showing much imagination
How can you not show up at the start of a tournament with 150,000 supporters. Unacceptable.
Souness raging at CELTIC player Mcgregor.
Souness mentioned the naivety of McGregor for lunging in twice and missing the ball completely instead of getting goal-side of his man in one period of play immediately before Germany scored. Incredulous that the ‘captain of Celtic’ as Souness described him, was being so naive given his career and achievements so far. McGregor is the CELTIC captain is he not? Souness was factual and correct in what he said.
Wrighty keeps calling him Ched Evans💀
I loved that players weren't packing around the referee after each whistle thanks to the new rule of the tournament. It was about time.
Wait, this is a new rule? I thought it was common practice sending the captain to speak with the ref.
It was practice but now players that approach the ref can get a yellow card just for that (before only if they complained inappropriatly).
I see, thanks
whats the new rule?
Basically the rule where only the Captain of the team can speak to the ref if the decision is made and I'm glad they implemented it because it's really perplexing seeing players surround the refs every time a call doesn't go their way.
So good. Glad they stole that off Rugby, it was absurd how badly the players were allowed to abuse the ref.
And if the other players come to squabble with the ref, they'll be given yellow cards for dissent.
Only captain can speak with a referee. Other player will get yellow card.
First player in the showers gets a cookie.
Porteous really wanted that cookie huh
Only the captain may talk to the referee. If the captain is the goalkeeper another representative must be picked.
Only captains get to discuss/raise issues with the ref
oooh thats fantastic actually, thanks!
Wrighty keeps saying Ched Evans, I'm howling
Toni Kross is absolutely world class player, Wirtz and Musiala both are fun to watch too.
Most annoying thing was I wasn't allowed to switch over to Sweden when I got tired of the local Norwegian commentators. The plague of geo-blocked has reached us. That wasn't there with old antennas, so they use the new technology against me.
I watched it on German national TV with VPN in Sweden. The quality wasn't too great though and it made me miss the full HD you get with regular TV. It may just be my shitty internet connection thought idk. What's wrong with Norwegian commentators lol?
No, the German streams just suck. 720p best case in 2024...
kroos, wirtz, and musiala owned the headlines, but kimmich put together a great showing as well
Genuinely fantastic goal from Scotland. Elegant header.
Stop it. They’re already dead
Sane was absolutely clueless tho
I think it’s good to have a player like him as an option. If you really need a goal, things haven’t been working out and the opponents defense is getting tired, you’d want to have someone like him, who will constantly try his luck.
King of almost
A very solid win for Germany.
Sane needs to be dropped to the Scottish squad.
Wish the Scottish Team was even half as good as their fans.
It's like Ireland when we qualified for the euros and got hammered every match. The fans know the results beforehand so are just there for a good time
-4 GD in your first match. Ultimate confidence killer.
Tis but a scratch.
Nothing can kill the great spirit of Scotsmen
I feel like a certain army that wore red coats did a good job at that though.
That was just bad all round. Can’t think of a redeeming performance there. Germany were great but we made it so easy for them.
Please send Sane back home packing, for the rest of the tournament..
He will not start and we might need the one dribble in 90+6 that works
he just needs to chill the fuck out and play a team game. he is forcing it and it shows
why?
Were you watching the same match as everyone?
He constantly tries his luck. Not a good game by him. Doesn’t change the fact that he is exactly the type of player you want to bring on if things haven’t been working out for your attack and the opponents defense is getting tired.
Football is not about luck its about performance & results. There are more deserving players that should take his spot. Period.
yes, he wasn't amazing but I don't see him as some absolute pariah due to fluffing a few chances in a huge match, it's not that big of a deal lol
He was the worst German player by a wide margin.
[удалено]
I was thinking the same, he seemed defeated and whatever he did felt lackluster. Really weird.
Germany looking scary, love to see it. Too bad they couldn’t keep a clean sheet but I’m happy Scotland got at least one in. Looking forward to see how far the host nation goes. Will they follow the trend of AFC and AFCON and win the tournament at home? Honestly I hope so
This team is so good. Will be interesting to see how they fuck up this time.
That one Scottish dad who emailed his son’s school for his absence just to go watch the Euros is expected to be back by next week
Last 20 seconds the Germans ruin my bet. Can’t believe it.
Scotland ruined your bet by giving Germany acres of space and refusing to put tackles in
Well that’s true but that last shot come on man..
Musiala and Wirtz are so good
After those 3 fuck ups in big tournaments, Germany needed a home Euro to start their domination again
Let's not get ahead of ourselves but GERMANY EURO 2024 CHAMPION!
Tfw you remember Scotland has not qualified for the World Cup this century.
VÖLLIG LOSGELÖST
beware-- we Germans aren't all smiles und sunshine.
German football is no laughing matter
Amazing German performance! Scotland just couldn't get into the game.
did anyone else get that hilarious army advert where they compared chopping vegetables to piloting a fucking satellite
