Scotland were embarrassing, shows the levels at international football even in tournaments like this.
Germany looked very good but as others have pointed out, it’s difficult to judge how strong they are when they played a minnow, no disrespect intended but they made them look non league at times.
Wish Musiala decided to play for England instead as he was outstanding. Lots of talk pre tournament about Wirtz but Musiala is a special player. Could you imagine a midfield of him, Bellingham, Saka, Foden and Rice? Shame.
So glad the tournament has started though, can’t wait for England on Sunday night now.
How did Scotland qualify?! Shocking and embarrassing performance. The tactics were farcical. Banks of players, standing in a line, none of which can put a tackle in or press and with one half decent forward pass are easily taken out of the game. Think Germany will be disappointed they couldn't keep a clean sheet or make it double figures against that shower.
Honestly the first half was embarrassing, we couldn't lay a glove on them, defensively we weren't just stood around while they passed around us. Lucky it wasn't 5-0 at HT. Second half Germany took their foot off the gas but if they hadn't it would have been a cricket score.
Worry about the next two games, Switzerland and Hungary aren't Germany, but they are no mugs.
As usual I’m really looking forward to this international tournament and as usual no-one I’ve spoken to here (in France), other than a football coach I know, and kids my son is friends with, are even aware that it starts today. They really are the most undeserving nation footballwise on the planet - it does my head in.
I have to agree…I’ve been in the south of France for the last two weeks and I’ve not seen anything about the euros.
You won’t even see much if they win it. I landed back in France the day after they won the World Cup and no-one mentionned it and there wasn’t a single sign of any party at all. It may be different in the three big cities but elsewhere you just get kids out in cars tooting their horns for a few hours.
