I remember Peru in 1978! :teasing:

In all honesty, I'm with Verno, kick 'em in the knackers and get three points. Great turnout by the Scottish faithful as well. :cheers: :fastheadbanging:

Yep. Been enjoying the (raft of) reporting from Munich, apart from annoying the hell out of anyone who doesn't like the sound of bagpipes and drunk people singing The Flower of Scotland over and over again.....the fans appear to be behaving themselves and making friends amongst the locals :chanting:

A shared indifference to our neighbours down south probably helps.... :cheers:

Always a tough ask to play the hosts in the opener. Especially the Germans. Who might just win the tourney

Deep down I knew we'd get beat. I just didn't think it would be that bad.

England will do alright here.

I'm going to lie down and listen to some Marvin Gaye and forget this happened.

It was much worse than that....... :standingonrake: :moping:

Was happy to have watched it in the local pub for the comedy own goal at least, it provided at least 5mins of gallows humour, the fact they proceeded to ship another goal soon afterwards was very Scotland though.... :spankingstick:

A terrible performance all round....I know why they did it, but the tactic of standing off them, and letting them have the ball in deeper areas, to avoid getting beaten one on one, really didn't work. The only way we'll ever have a chance against much better teams is by getting in their face and unsettling them.

In theory it made sense to play a more physical player like McTominay in central midfield (instead of our best passer of the ball Billy Gilmour), but as Lupo will know big Scott has never been a particularly defensively disciplined midfielder....

Can't see Clarke making the same mistake twice, thankfully.

As I said last night, "Hey, at least we didn't walk to Munich to watch that...." :ninja:

Germany were very good, I feel like they're being underestimated a bit.

Scotland's issue for me was that there didn't seem to be an out ball and so it kept coming back. They also gave the very talented German attacking midfielders too much space, for example on the 1st goal.
