Germany - Scotland


Old Bing

Recommended Posts

I said ages ago that we would be the weakest team in the tournament and it looks like it's coming to pass. Our peak of achievement was to qualify. Well done for that but it's a step too far for a team of half  decent journeymen being asked to play to tactics that are totally wrong. Germany has turned up. We have not.  It's that simple.

Wow what an awful performance! Wasnt expecting much but that was bad, where do you start? Robertson not getting near the germany winger for the the first goal, Ralston getting absolutely roasted on that side, Clark not adjusting the team when he can see that we are getting battered, then Porteous selling the jerseys there with an outrageous tackle.

Not good.

Are Germany not notably shite in friendlies and even qualifying then step up to their true form in the finals?

The phrase, 'can't ever write off the Germans' that is so cliche stems from that.

Man for man, they've got a top, top side still and it's nowhere near the 'weak' Germany we've been led to believe.

When you look at the quality of player they have, underperforming was surely a far better description of the Germans up to this point

I've lost track of rule changes, but if we stay in the dressing room for the second half, do Germany get awarded a 3-0 win?

I like your thinking.  Rest everyone for the second half.

40 years since a team scored 3 goals in the first half of a Euros group match.

And there’s still folk saying that we shouldn’t have expected more

Aye, but injuries and stuff.

Dykes is world class, didn't you know?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse - Grant Hanley.

I actually thought the way we lived up Hanley would have been a better shout than either "Porto" or Hendry as both are prone to mistakes
