Shame all Scotland had to show for the game was a passionate anthem and an own goal

I thought that Germany would never win a major tournament anymore, after they lost their "never say die" attitude when they replaced the Aryans with a bunch of blacks and kebabs.
But now they have a guy named Maximilian Mittelstädt.
Mittelstadt's rise is quite remarkable, arguably one of the best full backs in the Bundesliga last season

How was Kroos today?
Wish we had signed him in his prime.
Solid. One really poor pass but as always makes things tick and look really simple. Dictated the game from very deep and still can't get my head around why they didn't put an attacker to take him out. First half was all about; Havertz makes a run to open space, Musiala, Wirtz and Gundugan overload the space and then Kroos finding a pass that slices 'em up and the overloading Germans to do their thing. It took my way too long to appreciate Kroos because the rest of RM was so bloody good. The brilliance is his passing and vision, it looks so simple and yet so few can do it.

Wonder how much he might cost if we try to get him?
well he is 27 years old now and had a wonder season at Stuttgart, probably not as much as you think.

They are simply lower class, no wonder.

but their fans are happy
tbh I've never had an issue with Scottish fans (except celtic) I do admire their passion when it comes to their national teams in football and rugby though

Scotland's performance was so poor. This was even before they were reduced to 10 men.

The only mistake from Germany in the first half was by Robert Andrich, who has the look and sometimes the playstyle of an underground club bouncer. Being booked while leading 2-0 especially in a game where you have complete control is so unnecessary.

I thought Sane looked really poor when he came on.

Masterclass from Kroos (101/102 passes) but Scotland let him operate on his own island. They didn't even try to disrupt/press him.

Shit. I have a feeling Germany will win this time.
They sure look strong and seem to have found the right formula for their game to click, although to be fair Scotland did not even show up at all… no doubt Germany are one of the favorites to win the tournament but it will be very interesting to see how they fare defensively when the opposition also has quality upfront and can actually counter them.

@Mark , you think maybe we need a Poll in this thread on who will win the Euro’s? :)

No need, we know who it will be.

Germany will be our Saudi Arabia, we'll bounce back and take the crown
