[m_fenton]

Simultaneously too deep and getting done by balls over the top.

Too technical, not passionate enough.

Yep.

I think Scotland needs to change tactics. Their defensive line is so low, they cannot get out. Get someone upfront with Che Adams.

Don't really understand the game plan defending so low, Germany making this look easy.

Just now, Lucas said:

Good practice for Germany this, they are looking good. Hope Scotland can keep it from getting worse. 

We won't unless we try to get a bit further up the pitch. Defending 20 yards out all game is a recipe for disaster

[cafcrocky]

How’s that not a booking for McGregor?!

[Darius1998]

Doesn't help if you get done by through balls so often despite staying deep. Scotland's midfield is barely in the game.

[GunmaN1905]

What's the record EURO win?

[Redshift]

OMG

[TheWednesday]

Pen!

[av3ry]

Penalty. This is hilarious 😂 

[cafcrocky]

Jeeeeeez. This could get really, really ugly!!

[Mr Adam]

This is abysmal from Scotland. It’s an oft overused word. But this is abysmal 

[CFuller]

Goodness me.

"Don't come home too soon" indeed.

[Orzelek]

THe rule about only the captain speeking to the ref is actually respected   

[Smallen]

there is a huuuuuuge space between Scotland’s CBs and their midfield and it’s so easy to play through and into . I can’t imagine this was the plan but it’s so, so bad.

[Darren Moores Mum]

[Lucas]

Gets from bad to worse  

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

that penalty isn't going to stand

[The Golden boy]

Ryan Christie like a bull in a china shop.

[Astafjevs]

Yeh also surprised that nobody else ran to the ref. Have they been told it's an instant card or something 

[metal_guitarist]

Very clumsy, looked like the first contact was outside and then second contact inside 

[Haguey]

Good grief, they've absolutely shat the bed here haven't they, rabbit in headlights stuff. Where is the Scotland from qualifying?

[Orzelek]

Netherlands-Yugoslavia 6-1 at EURO 2000?

6-1 in the Netherlands-Yugoslavia QF in Euro 2000. A few 5-0s beyond that.

[Darius1998]

Looked outside the box, which might be the only reprieve here.

[Mr Adam]

Haha Sam Matterface cutting off the rules analyst  

very partridge 

[Gizmo7]

Freekick

[sc91]

Got to thank UEFA things have gone so far that charity teams like Scotland get their day out at a tournament.

[Harryseaess]

Is the ref expert on ITV an American?

[cafcrocky]

Watch the free kick sail in

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Thought that was a penalty tbh  

[DJ]

The players kept well to the 'no protesting' rule  Let's keep it up.

[Haguey]

No pen, close one, fair enough

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Yeah, there were only 4 teams up until 1980, so no old school batterings.

[Robson 07]

As a Utd fan, I know what a bad setup looks like, and Steve Clarke has delivered here.  Needs to reassemble this pronto. 

[phnompenhandy]

It's nobody's fault. Three-quarters of our defence is not of the required standard.

When did Gunn move to Scotland, used to be England U21 GK iirc

When we realised he wasn't good (his Dad was a Scotland international goalkeeper tbf)

Wusiala living up to the hype

Don't call him Wusiala, you'll only make him stronger...

[cafcrocky]

Musiala has this Scotland team on toast 

[Orzelek]

Kroos falls and still makes a perfect pass

What's three-quarters of five?

Put McT up front, no need to defend then...

[Haguey]

It's all a bit 1st round FA Cup isn't it, lots of hard work and endeavour from the non league side but no ability on or off the ball and the quality of the league side is shining through.

[Dave Vessey]

What’s with Clarke’s attempt at zen-like phlegmatic self-control on the touchline? Just makes him look gormless.

Scotland to go out with zero goals or points in this group.

[Gizmo7]

This is so, so comfortable for Germany. I thought that they were supposed to be “there for the taking”?

[Smallen]

they are going on about Musiala having a good game but honestly any decent pro playing in that position against this setup should be controlling things . All the space you could possibly want in there.

[Redshift]

OK that was dumb.

[Orzelek]

Such a stupid challenge by Andrich

 

Really no need for such a tackle in that situation

[RTHerringbone]

Andrich looks like the missing link.
