I don’t like Matterface but do people really need someone telling you what’s happening on the pitch with TV commentary? I mean, you can literally see it.
This is my big bear for commentators that are used to Radio and then going onto TV to do comms. You need the detail on Radio, but on tv they should be colouring around the edges for me.
Andrich should have also been off. Should have had 3 yellows that half but the ref was doing the usual first 10/15 minute no card amnesty which is always infuriating, as a neutral.
I remember when all of the contending teams in international tournaments used to be different stylistically, which was so much fun. Now they all want to be Man City.

Unusual hearing Pat Nevin sound so sad

Perhaps we are spoilt by @bluntphil who adds so much when he commentates.
I'm not sure a tactical change is getting them back in this one.
Germany are levels clear.
Scottish fella doing his best to pretend to be injured after utterly studding the German guy for an absolutely obvious pen.
Everybody and their fucking cat said Porteous would get a red tonight.
Scotland in danger of being de facto eliminated after one game.

I don’t generally like to revert to stereotypes, but Scotland getting Battered is apt.
Superb name. Should be in some kind of Shakesperian tragedy
Scotland have been poor, but the Germans have been very good and fully deserve their lead
The Scottish Play (shit football)

Scotland are Man City when we played them
They're conceding comedy goals now brilliant stuff.
Joking aside you have to say fair play for such a minnow to get to this stage.
Ah offside doh.
Especially having to play the Loch Ness Monster in the first game!
Not a single shot all game. Hope the xG was good.
There’s your comedy goal.
As someone pointed out on X - the ref is a dead ringer for Trossard
Well that was a nightmare. We'll never win this tournament, unlike England.....oh
I expect if there are national team forums, there is a thread on each called 'Let's All laugh At England' and 'Let's All Laugh At Scotland'.
To be fair, even in the top one he has not managed to get the whole army facing the right way.
Fine. Steiner will lead us to victory against the Swiss and we'll finish best in third place....
An entire football match with 50% of the players Scottish and not a single discussion of Tunnock’s. Sack them all.
England will be going home before Scotland. Mostly because we haven't turned up.
Croatia......are you Scotland in disguise?
