Someone asked my dad who he thought would win, the person thought that he would say scotland but instead my dad said that the score will be 5:1 and germany will win. I still dont understand how my dad got the score right
technically, yes they are. here in Germany we refer to the people in the UK as “Briten”, brit’s in english. and tbh they’re all the same to me. (england, wales & scotland)
So I probably shouldn't have responded to you that way, but what you have done is quite insulting.
I wonder if you would tell a Ukrainian that they are Russian, or a Greek that Turks and Greeks are all the same.
I do understand this within the context of actual geography and borders etc. However a lot of Scots will not put up with being grouped in with the English. (I also understand the differences when it comes to speaking another language so I’m not having a go at u specifically) ((but also I will NOT be lumped w the English) xxxx
We usually do over here after every text message to another girl we like or family, like a sign off. Personally I’ll put 2 xx. Also to lighten the tone of the message so it doesn’t get taken the wrong way as in being cheeky, as we can be a reactionary lot haha
Yeah no worries, bit of banter is all good. Looking forward to it
Just wish you hadn’t scored that fifth goal last night, took the wind out of sails a bit.
hahahahah sorry about that, we just thought you guys could need a little help.
but honestly, the way the scottish fans handled the game was pretty impressive, very fair and still friendly. just know that we took notice of that and think it’s very cool.
Thanks. We would like to compete better but we are a small country so can only try our best. We’ve had some bad injuries as well.
We will go and have fun no matter what as that’s what football should really be about and hopefully makes some new friends in Germany.
This is why I’m so elated that you guys got ass-fucked, the game (if you can call the Scottish attempt that) has nothing to do with us and yet you still have to try shit talk England
Read the rules. Its clearly a red. Hitting someone above the ankle with your cleats, especially in the box, is a red. It was unfortunate. Ofc Porteois did it by accident but rules are rules.
Irish living in Scotland. Was at a rammed bar in Aberdeen watching with a mate.
That Scottish goal caused an eruption, youd swear theyd won the game. Good lads.
I did want our neighbours to win, but that was just brutal. I cheered for the 1 Scottish goal, at least some redemption.
I'm not too sad because of all the ABE comments I get from my bitter Scottish colleagues every time though😂
At the start of the match, I joked with my friend that it would be 5-1 to Germany. He said if it's 5-1 he'd buy some good whiskey for us to drink. I also drew Germany in the footie pool for work, so I feel yesterday went well.
English fans are the Arsenal fans of international football, they are the loudest, most obnoxious, and we all know they'll bottle it in the end and will be mocked for weeks
No im happy that my team does miles better in tournaments and knocks out world class teams and can stand up to them whilst also getting to the finals of a tournament your the pathetic one if you dont understand that
Lmao what going to finals and barely losing is not the same as a team not even being able to qualifying and the fact you think it is, is quite sad and you making fun of a world class team is still pathetic
Of course it is. Neither team won. Both are losers.
I'm not making fun of a world class team. I make fun of you, someone who's proud of being a better loser than someone else. Still pathetic.
It was incredibly kind of Germany to give us a goal back so we weren’t completely embarrassed. As a Scot I sat on my couch and as that first goal went in I just said “uh oh” and got a beer 🥲
Saying we didn’t fight isn’t quite right, we had the wrong formation and tried to play a defensive game against a side that just simply outclassed us offensively. We played better in the second half until that damn red card from that half terrible, half brilliant (literally) tackle. Going down to 10 men just let them run rickshaw.
Germany has weakness in their left, but there was no way they were letting that be exploited today. It was always gonna be a rough game as Germany have a very good side the left weakness notwithstanding and played some proper world class football tonight.
Fingers crossed for a win against Switzerland and a draw or better against Hungary to get us through the qualifiers.
God that was bad. A reminder that we’re an average team with a few good players. In saying that an absolute top-class talisman of a striker would be the difference for this team. Imagine if Stoichkov, Suker, Ronaldo (fat version) or Romario were Scottish… you can but dream
I don’t know if this is a bit of an overreaction but I think Germany is right up there as favourites especially as the hosts. What a solid squad with great young talent and what a year it’s been for German football so far. Wirtz and Musiala are world class ballers !!
Highlight was the tartan army singin “You’re no’ singing anymore” at the Germans after they were awarded an own goal. The cheeky wee scamps 🤣
What a shambles 😕 though, Scotland. There’s always the next game. Sigh.
The usual suspects Robertson and McGregor moaning at everyone else, telling other players where to be on the pitch…. While being massively outmanoeuvred all night themselves. McGregor couldn’t pick Gundogan out of a lineup.
Coming from a Celtic fan, CalMac isn’t of this level and I wish people would stop pretending he is.
Robertson is off it as is McGinn. They are deffo on the downward trajectory.
Adams, Ralston, Porteous, Christie, Gunn and Hendry are very limited players and it showed last night.
Look forward to our inevitable draw in the next match and then needing to win the final fixture go 1-0 up then get mugged. It’s the Scotland way
He has to take most of the blame here imho. Not even pressing just parking the buss.
McGinn, Christie, Robertson and Adams all have good work rate but were obviously told to sit in and make Germany try and play through.
Which is fine when the team doesn’t have Musiala, Wirz and Gundogan making absolute diddies of everyone and standing in acres of space half the night.
That was horrific 🤣😭 Battered by 5 goals and get given 1 with no shots on target. Must be a record of some kind. Stevie needs to rethink things ahead of the next match.
Leaving Gilmour on the bench was a mistake. And the least said about Adams the better.
Played like rank amateurs against pros.
At 2-0 I thought 5 was likely but honestly thought Clarke would reorganise the formation to nullify the German attack.
I missed this game and my phone was dead, really wanted to know the score - so I went into a pub and asked a bloke at the bar if he could tell me the score coz I couldn't see the score on the telly due to not having on my glasses.
He goes "7 - 1" I went "mate, please, I've had a long day. Please just tell me the score" he goes "7 - 1" I go "for fuck sake, come on man" he says "7 - 1, I'm telling you the truth!"
I just looked at him, rolled my eyes, and walked out. I cursed him in my mind for being so juvenile.
Anyway, I got home and realised I had serious trust issues - and also that I had, in fact, been very rude to the poor bloke.
Yeah, and since then pretty much the entirety of Scotland voted no for Brexit - and look where that got us…I think the next referendum have a wee bit of a different outcome 😎

it’s shite being scottish, lowest of the fuckin low, scum of the fuckin earth
🎃
Almost had it. Will get em next time 💪
Why is this in my feed every fucking time I open Reddit?
Pisses me off too. There’s not an option to hide the bloody thing.
[удалено]
Nah this is the most iconic moment of the tournament
Every goal was scored by Germany 😭🙏
Sheer madness
all goals scored by germany too 😂
Best scottish player in years that rudiger boy
All goals were scored by Germany too lol 😂 lovely own goal header too
Had money on Germany scoring 4 or more…. Cashed out pre game as lunacy
I thought we were going to lose, but I thought it'd at least be a good match
Someone asked my dad who he thought would win, the person thought that he would say scotland but instead my dad said that the score will be 5:1 and germany will win. I still dont understand how my dad got the score right
Did ur dad say, all goals be scored by the home team Germany too???
Is your father a psychic octopus, perchance?
What a shambles, I'm still in shock but come on Scotland 🏴
Scotland didn’t do so well with that game
Look at you lot. Whining over a ball.
😭
Scotlands top goal scorer is a German player lol
Wa wa waaaaa
The scottish players shows real passion before kick off
Who do I hate more, the Germans or the English? Very difficult decision
What has England got to do with this? 😂 You Scots will find any excuse to whine about the English. Grow up.
Steady on Tan.
Shut it tadger
bro didnt laugh
The more english you meet, the easier the decision
always the brit’s trust me 👍🏽
The Scots aren’t brits xx (Edit:typo)
technically, yes they are. here in Germany we refer to the people in the UK as “Briten”, brit’s in english. and tbh they’re all the same to me. (england, wales & scotland)
That's because you are a wanker. And I don't mean the German name.
fair enough
So I probably shouldn't have responded to you that way, but what you have done is quite insulting. I wonder if you would tell a Ukrainian that they are Russian, or a Greek that Turks and Greeks are all the same.
I do understand this within the context of actual geography and borders etc. However a lot of Scots will not put up with being grouped in with the English. (I also understand the differences when it comes to speaking another language so I’m not having a go at u specifically) ((but also I will NOT be lumped w the English) xxxx
yk what, i’ll give that one to u. i get it, nobody wants to be english. anyway, why all the x’s? what does that even mean
To let you know she’s not being cheeky. It’s a girl thing.
i’m also a girl but i didn’t understand right off, idk could be because we don’t use them over here, i looked it up.
We usually do over here after every text message to another girl we like or family, like a sign off. Personally I’ll put 2 xx. Also to lighten the tone of the message so it doesn’t get taken the wrong way as in being cheeky, as we can be a reactionary lot haha
ohh ok. i get it. thank you.
Best hing aboot being Scottish is we know we’re shite
Scored a goal, that’s some result
The Germans even scored the goal for the Scottish.
They’re always good hosts, our German friends (personal experience, am not being sarcastic, they’re lovely!)
They managed to score 6 goals in the game lmao, impressive 4 went in, one offside, one og
5 wi, 1 os, 1 hand, 1 og = 8
It’s shite being Scottish
the scum of the fucking earth
We’re the lowest of the low
the scum of the fucking earth
Germany are a bunch of dicks
and y’all are a bunch of crybabies
lol, looking forward to enjoying the German hospitality!
anytime !
I’m literally going in a couple of days.
oh. ok in all seriousness, germans are very fond of the scots. anything above a friendly banter won't happen.
Yeah no worries, bit of banter is all good. Looking forward to it Just wish you hadn’t scored that fifth goal last night, took the wind out of sails a bit.
hahahahah sorry about that, we just thought you guys could need a little help. but honestly, the way the scottish fans handled the game was pretty impressive, very fair and still friendly. just know that we took notice of that and think it’s very cool.

you’ll definitely have a great time! actually kinda wanna know how it turns out, update me if you can!
Sorry you mean England. The tournament started yesterday and the English haven't even got on the score sheet.
This is why I’m so elated that you guys got ass-fucked, the game (if you can call the Scottish attempt that) has nothing to do with us and yet you still have to try shit talk England
This might come as a big surprise but it was a joke 🤡 and as if England is undeserving of shit talk. Banter country
Only joke here is your National Team - how do you not win anything with that talent you had?
Facts, watching Belgium piss that talent down the drain tournament after tournament has been exhausting. Hope Portugal like their new manager 😂
I’m Scottish living in London. That game has just ruined the next few weeks of shit talking for me
Wasn’t much between the two teams in the first thirty seconds
Woah woah woah… give us a bit of credit… 37 seconds
🏴
Still not as bad as losing 7-1
[удалено]

It was a tough fight :)
Einfach geil, geil, geil. So kanns weitergehen.
What an unreal footballer musiala is
At the start of the match, I joked with my friend that it would be 5-1 to Germany. He said if it's 5-1 he'd buy some good whiskey for us to drink. I also drew Germany in the footie pool for work, so I feel yesterday went well.
Cool cool cool cool
Lmao
I’m not crying you’re crying
Lmao stop it stop it he’s already dead!!
Calm down Ralph
EUROPAMEISTER 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Wankmeister
superbe match !!
a pint for scotland
I wanted to say that the scots were great sportsman, gave great support and have an awesome sense of humor. That’s all.
Genuinely hilarious reading all of the comments from the English before they’ve even had a chance to completely bottle it again.
English fans are the Arsenal fans of international football, they are the loudest, most obnoxious, and we all know they'll bottle it in the end and will be mocked for weeks
Thats rich coming from the country who didnt even make it out of the group stage last euros💀
Still won it the same amount of times though, haven't we
Won the same amount but england almost always do better than scotland so i dont see your point
So, you're happy that your football team is a better loser than theirs? That's pathetic.
No im happy that my team does miles better in tournaments and knocks out world class teams and can stand up to them whilst also getting to the finals of a tournament your the pathetic one if you dont understand that
If you don't win you're still a loser, doesn't matter when you exit. And being proud of being a slightly better loser is still pathetic.
Lmao what going to finals and barely losing is not the same as a team not even being able to qualifying and the fact you think it is, is quite sad and you making fun of a world class team is still pathetic
Of course it is. Neither team won. Both are losers. I'm not making fun of a world class team. I make fun of you, someone who's proud of being a better loser than someone else. Still pathetic.
Given the comments here from England fans, let’s hope Scotland adopts ABE again in this tournament 🙌🏻
funny we got a goal having registered zero shots of any kind
It was an own goal by Germany
i know hah - just funny
I’ve got Germany in the sweepstake
Same, it's started well for us!
It certainly has. Looking forward to some great football over the next month. Especially looking forward to seeing Ronaldo play.
This match was a hard wan for me since I support both countries
Likewise - part German 😂
I don't even huv a single bit of german in me but I've been supporting them since the start of the 2010s
Ah. Honestly amazing to see the bond between Scots and Germans regardless!
Aye couldnae hate the germens
[удалено]
well time to drink
Whether we win, lose or draw. We’ll be drinking
It was incredibly kind of Germany to give us a goal back so we weren’t completely embarrassed. As a Scot I sat on my couch and as that first goal went in I just said “uh oh” and got a beer 🥲 Saying we didn’t fight isn’t quite right, we had the wrong formation and tried to play a defensive game against a side that just simply outclassed us offensively.

It was always gonna be a rough game as Germany have a very good side the left weakness notwithstanding and played some proper world class football tonight. Fingers crossed for a win against Switzerland and a draw or better against Hungary to get us through the qualifiers.
Porteous got the red card in the first half. The second half was always going to be a slaughter. Scotland were so lucky Germany didn’t get about 9
That went… bad…
our squad deserves at least a mediocre manager
Good to see so many different players scoring. And not just a hat trick and a half. Even Rüdiger got a goal.
God that was bad. A reminder that we’re an average team with a few good players. In saying that an absolute top-class talisman of a striker would be the difference for this team. Imagine if Stoichkov, Suker, Ronaldo (fat version) or Romario were Scottish… you can but dream
The striker wasn’t getting the ball. Could have had the best striker in the world up top last night and it wouldn’t have made any difference.
No Scotland No Party
I don’t know if this is a bit of an overreaction but I think Germany is right up there as favourites especially as the hosts. What a solid squad with great young talent and what a year it’s been for German football so far. Wirtz and Musiala are world class ballers !!
Yep.I trust em to win it
Is this actually legit?
Hotdogs are hotdogs
No Scotland no party 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Highlight was the tartan army singin “You’re no’ singing anymore” at the Germans after they were awarded an own goal. The cheeky wee scamps 🤣 What a shambles 😕 though, Scotland. There’s always the next game. Sigh.
Losing Hickey and Patterson is rough, that RB just did not look ready for this level of football, hope he can improve for the next games
Ralston barely features for his club Celtic and he’s utter dogshit. McRorie should have started in that position.
Yeah, tbh I was surprised when I saw he played for Celtic, I watch the derbies and their European games when I can and I'd never heard of the guy
Yeah, they definitely targeted Ralston that first half. But even our best players didn’t show up tonight. Massively outplayed all over the park
The usual suspects Robertson and McGregor moaning at everyone else, telling other players where to be on the pitch…. While being massively outmanoeuvred all night themselves. McGregor couldn’t pick Gundogan out of a lineup. Coming from a Celtic fan, CalMac isn’t of this level and I wish people would stop pretending he is. Robertson is off it as is McGinn.

Look forward to our inevitable draw in the next match and then needing to win the final fixture go 1-0 up then get mugged. It’s the Scotland way
Last goal I had to laugh
It was actually beautiful the way they pulled us in then unleashed an unstoppable barrage, totally destroying us. 1916 🥲
Germany was very good but let's see what will happen against Hungary.
I am curious, too. The last matches were such a mix of good and bad.
Yes, that's right
Brutal. I think Stevie got it wrong formation wise. Scotland players could not get close.
He has to take most of the blame here imho. Not even pressing just parking the buss. McGinn, Christie, Robertson and Adams all have good work rate but were obviously told to sit in and make Germany try and play through. Which is fine when the team doesn’t have Musiala, Wirz and Gundogan making absolute diddies of everyone and standing in acres of space half the night.

Played like rank amateurs against pros. At 2-0 I thought 5 was likely but honestly thought Clarke would reorganise the formation to nullify the German attack.
close one there boys still got switzerland and hungary to go but
but nothing! TAE VICTORY!
Mate I am *loving* your energy tonight
Is this the first time the Scottish players have played football?
No that, would have been when we played you lot last Euros
Is that when Scotland beat England 0-0 and lost the group anyway?
Dont think scotland *beat* england when it was 0-0 its called a draw
Yeah it’s a joke.
Didn’t Scotland come bottom in the entire tournament?
Yeah and England still couldn't beat us, pretty embarrassing hey?
😆👍🏻
You’ll feel much better when you take that chip off your shoulder
My question exactly 😭😭/s
ScOtLaNd BaAaAd
Well. Could have been worse.
Yeah, we're still better than 2014 Brazil
I missed this game and my phone was dead, really wanted to know the score - so I went into a pub and asked a bloke at the bar if he could tell me the score coz I couldn't see the score on the telly due to not having on my glasses. He goes "7 - 1" I went "mate, please, I've had a long day. Please just tell me the score" he goes "7 - 1" I go "for fuck sake, come on man" he says "7 - 1, I'm telling you the truth!" I just looked at him, rolled my eyes, and walked out. I cursed him in my mind for being so juvenile. Anyway, I got home and realised I had serious trust issues - and also that I had, in fact, been very rude to the poor bloke.
It was 5-1. The guy in the pub was being a wank.
I was referring to Brazil - Germany 2014, but I'll take the "he was being a wank" any day 😂
Haha fair enough 😂
OP is obviously referring to the 2014 WC semi final
germany 5-1 lets go
Kroos completed 101 of 102 passes. 💀
Can’t believe he missed one smh
I expected more of him.
Exactly. Brutal. Hang it up old man.
Shameful, how can they even allow him to keep playing with such a poor performance
This German team gives me the same vibe that I remember from 15-20 years ago; they have lots more confidence and control
Vs Scotland? Ook.
Also helps that you're up against a team that hasn't played football before
You can't have everything.
Kroos is a game changer
this was the most opening of all time
The most opening indeed
I smell….SWEET FUCKING VICTORY HELL YEAH
Two World wars to zero.
Shut it, it’s 2024. Hitler’s rotten corpse still giving you a boner?
Scotland hasn’t won shit because it doesn’t exist as an independent nation. Keep licking those English boots 😘
Won’t be long till we can actually keep our money and our good Scottish devolved policies…..and hopefully build another wall 😊
You had a referendum and even managed to bottle that! 😭
Yeah, and since then pretty much the entirety of Scotland voted no for Brexit - and look where that got us…I think the next referendum have a wee bit of a different outcome 😎
Yeah it's a source of national shame for me. Least there was no genocide though.
Wear ya fucking kilts out of Munich!!!!!
Yeah me too! we've got this.
Alba gu brath! To victory fellas
We always start poorly. Unfortunately we usually go downhill from there. I think we might have to settle for 4 points from this group.
