Draw isn't good enough for Scotland?

It might be but with their GD probably not. Both teams need to win really

 

[Blender]

Wow.

 

[NyQuil]

What a crap call.

 

[TMLeafer]

Everything is VARable

 

[Bounces R Way]

Swiss keeper maybe should have had that

Doesn’t matter anyway.

Own goal for golden boot.

VAR for golden glove.

 

[Sol]

That is so stupid they disallowed the goal for the random foul

 

[NyQuil]

VAR again.

Could be offside.

 

[GKJ]

Suisse goal is good

 

[Blender]

That one is really close. Will be a shame if that gets called back as it was a nice one.

 

[Jack Straw]

Phil Esposito approves of that goal

2 points with the bad GD won't cut it unfortunately

There’s a reason Germany is ranked 16th in the world by FIFA. We’re seeing it here today. Germany are clearly not close to the level of Spain/France/England in terms of pure talent and it’s going to hold them back once again. I’d be shocked if they make it past the round of 16, regardless of the home field advantage. Not enough quality throughout the lineup.

Bahahahhahahahaha.

Germany not helped by the slow, choppy pitch, but also typical German problems of having a void up front, lack of precision when playing out opportunities and of course susceptibility to counter attacks. The sloppy passing is probably the thing that pisses me off the most because it's individual mistakes not a feature of the system.

The German goal was rightly disallowed, Switzerland basically stopped playing because of the foul, so obviously that affected the play.

I do think Nagelsmann looks a bit stupid playing the same team as in the previous two matches incl. with players on yellows, when they may lose this match anyway and already Tah is going to be suspended for the 2nd round match and he may be followed by others. No need to make a mess of an entire tournament in a game like this.

You lost me after using the FIFA rankings as a reference point...

 

[Ceremony]

Can't wait to see us qualify out a group for the first time then lose about 18-0 as we play a real team when it matters

I'm just cheering for a shot on goal at this point.

 

[SwissFan12]

Let's go guys

Musiala pushed from behind with both hands right in front of the linesman.

No call. LOL.
