Euro: Group A: Scotland vs. Switzerland

[Spring in Fialta]

Every tournament Shaqiri becomes unstoppable for Switzerland. What a legend he is for that NT.

I thought Hickey was injured?

MLS MLS MLS MLS

Hell yeah!

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

If one only watches these tournaments Shaqiri would be considered one of the best lll

Shaqiri doing Shaqiri things.

That being said, only just realizing Switzerland's kit has blue accents. I mean why..they look like a Finland team out there.

[Ceremony]

We'd be better digging a hole than having Ralston at right back.

Rod Stewart songs have been a remarkable source for continental European football chants over the last 50 years. That particular song I've heard in about 100 different versions for many years in German-speaking Europe.

MASSIVE SAVE ! COME ON

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Gilmour is a premier flopper. That was pathetic.

What about Bonnie Tyler songs?

He is Messi when he puts on the Swiss colours.

Good point. Tbf Rod Stewart did release a version of this song at one point..perhaps because Bonnie Tyler's vocals do sound a lot like his style on that song.

 

[koyvoo]

Scotland look nice since the disallowed goal.

 

[McGarnagle]

Great day for Albanians between the draw with Croatia and now Shaqiri doing his thing

 

[Ceremony]

I can't see Ralston coming back for the second half. Go to a back four, put Tierney at right back and put Christie on and get one of the midfielders to push up and get near Adams.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Better but still dinosaur football. Woeful at the back.

 

[al secord]

Chin up. The game is still there to be had for Scotland

If not for a moment of stupidity at right back.

I feel aright coming out of that half. A couple let downs but overall decent.

Here’s the thing - we’re a football crazy nation but we haven’t evolved with the times. We’ve got the results recently and went through a purple patch last year beating Spain in that run. But our style of play is so poor compared to even the likes of Romania, Georgia and Albania.

That really shouldn’t be the case.

Hopefully we can get the win but fundamental change is needed at every level. My club are complicit in never giving youth a chance. Our development record is shocking.

Gilmour looks like a real life version of one of those "what would a modern player look like in the past" arguments. Like he's playing a different sport entirely.

 

[Live in the Now]

Other than Robertson nobody is confident enough or skilled enough to want to run at Swiss defenders. Very frustrating.

 

[Power Man]

Wow

 

[McGarnagle]

Tierney's leg buckled, he's done
