Euro 2024

[Milltown Row2]

Didn't realise we had the worst performance in Euro history with our -8 in 2012. I doubt Scotland will exceed that as Hungary are clearly shite. But at least we had The Fields to sing as we were getting hammered. Flower of Scotland is not a patch on it.

Were Hungary not on an  (until the Ireland game) unbeaten run of 14? That's not bad

I think they'll be happy to meet Scotland

I know but Scotland are still a slight bit better than Ireland. They could still get something out of the Swiss and Hungary games.

They've come in with poor form, injuries and high expectations. Not a great mix..

Think about the quality of the teams Scotland had back in day.

3 giants ( and fill in the rest) Hansen Souness Dalglish, they never got out of the groups

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Archie Gemmill deserves a mention surely! 

Scotland have also been unlucky with their groups. And that 70s-80s team was playing in an era when there were far fewer teams (and thus more quality in the teams that qualified), and none of this "best placed third team crap."

[weareros]

The 1982 team. Still my favourite World Cup song. Don't know the nature of Alan Hansen's illness but please god he'll pull through.

Interesting

[jcpen]

Man United will be looking for Weghorst to come back next season.

[Captain Obvious]

England up and running will be their competition to lose even at this early stage.

[imtommygunn]

Bellingham can be an awful knob.

[jcpen]

Serbians are tackling hard, great to see.

Yeah Bellingham can act the knob alright.

England started well but are lucky to have the lead as they didn't create a lot and Serbia are coming into the game.

That's interesting.

Germany could gave another team in the tournament. 

[From the Bunker]

Germany could gave another team in the tournament. 

Yeah, 15 players born in Germany playing this tournament for other countries.

[imtommygunn]

England started well but are lucky to have the lead as they didn't create a lot and Serbia are coming into the game.

This team is a long way off winning this tournament. They're not great.

[AustinPowers]

That Kane  is a awful hoor for the  diving

[imtommygunn]

He's a cheating bollocks. Saka tends to go missing when a real tight marking defender goes on him.
