The Tartan Army’s party became the talk of the town before Scotland had the honor of starting the first match of this year’s European Championships, but their ardent supporters’ celebrations were quickly cut short when a glorious German side ripped Clarke’s meek men to shreds in Munich.
Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug, and Emre Can all scored against the Scots, who were reduced to ten men in the second half after Ryan Porteous’ horrific tackle on Ilkay Gundogan, before Havertz converted his penalty kick.

While Scotland was left to reflect on a lackluster performance at the Allianz Arena, Switzerland deservedly went into the break two goals up against Hungary, thanks to two first-time scorers in Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer, who ensured that their quick start would be rewarded.
Murat Yakin’s side took their foot off the gas in the second half, allowing Barnabas Varga to cut the deficit in half with a Dominik Szoboszlai delivery, but the Rossocrociati’s two-goal lead was restored in extra time via a delicate Breel Embolo lob.

Scotland’s attackers barely saw the ball against Germany, thanks in part to Die Mannschaft’s brilliant performance and in part to their perpetually sloppy passing, and a strong Swiss side will not give much away either. While Yakin’s men did fall asleep briefly against Hungary, their three points were well deserved, and we can only imagine Switzerland securing a top-two finish while inflicting familiar Euros misery on Scotland.
Scotland 0-1 Switzerland, predicted by us.
