    Fair. Although always nice to have McCoist on the commentary.

    The yank siri VAR lass is not needed though.

    That will be very costly in the third place table if they get there.

    Doubt there are more than 4 teams that get to 4 points which is what you’d be hoping for.

    Maybe he’ll actually try to play a little more expansive on Wednesday now. Doubt.

    It would be Zanay in German, but on that basis he should do the whole commentary in German, which tbf might be more bearable.

    Sit-down punditry was obviously keeping Roy Keane relaxed. This talking shit in the kitchen format is going to end with him shitting his pants.

    The pitch-side punditry is the stuff that gets me. You're asking for a ball to the face. All because they didn't get the women a seat in the studio.

    I've just noticed that the funky format causes unnecessary elongation of the tournament. I was doubting in my mind whether the final was July 14, figuring logic might say it was a week earlier for Sir Keir to walk into the ultimate national high, but it seems it is. Were the euros historically three weeks versus the four week world cup? A multi-day gap between the end of the group phase and the last 16 games is just terrible. I guess this happened last time.

    Yeah. I went to check the Euro 96 schedule and that was 3 weeks. I also forgot how a group game at Old Trafford went ahead a day after the IRA bombed the shopping centre.

    Scotland are obviously quite shit but I think the bigger takeaway from tonight is that Germany are probably an excellent side.

    Will see how this stacks up in a week but I think you've got England, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal as more or less equally likely to win it.

    Scotland had no idea how to deal with the high press last night and just looked ridiculous. No out ball which just lead to being completely exposed all over the place. That lunge for the penalty was absolute filth, should be a 5 game ban minimum.

    Germany had a bit of an Italy last time round feel.

    Whether they can get away with that guy in the middle just fouling everything that moves against better opposition might be a question.

    Think they will leak against decent teams. Scotland offered literally nothing and they still scored.

    I would argue that limiting a team (even a hopeless one) to about two touches in the box and zero shots is a more useful indicator than conceding one flukey ricochet own goal.

    Not having a competent right back fit really showed up yesterday. I’m going to presume that’s why they were all shuffling over and leaving huge gaps for Kimmich every time.

    Yesterday’s game was always a bit irrelevant. Tournament was always coming down to the Wednesday and Sunday games. Let’s hope Clark actually learned a thing or two.

    I think he gets wound up by Souness too, remember the world cup opener they were nearly having a dust up at half time about that penalty decision.

    I reckon Souness is the gaffer and spends all day making little digs about Ireland.
