Just the shape of Germany, the fact you can see patterns in their play. Musiala and Wirtz lost the ball just four times in that half between them. https://t.co/bkF3a8Q2FK

No mistake from the spot for Kai Havertz. 3-0 Germany. Klinisch. https://t.co/pXg74lD0l6
Watching in Berlin & Scotlandβs worst first half fears coming to pass. Germany simply different class & finding pockets of space constantly. Nice interchanges & freedom for Wirtz & Musiala everywhere. Had to be a penalty & red for Porteous while harsh maybe to some, was correct.
However Steve Clarke set them up, it didn't work. No outlet going forward. Too much space for Germany on the flanks. One-way traffic. Scotland can do better than this. But can lose this badly and still get out of the group.
Even by Scotlandβs rather grim history in international football tournaments, that was a bloody difficult first half to watch. Home before the postcards. #euro2024

Musiala has been on a different planet than everyone else on the pitch and Germany are just better across the board, but Scotlandβs decision to play a high line w/o much pressing from the front against a team comfortable playing direct looks disastrous. Nightmare 45. #euro2024
