Will be a football-free summer next year. Don't really have a favorite team apart from NL. Might have to cheer for Spain I guess. No love for your favourite neighbours? ^_^ The Euro Cup just got a little less exciting without the prospect of beating the Netherlands  Oh we have some love for our favourite neighbours too...we really hope Belgium does well this time.

Nothing too surprising, after Iceland I would say we were expected to lose in Turkey. I dunno man. Against Iceland we got a red card because Martins Indi is retarded and they only scored out of a penalty. Losing 3-0 vs Turkey is just pathetic though. Going down to 10 men against Iceland has never been a reason to worry about in the past, especially not at home. What bothered me is there was no fight in the team, or rather there was no "team". I guess I may have been pessimistic, but I just didn't see us winning against Turkey today. I also think Turkey are on paper a much better team than Iceland, who are struggling for some unknown reason. Blind's team selection and his speeches before the match seemed rather odd as well considering how poor we have been. Anyway what scares me most is how poor Blind and de Vrij were today. I mean they were godawful and these guys are supposed to be the future? I'm already looking forward to the Riedewald generation, 18 years old and he looked like our best player. Turkey usually struggles in qualifiers. Anyway I agree with your overall sentiment I don't see how we're going to do any better in the qualifiers for the WC both because of the average coach at best and the doubtful prospects of our youth players.

That's one of the few things that can make me excited about this euro without us in it.

I'd be more surprised to see Spain in the finals than England at this point.
Honestly no one really looks super solid for next years Euro. Every team seems very beatable, so I for one am reallyy looking forward to it.

10pm and rainy as hell... not so sure if I'll go. There's no way Faroe Islands can win, right?

I bet for France this eurocup. I don't know why.

I hope N. Ireland manages to maintain their momentum, Hungary needs to start crumbling NOW.

Spain looked super good vs Slovakia last time out, if they could keep the squad they fielded together for next few games they will be back. Germans are Germans. However England's tourney to lose at this point  best in Europe by a mile at the moment :D
Brazil looked strong pre-WC.  Maybe that's a good sign for the French. ^^

Do we have any scots here who would like to comment on this version of the national anthem that just happened?

Watching Germany is like a rolercoaster ride You have the ups (performance vs Poland, best game they had since the world cup) and then you downs like today Its weird Edit: Also Thomas Müller is just such a funny player. If he wouldn't score then people would talk about how he can't even run properly haha. He is super weird but it works somehow

Emre Can looks horrible as a right back. Yes his physical presence is a plus, but his positioning is awful and he is just not fast enough.

He is going full offensive and is missing in the defense then. That's pretty much how the top german teams play at the moment, only works when the other defenders / mid fielders are on the spot and see when he is missing. Otherwise it looks pretty bad like today

And that clumsy foul leading up to the first Scottish goal ... I am sorry, I just don't see how he can fill that position in the future.

I am sorry, I just don't see how he can fill that position in the future. Of course he is not putting on a world class performance, i agree, i just think it's not all his fault. But it's only his second game for our A team (even though he should be used to pressure/his position from Leverkusen/Liverpool^^). And tbh, there is noone else that could play there lol. Marcel Schmelzer could be an alternative in his current form but he is playing on the left side usually so..

Edit: Lol that's the second time where Götze is like 1m offside
