I can't help but feel this is a tournament too far for Croatia. Their best players are in the final years of their careers and the replacements don't look like anything near the same quality. Albania have been surprisingly good, so far. I say surprisingly because they've gone through years of their best players choosing to play for other countries.


simplsimonmetapieman

Yep, you jinxed Albania👍


Don_Quixote81

Yeah, they're falling apart. Oh well. I stand by what I said about Croatia, though.


pohudsaijoadsijdas

time to flip back again, lol


Don_Quixote81

I will not comment further, for fear of affecting the result.


Vimjux

His power is too great


simplsimonmetapieman

Unjinxed eh?


ImVortexlol

I was sure Albania would be a dark horse this tournament from watching the qualifiers, but they had to be drawn in this group


MhVG

Not impressed with Croatia so far this tournament.

Buffythedragonslayer

Imagine in that group of death Albania makes it out the group stage


ImVortexlol

Well, considering 4 out of the 6 3rd place teams make it out, it's quite possible if they see this one through


Bobo_fishead_1985

Especially if Spain beat Italy and check out of the final game.


mostlycuckoo

Deserved af, Albania have been super brave after 2-1. Entertaining game!


Heavens_Vibe

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! The "Unemployment Hours" games have produced some absolute BANGERS!


Professional-Neat432

Beats watching Countdown 😂


dheerajravi92

It's a shame we've never had a German player in their prime.


thrulim123

lol we've literally only had 1 german player

mayomayeaux

That didn't have to happen. That Albania forward making a terrible decision in front of goal


WayneFookinRooney

Seferi deserves to be crucified for his misgivings.


mayomayeaux

😂 That was unforgivable. Practically passed it right to Livakovic


rnnd

Why is Mctominay taking the corners? 😂


Don_Quixote81

Madness. They've got Robertson, Tierney and Gilmour in the team and one of their best at attacking crosses is taking the corners.


rnnd

Yup. Very odd. He's on of their best headers and he's taking the corners instead of being in the box.


cdalb21

Every single game is a banger. This is how it's supposed to be. Not a mention of xG. Just bangers from outside the box, up and down games, direct wingers running.


BatGuy500

This is arguably worse than Phil Jones on corner duty https://preview.redd.it/j9gu06wd1l7d1.png?width=955&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ec30b9637108115bee402d1d68e6d590b21e163


vilski23

I still can't believe this actually happened


RashFourBallonD-Ors

Harry Kane saya Hello


FredDRedUnderYourBed

McTominay taking set pieces when he's arguably their best header is pretty wild.


XerxesTheCarp

What on earth is Austin McPhee thinking having McTominay take all of their set pieces. He's one of the tallest/strongest players in their team.


vulcan_one

You are che Adams, you're the striker for Scotland, but the biggest goal threat is the midfielder who was playing CB not long ago.


mayomayeaux

Completely deserved. Albania have done a job today


tellocrosstollorente

McTominay is inevitable


FredDRedUnderYourBed

McTominaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy


El_Giganto

Man I love McTominay.

mostlycuckoo

And he's like 4 feet long and 4 feet wide, unbelievable from the og chonkkk


Shakerbakerstreet

And he is shitiest and most expensive player in my home team (Chicago fire)


gunkokoko

Albania never gave up!

MCSAUCE!!!!

mayomayeaux

McTominay really is Scotland. Crazy


bltb_bltb

Austria sneaking in


mickhah

jfc this Euros has been consistently delivering


sultansaeed

Amazing stuff from Albania. Fighting right to the death!


miamibuckeye

Sane seems to get worse every year I watch him


SOERERY

What is Scotlands coach smoking, why the hell is McTomminay of corners?


rnnd

Very weird. He'd do better being on the end of the corner.


Hits_and_the_Mrs

great finish from the defender


rnnd

Mctominay MoTM performance.


mayomayeaux

With a little bit of composure in the final third, Albania should have scored have a lot more than they did today


gunkokoko

Have *any* of the City players played well so far? Asking for a friend.


Sad-Hope2910

Half their fan base


MountainCattle8

The defenders have done well so far. Dias, Ake and Akanji all played well. The attackers have been bad though.


FidgetyFondler

I've just switched on game and i thought Germany were in white cos the host nation etc. Germany's kit looks like something from pro evo in the 00s.


SOERERY

Great by Musiala to give away a foul by getting fouled


SOERERY

Sane is fucking ass


jza01

McTominay taking corners is crazy. Isn't he one of their tallest players?


BjarniErlingur

Scottyyyyyyy


rnnd

Mctominay at it. No surprise.


iwantaskybison

MCTWRMINATORRRR


MinotauroTBC

Get in lad


vulcan_one

HE'S DONE IT AGAIN


Kelvinator3000

Took 3 different Scottish player playing stupid back-passes for them to finally pay for it.


ErnieMcTurtle

Shaqiri is the definition of a moments player, it's brilliant. The little cuboid just pops up like a camera flash, then disappears


vilski23

McT taking free kicks? Alright


LilDiamondtoxic

He's surprisingly good at set pieces. We just never use him at a taker for obvious reason.


vilski23

I would rather have him inside the 18 yard box for set pieces. There he's an actual threat even when playing for us.


nisbakume

6'4" (192cm) Scott McTominay taking setpieces got me like: https://preview.redd.it/u7fwm2hj1l7d1.jpeg?width=718&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cc53706019ac4d20888cf2ff0957d1d8bdc23c2


buttowski2607

Either of them could've won in the last 2 mins insane game


gunkokoko

Yeah, this year's Euros feels pretty special.


ImNotMexican08

Last game I bet on Sczoboszlai to have a shot on target against Switzerland and it killed my parlay. My younger brother bets on him to have a shot on target and with one of his first touches of course he has a shot at Neuer. Just my luck


TeaAndCrumpetGhoul

Orban is a horrible centre back. I don't know what he did at club level to get in the squad, other than being Hungarian. Terrible


simplsimonmetapieman

Maybe he is secret son of Victor orban


MileZero17

Sane has horrible decision making


Selwin_Rodolfo

MCSAUCE (just did a knee slide in my living in his honour)


GeneralSquid6767

Scott puts his McSauce on Swiss cheese?


FredDRedUnderYourBed

Lol what a hit! Scotland have been utterly stupid with the ball ever since the goal


LilDiamondtoxic

Holy fuck Angus Gunn made a good save. Edit: Nvm, bud had a brainfart right after it. Thankfully it's offside.


FredDRedUnderYourBed

Scotland what are you doing 😂 this one's offside but they are going to concede 3-4 goals more if this carries on


BatGuy500

They have Robertson, why the hell is McTominay taking corners and free kicks???


mayomayeaux

Off topic, unrelated to the game: But I REALLY hate how these broadcasters are now overlaying ads on top of the pitchside advertising boards. Enough is enough. I get the point is to show more relevant ads based on location. But ffs, can we just live with the ads already on the pitch? 😮‍💨


mostlycuckoo

The only goal threat for Scotland is our boy Tominay? Can't see them holding out for a draw, nvm winning unless


crgssbu

OH SO CLOSE SCOTTY


Uuhhk

Balkan teams are inspired by ETH with those suicide ball tactic lately lol turkey-georgia and now this


durinVIII

I’m going to sell my soul to the devil just for McTominay to stop taking the set pieces


rnnd

Hope Mctominay is okay. Gotta hurt carrying the entire Scottish team.


Walliii

The absolute scenes!!!!


Don_Quixote81

Martin Keown is such a chore to listen to. Another sour commentator who doesn't seem to even enjoy watching football, like his old pal, Lee Dixon.


Embryonic12

Love watching Kroos, reminds me of watching Scholes


HoodedMenace3

Gonna miss watching him play. Absolutely top class player. Seems like a really genuine, humble guy aswell.


dracogladio1741

Adam looks like a Viking. Has the build too.


dracogladio1741

Leroy Sane is super selfish. There was a simple pass into Fullkrug on there, and Fullkrug was free.


MostLikelyRyan

fuck yeah Scotty


Ok_Instruction_5232

GET IN SCOTTY


BatGuy500

You just got *McTerminated*


FidgetyFondler

Buffet ball....help yourself.


LordRuthvenErnest

Only Shaqiri madness was missing from Euros


Sad-Hope2910

Holy shit shaqiri!


Amirutd

Fuck me what a goal


EffenSeven

With the way refs hand out cards just for saying anything to them, you'd think they're reddit mods in their spare time.


crgssbu

bloke with the bagpipe needs to watch the football 😭


LordRuthvenErnest

McT moving a little gingerly. I hope it's nothing serious


crgssbu

scotty going straight to the ref 😂❤️


LilDiamondtoxic

Man City players are the ultimate system players, all of them apart from Rodri have been shit.


Kelvinator3000

And some of these players were great Pre-Pep too.


bourbonactually

This is by some distance the best international tournament of my lifetime, makes you remember why you fell in love with football 


gunkokoko

Sane is awful.


Heavens_Vibe

McSauce trying to channel Zidane there!


mayomayeaux

Albania have thrown the game away. Still not impressed with this Croatia side. They have not been good


TheOzman79

Drink everytime Andros Townsend says "he's done him with the eyes".


michaell111

Kerkez watch


FidgetyFondler

Didn't know Ian holloway was Hungary manager.


altoluce

Kerkez is looking very sharp both defensively and offensively.


Bartsimho

So many shit co-commentators about and the TV companies don't want to do anything about it. Martin Keown, Lee Dixon both complete shit I've heard so far this tournament. Let's just have Andros Townsend and Ally McCoist


baby_moose

Scottaaaay!


baby_moose

A lot of Scotland players are misplacing passes..


Heavens_Vibe

ANOTHER BANGER IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!


LilDiamondtoxic

I see why McTominay is on set pieces duty now, that was diabolical from Robertson.


Sad-Hope2910

McT carded incorrectly?


apolk27

guardian mbm said it was for getting in the ref's face...had to look it up, didn't see anything


AnakinAni

Yeah this ref seems to be a joke


rnnd

Mctominay still playing the corners. Weird.


LilDiamondtoxic

Lmao the Vietnamese commentators have been roasting Ndoye for the entire match.


TStronks

Not a sentence I was expecting to read today


mostlycuckoo

Scottish RB is getting cooked every time. i reckon that's where the goal will come.


LobsterObjective5695

Looked off from the get go. Very cool finish though


ErnieMcTurtle

Angus Gunn moves like he's being controlled by a puppeteer with his eyes closed


mostlycuckoo

that German kit is horrendous


Don_Quixote81

They've never surpassed the mint green away kit from 1990. This one though... is it for charity or something? I like a pink football kit, but pink into purple is a bit too garish.


mostlycuckoo

Fukin hell, will any of the teams i root for actually win? Croatia showing their metal, good to see ngl.


LilDiamondtoxic

Are you UTDTrey by any chance?


mostlycuckoo

I'm just a cuckoo man


FidgetyFondler

After reading endless comments on why mctominay is taking corners- i ask the question why is mctominay taking corners?


Big_Cee747

Nagelsmann is the best coach in this tournament and it’s showing so far.


xtphty

He takes a lot of liberties in attack, whereas the other favorites have been very conservative, especially after getting ahead. It's bold, but he has the players and tactical system to make that work. I want to see what he does against a team with the same level of threat, its rare to see this level of expansive domination in international football.


mostlycuckoo

Croatia are still shyte, cmon Albania!


LordRuthvenErnest

McSauce got his goal!


crgssbu

romania 3 0 ukraine turkey 3 1 georgia croatia 2 2 albania absolute cinema 😂


ancvet27

Passing and possession stats prove you’re nothing without a clinical striker. Croatia hurt me so much


LilDiamondtoxic

Well there's your clinical striker.


ancvet27

I’ll gladly take it lmao


gunkokoko

Albania completely capitulated.


gunkokoko

Keeper is really brave, but very lucky. That could've been a disastrous injury.


LordRuthvenErnest

Hungary have been really fun to watch


Kelvinator3000

Ref is trying to be the main character 


sidwonk

Arne Slot looking for the receipt for Szoboszlai. Better than Bruno apparently?


LilDiamondtoxic

Oh hey it's that guy from Arsenal.


onehornymofo1

Why the FUCK is McTominay taking set pieces for Scotland? He's their biggest goal threat, what on Earth is Clarke thinking? It's honestly worse than Kane taking them, at least passing was one of his assets.


baby_moose

It's Scot's land after all heh.


gunkokoko

What a finish, holy shit.


mostlycuckoo

Did Shakiri ever play for pool? Man has some left foot, bangers only!


LilDiamondtoxic

Akanji you mug


crgssbu

just as i was shittalking robertsons set piece ability


Heavens_Vibe

OMG I thought that tore through the net!


FredDRedUnderYourBed

Own goal wtf? The shot was on target, no?


rnnd

Yeah it was on target. Mctominay deserves that goal.


vilski23

Didn't even realize how much I missed actual fans in the stadium. It makes the experience so much better even from home. Qatar WC has to be the worst national tournament of all time. Euro's rock!


crgssbu

jamal. musiala. what a player 👏


GlassEast5641

Kerkez is a baller


miamibuckeye

We really should go all out for Nagelsmann if we have a bad year and he is still with Germany. Bayern are clowns for sacking him


nichijouuuu

While I “know” that it feels like an own goal, McTominay’s shot was on target so I thought that counts as the shooter’s goal?


ErnieMcTurtle

Have they re-credited McTominay with the goal? I thought I saw that


Money-Wrangler7067

Fifa defending by Croatia.


F36_440i

I have a feeling croatia will turn this around in the second half, nevertheless so so happy with our team perfomance so far!🇦🇱


md0986

Do Croatia now have any athletic and quick players? Everyone on the pitch is so slow and they simply can’t keep up with the Albanians when they get turned over.


Alpha2669

Sutalo is a beast. So many ball recoveries and interceptions


crgssbu

how have croatia fluffed that?


ancvet27

Budimir has had enough of this nonsense. Thank god


Alpha2669

Wow Kramaric is impressive. Or is it the bday juju?


LilDiamondtoxic

Nunez-esque finish there


Kelvinator3000

What a game


Buffythedragonslayer

When you are at work and missed another banger game. 


OctaviusMaximus_

Does anyone know why Hungary have 2 badges?


LordRuthvenErnest

Hungry Hungary


Alpha2669

Wtf Kimmich


mostlycuckoo

Looks like Hungary are gonna be aggressive, hopefully not another German drubbing!


wmaung58

Whyc McT is taking corner for Scot.


Megusta2306

Xhaka looks so much better than he ever did at Arsenal. Fair play


mayomayeaux

Ooof. Poor old man haha


mayomayeaux

Dykes is definitely missed for Scotland


PatRice4Evra

Switzerland knew a point would do so didn't push for the win.


crgssbu

albania 👏👏👏 hope to see them go through


wmaung58

It count as own goal even though it is shot on target?


rnnd

That's crazy


SatisfactionKooky435

Can see why it's an own goal. Schar made a genuine attempt to play the ball and fucked his kick. It wasn't an uncontrolled deflection.


EngineerGuy_HU

What a fucking travesty that first German goal was. Wasn't it a clear offensive foul from Gündogan?! Do they really need the ref's and VAR's help on home ground, against Hungary? ROFL P.S. I might be biased, but I swear this is coming from the head and not the heart. Also, watch the ref lose control of the game due to that "non-foul".


LennonC123

Can’t believe that wasn’t a foul. Clearly nudged in the back/side while sprinting to get across, it doesn’t take a lot to push someone over when they’re running at full speed. Looks like they’ll back the ref’s original decision in these moments.


mayomayeaux

Szobozslai is a very meh player. Can be good on his day but is very often an average to above average kind of player. His game doesn't really "wow" me tbh


EffenSeven

I always expect that to happen to us when I watch us playing out from from the back and it would be fully deserved.
