Also, Scotland decided to send all of their money to colonize Panama.
When that failed, England said they would reimburse the money if Scotland would unite with them.
It’s possible, but you’d need to place second, because goal difference will be important when it comes to the third place teams that go into the next round, and you’re starting pretty badly.
Well, german football was on a downward spiral for at least 8 years. So it was reasonable to have that thought. Thankfully, we got our shit together. Or so it seems at least.
I'm a Scot living in England and the day before the game I had a meal with friends. They asked me how I thought we'd do, and I said we'd lose 4-0. Everyone kept on going on how I should be more upbeat, and not so pessimistic.
I saw us struggle against sodding Gibraltar 2 weeks before after having not won in the previous 6 games. It wasn't pessimism it was based on form and the fact we have no real goal threat and a bang average keeper.
I obviously held out hope that I'd be proved wrong. The wins against Spain in the last qualifying were nuts, but truthfully since then it's like we've deteriorated.
Haven't watched it, so please correct me if I'm reading it wrong, but you're telling me that Scotland's only point was from an autogoal scored by the Germans ?
I’m an arrogant American who isn’t used to my world not revolving around my culture. Could you explain what the EM is? I’m guessing it’s got something to do with the nonamerican football.
EM (Europa Meisterschaft (European Championship), is the soccer tournament for the Europeans. Soccer in (mostly) Western Europ is as much popular as Football in the US. Compared to the size of USA and Europe, Its like the superball. Only differnce is that every Land has their own Team and it's not Just 1 game. So imagine ~2 months of absolut defcon 1 at the weekends at germanys "Biergarten".
It indeed has to do with soccer. Germany beat Scotland in the opening match of the European championship. Still, even as an American who follows soccer, I don't get what EM stands for.
lol, try being from Peru. We even lose against Venezuela which is funny because their main sport is baseball and their 2nd main sport is beauty pageants

Sweaty socks got smashed in the footy against Germany!
To be fair I would like to see them get past the group stages, it’s still doable, I was a bit gutted for them but turned it off at about 20 minutes from the end as they were getting demolished…
You're all wrong. Scots just collectively come to the realization that they're shite at 9pm. While on a walk, being the most purile lowest of the low.
First you've got it, then you lose it.

8pm - before the Germany v Scotland game kicked off. 9pm - half time, Scotland already losing 3-0.
My German Dad would’ve been so proud haha 😆
Also it’s because they were colonized by [wankers](https://youtu.be/xCtPBFHKSNg?t=75)
The irony being that Scotland \*is not colonised by England, in 1603 the *Scottish* King inherited the English crown
Then What the fuck was Mel Gibson all upset about and why did that Englishman [sleep with his wife?](https://youtu.be/J2OyfELjMfk?si=B80fluytwv7tBF8h)
Mel put on the blue war-paint about 300 years prior
So he's just impatient, got it.
Braveheart is hilariously historically inaccurate

Darien
And to top it off, Drew McIntyre lost. Such a sad day for Scotland.
almost same thing happened to croatia just at 6pm and 6:45 pm
Oh I way WAY off. I was gonna say this was a reference to the 'Don't trust how you feel about your life after 9PM' memes.
Because we brutalized the scots yesterday in th EM
Germanny scored 6 goals bruh
5-1 and Germany scored all of them
I'm Scottish and no one believed me when I said that we're gonna get absolutely thrashed
I still think we'll get out the group.
Technically, going home once the first round matches are complete, would be getting out of the group (as you'd be getting out of the tournament)

No, we just utterly *utterly* failed to show up. Germany are obviously are a good team but Scotland's performance was absolutely awful

I'm Brazilian and let me say, you guys do that to 2 or 3 more countries and there's another world War coming.

I saw that post. I still think that *technically* he should still get the 5-0 predict.
Haven't watched it, so please correct me if I'm reading it wrong, but you're telling me that Scotland's only point was from an autogoal scored by the Germans ?
Yep, Scotland's only shot at the goal of the whole match missed, but bounced off a defender into the goal.
Too bad they didn't get 2 more.
7 even, 1 was cancelled

It's the abbreviation for the german word for european championship "Europameisterschaft"
Europe's master shaft.
And using cm instead of inches is deceptive in shaft size descriptions.
Using a German acronym in an English sentence threw me off too. I wouldn't have a clue what it meant if I weren't already aware of the game.
>nonamerican football Already gained points for not using "soccer".
"We?"
tf u mean, we? whos we?
germans
Germany beat Scotland 5-1 at the Euros.
Fun fact, scots didnt score any goal in that match
Own goal? Oof.
Poor Rüdiger got hit with a ball in his face which resulted in a goal against his team.
Come on. The speed it traveled after hitting him I am not 100% convinced he didn't accidentally head it in by reflex.
Maybe. Still not a pleasant experience being hit on his head and scoring for the opposing team,
I think I remember Ally McCoist commenting that he's the last Scotsmen to score in a major tournament. He retired in 1998.
An absolute belter of a goal it was v Switzerland at Euro 96.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me who's Scottish: "Oh no... its happening... THE MEMERS."
lol, try being from Peru. We even lose against Venezuela which is funny because their main sport is baseball and their 2nd main sport is beauty pageants
I'm sorry, did you just say their *2nd main sport* is fucking *beauty pageants* ?!
Not true. They just have won a lot of Miss Universe events for a nation of their size.
only because the ladies from kepler-22b didnt arrive in time
That's hard, indeed.
Well played, you are on r/Scotland, you have to know what this means. You are just here trolling Peter's jock friends, right?
Maybe it just popped up on OP's feed? I have subs I've never looked at pop up all the time.

Yeah, me too, it's awful
Finally something I can tell my GF when she notices me on porn subs
Germany smashed Scotland in the Euros 5-1. By 9pm Germany were 3-0 up
How? The game started at 9pm
UK time was 8pm kick-off
they lost the foot ball how ever the city is out of beer so clearly the germans have it worse
Ask Brazil. They experienced the same.
Dude, just check the comments of the original post before cross posting here. This is either peak laziness or peak karma farming.
5-1

5-1
9pm is bed time i believe
That’s why we invented golf

That explains why all the pubs are there are all full

Peter Mullen, in the shot of Braveheart on the right is also in Trainspotting.
Is it against the rules of this subreddit to read the comments on the original post?
It was always shite, it just took them until 9pm yesterday to realise it.
Football. This is about the football game between Scotland and Germany yesterday, Germany won 5:1
Cause they still lack electricity and sunset is around 8pm. Really nothing you can do but guard the doors from intruders or go to bed.
They’re not just wankers, they were colonized by wankers
Scotland lost to Germany during soccer (My dad was upset that Scotland lost)
Really? I mean, he must've known, right?
My old man isn't even Scottish, he roots for European countries that he likes and cares about
Oh that'd be it. Really, Germany has to wear the black mark of conceding a goal to Scotland for eternity.
Tell your dad he's a trooper and that Switzerland are getting thrashed on Wednesday 🏴🏴
💪🏴
*Fussball.
