It seems that the strategy played by Scotland is not working well. In the early minutes of the match, Scotland tended to play defensive football but they didn't really play aggressively or apply tight pressure on their opponents and this is what gave Germany a lot of space to build attacks. As a result, Germany managed to score 2 goals even though the match was still running for 20 minutes. After those 2 goals, Scotland looked very depressed and didn't seem to know what they should do to break the pressure from the Germans.

This big win was a very good start for Germany and will certainly increase their motivation, it's just that they shouldn't get too carried away or they shouldn't be too complacent too early because that could actually end up being a boomerang and it might catch them off guard.

It is true that EURO 2024 this time gives Germany more opportunities to continue winning. It could be said that the German portion is quite promising if it succeeds in winning the trophy. Starting the journey as the home team and successfully scoring 5 goals, Germany proved that with a squad full of stars this time they could easily overcome obstacles.

Kroos return to the national team squad was the right decision, German has learned from last season that he regretted not calling Kroos to the national team. There is no doubt that as Kroos gets older his abilities become more mature, he also becomes a differentiator on the pitch with his accurate passing. As Fabrizio Romano said, Kroos accuracy is 99%.

A really good start by the German team. I expected to see both teams playing carefully and defensively and the game ending with like 1-0 for the hosts, but things went completely different.
I think the early goal by Wirts set the tone, and the well-deserved red card at the end of the 1st half was a nail in the coffin for Scotland.
I expected Scotland to do a little better. In the past, they proved they were capable of playing at a high level, but they got completely neutralised yesterday. But at least they managed to sore a goal, despite having zero shots on target.

that's football for you! Things like this happens and you don't have to blame rudiger for it, at least, it's good that the visiting team get to see one goal to thier favour even though it's not scored by one of thier players. Rudiger had been supportive throughout the first and second half and although he won't be happen with himself that he scored an home goal, the team won't make a big deal out of it cause they already know that rudiger is good at what he does regardless of whatever unplanned mistakes that happens.

when you see Tony Kross you see maturity and a good sportsman. He doesn't seem to be slowing down and if any player on that pitch should be thinking of retiring at this time, one wouldn't wish it to be Tony Kross but that's his decision and we have to respect it. He's just too good at what he does and has so far stood too strong as the kernel of the German team. His passes are as top notch and perfect as a combination of Ozil and Luka modrik in one person and his vision is as smart as possible. The Germany team is incredible and we're bent to see more outstanding performance in Thier next match.

It is very clear that Germany has to prove it at home, because if they lose or draw then the fans will be disappointed with this opening match, a very convincing win with a score of 5-1 according to Germany still hasn't proven that it is strong because we haven't seen Germany face it.  tougher country, what kind of game is it, by the way, congratulations on winning your bet.

It was just a consolation goal because regardless of whether there was a goal or not, the outcome of this match was predictable, the only difference was in terms of betting I also got the same result that I already felt that there was no chance of getting the bet I made for both teams to score especially since Germany dominated so much and Ryan Porteous' red card made it even more difficult but it was fortunate that Rudiger made hope with his own goal in the 3 minutes of normal time before the end.

Germany's game this time is also a bit different to what they showed in the friendlies, whether it is one of Nagelsmann's strategies to keep them unpredictable or they have found a new scheme, the probability of Germany becoming a strong candidate is increasing at the moment.

Today we will see some interesting money matches and my attention is now on Croatia's match against Spain.

Indeed the bigger winning Germany on the first Euro 2024 match, have interested statistic after Rudiger become the first player scoring own goals last night. But its not bad record for him because Germany national team success securing three points and prepare for second matchdays against Hungary to secure one ticket to 16 round phase.
 
Last night, Toni Kroos performance perfectly after success making good record as the maestro of passing without any mistake yet, he plays very well last night and seems can't acceptable his decision retired from football after Euro 2024. I am waiting his magical performance on next match against Hungary and seems still get first choose on holding midfielder against Hungary, will second match has opportunity for Toni Kroos scoring goals and increasing his amount success pass?

My bet was saved by a goal from Rudiger (GBD) both teams scored, but for me it was not a big problematic mistake because Germany's goal was already a big lead, this did prove that Germany is very strong they put more pressure on Scotland plus at the beginning of the match a goal party for the hosts.

Actually this is a big difference in terms of statistics while Germany has more star players throughout the European league who have shone so they naturally win in a very large goal situation, of course we enjoy this match.

Don't have much hope for Scotland after this defeat. Their morale will be down anyway. That said, I still don't consider Germany as one of the favorites to win Euro 2024. They are a team in eternal decline, similar to the case with Netherlands or Belgium. A one-off victory against Scotland is not going to do anything good for them in the long term. Let's see how they will perform in knockout stage. Also, matches against Hungary and Switzerland are remaining, and both of them are tough opponents.

I said before the game that Germany would win the game but it depends on how Germany takes the game seriously, Scotland is a strong opponent too but Germany does exactly what I want them to do in the game to win the game, as I stated yesterday that if Germany wants to win the match they should use their midfield position to play the game and that is what happens in the game, Germany use all their midfield players to play even the wing position yesterday by using Musiala and Wirtz as a wing player to exchange their position and Havertz as a striker in the game and that was very good formation, I like the way Germany coach do with his players.

From the first half of the game Germany had already won the game because Germany was winning with 3 goals without not allowing Scotland to score a single goal, Germany dominated the game and still won the game, all German players played well yesterday and I believe if they continue like this they can win the Euros title. Can anyone tell me why Toni Kroos wants to retire from football? Because I don’t know why he wants to retire when he is still playing like a young player, Toni Kroos can still play more than 2 years of game and he will still play very well and he wants to retire after this euros, the decision he made is not a bad idea but we all will miss his performance and the style of playing.

The competition in Group B will be very interesting. This is a very difficult group for the four teams. Spain is always the favorite but there is no guarantee they will be able to survive easily. The match between Croatia and Spain will definitely attract a lot of attention and these two teams will be fighting for the three points. But because of the 24 team format and the best three teams will qualify for the knockout phase, it looks like Spain, Croatia or Italy will fill that slot.

Absolutely, Spain against Croatia is going to be an intertaining one because looking at the both countries I don't really think if their we be a winner in the game today because the both countries are just equal, but although in football anything can happen at any given time but in this particular game it will be very hard to predict the winner at the end of the day, so however I think the best bet for them is going to be a draw game.

Of course Spain vs Croatia will also be very interesting to wait for, because this group is also the hellish group at this Euro, of course this match will be very interesting to see these two teams will pit their tiki taka against each other, especially Spain who is very favored in this group to win the group because of his extraordinary players this time with many young players will certainly be a problem for Croatia, but Perisic Modric will also do something to bring his country to be the best in this Euro.

There's no doubt the Euros always feature some thrilling matches, so it's time for us to enjoy them this month.

Germany's victory over Scotland really shows how great the German national team is, because at this Euro they are also one of the favorite teams to win With the 5-1 victory over Scotland, it can be seen that Germany played very perfectly, with classy players and also a star-studded cast, nothing could help Scotland to win this match.

With a heavy defeat against Germany, I think the Scottish national team still has a chance to get through this grub phase, they must be able to get back up quickly so they can play 3 more matches perfectly.

Never expected this meek surrender from Scotland. They were in good recent form, with Scott McTominay and John McGinn scoring goals left, right and center. But yesterday it was Germany's day as they made most of it from the home advantage. By the 19th minute, Germany was up by 2-0, thanks to goals from Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala. And by then Scotland had almost accepted their fate. Three more exciting matches today - and out of that Spain vs Croatia is going to be the high-voltage encounter.   

Germany is always the favorite in every tournament, they always show a stunning class of play that makes the audience really enjoy their game. In this edition of the Euro, Der Panzer also has great motivation because they act as hosts, of course Toni Kroos doesn't want to lose momentum. A landslide 5-1 victory over Scotland proved that they are strong enough and have almost no weaknesses. I think Germany will still be able to dominate Group A, while Scotland will have to fight hard in the next match to get a ticket to qualify for the next phase.

Scotland simply were very weakly in this match and let Germany dominated the match then easily destroyed Scotland. Germany had two early goals and the red card for Porteous and a penalty, a third conceded goal before ending of the first half nailed the winning for Germany. Some more conceded goals in the second half only polish this big winning for Germany and put Scotland more closely to the exit gate and go home.

Germany with this big winning, already got a perfect debut in Euro 2024 and big advantage to get a first position in this group. In contrast, Scotland with this big defeat, will have big disadvantage in competition for a second position.

1st game and Germany proved they are a great team and are contender for the cup. Germany was predicted to win this easily but the overall gameplay they have showed in was impressive. They played a good team game. Scotland even though an easier opponent is still a good team. Good and agile passes made Germany stand out. Some offside goals and that one own goal was unfortunate but it was more about luck. Germany seems to be the leading team for its group.

Scotland did lost badly today's game since the german mechanics was ready and working!
The game was quite in a single way with Germans pushing and scoring while Scotland failed even to annoy them..
That game was easy to predict and there will be tomorrow's other games with some difficulties.

And, Scotland's only goal was an OG by Rudiger. This is a gift for Scotland, at least getting 5 - 1 goal, better than 5 - 0 .
But indeed, judging from the abilities of each individual in the club, in every line, their movements, how their coach manages their tactics, the difference between the top team, Germany and Scotland, is clearly visible. Yes, they only had one chance to shoot on target and they also missed it. Then look at how Germany dominated the ball throughout the match. it doesn't seem even, so at the start of the match, it seems to be quite boring to watch. but then. german did it excellently.

It was a very good start to the match and a very good start to the EURO opener for Germany, but on the contrary, very bad for Scotland.
