    While Germany were good, Scotland just let them play. So much space from an international defence, even the second goal, Scottish number 8 has this little trot toward the player without really moving,but makes no attempt to stick his leg out, there were at least 4 players 2 yards off him, gave him time to set up, shape and shoot.... straight down the middle.Even with 11, Scotland looked shell-shocked at the magnitude of the evening. It was like a training game for Germany. Yes some nice goals, but at least 3 of them we're down to pure freedom on the ball and loads or space.

    I was in a 'busting at the seams' sports bar in Scotland and it was earsplittingly noisy until the National Anthem ...

    ... then you could sense the occasion was too much for everyone, in the bar and at the match.

    It reminded me of so many big Sunderland games where the size and intensity of our support frightens our own players more than the opposition.

    The support we've always had, at Wembley, has sometimes been too much responsibility in my opinion.

    I now expect Scotland to improve and show the fight they lacked last night.

    Dead right, they're both capable of beating Germany ...

    ... this will be a much better football match than last might.

    I think both teams will go for the win, especially after the Germany game.

    Hungary could end up with 3 wins ... so could Switzerland though <laugh>

    The bookies have Switzerland as the clear favourites but to me it's close to a 50/50 (probably says more about my knowledge of these countries than the truth).

    I've a feeling Hungary want this more and will edge a good battle 2-1.

    A good, quick and correct VAR call. Unlike the shower of ****e in the PL.
