Can’t believe we overlooked Ronnie MacKinnon, Prince of centre halves. Not the physical giant that Geordie Young was nor did he appear granite-hard like Willie Woodburn but nobody ran through him. Here he is follow-following his captain.

Forza Italia! 🇮🇹

Maybe you’re not wrong. I’ll have to think about it. It will be quite some time before I make up my mind.

Why on earth his legs collapse infront of an open goal from minimal contact I'll never know. It's an indictment of the mentality and physicality of today's game. Looked for a red, didn't get it and missed the pen. Fucking glad he did too.

When you call @Franc Ergs's start disastrous, only for him to overtake you after the very next game...

There's definitely been a 00's inspired stylistic choice with the kits at this tournament. Hungary's made me think so and so does this Spanish get up with the trims. I always thought kits in the 00's were universally hated. Even for us there were some ugly shirts from Diadora and Umbro.

Croatia have ruined their kit.

I'll let fly with an opinion I've had for awhile... Modric is the better player overall and has a bigger Madrid legacy than Zidane. Zidane wouldn't get in my top 10 oat. He was aesthetically great to watch of course but I find it baffling that people think he's one of the greatest to do it. I'll go one further and say Del Piero had the better year in '98 when he won the Balon D'Or too. Feel free to slaughter me.

They were poor in the first half, but they were much better in the second and could have equalised.

The amount of teams that have come into the tournament on an unbeaten streak probably speaks to how forgiving the qualification process is, or just intl football in general. It's why I think the nations league is a really good concept because it will find you out regardless of level. As we (England) found out getting relegated.

Looks like confirmation that their qualifying group was weak! Looks like they are the team to beat for Scotland as i can see the Swiss turning us over.

Agreed. Scotland would have hoped for a draw I presume. Switzerland were decent and kept the ball well with good rotation. I struggle to see Scotland causing them any issues to be honest. There is zero pace and guile in the Scotland team. PS. Tierney celebrating a tackle after 4 minutes last night was embarrassing.

That was a good game. Spain-Croatia up next.

The Magyars have pulled a goal back

It looks like we are looking at a high scoring tournament.

The Hungarians were supposed to be dark horses, but they've not turned up. The perennially overlooked Swiss are just quietly effective.

A very decent first half from the Swiss

I'll get my coat

I’m sure there’s more deserving people than a couple of ex footballers who deserve an award .

A good player sadly missed
