Scotland reaction after Euro 2024 humbling by Germany
Scots ‘panicked’ with first-game nervespublished at 14:09
Former England defender Micah Richards thinks Scotland “were panicking” against Germany and suggests first-game tournament nerves got the better of them.
“It was always going to be difficult against
the host nation, Germany, and the players that they have now,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. “Before the game, I
think everyone was expecting Germany to turn up.
“I think they took their moments really well, but the way Scotland set up – they were too deep, they didn’t have a plan B – and Germany capitalised on their mistakes every chance they got.
“From a Scotland’s point of view, it’s not
going to get any worse than that. I expected them to do better than that.
“Every time they got out, they rushed it. They didn’t have that composure, but that’s to be
expected. First game was always going to be nerves.”
