As the big kickoff approaches, Julian Nagelsmann will be happy with his team’s performance as expectations build. But with Hungary, Scotland, and astute Switzerland up front, Germany will be put to the test brutally in the group stage.
Considering Steve Clarke has lost so many important players to injury in recent weeks, Scotland will view a draw against Germany in this opening match as a huge victory. In Munich, the Tartan Army will be rejoicing at winning only their second major championship in the previous 26 years.
Clarke, though, wants Scotland to go past the group stage, unlike when they made a comeback to the big time at EURO 2020 and faltered there.
