Day 1 | Germany vs Scotland

I maintain my belief that nobody has ever enjoyed an opening ceremony to any football event.
Everybody always expects it to be like the Olympic ceremony. It's like they always forget these are typically shit low-budget affairs.
 
Someone should teach Beckenbaur and Klinsman how to tie their ties properly. They look like they’ve been in the pub all day.
 
Flower of Scotland never fails to get my hairs standing on end. I’m usually anti-nationalist but when I see that anthem performed for our games I’m standing up with my hand on my heart.
 
Nothing like the feeling of being on the cusp of a new international tournament. Buzzing.
 
I recognise the referee. That usually means they’re really good or really crap and I never remember which.
 
Hate both kits.
Same. Our kit is too dark and Germany’s lacks black. They should have the national colours on their shirts, not their shorts (although I’m pretty sure they do have the national colours on their shirts for the first time since 2006 or 2008).
