In the 70s and 80s he was wrong. We had similar/better players than England, Netherlands, France, Spain. They all thought they could/should be winning tournaments then.

I really believe that the Germans love it when they are called horrible before a tournament. The pressure is off. I saw Germany play against France and Musiala and Wirtz were really good. Scary good.

He makes himself sound silly whenever he talks. Period.

The 4-0 was in no way an accurate reflection on how that game went though. Scotland looked the better side for the vast majority of that game. Even Koeman thought so. Some of the football we were playing was unbelievable. We could and probably should have been 2 up at half time as the Dutch barely threatened and then out of nowhere they score a screamer. We didn't collapse after that. We immediately retook control of the game and should have scored another 3. Lack of a top quality striker is the only thing missing from that side. The Dutch got a sloppy 2nd goal in the 70th minute and then the defence just collapsed. Dutch smelled blood and scored 2 more quick goals. Thats the difference between Scotland and the top nations right now. We need to be more ruthless in front of goal. We do that, we should get out of the group.

Will be difficult for Scotland to get out the group imo, I'm scottish and think we will finish 3rd at best, I hope I am wrong but feel we don't have enough experience at international tournaments, as long as we keep qualifying and hopefully improve our team squad over the next decade or so.

Scotland going by current form will definitely not get out of the group. You don't have to be a genius in the odds to figure that out. Certainly going from history which means more than folk think scotland always completely bottle it at every tournament and will do so again. Scotland have qualified for many many tournaments in their history-you could literally only say one was a qualified success and that was Germany 1974. The rest of the many tournaments they've played at have been abject failures.

Mystic Meg and prophet Jordan aside, hope wales win and join us, 🇬🇧 go on the red dragons

I hoped Norway would have made it 2 superstars of Europe not in Germany Haaland and Odergard

You should probably watch the France Germany game that just happened. Germany is ALOT better now with Kroos running the midfield and Musiala and Florian Wirtz playmaking. Completely different team now and Scotland should be worried. Souness says he can’t name 2 stars on Germany’s squad? How about Wirtz and Musiala. This is what happens when people ONLY watch the Premier League. Now Simon is saying the Germans are rubbish? Rubbish comment come on now.

Hungary not in good shape? But 14games ago unbeaten.

Souness went on Bellingham who constantly got fouled by Paqueta & Brazil team because he didn't ride out the challenges in a friendly & risk a injury. Funny how Souness goes on Bellingham & not the many English stars who faked injuries for their clubs, including Harry Kane, Saka & so on.

Souness wants to clatter Simon as he just met a better wind-up merchant than himself. It's so dark 😜

Never right off Germany when it comes to tournament football. I think scotland will get out the group this time.

No we have already Fked it and the competition hasn't even started yet, and just to rub it in Germany are playing better than ever.

Scotland were better team!! Souness clearly didnt watch the game!! So annoying. Missed so many chances.. even Koeman admitted so. These two are so depressing, negative and clearly didnt watch the match. The most bizarre game of football.

By their Historical high standards the Germans have had a bad few years but this Summer especially on home soil I defo think they're worth a bet!!
