    Don't own goals count in this bet?

    A mix of a terrible, badly selected, Scots 'team' and a very confident German team full of dangerous attackers .. i m o the sending off was a proper game changer despite the Scots being outclassed before the dismissal, BUT what was Porteous doing there in the first place with the experienced and much better Hanley on the bench ? ..
    I've backed Germany to win the tournament and this win even over a very poor Scotland side just reinforces my opinion

    I hadn't realised that Pablo Zabaleta was assistant manager for Albania, working under Sylvinho. Seems quite a random place to end up.

    Loic Nego on the bench for Hungary. I think he is around 34 now. Loads of caps.

    Germany are normally slow starters in tournaments even when they go far.
    They were definitely not a stable in form but TBF they hadn't played a competitive match for a long time.
    A good combo of youth and experience and at home may be contenders but let's see them against better opposition.

    Good quick use of VAR there.

    Extremely poor decision from the lino in the first place. No toenails there - it's not even close.

    Christ, shocking defending from Hungary, really should be 2-0

    Can't tell if Hungary are really poor, but Switzerland knocking it around very nicely

    It looked a terrible decision as even to the naked eye it looked on side. Won't get into the VAR debate but good to see the quick decision by MR AI.

    Fancied Hungary before the match but they look poor.

    2-0 was pretty fair for that half.

    My twitter timeline is full of Americans complaining that they can't find the game on FOX.

    Apparently Fox have the rights to Euro 2024 and just haven't bothered airing Switzerland vs Hungary.

    An impressive first half from the Swiss. They have made Hungary look bovine.

    Fox's twitter account is posting highlights from the game, and people are just replying with pictures of fish

    Hungary should be 2-2 now but at least they have 1 back. The Swiss guilty of sitting on their 2-0 lead.
    The form team Hungary have turned up in the 2nd half.

    They’ve given the rights of five group games to Fubo - an internet streaming online service.

    But they've been advertising themselves as the home of Euro 2024!

    The Swiss have a good few players who have been playing at a very good level this season, those of Bologna, alongside players like Xhaka, Schar and Akjani make them a decent side.

    I think the ref has had a lot to do with that.

    Agree it’s very poor of them.

    Fubo is not cheap - this isn’t a $5 subscription, it’s $80 and includes an entire TV package that no one who’s signing up for the Euros is interested in.

    Chuks Embolo seals it for Switzerland.

    2 games 10 goals, fingers crossed it carries on like this

    Good game, and both games I think the officiating ( when you include the VAR input) has been impeccable. That includes the time-keeping. Not once did I think “where did they get that from?” And right at the end today the ref held up his two fingers to indicate the extra time he’d added on after the goal.
