00:00I mean, you mentioned being a bit more worried about teams like France and Germany.

00:02We're obviously going to discuss a few of the other big-name teams that have got off the mark

00:06this weekend. But let's start with Germany, if only to get the pain of any Scottish viewers

00:10out of the way and done with. They look really impressive, didn't they, Nathan? That's a pretty

00:14ominous performance from the hosts. Oh, they were superb, weren't they? Obviously, they've gone

00:19through a bit of a little German football, but I think this is a young, exciting squad, and you

00:23could just see some of the quality and talent. I mean, even before that Scottish sending off,

00:28which, by the way, was the correct decision right on halftime, and then making it 3-0 with

00:32the penalty, I mean, Scotland were all over the place. But I think it was mainly due to

00:38Germany's dominance. Scotland were poor on the day, so it's difficult to judge, really,

00:43how good Germany were, because Scotland were so, so passive. I really expected them to really go

00:49for it in those first 10, 15 minutes, and at least put some pressure on and maybe have it

00:53pretty tight going into the second half. But yeah, they were just blown away. I thought

00:56Musiala was superb, and they're a pleasure to watch. They're going to be hard to beat,

01:00I think, on their home soil, and if England do end up playing them in the final, I mean,

01:06goodness me, that'll be an absolutely superb contest. I can't see either of these teams

01:10meeting until the final, expecting them to win their group. I expected them to go through.

01:13I predicted them into the final. I think Germany go through, and we'll probably face Portugal in

01:17the semis, maybe, and then maybe it's an England-Germany final. I think that's what I want.

01:21That's what quite a few other people wanted. Goodness me. There's no fear factor there with

01:25them, I think. They're ready to go. They're ready to attack. They control possession. Some of the

01:29balls that they produce, some of the clinical finishing, they are going to be hard to stop,

01:33like I say, especially on home turf. I just know any Scottish fans watching will be fuming at not

01:39only the 5-1 defeat, but then having to listen to some English panellists talk about England

01:43facing Germany in the final already. But, you know, why not get ahead of ourselves?

01:491-0 win over Serbia, surely. We're winning it. Come on, it's coming home.

01:52Oh, God, don't start that. You'll make Luka Modric upset again.
