Germany – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Bundesteam”, after prolonged failures, both under the leadership of Flick and Nagelsmann, was able to begin to show something serious. The Germans achieved victories over strong opponents in March – a 2-0 score in France and a 2-1 success in the home struggle with the national team of the Netherlands.

Speaking about the summer training camp, Julian’s team didn’t look so bright. It was not possible, with all the advantage, to score in the game against Ukraine in Nuremberg – as a result, there happened a 0-0 score. And the Greeks were put to the pressure with a goal scored by Gross in the 89th minute of the game.

Scotland – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Tartan Army” won the qualification for the Euro ahead of schedule. Then, it even beat Spain in the first part of last year. Still, there were first 3 defeats, and then a couple of effective draws, in the struggles with Georgia and Norway, starting from September.

Steve Clark’s wards didn’t improve the performance much in 2024 either. They were able to finally win, but that happened in the confrontation with modest Gibraltar in June, where the team was limited to a 2-0 score. There had been dry defeats made by Netherlands (0-4) and even Northern Ireland (0-1) before this, in March. And finally, in Glasgow, the two-goal advantage was lost – that battle with Finland brought only a draw.
