After Euro 2020’s delay, as well as the tournament being spread over 11 host countries and played under Covid restrictions, this year’s tournament has seen a return to a single host country and full stadiums. Forget the football, the real action in Germany – the displays of passion, loyalty, humour and, yes, despair – truly belongs to the supporters from 24 nations who are making this tournament a worthy celebration of the game. There were fears that Turkey’s opening game against Georgia would be called off due to an epic biblical storm with water cascading off the stadium’s roof in Dortmund. More dancing in Dortmund, this time outside the BVB Stadion before Albania’s game against Italy. England, Euro 2020’s beaten finalists, faced Serbia in their opening match, and following the completed dissolution of Yugoslavia in 2006, this is the Eagles’ first appearance at a European Championship. It has been 26 years since Scotland have appeared in a tournament on the European mainland, which means the Tartan Army are out in force and making the most of their time over in Germany, with the refrain “No Scotland, no party” becoming their catchphrase.
