The Germans left it late but got the result they needed — barely. For 90 minutes it looked like the host nations at EURO 2024 were going to go down to Switzerland in a not-quite-meaningless final group stage game — in a move that would have swiveled them away from a collision course with Spain...

Match Awards from Germany’s tepid draw against Switzerland

Jersey Swap: Fabian Schär The Newcastle defender stayed the full 90 minutes, and definitely put in the work to show for it. He was constantly put to the test by Germany’s (struggling) attack, and never failed to answer. Schär was close to perfect for Switzerland tonight, and it showed. Minus Niclas Füllkrug’s last minute goal,...

PLAYER RATINGS: Which Premier League star shone in Germany’s clash against Switzerland? Which defender looked shaky? And who could prove to be the breakout star of Euro 2024?

Switzerland 1-1 Germany: Niclas Fullkrug rescues top spot in Group A for Euro 2024 hosts with stoppage time goal cancelling out Dan Ndoye’s brilliant first-half strike

The trains are no longer to be relied upon in Germany. It has been the most surprising element of Euro 2024 for anybody who basked in the smooth operation of the World Cup finals 18 years ago, and it has ruined a well-worn national stereotype. For more 90 minutes in Frankfurt, Julian Nagelsmann‘s team, such...

Switzerland 1-1 Germany: Initial reactions and observations

Initial reactions and observations Germany just about scraped by there. Julian Nagelsmann was on the verge of his entire project being called a false dawn. Thankfully, Niclas Füllkrug saved the Germans some blushes after coming on. Nagelsmann’s distaste for true strikers — a quality he also showed at Bayern Munich — nearly came back to...
