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...

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...
