Football News Update: Euro 2024, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and More
In the latest football news, the Scotland national team is preparing for a crucial match against Switzerland in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The Scots, who faced a 2-0 defeat against Germany in their previous outing, will look to bounce back and keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
The Scotland manager, Steve Clarke, remains confident in his team’s ability to qualify, but admitted they will need a minimum of four points from their remaining group games. The Scots will face Switzerland, who defeated Hungary 3-1 on Saturday, in Cologne before finishing their group campaign against the Hungarians on 23 June in Stuttgart.
“We will need a minimum of four points from the remaining games to have a chance of qualifying,” said Clarke.
Clarke acknowledged the team’s struggles in the loss against Germany, which was compounded by Ryan Porteous’ first-half red card for a dangerous tackle on Germany captain Ilkay Gundogan. However, the manager backed the Watford center-half, who will miss the Switzerland game through suspension, stating that it was an “honest challenge” to try to stop a clear goalscoring opportunity.
