Germany 2-1 Scotland: Win was in sight, says Strachan
Gordon Strachan believed his Scotland side were going to beat the world champions before Germany claimed a 2-1 win in Dortmund. Thomas Muller's first-half header was cancelled out by Ikechi Anya's strike in the Euro 2016 qualifying opener. But Muller netted his second from a poorly defended corner to secure victory for Joachim Low's side.
Media conference - Scotland coach Gordon Strachan "At 1-1, I genuinely believed we were going to win the game," said Strachan. "I saw players playing with no fear."

They weren't even that good in the World Cup, to be honest there is hardly any good players in the side apart from Ronaldo and a few others, but I can't even pin them.

they have a hugely experienced and costly team
Pepe CB - Real Madrid 30 million euros Bruno Alves CB - Porto/Zenit/Fenerbahçe 22 million euros when he joined Zenit in 2010 Fábio Coentrão LB - Real Madrid 30 million euros João Pereira RB - Valencia 3.6 million euros Danny MF - Zenit 30 million euros João Moutinho MF - Monaco 25 million euros Raul Meireles MF - Liverpool (£11.5m), Chelsea (12m), Fenebache (8m) Nani MF - Man u (on loan at Sporting) 25 million euros Ronaldo MF - Real Madrid €94 million euros ST they have nobody of any real value Eder? I think is their striker now
but the rest of the team cost 273m to assemble!

People are forgetting that aside from Brazil and Portugal, all of Germany's opponents gave them tight games in the world cup.

Welbeck somehow contrived to fail to find either Sterling or Rooney with that pass. Poor.

Would be nice to actually score a goal, for 3 points, but I can't even see one coming, its been a bit of a mis-match so far. Had a few chances in the first half but nothing on target.
