Andy Robertson pleased with better Scotland showing
Scotland is close to making history at Euro 2024 as they prepare to take on Hungary in their last group match in Group A.

Hungary, currently in last place in Group A without any points, understand that a victory would give them a small possibility of advancing to the next stage, even after suffering tough losses to Switzerland and to the host country Germany.
Therefore, with both teams aware that only a victory will suffice, anticipate an exciting match in Stuttgart as both teams try to secure their spot in the final 16 at Euro 2024.
Stay tuned for all the live updates and score from the Scotland vs. Hungary match. Also, don't miss out on the highlights and reactions from the Germany vs. Switzerland game in Group A.
Scotland-Hungary Euro 2024 Build-up
John McGinn shared that there is a difference in sports preferences within his family before Scotland's important Euro 2024 match against Hungary in Stuttgart this Sunday, as reported by Ronnie Esplin.
The Aston Villa player has a family connection to Hungary, which adds an interesting twist to the upcoming Group A match. A victory for Steve Clarke's team could potentially lead them to the next phase of a significant competition for the first time.
In a talk in Stuttgart, McGinn mentioned that his uncle Joe and his younger cousins Mark and Tamas reside in Hungary. Despite being born in Scotland, the boys are of Hungarian descent.
My uncle Joe mentioned today that he hopes young Tamas will be disappointed tomorrow night because one of them is cheering for Scotland to win while the other is rooting for Hungary.
"They are big fans of mine, and it's great that we share the same last name. However, some of the boys at their school don't believe our relation. When they came over for the Liverpool game, they were more excited about (Dominik) Szoboszlai than their own cousin."
"It's a nice addition to have the game tomorrow, but our main priority is making it through successfully."

Lukaku And De Bruyne Show Both Sides Of Belgium In Crucial Win
Romelu Lukaku faced away from the goal and the loud group of fans wearing red. A cloud of red smoke emerged from the crowd and rose towards the stadium ceiling. It seemed like a sign to Romania, but they didn't have a chance to react as the game had only just begun.
Lukaku, who is frequently criticized for his performances with Belgium, successfully held off Andrei Burca and gently passed the ball to Youri Tielemans. The midfielder then took control, sending the ball quickly and powerfully past Florin Nita.
Belgium has had a rough time in football over the past ten years, but they had a great start in Cologne. At first, there was worry for Domenico Tedesco's team after a surprising 1-0 loss to Slovakia. However, they ended the week on a positive note with a 2-0 win. Now, all four teams in Group E have three points, with Belgium leading on goal difference.

Scotland And Hungary Prep For Euro 2024
Scotland coach Steve Clarke is wary of the danger Hungary poses, as they must secure a victory in order to advance to the round of 16.
"Over the last few years, they have been working towards this moment," Clarke remarked. "They have a skilled coach, a well-structured team, strong defensive discipline, and a dangerous offensive strategy."
They have skilled players, but we aim to shut them down. We anticipate a tough match, and I'm sure the Hungarians are bracing themselves for a challenging game against us as well.
We are two teams that are alike in many ways, with similar line-ups and playing styles. We hope that our system is just a bit better than theirs.

Is Ronaldo's Circus Damaging Portugal's Euros 2024 Chances?
While one man captures the spotlight in the circus, a determined team quietly goes about their business of securing victories on the football field. Could this be the narrative of Portugal's journey at Euro 2024?
It could be a symbol of a fresh team dynamic that Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball instead of scoring a goal when he had the opportunity. This wasn't the only time he showed his old skills. He also surprised everyone by using a step-over move to pass a defender, a move he hasn't done in many years.
Nevertheless, these contributions were mostly on the outskirts of the game, which had already been dominated by the more impactful modern players of the Selecao. However, there is no denying the standout performance of Roberto Martinez's team.
"There is no doubt that Erling Haaland is causing a stir in the football world. The young Norwegian striker has been in scintillating form for Borussia Dortmund, scoring goals left, right and center. His performances have caught the eye of the footballing world, and everyone is wondering just how far he can go. Haaland's rise to prominence has been nothing short of meteoric. From seemingly out of nowhere, he has become one of the hottest properties in European football. His ability to find the back of the net with ease has made him a fan favorite at Dortmund, and he has already been linked with a move to some of the biggest clubs in the world. It will be interesting to see how Haaland's career unfolds in the coming years. Will he continue his meteoric rise and become one of the best strikers in the world, or will he struggle to live up to the hype? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Erling Haaland is a name that we will be hearing a lot more of in the future."

Scotland Vs Hungary: Euro 2024 Update
Scotland coach Steve Clarke is eager to show the Tartan Army that their support means everything to the team as they strive to make a remarkable run to the knockout stages of Euro 2024.
The entire tournament is a special event for Scotland. This is their first major international tournament since 1998. I remember being a player back then, it feels like it was ages ago.
The fans at the venue are clearly having a great time, and I'm sure the five million viewers at home are equally captivated by the tournament. It's not just this match that's exciting, but all the games in general.
We understand that winning the game is crucial for us to advance to the next round, and that is our main goal. Our only focus is on earning three points in the match.
"We have to win the next match to secure at least a third place in the group, and then we can assess our position in the competition."

Scotland And Hungary: Euro 2024 Build-up
Now comes the tough challenge. Scotland still needs to win, as they have only won once in 11 tries against Gibraltar. However, their determined performance against Switzerland has brought back hope and shown the true Scotland team after a rough period of poor form since qualifying.
Clarke's team showed their true form once more, with John McGinn leading Scotland's aggressive play. In just a few minutes against Switzerland, McGinn made a strong challenge and then quickly chased after Andy Robertson's throw-in along the side to earn a corner kick. The Scottish fans went wild with excitement.
However, Scotland requires additional efforts in order to defeat Hungary. Despite having a stellar season with Aston Villa in the Premier League, "Super John McGinn", the player whom the Tartan Army idolizes, has disappointed in Euro 2024.
People have been singing praises for Scotland's No. 7 in various public places in Germany during the Euros, but unfortunately McGinn hasn't made much of an impact in the games.
The attacking midfielder has more to offer than just hard work and hustle, but two lackluster performances with the ball have prevented him from demonstrating his true abilities, like his skill in maneuvering and controlling the ball under pressure. Scotland's main player has been easily neutralized. McGinn was limited to only 20 touches in each of Scotland's first two matches against Germany and Switzerland, and the 29-year-old only completed six passes against the Swiss.

Euro 2024 Build-up: Scotland Vs Hungary
Steve Clarke discusses Scotland's preparations for a crucial match against Hungary.
"Players have had plenty of time to recuperate and relax, as well as receive helpful guidance," he expressed. "Our training session earlier was very productive, and now it's up to the players to apply that information on the field. Hopefully, the results will speak for themselves."
The team has gained a significant amount of experience. By consistently qualifying for tournaments, you become more familiar with the process. I believe we have made improvements this time around compared to our performance at Euro 2020.
I hope that when we reach the final game, our skills will speak for themselves. Our goal is to perform well in tomorrow's match by showcasing our strengths. If we do that, we have a good shot at success.

Scotland And Hungary Prepare For Euro 2024
This time, it's all about history. Euro 2024 kicked off with Graeme Souness criticizing the lack of skill in a Scotland team that seemed to be struggling. Scotland might finish Euro 2024 making a breakthrough that Souness and the talented group led by himself and Kenny Dalglish never could: reaching the knockout stage of an international competition for the first time. Even before the tournament started, Scotland and coach Steve Clarke would have been happy to be in the current position they are in: if they defeat Hungary in Stuttgart on Sunday, they will reach the crucial four-point mark needed to secure a spot in the last-16.
In the initial rounds of the 24-team Euros, there seems to be a clear distinction between the top teams and the underdogs. Teams like France and England are effortlessly progressing, while lesser-known nations like Slovakia, Romania, Turkey, and Albania are making their mark with unexpected victories. Meanwhile, Scotland's players have a unique opportunity to make history with just one win. This has been their objective ever since they arrived in Germany nearly two weeks ago.

Euro 2024 Build-up: Scotland Vs Hungary
Steve Clarke is optimistic that valuable insights have been gained leading up to Scotland's important Group A match against Hungary in Stuttgart at Euro 2024, as reported by Ronnie Esplin.
The Scottish team has only earned one point so far in their initial two games against Germany and Switzerland. However, a victory over Hungary would likely secure Scotland’s spot in the next round of a major tournament for the very first time.
Clarke and his team found themselves in a similar position during the postponed Euro 2020 tournament. Despite losing to the Czech Republic and tying with England, they were unable to come out on top in their last match, losing 3-1 to Croatia at Hampden Park.
Still, the Scotland manager is confident that he and his team have made good use of the time that has passed.
"We are happy," Clarke stated. "We were anticipating that the outcome would be determined by our performance in the last match of the group stage. We have encountered this situation in the previous tournament, but we aim to demonstrate that we have gained valuable insights and improved since then."

Preview Of Scotland Vs Hungary In Euro 2024
Euro 2024 is entering the final phase of the group stage, where teams will battle it out to secure a spot in the knockout round. Along with the top two teams from each of the six groups, the four best third-placed teams will also advance to the last-16. Unfortunately, the remaining eight nations will be eliminated from the tournament.
Leading off is Group A, where Scotland is aiming to secure a spot in the next round of an international competition for the very first time as they take on Hungary. Scotland suffered a heavy defeat against Germany in their first match but then rebounded with a win against Switzerland. A win against Hungary in Stuttgart is crucial for their qualification hopes, although they may still have to wait nervously even if they do manage to secure the three points needed.
In the last two European Championship tournaments with 24 teams, teams with four points have always made it to the knockout stage as a third-placed team. Sometimes, three points have been enough, but it's not a sure thing. However, having only two points was not good enough to advance at Euro 2016 or Euro 2020. There might be a chance for teams with two points to qualify at Euro 2024.
Get ready for some exciting games in the final round of matches at Euro 2024. The teams will be playing at the same time over the next few nights, so expect plenty of surprises. Let's take a look at how the groups are shaping up, what each team needs to do to advance, and how the third-placed teams are currently ranked.
