Germany vs Argentina

If anything Germany will just be taking their anger out on Scotland.

At least wee Strachan will have a couple of decent jokes in the post-match interview.

Germany do this quite a lot in friendlies, when it comes to the crunch they're on another level.

Hopefully they don't underestimate Scotland though, Strachan has turned it around since taking over and there's a real risk here that Germany may not reach double figures on Sunday.

Was the same with Spain until recently. Pish in friendlies then would do the business when it matters.

I wouldn't assume Scotland will get thrashed. I checked the opening Euro qualfiiers of the teams who had just won the world cup for the last 46 years:

Liechenstein 1 Spain 4 (2010 world cup winners)

Italy 1 Lithuania 1 (2006 winners)

Iceland 1 France 1 (1998 winners)

Luxembourg 2 Germany 3 (1990 winners)

Italy 2 Czechoslovakia 2 (1982 winners)

Greece 2 Germany 2 (1974 winners)

Northern Ireland 0 England 2 (1966 winners - home championships doubled as qualifiers)

Not exactly a sparkling record.
