Disappointment Of Liverpool Stars When Scotland Did Not Escape The Fall Phase Of Euro 2024
JAKARTA - Scotland will certainly fall in the group stage of Euro 2024 after losing to Hungary on Monday, June 24, 2024.
They only earned one point from three matches and lived the bottom of Group A.
Liverpool star who is also the Scottish captain, Andrew Robertson, could not hide his disappointment.
"To be honest there's nothing to say, we've given everything. Both teams have to win. We have chances, but that's football, that's how it is," Robertson said after the Scotland vs Hungary match.

The 30-year-old admitted meeting Scotland vs Hungary was a life-to-life game. Scotland have tried their best to take the lead, but their efforts failed.
At the end of the match, precisely the 90+10 minute, Scotland was hit hard by a Hungarian goal, Kevin Csoboth.
The only goal became Hungary's winning goal which opened the door to the knockout stages of Euro 2024 through the best third-placed path.
"It took a long time to overcome this. We had a lot of possession in the first half without doing anything, we were able to control it."
"We have to find that lead and try even harder. We were eyeing it, but we were hit hard. The draw won't be realistic enough."
"We have to deal with this, it's hard, very devastating, nothing can be done. It's up to us to take what kind of game this is."
"What I'm going to say is thanks to this country. We feel like everyone supports us. We know the joy in our country, sorry for disappointing you," Robertson said again.
Similar disappointment also slid from Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn. However, he revealed that the Scottish team had given the best throughout the tournament for his country.
"It's hard to speak honestly. I think everyone is giving their best. Goals are ultimately happening. I think the effort we're giving today shows fans and the country how much it means to us."
"They managed to counterattack at the end of the game. It was a bad blow because I thought we defended very well for most of the game," Gunn said.
Scotland became the second team to fail to the knockout stages of Euro 2024. Previously, Poland had already lifted its suitcase because it had always lost in two Group D matches.
Victory against France in the group's last match will not make Poland move from the bottom of the standings.
