World media reacts as Scotland cause a football icon to froth with fury

Yep, us neither. But the Argentina and Tottenham legend was simply furious at both ourselves and Group A rivals Switzerland in the wake of, what everyone else thought, was a cracking game in Cologne. But not Ossie, oh no, he claims it is one of the worst games he witnessed and slammed pundits who were bigging it up. In an angry blast, he said: "Scotland vs Switzerland. What a terrible, terrible game it was. How can two teams play so badly? No ideas going forward.

Blick There were platitudes – both genuine and mocking – from our friends in Switzerland. They stated: "Thank you, Anthony Ralston. And: Thank you, Xherdan Shaqiri! Ralston's disastrous back pass became the perfect pass for Shaqiri. The 32-year-old's dream shot from 18 meters hits the crossbar perfectly. An unstoppable stroke of genius. Scottish defender Ralston plays a pass into the centre that would have earned the boot from even a junior team.

Bild The German outlet talked about both teams. They stated: "Scotland is still in the race thanks to the point and could also book their ticket at the end with a win against Hungary. After an evenly matched first half, both sides had their good phases in the second half. The best Swiss chance fell to Ndoye, who pushed the ball past the goal from 17 meters. Hanley came close to scoring the winner for the Scots, but his header only hit the post.

Gazetta dello Sport "Nobody wins, but perhaps nobody regrets it that much. Switzerland does not do so, which remains the second force in group A and is destined to remain so, barring incredible results. Ultimately, neither does Scotland, who remain absolutely in the running to qualify for the round of 16 at least among the best third-placed teams, playing it all against Hungary.
