who's going to make the difference for you john mcginn obviously we're the underdogs going into that, i like to be optimistic that we might reach the knockouts, but realistically who knows. >> well lots of times we're playing against one of the top teams in the world. so if we can get a draw, it be a good result. >> so yeah, a bit of a mixed reaction there from the people on the street. noah thinks it's going to be one nil scotland. no, i think scotland are going to win. of course you said it martin 1999. when he got to go back to when scotland last beat germany. but the hosts know that the pressure is on their shoulders, their fans expect them to possibly go on and win this major tournament. of course , it was 2014 when they last won a major tournament with the world cup, so the pressure is on germany. scotland got nothing to lose. we could well see an upset later on tonight. >> yeah. jack carson i think a fan behind you there was saying it could be one nil to scotland as well. apologies for the hand sign he gave. you know a little noah there, four years old. jack, i remember when i

he may be the comedian of the squad, but superjohn mcginn's skills are nojoke.here are some players missing from this squad through injury, so there are a few new—ish faces here. it wasn't the easiest camp. i suspect one or two, we ended up with three maybe four. come on, that's not fair. we are over it. we are here. i've got other bodies that i want and this is what we want within the tournament. bristol city's tommy conway has been called up from the under 21s, and lewis morgan who last played for scotland six years ago has been recalled. he's travelled from the mls in america. it looked a little bit light up top, so there is no surprise that we brought in somebody who can maybe be a little bit wide, more of a creative type player. so lewis has been called in. steve has probably done the right thing. a mountain backdrop with chilly weather, familiar surroundings to help the team settle in. the faces in the squad might change, but the scotland spirit remains consistent. jane dougall, bbc news, garmisch—partenkirchen. the youngest member of the england squad is
