Scotland's Ryan Porteous Criticized for Dangerous Challenge

During the Euro 2024 opener, Scotland's Ryan Porteous received heavy criticism and a red card for a dangerous challenge on Germany's Ilkay Gundogan, with pundits like Ian Wright, Neil McCann, and Willie Miller condemning the tackle as appalling, emotional, and leg-threatening. The incident occurred as Germany led 2-0, leading to a penalty kick and Porteous being sent off. Despite Scotland's struggles against a dominant Germany, they face upcoming matches against Switzerland and Hungary in the group stage. Porteous, making his tournament debut, faced severe backlash for the tackle, marking a challenging start to Scotland's Euro 2024 campaign.
