Scotland 1-1 Switzerland: Reaction and Analysis Scotland held Switzerland to a hard-fought 1-1 draw in their opening match of Euro 2024. After falling behind to an early goal from Haris Seferovic, Scotland rallied and equalized through a stunning free-kick from Kieran Tierney. The result was a mixed bag for Scotland. On the one hand, they showed great resilience and determination to come back from a goal down. On the other hand, they will be disappointed not to have secured all three points against a Swiss side who were far from their best. Scotland manager Steve Clarke praised his team’s performance, saying: “I’m proud of the players. They showed great character and spirit to come back from a goal down and get a result.” The draw leaves Scotland in third place in Group E, behind Spain and the Czech Republic. They will need to beat the Czech Republic in their next match to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages alive. England-Denmark Preview Scotland’s next match is against England, their bitter rivals. The two teams have a long history of clashes, and this match is sure to be no different. England will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw with the United States in their opening match. Coach Gareth Southgate is likely to make some changes to his team, with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford pushing for starting roles. Denmark, meanwhile, will be confident after their impressive victory over France. Christian Eriksen was the star of the show, and he will be looking to continue his fine form against England. This is a match that could go either way. England have the quality to win, but Denmark will be no pushovers. It should be a fascinating clash.Singapore’s labor market expanded in Q1 2024, driven by resident employment growth.Singapore’s labor market expanded in Q1 2024, driven by resident employment growth.
