Fans couldn’t help but chuckle at Scott McTominay’s performance during Scotland’s 1-1 draw against Switzerland in Euro 2024. The midfielder’s antics, likened to a “defender in Wii Sports basketball,” were spotted during the match, sparking amusement and questions about his role in set-pieces.
McTominay, who scored early with a deflected shot, was later seen awkwardly jumping to block a cross, an act that viewers found both funny and puzzling. One fan remarked, “Love McTominay jumping like a defender in Wii Sports Resort basketball getting pump faked.” Despite his unusual technique, some believed it was effective. A fan noted, “It worked. He made the guy pass the ball straight out the park.” However, confusion arose over why McTominay, known for his aerial prowess, was taking corners instead of being in the box.
One fan questioned, “Why is McTominay on corners over Gilmour or McGinn when he’s clearly your biggest goal threat?” Manager Steve Clarke’s strategy was labeled “one of the most baffling tactical choices I’ve ever seen.” Despite the quirks, Scotland can reach the group stages if they beat Hungary on Sunday.
