The "Krone" attended the Scottish party surrounding the 1:1 draw against Switzerland at the European Championships in Cologne and experienced the drinking and helpfulness of the thousands of fans. Now Stuttgart is calling the kilt wearers to the last group game against Hungary on Sunday.

After Munich, the city of Cologne also officially thanked the Scots, whose fans - the "Tartan Army" - had also left a lasting impression in the cathedral city. There are said to have been 80,000 of them, twice as many during the EURO in Germany. The "Krone" was present at the 1:1 against Switzerland and experienced why the "Bravehearts" are loved around the world, almost celebrated as "ambassadors of soccer".
