Teams to Pay Attention to
One team to watch is the tournamentโs defending champions, the Netherlands. Their first game of the tournament, on July 9, will be against another powerhouse, Swedenโthe current Olympic silver medal holders. Though they havenโt won the Euros in the last forty years, we know that this current Swedish team is not to be taken lightly.
Germany has taken this tournament eight times since the first tournament in 1984, breaking their six-time winning streak in the 2017 tournament. Germanyโs toughest competition in their group will likely be Spain, so you wonโt want to miss that match on July 12.
Seeing Northern Ireland in this tournament will be interesting because this is their first time qualifying for a major tournament. Be sure to tune into their Group A matches on July 7, 11, and 15.
There will undoubtedly be some upsets and surprises in this tournament, just like any other, so you donโt want to miss a game!
