I don't believe, but want a surprise!

The 17th edition of the quadrennial soccer tournament starts today when host country Germany faces Scotland in the first of 51 matches to determine European supremacy(Germany just won 5:1). Apart from the hosts, the favorites include England, France, Portugal, Spain, and defending champs Italy. The pressure is heavy on England, which has never won the Euros and hasn’t won a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup. Ukraine, meanwhile, will likely be a fan favorite in the competition as the country defends itself from Russia’s invasion. The monthlong tournament could give a fleeting boost to Germany’s economy: The country expects to sell 2.7 million tickets and earn $4 billion in additional tourism sales.
