We have less than a week before the commencement of the 16th edition of the UEFA European Championship, Euro 2020.

This summer’s tournament promises to be a highly exciting one with some really good teams competing.

There were doubts regarding the availability of spectators owing to the Covid-19 pandemic but it has been confirmed that fans will be present in all matches.

Just like in 2016, there are 24 nations that have been drawn into six groups of four teams each. Group F has three elite football powerhouses in world champions France, reigning champions Portugal and three-time winners Germany along with Hungary.

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the toughest group of the tournament, hence rightfully called, the “Group of Death”.

Hungary are in the kind of position Costa Rica were in the World Cup and it will truly be a miracle if they manage to get a single point from any of their three games.

Now, let’s take a detailed look at the teams in Group F.
