BERLIN -- Here's a stat for you: Of the 24 teams competing at Euro 2024, just one, Spain, won all three group games. And here's another: Not a single team lost all three.

There's a level of parity and possibility at work here that makes major tournaments like Euro 2024 so appealing. Yeah, we come for the history, pride and the anthems, but we stick around for the uncertainty that marks most of the matches. In an age when super teams routinely stomp all over the have-nots in club football, the unpredictability of international football is a refreshing change of pace.
