Host nation Germany are riding a resurgent wave of hope with the Euro 2024 tournament opener against Scotland just days away. After two group stage World Cup exits in a row and a loss to England in the last 16 of the Euros in 2021, Germany suffered a dire 2023, with just three wins in 11 games. Many in Germany predicted an embarrassing early exit for the three-time Euros champions on home soil. That view has changed in the four months. While Germany may only have drawn 0-0 with Ukraine in Nuremberg on Monday, they spurned chances, particularly during a dominant second-half.
