Euro 2016: 5 reasons it has the potential to be the best edition yet

5) No firm favourites to win the tournament

Can Germany take the crown from Spain?

Fans need incentives to follow a tournament. The fact that even renowned football pundits across the globe are unwilling to point their finger towards a single nation to win this edition of the European Championships is the perfect reason for football lovers to keep themselves engaged in each and every ongoing of the tournament, rather than making just one or two nations the focal point.

The unpredictability of the team which will go on to lift the trophy on July 10 is what is required to make it a memorable tournament.

It could be France, with their vociferous home support. Or it could be Germany, with their ruthlessness in the attacking third. It might even be defending champions Spain, with the tactically superb players they possess.

Belgium’s golden generation of players could also have the ammunition to make it to the summit clash. Wales are definitely the dark horses, with a couple of world-class individuals in their ranks. The football can’t come soon enough.
