The German national team will play Scotland at Munich’s Allianz Arena in the opener of the month-long tournament.
The final is in Berlin on July 14 and Germany is even keener to get there after three straight fiascos at major tournaments that have forced its fans to readjust their expectations of the men’s national team.
A good first match and group stage would set off a new wave of excitement in Germany, even though scenes similar to when it brilliantly hosted the 2006 World Cup are hard to imagine in a changed political landscape.
While the Scots are out in droves proudly wearing their team jerseys, there is hardly a sighting of a German shirt or flag.
Political extremists are flourishing, anxiety pervades the country, and the national team has underperformed. It is understandable the home fans are going about their daily life in contrast to the partying visitors.
