French
DeutschUEFA Euro 2020 Group F
Group F of UEFA Euro 2020 took place from 15 to 23 June 2021 in Budapest's Puskás Aréna and Munich's Allianz Arena.[1] The group contained host nations Hungary and Germany, defending champions Portugal and world champions France.
That combination of teams led to the group being referred to as a "group of death".[2][3] Despite Hungary being considered the weakest of the four, they kept a clean sheet for 84 minutes of their match against Portugal before losing 3–0, and led against France and twice against Germany before those matches finished as draws.[4]

Discipline
[edit]Fair play points were to be used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams were tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:[5]
- yellow card = 1 point
- red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
- direct red card = 3 points
- yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
