Soccer fans around the world are gearing up for Friday’s start of the 2020 Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) European Championships, also known as the UEFA Euro Cup.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be played in June and July of last year but rescheduled because of the pandemic.

Fans and analysts are submitting tournament brackets, and Farms.com is no different.

Farms.com will determine the group and knockout stage winners using available ag data.

Countries where agriculture is a higher percentage of its overall GDP will move onto the second round of the tournament and so on.

Earlier in the week, Farms.com looked at Groups A, B and C.

This article will focus on Groups D, E and F.
