Yeah, playing in Germany could flip the usual Spain vs France prediction, even if most people don't wanna admit it. Like, both teams are totally used to playing in their home stadiums with their own fans losing their minds for them, but now they're stuck in Germany with a more neutral crowd and a different vibe.

Personally, I think stuff like travel, different food, and just being in a new place can actually throw players off. I remember when my team played an away game in another city, everything felt weird, like we were always chasing the game instead of controlling it. That’s gotta be way more intense at a big stage like this. Plus, I’ve heard German stadiums get pretty loud no matter who’s playing, so neither team really gets a massive boost. The field, the weather, and even stuff like the hotel food can make little differences that add up and mess with what everyone expects.

So, if anyone’s making a super confident Spain vs France prediction, I wouldn’t fully trust it until you see how both sides look warming up in that stadium. Neutral ground just shakes up the whole script sometimes!
