The group stage of the tournament, which features 24 teams, is taking place in four different countries. The top four teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage in Riga, Latvia, from September 6th to 14th.This is a normal workday for him. I am even happier that today we have shown that we can play good defense and that we won.
