Nearly half of these will be bought during the game with the Czech Republic

Scots are expected to be extra thirsty tomorrow and buy 800,000 pints when when the national team plays their first game in a major tournament for over 20 years.
Around 360,000 are expected to be sold during the match with the Czech Republic.
Colin Wilkinson from the Scottish Beer and Pub Association said: "This figure is very welcome given that pubs have been closed for 65% of the last year.
"If Scotland do well I hope that figure may even be a bit larger.
"The Euros will be an opportunity for places to get back on their feet, but it is not the be all and end all because it will take some time for the industry to get back to where it was before the pandemic."
He tells us that he doesn't understand why hospitality venues still have to close earlier than they did before coronavirus when up to 6,000 fans a day will be able to watch matches at Glasgow Green.
Colin added: "If games go into extra time or penalties then we could be faced with the ridiculous situation where we have to ask customers to leave before a game finishes."
