Group B looks like the group of death! Expect Albania to get smoked and exit with 0 points. That's a fairly easy looking group for England, but there problem as always will be how they navigate the knockout stage. I've seen quite a few people saying it's finally going to happen with this tournament but I think they'll fall short again. The most recent major tournaments have had the team in the best form in World or European football going into the tournament coming out of it with the trophy so closer to next summer will be when it will be clearer who is likely to win Euro 2024 I think.

Group D looks like death, difficult group, whoever is the play-off winner

 

Glad England didn't draw with Italy again, I think they have the easiest route, Denmark looks likely to be the runner up of the group.

Albania have shown some good play in the qualifiers, and Croatia/Italy have looked a little shaky, I'd say strongest group just based on recent form looks like Group A, D possibly but any group with France in it would look strong because of how good they are right now. Group F with Turkey and Portugal both on a good streak will likely be tough for Czechia and playoff 3 to do much with.

 

England should probably be fine but I wouldn't discount any of those teams in there with them.

 

Hard to look past France as eventual winner right now imo but still some months to go.

Still getting used to Czechia!

Laughable that we're the favourites tbh.

I know I can't see how we are favourites. I would make France the favourites.
