Tonight in Gelsenkirchen, England will play Serbia in the opening match of their Euro 2024 campaign. They will next play Denmark and Slovenia.
The Three Lions, led by Gareth Southgate, are among the favourites to win the trophy in one month. The manager has a wealth of attacking options at his disposal following successful seasons for their clubs by Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, and Cole Palmer.
However, they will begin Group C against a Serbian team that has a wealth of quality, including striker Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus, duo Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic of Al Hilal, and Dusan Tadic, the No. 10 for Fenerbahce.
England will start Euro 2024 in Group C and will need to make their way through a schedule that appears manageable on paper, with Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia awaiting them.
Things should get harder from there, but if England wins Group C, they’ll face the third-place qualifier from Group D, E, or F in the round of sixteen, followed by a quarterfinal matchup with Germany, Spain, or Italy. If they win it, glory would be just two victories away.
In the same competition three years prior, England heartbreakingly lost on penalties in the Wembley Stadium final to Italy, who went on to win the trophy.
Gareth Southgate’s team will be aiming to win their first significant men’s trophy since the World Cup in 1966 this time around.
England has abandoned their winning formula for Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate’s largest ever risk
Gareth Southgate has been anxious to make sure that England’s array of new attackers are fully conversant with some of the team’s practiced moves during the final few practices before Euro 2024. The lines are still a little fuzzy, but he can see the entire scene. Although it is early in the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, this team shows promise. Considering Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, how could it not be promising? Southgate is remarkably animated.
Attackers that do these “automatisms,” in which they execute movements without thinking because they have practiced them so much, are an example of how preparation can reveal a lot about a whole. England has been approaching the line in a comparable manner.
For a considerable time, Euro 2024 was seen as one of the competitions where the St George’s Park project as a whole was expected to bring home a trophy.
There’s a sense of conclusion because this could be Southgate’s final season. England’s tight defeat to France in the 2022 World Cup quarterfinal appeared to indicate the necessary last step even in the previous tournament.
It is assumed that if you defeat Kylian Mbappe’s team, who is regarded as the finest in Europe, you will win the championship.
But now that we’re so near to the boundary, everything is a little hazy.
The Three Lions have been getting better over the past few tournaments, but they’re going in a different direction in Germany.
