The England national team is participating in Road to the EURO 2024 finals with a highly-rated squad, along with the determination to win the championship on German soil.
Some information about the England national team:
– FIFA Ranking: 3.
– Head Coach: Gareth Southgate.
– Notable achievements: Runner-up in Euro 2020, World Cup champions in 1966.
– Number of Euro appearances: 10 times.
– Key players: Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, etc.
In major tournaments, the England national team is always considered one of the top contenders for the championship. With a tradition of loving football and a well-structured training system, England proudly hosts one of the most exciting national leagues in the world, the Premier League.
The England national team continues to be regarded as a championship contender at Euro 2024.
However, the performances of the Three Lions in major tournaments have often told a different story. In reality, the team from the land of mist has only won the World Cup once, in 1966 on home soil. Their number of Euro championships still stands at a big zero.
The high expectations from fans and pressure from the media are among the reasons why the England national team, despite always having a generation of talented players, has not been able to meet the expectations of their supporters.
However, the Three Lions came very close to winning the Euro 2020 championship, reaching the final and only losing to Italy in a penalty shootout. This shows the championship potential as the players are gradually improving their resilience at crucial moments.
In this year’s Euro qualifiers, the England national team, with a star-studded squad and the mentality of a highly-rated team, did not face too much difficulty in finishing first. This significantly helps coach Southgate’s team have an advantage in the group stage draw, where they are grouped with three teams considered weaker: Slovenia, Denmark, and Serbia.
Therefore, if they perform at their true level, the England Lions can easily finish the group stage in first place and then think about winning the championship.
