Euro 2024 is finally here and it’s been a thrilling start to the tournament.
This summer’s proceedings in Germany kicked off on Friday night as the hosts hammered Scotland in the opening match, the first of 51 games over the next four weeks, which culminate in the Berlin final on July 14.
It’s all to play for. Germany were initially unfancied despite their home advantage, while defending champions Italy are not exactly on a great run of form since lifting the trophy at Wembley three years ago, having missed the World Cup once again.
France are expected to be a major force once more led by Kylian Mbappe, while Spain, Portugal, Croatia and the Netherlands can never be counted out at this level.
Of course, Gareth Southgate’s England are among the favourites having cruised through qualification and looked like serious contenders at the last three major tournaments. Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Co are all at the top of their games as the Three Lions look to end their 58-year wait for silverware.
A dark horse or two also tends to pop up at the Euros. Perhaps Turkey, Hungary and Ukraine are best placed to upset the odds this summer.
Once again, the 24-team tournament is split into six groups of four. The top two of each group qualify automatically for the last-16 and the four top-ranked third-placed finishers will join them.
