What group will England be in EURO 2024?

England have been drawn into Group C for EURO 2024, together with Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia. Here’s a brief analysis on England’s opponents in the group stage:

Denmark

Denmark will arguably be England’s toughest opponents in the group. Boasting an array of talent, with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Kasper Schmeichel, and Simon Kjaer, securing three points will require a strong effort from England.

Serbia

Serbia enjoyed a fantastic qualifying campaign for EURO 2024, securing points in every game except versus Hungary. They overcame difficult challenges against the likes of Bulgaria and Montenegro, and ended up qualifying directly to the finals without the need for a play-off.

Slovenia

Slovenia will be another difficult opponent for England, who won’t have any easy games in this group. Beating sides such as Finland and Denmark, Slovenia rightfully earned their place in this summers’ tournament.

England’s Group 2024

As already stated, England will play in Group C at EURO 2024, where they will meet Denmark, Serbia, and Slovenia. Their games will be played in Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt, and Cologne.

England’s Preparation and Strategy of EURO 2024

England breezed past the qualifiers in Group C with a total of 20 points (W8, D2, L0), allowing them to finish top of Group C placing them in Pot 1 for the draw. A total of 22 goals and just four conceded throughout these games means that England could not be in a better position ahead of this tournament.

Stars like Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, and Harry Kane, who form part of England’s spine are all in hot-form for their clubs. This will give the squad and entire nation added belief that they can go all the way with this current crop of players.

However, Southgate’s capabilities to get over the line in finals has long been questioned by many, with serious doubts remaining on whether he is the man to get the best out of this golden generation of talent.

That said, England will have four friendlies before the tournament starts in order to prepare themselves tactically. These games will come against Brazil, Belgium, and Bosnia & Herzegovina respectively. Check out the full list of upcoming England fixtures on TV.

England’s Prospects and Expectations

Without any silverware since 1966, England supporters are desperate to witness glory this summer. The current England squad is star-studded, to say the least. This means that expectations will be at an all-time high, and nothing aside from a Euros victory will satisfy those expectations.

The Three Lions certainly have the resources to do it, and have proved that they can compete and go far in tournaments in recent years. Under Gareth Southgate, their finishes in both World Cups and Euros tournaments have been:

• World Cup 2018: Fourth (Semi-Finals)
• EURO 2020: Runners-Up (Final)
• World Cup 2022: Quarter-Finals
