The wonderful grading principle of the European Cup makes the difference between the strong and the weak. Can Germany, the host country, successfully advance to the knockout stage?

On December 27, 2023, according to CCTV5 program list, the European Cup qualifier has ended, and 24 teams have confirmed their eligibility to participate in the European Cup next summer.

On December 27, 2023, according to CCTV5 program list, the European Cup qualifier has ended, and 24 teams have confirmed their qualifications to participate in the European Cup next summer. However, due to the wonderful classification principle of the European Cup, some teams will face great challenges, while some teams will be relatively relaxed. Among them, the German team, the host, suffered a nightmare. They will meet the French team and the Portuguese team in the group match. These two teams are the favorites to win the European Cup. Whether the German team can successfully advance to the knockout phase has become a matter of concern.

The classification principle of the European Cup is determined according to the ranking of European national teams. The higher the ranking, the higher the classification. The higher the classification, the weaker the opponents in the group match. However, because the calculation method of European national team ranking is very complex, some powerful teams are not ranked high, so they are not ranked high, and thus encounter strong opponents. For example, France and Portugal, both champions of the World Cup, are ranked fifth and sixth respectively in the ranking of European national teams. Therefore, they are both assigned to the second level instead of the first. Although Germany is the host of the European Cup, they only rank 14th in the ranking of European national teams, so they are assigned to the fourth grade instead of the first. As a result, France, Portugal and Germany were assigned to the same group, forming the strongest death group in the history of the European Cup.

The German team is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in this group. They will face the challenge of two European giants. Their qualification situation is very serious. German coach Joachim Loew said that he was very disappointed with this grouping. He thought it was an unfair draw. He also admitted that it was a test. He hoped the team could overcome difficulties and show their strength and confidence. German team captain Neuer also said that he was very surprised at this grouping. He thought it was a difficult battle. He also said that the team would go all out to achieve good results. The fans of the German team also said that they were very dissatisfied with this grouping. They thought it was an unfair arrangement. They also said that they would support the team and cheer for the team.

The schedule of German team's group match is as follows:

In terms of the schedule, Germany will meet France and Portugal in the first two games, which will have a decisive impact on their qualification situation. They must win at least one game to keep their hope of qualification. In the last game, the German team will meet the Hungarian team. This is their last chance. They must win a game to ensure the possibility of qualification. In short, the German team in this group, there is no easy and lax, they must go all out in every game, in order to successfully qualify for the knockout phase.

The European Cup qualifier has ended, and the European Cup is about to start. 24 teams will start a fierce competition. We look forward to the feast of European football, and wish all teams can bring us a wonderful game.
