According to CCTV5 program list (January 21, 2024), the last round of the European Cup group match ended yesterday, 16 of the 24 teams were successfully promoted to the knockout stage, and the other 8 teams said goodbye to the tournament in advance. Now let's take a look at the qualification and promotion rankings of each group.

Group A: Italy, Wales, Switzerland
There is no great suspense about the team that will qualify for Group A, Italy won all three games and won the first place in the group, while Wales won the second place in the group with 4 points thanks to the victory over Turkey and the draw against Switzerland. Switzerland only got 3 points, but with a good goal difference, it became the third in the best group and also successfully advanced to the knockout phase. Turkey, on the other hand, lost all three wars and did not get a point, which became the biggest disappointment of this European Cup.

Group B: Belgium, Denmark
The qualifying team in Group B is also quite clear. Belgium, as one of the most popular winners of this European Cup, did not disappoint. It easily won the first place in the group with three wins. Denmark experienced a tragedy. Their core player Eriksson had a sudden cardiac arrest in the first game against Finland. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, but the team's morale was severely damaged, losing to Finland and Belgium consecutively. However, Denmark did not give up. In the last round of the match against Russia, they scored 4-1 and won the second place in the group with 3 points, which also gave Eriksson the best wishes. Finland and Russia are not eligible for the knockout match because of insufficient goal difference.

Group C: Netherlands, Austria, Ukraine
The qualifying team in Group C was somewhat unexpected. Although the Netherlands did not have much hope of winning the championship, they performed well in the group match and won the first place in the group with three victories. Austria won the second place in the group with 6 points thanks to its victory over Ukraine. Although Ukraine only got 3 points, due to the poor performance of the third place in other groups, they also luckily became the third place in the best group and advanced to the knockout stage. Northern Macedonia lost all three games and did not get a point, but their spirit of participation is still commendable.

Group D: England, Croatia, Czech Republic
The qualifying teams in Group D have not changed much. Although England did not score too many goals, their defense is very stable, and they won two games and drew one. Croatia scored 3-1 in the final round against Scotland, ranking second in the group with 4 points. Although the Czech Republic also got 4 points, they only ranked third in the group due to their inferior performance against Croatia, but they also became the third best group and advanced to the knockout stage. Scotland won one game and lost two games. It was the bottom of the group with a score of 1 point and was not eligible for the knockout round.

Group E: Sweden, Spain
The qualifying team in Group E was a bit surprised. Sweden, as the dark horse in this group, won the first place in the group with a record of two wins and one draw. Their defense and counterattack were excellent, which caused great trouble to the opponents. Spain scored 5-0 in the last round against Slovakia, winning the second place in the group with 5 points, ending the embarrassment of the previous two draws. Poland and Slovakia were excluded from the knockout stage due to insufficient points and goal difference.

Group F: France, Germany, Portugal
Group F is the strongest group in this European Cup, known as the group of death. There are three popular teams to win the championship, France, Germany and Portugal. Although France did not score too many goals, their strength and stability were convincing, and they won the first place in the group with one win and two draws. Germany experienced a thrilling match. In the last round of the match against Hungary, they were led twice by their opponents and equalized twice.
