According to CCTV5 program list (January 27, 2024), the grouping of the 2024 European Cup was announced, and three European giants, France, Germany and Portugal, were in Group F together, becoming the most interesting death group of this European Cup. The other team is the winner of the play off group A, which may be Poland, Wales, Estonia or Hungary.
France was the champion of the last World Cup and also the number one winner of this European Cup. They have a strong team with a luxurious lineup, including world-class players such as Mbape, Gretzman, Kanter, Pogba, etc. France came out easily with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the qualifying match, scored 25 goals and lost only 6 goals, showing a stable performance. French coach Didier Deschamps aims to win the World Cup and European Cup, but he also admits that the grouping is difficult and needs to go all out.
Germany is one of the hosts of this European Cup, and also the champion of the fourth World Cup and the third European Cup. They went out of the qualifying match with a record of 7 wins and 1 draw, scored 30 goals, and only 7 goals were lost. Their attack efficiency is high. Germany has a group of experienced and outstanding players, such as Neuer, Cross, Gnabri, Haffetz, etc. German coach Joachim Loew has announced that he will step down after this European Cup, and he hopes to bid farewell with a good result. But he also said that the grouping was cruel and needed to be prepared.
Portugal was the defending champion of the last European Cup and the champion of the first European League of Nations. They went out with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the qualifying match, scored 22 goals and only missed 6 goals. Their defense was solid. Portugal has a young and diversified team. In addition to the leader Ronaldo, there are also new stars such as Bernardo Silva, Felix, Bruno Fernandez, etc. Portugal coach Santos' goal is to defend the European Cup, but he also admitted that the grouping is complex and needs to remain focused.
The winner of the play off group A will be one of Poland, Wales, Estonia or Hungary. Poland and Wales are strong teams with world-class players, such as Lewandowski and Bale. Estonia and Hungary are weaker teams, but they may also create surprises. No matter which team will face great challenges, it is almost impossible to break through the group of death.
