According to CCTV5 program list (March 2, 2024), the European Football Championship (European Cup) is about to open in June, which is a quadrennial football feast, attracting the attention and expectation of hundreds of millions of fans around the world. A total of 24 teams participated in this European Cup, which was divided into six groups. The first two teams and the fourth best team in each group will be promoted to the knockout stage to compete for the final championship. This article will introduce the calculation method of the ranking of the European Cup group teams and the situation of Group F, which is called the "Group of Death". This group includes four teams from France, Germany, Portugal and Hungary, all of which are strong teams in European football. Their confrontation will be a wonderful visual feast as well as a strategic contest. Who can laugh last, We will wait and see.
First, introduce the calculation method of the ranking of the European Cup group teams. According to the regulations of UEFA, the ranking of each group will be considered in the following order:
- For the points in the group match, 3 points for victory, 1 point for draw and 0 point for failure;
- The goal difference in the group match is the number of goals minus the number of goals conceded;
- The total number of goals in the group match;
- The fair competition points in the group match, namely, the red card will be deducted by 3 points, the yellow card will be deducted by 1 point, and the two yellow cards will become red cards by 3 points;
- Total points in European Cup qualifiers;
- The goal difference in the European Cup qualifiers;
- The total number of goals in European Cup qualifiers;
- The number of away goals in European Cup qualifiers;
- Fair competition points in European Cup qualifiers;
- UEFA national team ranking.
If the above conditions cannot be determined, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots.
Secondly, I would like to introduce the situation of Group F. There are four teams in this group: France, Germany, Portugal and Hungary. Their strength and achievements are very excellent. Their confrontation will be an unpredictable war, and their ranking will be very fierce. Their performance deserves attention. Here are some of their basic information and data:

It can be seen from the table that France, Germany and Portugal are all traditional strong teams in the European Cup. They all have rich experience and excellent players. Their European Cup qualifiers and UEFA national teams are also ranked high. They all have the strength and confidence to win the championship. Hungary is a team with a glorious history, but its strength has declined in recent years. They barely advanced through the play offs, and their UEFA national team ranking is also very low. They are the weak team of this group, and their goal is to try to maintain their dignity.
To sum up, the ranking of the European Cup group teams is calculated according to a certain order and conditions. Group F is a very powerful and intense group. France, Germany and Portugal are all the favourites to win the championship. Their confrontation will be a tough battle, and their ranking will be very tight. They need to go all out in every game, Hungary is a team with great impact and tenacity. They may create some problems for other teams. They need to fight hard in every game to get a good result. Finally, I wish them good luck and cheer for the European Cup!
