We can confidently say that England and France are the strongest teams in UEFA confederation right now.
I respect your opinion but disagree with you on including France as one of the strongest, England yes, they are just brilliant in performance, making their opponent feel unsafe, taking all chances created and scoring more goals like they (England) don't have time to play around with the kind of world class players they have (if I should say it that way) .
Coming to the France national team, is just disappointing for them not to live up to expectation, former
WORLD CHAMPIONS , they can't even get a second goal even when they're playing against a carded team (Greece). Let's check their ranking, France 2nd position and Greece 52nd position but the France national team couldn't best Greece with one man down, is just disappointing to me. And I feel the unity is not there on that France side, something is wrong somewhere.
Unfortunately during Qatar 2022, these teams faced off each other during playoffs and as a result England got kicked out. Teams like Spain and Italy are still in rebuilding phase and Portugal is looking quite deflated without Ronaldo. Other teams like Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Danmark are declining since new talent is not getting infused. So it will not be a surprise if England tops their group in Euro qualifiers.
England is a promising team, since they lost to Italy in that finals their mentality changed for good, is like they are a moving train without breaks. They (ENGLAND) have a target in their mind and their performance speaks for them. If they don't top their group it will be a waste of effort from the start so they don't have any excuse not topping that group. With Germany, Belgium, Netherland and Denmark like you listed, those are teams that need quick recovery at the moment, they're not playing like they use to, I wouldn't say much about the Denmark side because they too haven't found themselves in a long while compared to the others, or should I say they're better than the other teams 🤔? Time will tell.
Portuguese national team has already past the Ronaldo era, and is paying off for them with the young talents coming in, I don't think the man CR7 would be missed at all.
