It makes me happy that the tournament is in Germany. It is a country with enthusiastic fans, a high football culture, and also fun social activities. I am sure that the fans from different countries will have fun besides football. I believe it will be an enjoyable tournament.
Apart from that, the chances of winning the cup are a little low, even though Germany is the host. There are many favorite teams. Germany is also among them. But France, England and Spain are one step ahead. Especially the finalist of the World Cup, France, I think the strongest favorite of this tournament.

Martinez is very interesting choice for Portugal. He had golden generation of Belgium, but failed to achieve something big. Portugal have good generation now and they will have to learn how to play without Ronaldo.
Other related news. Hugo Lloris retires from French international team. It's surprise for me until I realized that he is already 36 years old
Gareth Bale retired from football at just 33 years old and now he can become full time golf player. He was amazing player, but it's sad that his career started to decline so early.

Fernando Santos should have been kicked out earlier. If they had done that, then they would have performed better during Qatar 2022. But it is never too late. Roberto Martinez is a great replacement and he has more than one and half decade experience in managing teams at top level, including the Belgian national team, Wigan Athletic, Swansea City and Everton. Wigan won the FA cup for the first time in 2012-13, when Martinez was the manager. His tenure with Everton was not that bright though. But then everyone has their own ups and downs.
BTW, I was expecting the retirement of Gareth Bale. He helped his team (Wales) to qualify for the world cup after many decades of waiting. Although their performance in the group stage was not up to the mark, the very fact that they managed to qualify is a big achievement.

I left betting on national teams after the World Cup ended but Germany were one of the best playing teams in the World Cup. They just had issues with finishing and said farewell to the tourney in group stage unluckily. I see Germans as favourites of the tourney with their host country advantage as a result.
don't get fooled by the fact that the Euro will be played in Germany, if you think Germany can win it as a team, it's fine you do you, but because they are the host it doesn't mean anything, we saw what happened to Brazil in 2014 world cup, it's rare where a host wins the tournament, who i actually think can win it is England, they have some young talents that can get them the trophy and it's been a long time since they won something.It seems to me that German national football has been in crisis for a long time. After the 2014 world title in Brazil, they did nothing in the world competitions and were eliminated twice in a row in the group stage of the world championship, which is no coincidence.
Honestly, regardless of the fact that they are the hosts of the next European Championship, I don't see them as favorites for the title.
At the European Championship, I expect the most from the French, England, Spain and Italy.
I don't know what happened, but the quality of play from the German national team is no longer a team that other countries fear.
Maybe for the upcoming Euro 2024 Germany could host, but it will be difficult for Germany to survive playing until the final phase.
There are a number of countries that do have national soccer teams that are very strong and cannot be underestimated, such as Italy, France, Spain and England. They are very strong teams and it is difficult for Germany to beat these teams.
the former belgian national coach Roberto Martinez has been appointed as the new coach of the portuguese national team and is expected to take them out of group j at the qualifying stage to qualify directly for this tournament.
We could already speculate who the title favorites are. What is certain is that France is the absolute favorite. Followed by Germany, England, Italy. Then come countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and possibly Belgium. In Belgium it was known that a number of players are going to stop. I'm afraid you won't have much left of that world team from 2 years ago. Hazard will never be top again. De Bruijne can last a few more years. Germany has a huge advantage because all matches are played in Germany, but then they will have to play better. At the World Cup, they gave away the entire tournament against Japan in just 15 minutes. And they even trailed against Costa Rica. The glorious times seem to be over for this team that may be in need of rejuvenation/renewal.

I also think that Germans have lost their "German" touch in these last competitions where they were knocked out early in the group stages in both events,for me the 2018 was a huge disappointment as they came directly as World Champions there while in 2022 it did not give me that much of an impression that they were eliminated,mostly because many other well known teams were eliminated early.
I think that they need a true revolution in their team for the 2024 in order to be favorites although I think in front of their fans they will behave much differently and maybe they will be one of the top contenders for the title.

@Daniel91 Germany’s football used to be so great once upon a time, but now a day’s they play really bad but since it’s in their home country I sincerely hope that they will perform well at least for the sake of their citizens. However I don’t expect them to win it, because I expect France or England to win it because they have really good player’s who can help them win it.
What happened in Almenaia was something very resounding, the fact that Toni Kross took a step back to give a younger player a new opportunity was not something very intelligent, because the German team lacked a good midfielder who played to Muller, the fact of calling veteran players was a good idea because they have experience, as in the case of Gotze, the new players are good, but they do not have experience, it was not only a mistake by Germany, it was also a mistake by Portugal, they left their best star sitting on the bench, that is something that should not be allowed for anything in the world, things should be seen that way.
I don't think that contributed to Germanys problem. Kross was in the 2018 world cup and they were eliminated in the group stages too. Germany played really well in their 3 games. I'd say they were just unlucky. They only messed up and didn't win Japan. They played well against Spain but only got a draw. They also played well against Costa Rica and won.
In fact, the Germany of the 2022 world cup without Toni Kross was better than the Germany of the 2018 world cup with Toni Kross. MUsiala was outstanding. Not having a natural world class top striker was also a problem for Germany.
I'm even tempted to say they would have been a problem for every other team if they made it out of the group stages. The world cup is a tournament that any single mistake can knock you out of the tournament. Germany, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Brazil all learnt that the hard way

I don't really know if Euro 2024 is already a thing, there are not so many talks about it yet. I will be curious to see how Belgium will do under their new coach. It still needs to be decided who will become their new head coach and it will be interesting to see what players get selected also.
It doesn't change anything if Belgium has new head coach because I believe he will pick a similar players just like in World Cup which is an old players that doesn't playing good anymore except Kevin De Bruyne. Just look on the strikers, Belgium only have Lukaku and Batshuayi, the others: , Trossard, Openda, and Ketealere are bad players. Actually I really want Norway to be qualify for the top 20, their biggest opponent is only Spain in the group stage.

What people should also not forget is that this tournament will be held in Germany. A considerable boost for German football, which has been underperforming in the national tournaments for years. World Cup 2018 and World Cup 2022 were already the end of the story for this team in the group stage. They are building a new team, possibly with great success already in the summer of 2024. They still have a lot of good players. I also have my doubts about the national coach. But does that mean Germany doesn't have to play matches to qualify? Isn't there a lot of competition rhythm missing then? They would have qualified for this tournament anyway, but then you have at least a few more matches. Or do they participate in the group and their results are not included in the final score?
I don't think that hosting the tournament is going to have a big impact on the performance of the national team. Recently Qatar hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup and were handed out large defeats in each of their group matches. Germany is one of the top teams consisting of a large number of experienced players, and they are comfortable paying anywhere around the world. I am not denying the fact that they may get home advantage in 2024. Right now they need to rebuild their team, after the humiliating performance at FIFA 2022 (failed to qualify for the round of 16).
The only advantage that Germany will have in this UEFA Euro 2024 will be their fans because the tournament will be hosted in their country. But I don't think there will be any advantage for German football because it is already at high level. German Bundesliga belongs to the best five European football leagues. Besides, Germany already hosted FIFA World Cup in 2006 so they have experience in hosting tournaments like this.

The soccer world cup just finished not even a month ago and the Euro 24 is already a thing. Even so, the teams already need to start preparing for the competition as the qualifying phase is still underway. I just hope that this turn Portugal can conquer the cup.

Let's hope Italy doesn't suck, like in these last World Cup qualifiers
I don't say much, but at least participate
we have reached the point of not playing even one match in the group stage, that is, not participating in the World Cup at all
I would ask myself some questions, but not everyone does

Together with France they are definitely the favourites, even if I think France is much stronger (since they manage to put the ball in the goal unlike Germany)
Portugal I don't know, Spain doesn't seem very fit to me
We don't talk about Italy, my national team is in very bad shape, it would take a miracle to get it back on track
I cannot believe that people still think that Ronaldo was mistreated after it happened with 4 different managers. He was benched back in Juventus, he was benched by whoever that interim manager was last year in United, he was benched by Erik Tan Hag, and he was benched by Portugal manager, that's four different managers that managed to bench him.
Do we really think that he is still not doing what he supposed to do and just accept the fact that he is a bench player for high level teams? He will be hard to call up for euro 2024 if you ask me, dude would be nearing 40 by that time, and you think he would be any good by that time? I highly doubt that.

I don't know about 2024. But as far as 2022-23 is concerned, he remains as the best Portuguese player (you can disagree with me). I am not denying the fact that Portugal has a bunch of younger guys looking forward to replace Ronaldo in the squad, including João Félix, Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva. But my take is that none of these players have the ability to single-handedly win the matches for their team. Ronaldo maybe out of form right now, but his class is permanent. I am sure that he will regain his form soon and make an impact during the Euro 2024.
I'm not so sure. He is a great player but younger players are coming and they will probably take up his spot soon. He is 37 now and in two years it's questionable how will he perform.
Well, what we can intuit from them is the following, CR7 is a very influential person in the Portugal team, everyone talks about Bruno, but he is only for me as a skydiver, he is nobody compared to CR7, so this is the type of the players are very ungrateful to him, they forgot that thanks to CR7 they are the Euro champions, so where is the management of CR7? I think it would be great if Mou could be the technical director of Portugal, because I'm sure he would keep CR7 and possibly lead the team to be one of the best in Europe, so they don't suffer in qualifying or anything. With a technician like Moyu they wouldn't have any problems.
Mou does not want CR7 to leave, he wants to count on him for both the Euro and the next World Cup
mourinho will not coach portugal, mourinho knows that leaving roma to train in portugal is much more likely to destroy his reputation and it would not be an easy task to lead portugal to win things, and mourinho is a coach who likes to win things, when he joins a team he wants to be given all the resources so he can win things, in italy rome is very confident that mourinho will stay as coach of roma
Roma director confident Mourinho will not leave for Portugal job
I believe that a soccer player when he is 35-37 years old should not retire if he considers that he still has a lot to do. what to give, because then it would be frustrating, for me what CR7 is doing is very good, I know people say that age is a number, but we cannot forget the experience he has, he is also a star
attacking players usually retire between 32 and 39 years old, that's because coaches don't care much that an attacking player over 30 years old ignores the defense and stays only in the attack as long as that player is scoring goals, the problem of ronaldo is right here, he doesn't have the same speed as before, the same dribbling as before and he doesn't score many goals anymore, just see that he can even spend many games without even scoring 1 goal, that's not a good thing for a 37-year-old striker, he no longer has the qualities to play for the big European clubs
Messi with his 36 -37 years old, he won a world cup, he did not know what banking was in the World Cup, just like Luka Modric and they led their countries to the top, in Portugal Fernando Santos failed.
Messi is 35 years old, in addition messi has a quality that ronaldo and many players do not have, messi is not just a striker like ronaldo or mbappe or haaland or benzema or lewandowski, messi manages to coordinate all the teams by occupying various positions on the field and doing this task better that the players of that position
It is very interesting, in everything you say you are right, of course now everyone focuses on what CR7 did, they believe that he has buried his career, but in part I do not see it that way, the hostile ways they treated him at Man United, I think that anyone loses the desire to be in Europe, despite the fact that he is a person who is not very affected by what they say about him, here Messi already has a victory that CR7 has not been able to achieve If CR7 arrives in Portugal at the age of 41 and is in the national team, it would be a great feat, but if he arrives, I think he will have it very clear, and it is to win the World Cup no matter what, I would like to see those players again stars in the next world cup, personally I don't like how Mbappé plays, he has a very different style from many players, I prefer the style of Messi, CR7, and with the style of Ronaldo and Zidane, I think those are the players They have given more to talk about in their time, of course we cannot leave Pelé aside.
It's a pity about Mou, I didn't know that he had made that decision, I hope that a good coach arrives in Portugal, without any kind of prejudice and leaves the players who do best, even if it means leaving out a CR7.
