Euro 2024 predictions: Watch Jamie Carragher choose his winner

Will this summer be the moment when an England team finally ends the 58-year wait to lift a major men's trophy? Or will it be more disappointment for Gareth Southgate's much-fancied side?
Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool and England international centre-back who was part of the squad for the 2004 tournament, makes his picks using Telegraph Sport's interactive predictor.
Two years ago Carragher successfully predicted Argentina would win the 2022 World Cup - has he identified the eventual winner again this time around? He has England reaching the latter stages in Germany...

The problem with England is that the players are drawn from too many league teams. Yes, they might all be good players for their clubs, but the defenders don't play for the same club as each other, or the goalkeeper, the midfielders don't play for the same club as each other and the forwards are also drawn from different clubs. That causes communication problems, which can't all be resolved by practising in training and by playing friendlies. That bond comes from many hours of playing competitive games with each other. The Premier League may be touted as 'the best league in Europe', attracting overseas players to it, but this is at the expense of being able to form an England team that works well.

Carraghers logic is flawed.. if Italy are in a tough group and they all take points off each other they'll have more points than the other 3rd place finishers as they would have lost a couple of games having very few points

[@smellmyskunk2]

I think he means there will be closer games, therefore more draws and "points dropped" as each game distributes 2 points instead of 3

[@Anthony-mt7qr]

Taking points of each other can also mean a lot of draws too. 2010, Italy finished bottom of the group with like 2 points. New Zealand actually finished 3rd and the only team in that world cup undefeated on 3 points (Spain lost to Switzerland in the group stage).

[@jamesdryan]

Really frustrated me there, how do they both not see it 😂😂

[@Wedelinskyj]

The correct way to predict which 2 third placers will miss out is to look at the groups with the most even 2-4 placed teams. They are the most likely to have a third placer with just 1 or 2 points. The groups where 1 team is obviously the whipping boy (on paper) will more likely have third place teams on 3 points. I think group A, C and E are the most evenly matched below the best team, and it's there we'll find the third placers who don't make it through.

Mopped the pitch with them? They won because England didn't press home their advantage due to overly cautious tactics. Italy were comprehensivly outplayed in the first half. Then a few of younger players fluffed their penalties. Italians are street wise and grind out wins in tournaments hence they have pedigree and self belief. When England win a tournament I guarantee that will change everything and we will go on to be dominant like we are in lots of other sports relative to our size.

[@johnjim6793]

Regarding Germany, there are some striking similarities to the 2002 World Cup. In both cases the team was in crisis because they had clung to a once-successful coach for too long (Vogts/Löw), then experienced a desastrous tournament with their next coach (Ribbeck 2000/Flick 2004), then Völler took over and gave the team a restart with an unexpected victory over a great team (Spain in 2000, France in 2023). And in both cases Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund had reached the European Cup finals, only with the competitions changed. In 2002, Germany had a great World Cup, mainly because the key players like Kahn, Ballack, Schneider, Neuville and Klose could take their great performances from the season over to the World Cup. Also this year some individual players have had great club seasons - obviously the ones from Bayer Leverkusen, but also Rüdiger and Kroos at Madrid and Havertz at Arsenal. Everything depends on if they manage to keep the form or if the long season has sucked all energy out of their legs.

[@mariomelendez9774]

There’s a clear hole in the reasoning behind leaving italy out, if first and second drop more points than in other groups that means there are more ponits to pick up by third hence being one pf the strongest third places, as in other groups first and second won’t be dropping points

To the intro: GERMANY IS NOT ONLY BAVARIA!
