Euro 2024 Favourites for me is: 1.France. 2.England. 3.Portugal. 4.Spain. It might be hillarious if those teams played in the semifinal. My possible semifinal scenarios: France vs Portugal and England vs Spain.

Think France are the favourites but Portugal squad is crazy..Defenders like Cancelo,Dallot,Silva,Pepe,Dias and one of the best goalkeepers of the world,then in middle Nev3s,Palhinha,Octavio,Bernardo etc and their foward line is insane..Ronaldo,Felix,Ramos,Leao,Neto,Jota,Neves,Bruno etc.

[@zezizezseze7544]

I feel Portugal squad is better now because isnt all about Ronaldo and him having to resolve stuff almost by himself(he did it a lottt of times).Some years ago was like..what can Portugal do if Ronaldo isnt playing,they dont have a chance etc but now..if Ronaldo cant play or solve it then there is Benardo,Felix,Bruno,Ramos,Cancelo,Leão or Jota.Basicaly its a squad with more game changers.If not mistaken they are the third most valuable National squad of the world.
