Never underestimate England’s ability to bottle a tournament nearly 60 years after their one and only trophy.
Portugal was robbed in that tournament they won too
Kind of like you never understimate Klinsmann's ability to bottle a National team.
Nothing wrong with that silver medal in 2020 /2021.
Wow, if you think other teams simply lose when they don't win a tournament but England 'bottle it' then England must be the best team ever! The fact everybody's so obsessed with putting down England's current squad says everything.
«To bottle a tournament» England has never, never bottled a tournament. They had some decent squads going into some tournaments (in 2000s for example), however, they never really were the best team in Europe (or even in the world). They used to be dark horses all the time.
England are the international tottenham 😂😂😂
They are overhyped like Liverpool but bottles like Spurs 😂
Preach 😆 🤣
@@Triple_X_X high expectations zero delivery!😅
They have the best squad, but always bottle it.
If that was true then you believe Spurs have the best squad of in Europe. So your analogy falls down there. they are more like Arsenal, where they have the players to win all the major trophies, but maybe not the coach to pull it off.
Good to see Jurgen commentating from the same location he coached Korea
Oh gosh 😆
every one here in germany laughs about jürgen klinsmann xD
@@yannikakapralli no one acturally does, he still is respected because he changed the german way of playing

This aged well…France -Germany 0-2:)
A strong defensive unit is always favourite to win the tournament
England last big win: 1966 (!). Let it sink in kids, most of you on this forum weren't born. Steve Nicol (the oldest ESPN pundit) was 5 years old!
congratulations you can do math 1 gold ⭐ for you, make sure you 📌 on the fridge freezer 👏 yea go you! 👍
Not the last the only win. Germany did 3 European cups and 3 Worldcups in the time since the only english win. By the way they cheated at that one too. I only say the portugal wembley scam.
@dwayenway England were (very clearly) cheated at Mexico '86 & South Africa 2010
If Germany wins the first game they will go all the way to the final.
i believe so too
No chance they’ll get to round of 16 at most. This group of German players are useless, group stage exit quite likely.
Lol ..and what about if they draw at their first game?
@@GRbobkainathen they'll win the tournament 😭💀 I mean ppl talk like winning the 1st game will change them into prime Germany 😂
Well then it is still possible if they finish first in their group.
Betting odds are not a reflection of form. They are reached as a calculation of bets placed.
Thank you Frank you know ball.
So, no one is mentioning that they have a completely different Team now?
Mbappe will have fun with England's defense.. he'll make Trent forget how to cross a ball 😂
oh definitely just like last time out in the desert aye? Kyle Walker should be charged for theft after pocketing him
@@stonebone_ mbappe literally almost gave someone an assist because kyle walker couldnt catch up to him lmao 😂😂
Southgate insists on starting Maguire. As a United fan, I just have to laugh - there are many better England defenders than him.
He didn’t do that much last time I hate England but u need to start watching games barley done anything when he goes up against England
@@reqealno he didn't had any goal contribution in the Last game against England 😂
I am Scottish and German, I am so conflicted about the first game. As long as they both get out the group I'm happy I guess.
A fellow Scot/German here. It's a tie made in dreams for me, but sadly didn't get any tickets for the match. Hope Scotland can get into the knockout stage and I'm actually getting quite confident about Germany atm. We're going to have a much better squad than most people think. Musiala, Gündogan, Wirtz is all I'm saying.
People shouldn't underestimate Germany
@@calinho7689 If Musiala and Wirtz can get a good connection going, along with the experience of the older guys, they could be unstoppable! I am always overconfident about Germany though. It would mean so much for Scotland to get through as well, I love what Steve Clark has done!

I'd love to see: France vs Portugal England vs Germany In the semifinals... Would make for a greattttt final
You have 0 ball knowledge. Based on the draw, France-England is only happened in the semifinal, as did Germany and Portugal. I'm also doubt that Germany will progress further, given their dreadful performance.
@@ezraezra2928 woah woah u don't have to attack me like that😂 I haven't seen the draw yet, just listed my dream matchups on top of my head Anyway how can these 4 meet in the semifinals then?
@@redbullsalz The knockout bracket for Euro 2024 is exactly the same one as Euro 2020, IIRC. This is, according to the official regulations of the European Championship by UEFA. Here's a rundown of the knockout stages: 1.1B vs 3A/D/E/F. 2.1A vs 2C. 3.1F vs 3A/B/C. 4.2D vs 2E. 5.1E vs 3A/B/C/D. 6.1D vs 2F. 7.1C vs 3D/E/F. 8.2A vs 2B. If you don't know about those number coding, it's represented by the final positions in the group stage (1=Group Winners, 2=Group Runners-up, 3=Best 3rd Place). So, in theory, if England and France topped the group, they could only met in the semifinal, unless either of those two didn't came in identical positions (or even finished 3rd, which further opens the possibility of both facing each other in Round of 16. The same thing also happened for Portugal and Germany, if they topped the group (of course). Realistically, France and England will unlikely finish 2nd in their respective groups, but there's the likes of Netherlands and Denmark who will upset the respective group prediction (and ensured that France will met England in the Final instead, and vice versa). I feel that reverting to these knockout brackets proved better challenge for big teams. It's being used in Euro 2016 (and the most football tournaments where 24 teams competed): 1.2A vs 2C. 2.1D vs 3B/E/F. 3.1B vs 3A/C/D. 4.1F vs 2E. 5.1C vs 3A/B/F. 6.1E vs 2D. 7.1A vs 3C/D/E. 8.2B vs 2F. The weird thing is, even with this traditional knockout bracket, the Euro 2020 Final will still be Italy vs England, albeit in a reverse order (England were the home team instead of away, based on the administrative purposes). And, if we used the new knockout bracket in Euro 2016, you can't see the Portugal vs France Final, as this game will very likely happened in the quarterfinal (due to the fact Portugal will most likely play against the winners of Group B, which, for this case, Wales earlier than semifinal, in reality).
Portugal have won all their games with Martinez, so watch out
Did you see their group lol
they will get a reality check against an actual team.
@@vik24oct1991 thats what england gets every tournament
France or Spain. England is basically bottleham hotspur
Spain😂
England will get all pumped up and overhyped only to get knocked out in the Quarterfinals as always.. It's like they've been destined to win Quarterfinal trophies
were u from mouth?
Last time they were in final. Jokes aside - if you look at the bracket it is clear one of semifinals will be France-England : I think the winner from that game will win the euro
@@MrKaravaj will kane knock down another satellite?
Look at their squad. Some people don't have a clue. 😅
In all seriousness, England might get knocked out at the QF stage, but it won't be because they're the same old England. They have quality all over the pitch. There are Liverpool regulars who won't even make the squad.
Mbappe is happily waiting to play with his toy Trent 💀😂
very true mbappe is going to be the second best attacking player in the game behind trant.
Trent😂😂@@harrismazari5484
He'll be going against Kyle Walker, you plank. Kyle made him look ordinary last time they played.
jurgen is a top lad
If Jurgen klinsman isn’t the nicest man in football I don’t know who is! Great guy and what a great player he was !
They have been shouting so much that by the time they start the tournament, England gonna choke again 😂😂
Here before the video: Steve "Germanophobe" Nicol is surely the best choice to give an opinion on Germanys Euro odds xD Its like asking the Devil what he thinks of Jesus, but lets see how it goes P.s: He didnt disappoint xD
On the paper, the ranking should be: France, England, Portugal , Spain, Germany, Netherlands
Wouldn’t even put Germany in that. They’ll probably be out in the groups again maybe round of 16 if they’re lucky. Their useless
@@danielmacdonald721I see them reaching quarters at best but they definitely won't get grouped in the euros tbh
@@ADK_7 we thought that at the last euros and World Cup in 2022 and they stunk the place out and were embarrassed. I just think this German generation of players are never gonna deliver, they’re a bit pathetic tbh
@@danielmacdonald721 But at euros 4 best 3rd placed teams also advance and they're the host nation too this time I'm not saying that they'll go deep or win it but I feel they'll reach quarters at best or go out in RO16 at least
@@ADK_7 that’s a fair point. Genuinely think Scotland will beat them to be honest I think form what we’ve seen is they’ll finish 3rd probably. But I think they’ll crumble in the round of 16
By the quality of the squads, the 3 favorites should be for me 1- France, 2- England 3- Portugal
Germany beat portugal just last tournament? Germany is definetly 3 in that list AT LEAST. Also youre forgetting that they HOST this tournament. Which is alwys a boost that is not to underestimate.
Except mbappe everyone is nervous because mbappe knows he jus needs to play like he always does and if France wins the euros then mbappe will cement his legacy with the GOATS and he'll just 25 and same goes for griezmann but only on international level.

You must only be the age of 4 then? 😂
England don't take the nations league seriously
@@jm-np4munobody does
@@jm-np4mumaybe they should . . . It’s not like they’ll be winning any real trophies, might as well get something to put in that dusted trophy cabinet
Never underestimate the power of home advantage. France are clear favourites in my eyes.
But the Euros will be held in Germany
England can't play France in finals if they both win their groups. Forza Azzurri!!!
Of course, they will also play against Italy in the quarterfinal, assuming Italy were 2nd in the Group B. But, after watching Spain's shock result vs Colombia, it would be very interesting to see Spain not topping the Group of Death.
Dont understand how england are always top 3 for winning a tournament.they never win anything
Almost nobody wins anything
England making themselves the favourites to win the euros 😂😂😂😂
Kai played well as left back.. goals were conceded on the other side. Klinsmann making a living as espn pundit has no reason to make fun of him or Nagelsmann
Neuer, Mittselstadt, Rudiger, Tah, Raum, Gundogan, Andrich, Kroos, Musiala, Sane, Havertz, Undav, Fullkrug, Wirtz, Groß, Goretzka, Fuhrich, Kimmich, Henrichs, Anton
Not that good, no top striker
Yes, Germany is also a good team.
No germay has great players but no team.
@@dwayenway It will take some time to develop chemistry but Euro is the right time to start it.
The other day, if you think 🇵🇹 played without Diogo Jota, Cancelo, Felix, the Nr 1 keeper, and up front against Sweden, only Leao and Bernardo Silva are 100% starting and undoubtedly first team.
England above france, spain and germany!!! Is this a joke.
England, France, Netherlands
You can't win a Euros with Maguire starting and Southgate managing
I don't think England will win the Euro this year. Southgate will go to Manchester United after England's shortcomings. Favourites will be France and Portugal. I also highly doubt Spain will win it. The recent friendly against Colombia, where they lost, showed a great weaknesses for this team.
Havertz after joining arsenal improved like jorginho according to espn pundits but numbers are same or low but pundits hate Chelsea despite both won CL at Chelsea nd didn't win anything at arsenal but both improved at arsenal
In 2006 no German had any hope for the team. And it was the beginning of an era.
The Scottish fans will definitely make it loud.
Germany for me it looks like they find right manager they back and winning plus playing home , England don’t know why but no
As a portuguese I couldnt be less woried abt england, especialy w that botler of a striker
Stop sleeping on Portugal guys, come on now
Its tournament football england can definitely win they always could. Theyre usually overrated but they have never in my lifetime came into a tournament with a squad that could win. But this is sports and if it was that straightforward id bet on it.
I wish there was some sort of rule that when someone makes a prediction on a football tournament they have to say something more than just: "_______ aren't winning it". That doesn't make you a football expert just a coward and a hater.
England & France have the best squads. England's results have overall been very consistent since the last WC (& are unbeaten) , including beating holders Italy home & away in qualifying for these Euros . There's a reason why they're up to 3rd in the world rankings, despite all the usual anti-England rubbish here.
Speaking the truth
England is always ranked high. Then tournament time and Kane chokes 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Don’t know how Germany (who got grouped in 2022 and haven’t looked better) got ahead of Portugal and England aren’t favorites over France
The reason they count Portugal as underdog is because they don’t want people to see penaldo failure if he fail to win euro so people will say his team is not good enough tho I know there plan 😂
England and France have the same odds.England is first because the letter E comes before F in the alphabet
Yeah, England and France have the same odds, but England have a better squad, but France have the best player in the world, so of course nobody wants to bet against France.@@uzaidgurjee4798
Portugal doesn't have the squad depth imo. Judging by squads France and England should be the favorites then Germany, Portugal and the Netherlands. The Dutch are very much overlooked in my eyes, as they have a killer CB partnership with Van Dijk and van de Ven and also the likes of Xavi Simons, Gakpo, Frimpong, Frankie de Jong and Depay.
Portugal would've gotten grouped in Germany's group. Portugal are always overhyped. Last Euros Portugal were supposed to smoke Germany after Germany lost to France and then Germany put four past them.
Labelling each country with equivalent to its club identity England = Tottenham (bottlers) France = Man City (Favourites) Portugal = Real (Galacticos) Spain = Barcelona (tiki taka) Italy = Bayern Munich (stubborn) Belgium = Arsenal (attractive) Switzerland = Man Utd (unpredictable) Germany = Liverpool (Under dogs)
The funny thing about England and Belgium is that they have a golden generation team that resulted in the same downward fate (not winning the major trophies), just like the North London rivals, who are still yet to win any kind of major trophies after a long years. Arsenal didn't win the Premier League since their Invincibles in 2004, while Spurs' last major trophies was in 2008.
Germany is Bayern Munich and Italy is Liverpool
Italy always do better when they are not the favourites. So let them be the underdogs.
Great chance for Scotland to get off to a good start, against Germany.
8:18 Love the guy, tell em! Greetings from Germany and for the record: We fear France a million times more than the BottleJob Nation called England
AFCON was won by the host. The Asian Cup was also won by the host. Just saying.
Ivory Coast is quite fair and miraculous, despite having a poor display in the group stage and even sacked their coach. Qatar cheated all the way to win the Asian Cup.
@@ezraezra2928 German can also create their own story
@@compballrsa Agreed. Remember that in 2006, when they hosted the World Cup, the country had an abysmal friendlies (including a 1-4 defeat against future winners Italy), but in the tournament itself, Germany had almost got the revenge against Italy in the semifinal, until the dying moments of the extra time, when Italy scored 2 goals. Overall, Germany's performance in that World Cup was successful, albeit not winning at all. Because they had just beat France, who were the World Cup finalist, twice in the friendlies (2-1 and 2-0), we still hope that they will go further in this Euro. A big reminder: Although Euro 2024 in Germany came just 10 years after the country's last World Cup triumph in Brazil, this year also marked the 70th anniversary of Germany's first World Cup triumph in Switzerland (the Miracle of Berne) and 50th anniversary of Germany's World Cup triumph in Munich. I think Germany's Euro triumph at Berlin this year could be a big tribute to the Der Kaiser (Franz Beckenbauer), who had passed away at the beginning of this year, as he was the most decorated footballer in the country that captained the team in 1974 World Cup.

I wouldn't be surprised if France get knockout in the Round of 16 like the 2020 Euros in 2021.
portugal has not face any stronger team yet. they beat weak team . they should have play atleast 2 freindlies against stronger team to test their real strength.

No matter what will happen, the Scots will absolutely enjoy the whole matchday in the countless beergardens in Munich. It would be hilarious to see them actually winning against Germany and as a German myself it won't suprise at all. The German national team hasn't shown any signs of improvement.
Abwarten und Tee trinken...
I think if Portugal play without Ronaldo they have a very good chance to win it
Like against Morocco
Portugal should be among the favourites
England and man city are always favorites, even though they both won one big trophy 😂😂😂
England have the best quality up front, but a mediocre defence, and a stubborn Manager.
Germany has a good chance if they focus on their game and not bring politics to it.

@@jm-np4mu think again G. England don't have a single solid cb pairing for a back 4 and are short on depth in deep center midfield.

Plus they literally have no second pivot players outside past it Henderson. Just quality attacking midfielders (of playmaker and box to box type). Wide players and strikers.
