As the Euro 2024 tournament kicks off, all attention in the UK turns to England and Scotland, representing the home nations on the international stage. Scotland finds themselves in a challenging group alongside hosts Germany, Switzerland, and Hungary, facing the daunting task of playing the tournament opener in Munich against a passionate home crowd.
Despite being the lowest-ranked team in their group, Scotland, led by manager Steve Clarke, aims to make an impact in just their fourth Euros appearance. After a solid qualifying campaign, where they lost only one of eight matches and finished second in their group behind Spain, Scotland hopes to cause some upsets.
Gareth Southgate's England squad, ranked fourth globally, enters the tournament as one of the favorites after reaching the final in the previous edition. With a talented lineup including Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, and Phil Foden, England aims to build on their recent successes under Southgate's leadership.
In their group, England will face Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia, aiming to start strong after a disappointing final warm-up match, a 1-0 defeat against Iceland at Wembley. With high expectations, England hopes to finally clinch the European title after consistently reaching at least the quarter-finals in recent major tournaments.
