Well, they are<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the favorites at Euro 2024 but will they still be haunted by that devastating loss to Italy at<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wembley at the last Euro Final? We should find out this summer if the Three Lions can make<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>amends in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group Winner: England -250<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopes were at an all-time high in Qatar as many thought England would finally break through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But another disappointing result saw the Three Lions crash out in the quarters to France. But<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>there is optimism this time around as England breezed through qualifying with six wins and two<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>draws. And with Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden at the top of their game, England<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>has shown recently they are the team to beat. But to win it all, the road after the group stage is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tough. There\u2019s a good chance England could face France and Belgium on their side of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>draw, all ranked in the top-4 in the world. And if they get to the final, they could see Spain or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Key player: Harry Kane<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harry Kane has been on fire this season scoring 31 goals for Bayern Munich at the March<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>international break. Playing in Germany should also help him in the tournament as he\u2019ll be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>relied on heavily to score for the Three Lions and carry this team deep in the knockout round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group Winner: Denmark +400<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denmark won this tournament back in 1992 and almost shocked the continent again at Euro<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2020 but bowed out in the semifinal to England. The two teams meet in the second match of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>group play. Denmark finished 7-2-1 in the qualifying round and are favored to join England in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the knockout round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Key player: Rasmus H\u00f8jlund<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manchester United star is Denmark\u2019s leading goalscorer with 7 in 12 appearances. The<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dane\u2019s aren\u2019t known for scoring in bunches but will need H\u00f8jlund to find the back of the net to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ensure qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group Winner: Serbia +800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of Yugoslavia, Serbia was part of the runners-up teams in 1960 and 1968 and also<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>made the quarters in 2000 as FR Yugoslavia (before becoming Serbia and Montenegro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be Serbia\u2019s first ever appearance as an independent country. Serbia finished second in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>qualifying but may be overmatched in group play. They\u2019re led by Aleksandar Mitrovic who<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>scored 5 goals during qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group Winner: Slovenia +1200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slovenia is the longest shot in the group making the Euro\u2019s for just the second time in their<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>history. Back in 2000, Slovenia was eliminated in the group stage with a loss and two draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And exited two World Cup tournaments in the group stage as well. But this team did play well<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>winning seven of ten qualifying games in a very competitive group. They are one of the longest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>shots to win the whole thing, so that tells you their chances of getting out of the group aren\u2019t<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>very good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can England finally end a 58-year old drought by finally winning a major trophy?
