Portuguese also that group is very easy for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo will also be present just to get more international cap's what else, can he still score till then hehe. Spain has Norway they have good player's growing up fastly both Haaland and Arsenal Captain will do well to qualify. England and Italy has been sucked together since the last Euro's hosted by England
Cristiano Ronaldo is already 37 years old and he will be 38 in a few months. Personally I don't expect him to take part in Euro 2024. He may retire from international football after the FIFA World Cup of 2022 (although he may persist with club football for some more time). And that will put Portugal in a lot of trouble. Because at this point, Portugal is essentially a one-man army led by Ronaldo. Once he is retired, they will find themselves in trouble. Because none of the younger players (Pedro Neto, João Félix, Gonçalo Ramos, Rafael Leão, Diogo Jota.etc) are capable of filling the vacuum.
Well, I really don't think that CR7 will leave Portugal so quickly, he has a commitment to his son, who will be trying hard to be able to play with his dad, he is just asking him to hold on a little longer to make his dream come true It would be spectacular to see father and son in the same team, I think that if something like this happens, here CR7 shows that he is not only a good father, but that he can make any dream come true, just because of the force of will that has for his son CR7 will be able to hold his Euro and will also be able to play with his son, I think this would be something great and an example to the whole world.

His dominance in the Portugal team is very obvious and this should be the focus of the coach to be able to cover the gap when he is no longer playing.

There is an article here regarding the future of Portugal after the retirement of Ronaldo:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11312473/World-Cup-Portugal-cope-Cristiano-Ronaldo.htmlMost of the people here won't be able to remember the time when he made his debut (2003, when he replaced Luis Figo for the match against Kazakhstan). He has been around for so long (2 decades), that we can't think about a Portugal squad without him. But ultimately Portugal need to find a replacement. Anyway, they have another 1.5 years or so, as Ronaldo has announced that he is intending to represent Portugal during Euro 2024.
Well, one thing is for sure, not only Portugal but several teams must look for their replacement generation, for me one of them is the same son of CR7, which is something that is noticeable, since he asked him to hold on a little longer to see if I can play alongside him in the Portugal national team, it is something that they both bring, possibly they can make it a reality, as a fan, as a father, I would like to see that, I would like my son to follow in my footsteps and to be able to work with him too in the future.
This is something that perhaps every father would like to do, and fulfill, it would be a source of pride, and in football if it is possible and if the son meets expectations, why not?
