I left betting on national teams after the World Cup ended but Germany were one of the best playing teams in the World Cup. They just had issues with finishing and said farewell to the tourney in group stage unluckily. I see Germans as favourites of the tourney with their host country advantage as a result.

don't get fooled by the fact that the Euro will be played in Germany, if you think Germany can win it as a team, it's fine you do you, but because they are the host it doesn't mean anything, we saw what happened to Brazil in 2014 world cup, it's rare where a host wins the tournament, who i actually think can win it is England, they have some young talents that can get them the trophy and it's been a long time since they won something.

It seems to me that German national football has been in crisis for a long time. After the 2014 world title in Brazil, they did nothing in the world competitions and were eliminated twice in a row in the group stage of the world championship, which is no coincidence.
Honestly, regardless of the fact that they are the hosts of the next European Championship, I don't see them as favorites for the title.
At the European Championship, I expect the most from the French, England, Spain and Italy.

@Daniel91 Germanys football used to be so great once upon a time, but now a days they play really bad but since its in their home country I sincerely hope that they will perform well at least for the sake of their citizens. However I dont expect them to win it, because I expect France or England to win it because they have really good players who can help them win it.

I think that now Germany must make a mix of its best players, the oldest and the youngest, perhaps the youngsters are not afraid of the veterans and that is an advantage, but they do not have experience and in a game you need to have experience to deal with certain things, even with arbitration, so if veterans join the team, and youngsters, the team will have a better integration, it will be more complete as I had said before, let's just look at what Spain did in the World Cup, it took only youngsters And they still got kicked out, veterans are always needed in a team so they can do things better.

For me personally, it's actually a surprise to see the big decline of the German national team after the great games at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil when they became world champions.
I actually expected them to continue playing at the same level and be competitive still in all the major competitions after 2014, but that didn't happen.
Maybe they didn't do the generational change well? Is something else the problem? It's really hard to give a good answer.
German clubs are still good and achieve good results in European club competitions, but the national team has not been at the expected level for a long time.
As I said before, I don't think they will be favorites at the European Championship next year, but as the hosts they will still have an advantage that they can use.

Yes, I really hoped that Germany could have a very high level of football, however it is as you say, they did not show much, I think they lacked a lot to give, perhaps these times have made players take more care of themselves for their clubs, 'for not get injured and the goalkeeper passes him, although one thing that is very different is to play for the country of origin and give everything, I think that these things can be fixed with the new generations, but always with the experience of the players who are quite old, since they can give them advice to be able to face world-class commitments, this is one of the things that can influence a team, without a doubt Germany will have a good advantage for being local.

I think it's the end of the story for Ronaldo to play in the national team. From the manager of Portugal, but also from Ronaldo himself? At the last World Cup it was clear that there was no starting place for Ronaldo anymore. And Ronaldo won't feel like it anymore either. Moreover, he is now also continuing his career in Saudi Arabia, where the level is a lot lower than in the competitions in Europe where he and his current teammates played. And his age is gradually starting to play a role as well. You can't stay on top forever, even if you want to. Germany has a lot to put right after both eliminations and exits from the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in which they were knocked out in the group stages both times. They are playing all games at home, the biggest advantage you can imagine.

Ronaldo has achieved so much in his career and I don't think that he is much concerned about representing Portugal in Euro 2024 or North America 2026. Even if he had any concerns, that might have vanished after the harsh treatment meted out to him by Fernando Santos during Qatar 2022. And I believe that this is the best thing to do, both for Ronaldo and for Portugal team as a whole. Because younger players need to be groomed. They need to take up responsibility, so that they will be ready for the 2026 World Cup.

I don't think CR7 will stop playing, for me he will be a benchmark of a great example for the other players, I think he can have a great impact on all footballers who are between 38 and 40 years old, because he will show that age does not It doesn't matter if you have a great training session, in 2023 there has been a lot of speculation about him, some say that he will leave Al Nassr and yes, he will finish his career in Europe, but in which Equiop? It is not known, he may go to Portugal forever if they do not want him in the teams that are in their leagues such as the PL, Ligue 1, Bundesliga or the League.

I do not deny it, I am a fan of CR7 and I would like to see him at 41 as an example, but this time both Bruno Fernandez and his team collaborate so that they can generate better football and have better results in their national team, but yes There are selfishness as I saw in the World Cup in Qatar that is totally inadmissible.
