Surely it must ever be a hit for England to win a title? At the last European Championship they were very close, but Italy threw a spanner in the works. The last World Cup could have gone very differently if Italy had managed to qualify, but that does not count. England is always one of the favorites to win the title, but personally I think France is at a slightly higher level at the moment. We also see this in the performance of recent years, in which England reached the final of the European Championship once, and has not achieved anything at all in the past 20 years?
France definitely seems to be the best European side at this point. Their performance during Qatar 2022 was exceptional, before going down against a very strong Argentina in the final. And remember that they were without many of their key players, including Paul Pogba and Karim Benzema. The advantage with France is that they have got several younger players in their squad who can replace the senior players in case they get injured. I don't think that any of the other teams (including England) has this advantage right now.
