England is often the favorite team but often fails to achieve high achievements, especially in the European Cup after decades ago its best performance was ranked 3rd, only after that it made it to the final only to lose again, so even in the European Cup this time there will still be doubts about them being able to reach final because other teams look more solid when playing in an international tournament which England often doesn't have, and France will be the most favorite and also host team Germany which doesn't look good at the World Cup.
Right now, there is a large gap between France and other UEFA teams. And I would say that in case all of their players are fit, then France will lift the trophy without any effort in 2024. England comes close, but they have issues with consistency. Italy and Spain do have some promising younger players, but they are not performing well at international level. I don't want to talk too much about the dying teams such as Germany, Danmark and Netherlands. They are going down the drain, and I don't think that they will stay relevant to international football in the long term.
French national team is the golden generation for now where the composition of their players is still very young and of course they have quite a lot of experience and playing minutes with the big teams in Europe. After Hugo Lloris left, who retired, the French national team was not too burdened because Mike Maignan have quit well perform with AC Milan would be able to fill the goalkeeper position. Left with center forward as the weakness from France because Karim Benzema have announced retired from national team and difficult finding with new center forward after Giroud not the first option with his team AC Milan.
