France is just something different, they are not playing at the same level as everyone else. I mean this team will be winning the cup unless something major happens and that's an important thing to remember. I personally hope that the best thing we could do at this moment is to make sure that it is going as smooth as it gets.

It is not going to be easy to do that but it should be something much better than last time they played it. They showed themselves in the world cup just recently as well, even though they lost, they beat everyone easily until the finals and finals was just a mere seconds away before they missed the last shot, and then penalties. I think Netherlands is nowhere near that level and was an expected upset.

France has consistent performance after success lead to final World Cup and has chance with Euro 2024, even squad composition in all positions is a positive side for Deschamp to make France more favored at Euro 2024. Beside Germany as host as the one national team favorite by winning Euro 2024 after longer time always miss become the winner.
France has quit well performance last World Cup and this national team looks consistent depend on achievement on last two games in qualifier, I think 80% chance for France as the winner in Euro 2024.

I can agree with your thinking that France is the main favorite at EURO 2024.
In fact, the main rival of the French is not other teams but themselves.
If it wasn't for the conflict between France main players over Benzema return to the team, which damaged relations within the team, France would probably have been world champions again.
The same thing happened at the last EURO when France played shamefully and was eliminated in the early stages of the competition by Switzerland.
Honestly, I don't really trust Germany, they have been on a steep decline since the 2014 World Cup.
