I can't believe it how come Italy is the winner last EURO edition is not favorite for winning EURO 2024? seems crazy with this odds predicting because Italy success defeated England in final last EURO 2020 is not favorite team? however not qualify in World Cup 2022 its not comparison why Italy have bigger odds or not favorite in EURO 2024. I think beside Germany as host keep believing with magician from Italy success back to back winning EURO.

I would agree with this argument. Italy may not be as strong as France (or even England, despite the fact that they destroyed England during the finals of Euro 2020). But there is no way Italy can be placed so much below teams like Germany. I guess a lot of people tend to ignore Italy, since they were not there in Qatar 2022. Italy has remained out of spotlight for some time. I would say that Italy is one of the favorites to win Euro Cup this time and they have a good team balance and team bonding unlike some of the other top teams in this competition.

I agree, Italy has a quality national team that also plays in the final tournament of the League of Nations in June.
In fact, it is difficult to explain how they failed to qualify for the last 2 world cups but Italy didn't forget to play football and has a very high-quality national team.
After all, Italy is the current champion of Europe, they are an experienced team with a very good defense. Italy should never be underestimated.
Unlike Italy, the German national team is in a big decline after the 2014 world title in Brazil, and they were a big disappointment at the last world cup in Qatar.
I think that Germany is definitely not the favorite at this EURO.

germany is a big disaster, they don't have a big squad of players like in the past, that's why i don't see any reason to expect them to bring great results like winning the euro, i don't see italy as a strong team either, in my opinion england, france, portugal and belgium (begium is not going very far in this euro, honestly) are national teams that have great players in their squad, which is why they have a good quality of play, in the case of espenha and another team that fell a lot in terms of quality in recent years, I do not understand what happened to spain, italita and germany being that they are countries

that have very important leagues, maybe the fact that in the big teams of their leagues they don't have very important players that are from the country is being the problem, for example in the case of spain we have real madrid and barcelona that don't have spanish players like their players more important, in italy the same thing, in napoli, inter and milan and juventus doesn't have a player who is italian as the most important of the team, in germany the same thing, in bayern not a very important player who scores a lot of goals constantly that be german

in my opinion portugal, france and england should be the only teams as big favorites, portugal has great players in its squad and has all good conditions to win the euro

It is very difficult to say why such great soccer nations like Germany and Italy are in crisis. German and Italian clubs are very successful in European club competitions, but their national teams are not, with the exception of Italy at the last EURO.
For me, the main favorites at the EURO are France, England, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, but also Croatia as a hidden favorite.
The national team that has Modrić and won 2 medals at the last 2 world cups simply can't be underestimated.
However, in my opinion, France has the best chance.
