Friendly games do not really look like it would be something that could indicate how teams are going to play during the other times, I feel like we should just consider how things will turn out differently. I am not saying that we are going to see teams make a big difference or anything like that, I am just saying that we should not base how teams will do just from the friendly games at all.
I believe that France and England do have a proper chance to make it work, and I think they are going to end up with something that will change some things if given enough chance. These two teams just have way too much power and talent, it would be very unlikely for any other team to end up winning the cup, I do not see a third team even close to them.
This friendly match is just a trial and of course only used as research material for the coaches to be able to determine the right strategy when the actual competition starts (Euro). So it's true, we can't measure a team's ability just from friendly matches. The reason is, friendly matches can be used as an opportunity to trick your opponent into not being able to read his playing style. So it is not surprising that in friendly matches ahead of Euro 2024, there are leading countries that experience defeats or draws against countries that are not very strong. For example, England lost against Iceland and France drew against Canada.
In fact, as we know, England and France have many very great players at the moment. If you think about it logically, it doesn't make sense that England and France could lose or draw against a country that is not very strong. But as I said, all of this could be a strategy used to trick his opponents at the Euros. Because it is true, if we compare the countries currently entering the Euro, England and France have a very big chance compared to other countries to win this edition of the Euro.
But even so, the friendly match was still very interesting to watch. And today there are also several countries that will compete, and I think I will watch one of those matches.
