England finished top of Group C at Euro 2024 and have a potentially favourable run to the final, despite criticism for some disappointing performances. A 1-0 win against Serbia to begin the tournament was followed by a 1-1 draw with Denmark and a drab goalless draw with Slovenia.

Amid question marks over England’s lack of fluidity and guile, Gareth Southgate’s side have managed to avoid the side of the draw that includes France, Germany, Spain and Portugal. With improved performances in the knockout stages, a run to the final again does not seem unachievable.
