It\u2019s been a while since England have been reasonably confident that they\u2019ll go the distance in an international tournament. England fans may have been singing, \u201cIt\u2019s coming home\u201d for decades but the team itself has usually downplayed its chances. That\u2019s all about to change this summer when Euro 2024 offers the side its best chance for a trophy since they lifted the World Cup back in 1966.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, as we see, that confidence is pretty well justified. Though it\u2019s far from a certainty, there are plenty of good reasons why England may finally taste victory again on July 14th.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Golden Generation<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s an obvious reason why England will go into the tournament with confidence, and that\u2019s simply that they\u2019ve never had a better squad than they do right now. The media labelled the Beckham, Gerrard, Rooney, and Lampard era \u2018The Golden Generation,\u2019 but the current England team is arguably even more talented \u2014 and they don\u2019t have the flashy ego of the players of the past, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and<\/span> John Stones<\/span><\/a> are probably the best four players for their positions in Europe. Those talented players are supported by footballers who could reasonably get into any club side in the world. It\u2019s a team that\u2019s stacked with talent. On their day, they\u2019ll fancy their chances against any team.<\/span><\/p>\n

England: Leading the Pack\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

England look like a good side at the moment. But that\u2019s not the only reason why<\/span> sports betting online platforms like Betano<\/span><\/a> have made England favourites to win Euro 2024. It\u2019s also, in part, because of the problems that other leading national teams currently face. Unlike in previous tournaments, the competition for victory isn\u2019t quite as fierce. Teams like Spain, Germany, Italy, and Portugal aren\u2019t as strong as they have been in years past, and even France, next on the list of favourites for victory, are more vulnerable than they were at the World Cup. This slight dip in quality throughout Europe will give England extra belief that they can finally end their trophy drought.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experience and Developing Talent<\/h2>\n

Take a look at teams who win trophies and you\u2019ll usually find that there\u2019s a nice balance between youthful and more experienced players. England currently has that balance to perfection. At the senior end, you have players such as<\/span> Harry Kane<\/span><\/a>, Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Jordan Henderson, all of whom have first-hand experience of playing in some of football\u2019s biggest games. Then you have young players such as Saka, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, and Kobbie Mainoo, all of whom will have something to prove in an England shirt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those players, put together, have all the qualities you look for in a team, and there\u2019s arguably no other country that is as finely balanced.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Favourable Draw<\/h2>\n

There are no \u2018easy games\u2019 at international tournament level. But there are <\/span>easier<\/span><\/i> games \u2014 and England have them. England jumped to the top of the likely Euro 2024 winners\u2019 list following the announcement of the draw, which saw Southgate\u2019s team scheduled to play Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia. Those games are far from a formality, but they\u2019re definitely winnable. They present an opportunity for England to get into the rhythm of the tournament before they come up against sterner opposition. After the group stage, they\u2019ll likely face Turkey and Italy in the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals respectively, two sides who are struggling for form.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s About Time<\/h2>\n

Finally, perhaps the last reason why England will be confident they can win a trophy is that it\u2019s about time they win an international tournament. It\u2019s been nearly sixty years since they last won a trophy, and though they\u2019ve been somewhat close in tournaments since then, they\u2019ve never quite made it. Unwanted records must be broken at some stage, and looking at it objectively, England will never have a better chance to win a trophy than this summer. If they can, they\u2019ll go down in history.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
