Euro 2024 Power Rankings: France Reign Supreme, Germany Lag Behind England

The road to Euro 2024 is just beginning, but early power rankings are already stirring excitement amongst football fans. France, fresh off a World Cup Final appearance, sits comfortably at the top, boasting a squad brimming with talent and experience. Led by the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema, and Antoine Griezmann, Les Bleus are a formidable force on the international stage.

England, on the other hand, has surged in recent years, culminating in a Euro 2020 final appearance and a World Cup quarterfinal. Gareth Southgate’s men, with the likes of Harry Kane, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka, are a force to be reckoned with. Interestingly, they are placed above Germany in these early rankings.

Germany, despite their rich history, has faced recent struggles. The 2018 World Cup exit and the Euro 2020 Round of 16 elimination highlight their decline. While Hansi Flick has brought some stability, the Die Mannschaft still face a fight to regain their former glory and challenge for the European crown.

Other notable teams in the rankings include Spain, Italy, and Portugal, all of whom are expected to be strong contenders. The Netherlands and Belgium, with their own blend of experience and emerging talent, are also poised to make a mark on the tournament.

With the qualifiers already underway, the landscape of the tournament is already shifting. While these power rankings offer a snapshot of current form, the true contenders will emerge over the coming months as teams battle it out for a place in Germany in 2024.
