The Euro 2024 is coming soon, with the host Germany playing against Scotland on Friday night. There are many possibilities for the championship outcome, but we can expect drama among the countries.

Who will win the tournament and why? Some people believe France will win because of their strong team and ability to perform well in most high-pressure matches and moments. Others believe in Portugal because of its well-balanced midfield, while others believe in Germany because it hosts the championship.

Who will win the Golden Boot, and who will be the best player? Some people believe Mbappe will win the Golden Boot and be the best player because of his dribbling, fast speed, and finishing skills. Kevin De Bruyne also has a chance of being the best player with his assistance, technical skills, vision, and decision-making skills. However, many people are rooting for Toni Kroos because the games are being played in his home country. Toni Kroos is also considered one of the best midfielders in the history of football/soccer with his dribbling, passes, and powerful and accurate shots.

Which player or team will be the biggest disappointment? England might disappoint with all the expectations placed on it, and it will feel disappointing if they don’t meet the expectations. Portugal has many great backups, including Ronaldo, but they don’t use the best players as the main team. People would expect more from Portugal as Ronaldo’s country, but Ronaldo doesn’t play on the field often, and if expectations are not met, fans will be disappointed.
