Here's our power rankings of the best teams at Euro 2024, including a truly historic rivalry.
Any bog-standard men’s soccer fan will tell you there are really only three tournaments worth following. The World Cup (duh). The Champions League (one of the coolest ideas we’ve ever seen in sports). And, of course, the Euros, a somewhat isolated celebration of the sport on the continent where it was invented. For a good reason, it is widely considered the second-most important trophy in the game.
Roughly three years after a dramatic Final win for Italy, this Friday will kick off Euro 2024 all over host Germany. And thank goodness because do you want to know the best part about this tournament? Dark horses seem to have a genuine chance of winning!
This century, champions like Greece (2004), Portugal (2016), and Italy (2020) were all considered massive upsets at the time. The moral of the story? The cream of the crop doesn’t always rise to the top here. (Sorry, Randy Savage.)
As this barnburner of a tournament gets underway soon, let’s power rank the best teams in the tournament by their chances of winning the whole thing in Berlin in mid-July. All odds courtesy of BetMGM.
