 Euro 2024 Power Rankings: France on Top, Germany, England Follow

The UEFA European Football Championship, commonly known as the Euro 2024, is fast approaching and here are the power rankings, from bottom to top. Ukraine stands at 12th place, with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Artem Dovbyk listed as potential difference-makers. Denmark takes 11th place with the experienced team of 30-plus year-olds questioned about their ability to replicate the intense style they showcased in 2021.
Austria, led by Ralf Rangnick, holds the 10th spot. Austria's press-friendly style coupled with a midfield stocked with energy and Rangnick's leadership makes Austria one to watch. Netherlands with injury-prone players question their ability to hold their place in 9th.

Croatia, equipped with a blend of youth and experience, occupies the 8th position. Their performance in this championship could be a game-changer if the management balances the game-time of the players efficiently. Italy, the defending champions, unfortunately, failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, leading them to 7th place in these rankings.
Challenges on the defensive side leave Belgium at the 6th place despite a team full of stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Jérémy Doku. At no. 5, Spain questions if it can make its possessions count amidst tough competitions.
Germany, with revived hopes and boosted morale from recent victories, takes the 4th spot. The emotional power of Toni Kroos's retirement could also add motivation to the team. England, propelled by world-class attackers like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Phil Foden, occupies the 3rd position. However, uncertainty in the back line, especially in crunch situations, holds them back from being on top.

Portugal, having won all of their qualifying round games, stands 2nd in the power rankings. However, weaker opposition in the qualifiers casts a sliver of doubt over their actual abilities in the championship.
Finally, France tops the chart. With a tactically disciplined and highly talented team led by Kylian Mbappé, they are the favorites to clinch the Euro 2024 title. Despite some injuries and departures of veteran players, France's incredible depth still makes them the team to beat. With all this in place, Euro 2024 looks to be a promising and competitive championship.
