The Great Debate: What will be the biggest surprise at Euro 2024? | OneFootball

With Poland, Ukraine and Georgia having booked the final three places on Tuesday night, the line-up for the European Championship is now set.

And this week’s Great Debate is Euros-themed as we ask what the biggest surprise will be in Germany.

Don’t forget to let us know in the comments your thoughts on any potential summer shocks.

Who doesn’t love a footballing fairytale? That’s exactly what we got when Georgia booked their passage to this summer’s tournament after downing Greece in a dramatic penalty shootout this week.

With a talisman like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leading from the front and passionate set of supporters described by the Napoli winger as something he hasn’t ‘seen anywhere’, shock qualification out of group comprised of Portugal, Turkey, and Czechia is not the craziest thought.

Perhaps it’s a bit of recency bias after their 6-1 win over Turkey this week, but I like the look of Austria.

Ralf Rangnick didn’t make a great start to his tenure, but his side are currently on a five-match winning run, having recently taken Germany’s scalp in a friendly.

My Euros hot take is that they will make it out of a group containing France, Netherlands and Poland, and maybe get as far as the semi-finals.

Alex Mott

Italy were the surprise champions last time out but three years later things aren’t looking quite so rosy for the Azzurri.

Luciano Spalletti has come in as coach but failed to transpose his Napoli ideas on to the national team.

In Group B alongside Spain, Croatia and Albania, I’m plumping for them to finish third without a win and – depending on other results – fail to make it to the knockout rounds.

We’re long overdue a France capitulation aren’t we? The World Cups of 2002 and 2010 live on in infamy for chaos in the camp and disastrous early exits.

They’ve reached the final of three of the last four major tournaments and do have arguably the world’s best player in their ranks so they should go far again… but I’m having them failing to reach the last four.

Oh, and Scott McTominay to win the Golden Boot too of course.

And now, we want to hear from YOU below.
