A group of death for the Blues at the Euro?

Despite being top seed, the Blues can fear the worst before the draw which will take place on December 2.

France concluded its qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 on a false note. Until then authors of a faultless run with seven victories in as many matches, the Blues had to settle for a draw (2-2) in Greece for their last meeting. Nothing to call into question their first place in their group or even their presence among the five best qualified, all guaranteed to be seeded in the draw for Euro 2024, which will be held on December 2.

This seeded status already ensures that France does not come across Germany, England, Spain, Portugal or Belgium – the other seeded players present in pot 1 – during the group stage. of the Euro. However, the Blues are not immune to a complicated draw, in line with that of Euro 2020, when the Blues had to face Germany, Portugal and Hungary during the group stage. .

In hat 2, the most dangerous team will undoubtedly be Denmark, who also caused problems during the last World Cup, the Blues only winning 2-1 thanks to a goal from Kylian Mbappé in the final minutes of the match. Hat 3 contains several big names in European football, including the Netherlands, certainly losing ground, and Croatia, semi-finalist of the last World Cup. Finally, Italy, which had great difficulty qualifying for this Euro, will appear in hat 4, where it will act as a scarecrow alongside Switzerland, the executioner of the Blues during the last Euro.

Worst draw for the Blues: France, Denmark, Croatia, Italy.
