This summer, the attention of all Europe will be focused on Germany. The 17th European Championship will see the 24 strongest teams from the continent compete. There are 37 days left before the start of the tournament, which will last from June 14 to July 14.
İdman.biz continues to present the participants of EURO 2024. This week we present the teams from Group A. Like hosts Germany and Switzerland, another team in this group, Scotland, is also a contender to reach the round of 16.
Erling Haaland was not allowed into Germany
Scotland were expected to compete for second place in the qualifying round. Norway and Georgia were considered the main rivals of the British in the group, where Spain had already been tipped for first place. The Tartan Army got off to a great start at the start of the competition. The Scots, who won 5 victories in a row, even beat Spain. Despite losing points in the last three rounds, Steve Clark’s team took 2nd place. Norway, under the leadership of Erling Haaland, did not make it to the final stage in Germany.
In my first dream
This is not the first European Championship for Scotland. In the last century, the British participated in the finals of the championships twice. They also took part in EURO 2020. The “Tartan Army”, which three years ago experienced the excitement of the final stage for the first time in the 21st century, will now “attack” Germany. In their first three attempts at the final stages of the European Championships, Scotland did not make it out of the group. The team’s fans hope that their team will eventually overcome the group barrier.
Forward with the stars of the Premier League
Most members of the Scotland team play in the English Premier League. Team leaders Andrew Robertson and Scott McTominay wear the uniforms of such giants as Liverpool and Manchester United. The likelihood that their team will qualify from the group at EURO 2024 is quite high. “Army” has a chance in the fight against Switzerland and Hungary in a group where Germany is considered the favorite. Clarke’s team could also be among the top third teams to reach the round of 16. Of course, it will be easier for the Scots if they start as well as they did earlier in qualifying. But the fact that in the first round they will meet the hostess of the tournament may interfere with this desire of the British.
