France has the most depth of any team in the world. They maybe just lack a pure number 10 like Zidane was before. But in terms of forwards, defenders they are the best team.

I think so, when Upamecano and Pavard are your starting defensive players. England has more depth, people just see Mbappe project his quality on players who are slightly overrated. Just look at England at right-back where you have Walker, Reece James, TAA, Trippier and Rico Lewis. That is 4 champions league winners. England have squad of 50 players, I don’t think France has that level of depth.

@@Delboy0 France has like 8 centre backs who would start for most teams. Like Disassi, Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, Konate, Mendy etc... In terms of forwards there are Coman, Mbappe, Kolo Muani, Dembele, Thuram, Giroud. A lot of good DM as well, like Tchoameni, Camavinga, Kamara. A bunch of good players who would start for most teams like Moussa Diaby, Zouma aren't even called up. So no England is not even close.

@@Delboy0 You get this feeling becasue you dont watch European football.. I'm sure you convinced your 2016 squad was the best or the 1998 as well..France is the most succesful team for the last 25 years, they are use to big competitions.. England has done nothing.. I think a bit more humilty would be helpful
France has reached 4 WC finals and 3 EURO finals in last 40 yrs while england has only 1 WC final and 1 EURO final in nearly 60 yrs.france undoubtedly are better in major tournaments

well germany DID right? won 2:1...and that BEFORE the coach change. So, i dont really agree france is by far not as unbeatable as they were years ago. Id even go as far as to say this will be one of the MOST OPEN EM's we had in a VERY LONG TIME.

@@Marrab2bottled it? Even the French themselves admit they got lucky and the ref was in their corner. England were dominant for a good 2/3 of the game.
Usually I agree with Nedum but he obviously didn't see the tackle on Højlund. Højlund literally gets a knee delibirately in the back. He confirmed himself that he could hear them agreeing to target him since he, you know, speaks Italian
France is winning it completely..Messi diehard Fan here and I can't wait for Mbappe to win the Euros and shut those deluded Bellingham and Haaland fans up.. He'll show He's the best player in the world by miles 😎

England outplayed France in the last World Cup and only appalling performance by the referee allowed France to win where denied England two clear penalties and France’s first goal should not of counted because of Saka was clearly fouled before tHe goal. If a normal ref had been in that game England would have won comfortably. I think France have star players like Mbappe whose top level is beyond any of the England players, but I think England more quality depth. When Upamecano and Pavard are starting in your defence that doesn’t say you have great depth. England just in right-back 4 of the top 5 best rights backs in world football in Walker, James, Trippier and TAA and doesn’t include Rico Lewis one of best young fullbacks in Europe, conference league and u21 euro winner Ben Johnson. England might not have an Mbappe, but they have 50 to 60 players who can all play international football well thanks to the quality of the EPL. This makes England very dangerous in tournament football, when they can bring on many subs and not have much quality drop off. The only thing stopping me saying England are favourites is Southgate. If England had a top class coach I would have no problem saying they were favourites.

Everyone seems to find it normal that Germany organizes the competition twice in a row?
Honestly, how does a podcast by reputable ESPN look like it has less production value than The Kick Off? The lighting, the camera quality, and the audio... Take this as an input, Mr. and Mrs. Producers. I like ESPN. I just want it improves.
Another big issues regarding England's possible Euro 2024 triumph is the schedule conflict between the national teams and the club. If any of 4 Premier League clubs still competing in the Champions League reached the Final, which is ironically held at Wembley, the players have only a short period of break between the Champions League Final and several last games before the Euro 2020 kick-off. In 2021, the Champions League Final involving two English clubs happened a few days before England played two friendlies before Euro 2020, which is against Austria and Romania.
