UK (Commonwealth) _ Sir Geoff Hurst thinks England can win Euro 2024 this summer and put an end to their nearly 60 years of suffering. “We have a great chance of winning the European Championship this summer.” Mr. Geoff stated to the media.
The 1966 World Cup final hero has hailed the Three Lions squad’s embarrassing wealth and insisted that Gareth Southgate has the greatest youthful talent in Europe. Sir Geoff has also jumped to Southgate’s defense, saying that the England manager did a great job when his team made it to the final of Euro 2020 and the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
Gareth has shown amazing leadership, and it’s impressive that they made it to both the World Cup semifinals and the Euro Final. A few years back, there was a phase in which players believed that playing European football for a club had greater significance than representing their nation.
All of that has changed under Southgate, but I know some people will continue to be dissatisfied with the way he arranges England’s play. However, you see his actions and methods of operation. We have a fantastic opportunity because there has been a significant advancement.
While some of our tournament achievements have been stunning, some of the international managers haven’t done so well. .. However, I won’t be shocked if we prevail this summer. Though it will be challenging, I believe we have THE greatest group of young players. Unsurprisingly, the 82-year-old gave special recognition to Jude Bellingham, a former Birmingham City academy product who is having an incredible debut season with Real Madrid.
With 20 goals scored so far this season, Bellingham leads Madrid in all competitions. If he continues to play at his club level for his nation, England will be in a strong position to add their name to the trophy at the European Championships.
“Jude Bellingham is a phenomenal talent; his accomplishments in his career to date are astounding.” “Since moving to Real Madrid, he seems to be unable to stop scoring.” That demonstrates his incredible skill as a gamer. But what’s amazing is that Jude is only one of a fantastic group of young athletes. It’s incredible that he is now 20 years old, and he is intelligent. Additionally, he seems like a kind boy who isn’t doing anything ridiculous.
I have nothing but praise for him. However, we have a great opportunity since he’s only one of several young English players who will only become better. The bookies see England as the pre-tournament favorites, ahead of France, Germany, and Spain, That’s what people are expecting from the current group of players.
Beginning on June 14 in Germany, England is paired with Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia in Group C for the upcoming Euro 2024. During this month’s international break, the Three Lions will play two friendly against Brazil (March 23) and Belgium (March 26).
