Well, it is obvious that each person has a way of thinking about CR7, personally if I consider that he is one of the best in the world, what does his temperament have? Yes but why? because he wants to win all the time, which he will say, if you are in the Portugal team you have to give it all, that nothing is left, that your soul remains on the field, as it should be, it is your country that you are representing, And when he sees that his teammates don't give it their all, he gets like that, and I understand it, how many of us haven't gotten like that when we play soccer and see that others don't feel like it? are we happy? maybe when you play for the sake of playing, but in a championship you have to give everything, and that he has played 700 legal games with his country, that he scored the goal, that is worth seeing, for me he is still the best in the world next to Messi , and personally no other player of the quality of the two of them has come out.

I know that and forever Ronaldo will remain an idol and a legend in the history of Portuguese football.
While playing for the Portugal national team, Ronaldo scored 122 goals in 198 matches and this is an extraordinary achievement that Ronaldo has given to the Portugal national team.
But on the other hand, from his great achievements, he is also often a controversial player and has always been a hot topic of conversation by all football fans and observers.

Right after France I would favour England for the Euro 2024 title honestly. France are already a clear favourite now but nothing is guaranteed of course. They can always a face a team that know how to play against them to capture the advantage. Can it be England? Why wouldn't they? I watched their most recent head-to-head and England played really decently against them. Maybe France still won but it wasn't an easy one for them.

Watching a finale between France and England in the Euro 2024 would be really interesting to watch. The host country is Germany maybe but they are really in a desperate condition now with the current generation.

I only suspect that hope arises because the rankings of the two countries are close together in the world, France is second after Argentina and England is fourth after Brazil. England has indeed performed well in recent years, while France need not be doubted because even though they failed at the World Cup they provided resistance which was not easy for Argentina at that time, but for some reason I always doubted England, they had not won a title in quite a while, the previous European Cup was the best chance they had but failed and that was quite painful, and this time the European Cup I also thought the same that they would not be able to become champions even though it was too early to say that, English players often performed below expectations unlike when at the club.
This time the European Cup has Germany as the host and they have also performed poorly for a long time, maybe there will be surprises that will be shown later, and can become one of the challengers for the championship unless there is no improvement after failing several times in the European Cup and World Cup.

Argentina will survive without Messi. They have good depth in player pool. But I can't say whether they will be able to defend the trophy in 2026 without Messi

Argentina will continue to exist without Messi just like they continued their national team existence without Maradona many years after his retirement. Many players were considered as new Maradona but only Messi came closely to Maradona or we can say he is already bigger than Maradona?

Next few years, after Messi announce his retirement, we will see more young players considered as new Messi, Messi Jr. This will put more pressure on those youth players and not only few of them can grow up their career well. Maybe only one player will surpass Messi but will it happen soon or we will have to wait like 50 or 100 more years to see such player?

They have a very well balanced team with youngsters like Julián Álvarez, Nicolás González, Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández providing enough support to veteran players like Ángel Di María, Rodrigo De Paul and Messi. France also have a similar setup, but then the ci-ordination between different payers is not that great. Argentina on the other hand has excellent team cohesion.

Only Julian and Enzo are young enough to have good fitness in World Cup 2026. Allister is not old but three more years can change many things for a football player and he is not too young like Julian and Enzo.

Argentina always have many football talents but they might have some years with crisis like Brazil now. A good team have to play well without star and super star players because firstly they might not have such players and they can suddenly miss those players by injuries.

I never really liked Ronaldo.... Yes, of course as a player he is one of the best in the world, but his behaviour in the team did cause a lot of controversy.... There were even rumours that when he played at Real Madrid, he could tell the coach which player would play and which would not be in the team.... But luckily now there is a new generation of good footballers growing up in the Portuguese national team....

Argentina is a great team developing itself in these last years with Messi as an even greater team,they lost the final of the World Cup in 2014 and they won it in 2022 so their form was excellent and it was the best team of the whole World Cup.In the Euro though France yes it is the most promising team to win the Euro but let's not forget Germany who is the host and is playing in front of their home fans willing to ask a forgiveness for what they achieved in the last years and wanting to be one of the most prestigious teams like they deserve too,then of course England is the best team,let's also not forget a very young age as a team for Spain who are growing together,I think it will be disputed between these teams the Euro 2024.

I am not sure if they will be as good, but they already won a world cup so I do not think that it will matter all that much. They do have a decent number of players but I do not think that they are good enough to win anything anymore, it's not just about Messi or not, you can put a 30 year old Messi into this club and it would still be hard.

It's a marvelous achievement that they won the world cup, it was definitely a great success but I do not see their team talented enough anymore, they just do not look like it to me. Maybe I am mistaken, after all they won the world cup title, so they must be good, but to me the roster itself is not that amazing, look at the roster and valuations to see what I am trying to say here.

[rdluffy]

@rdluffy, maybe you'll be interested in how Croatian institutions treat some Croatian players and how they time indictments in order to try at all costs to force Modric to no longer play for the national team. These days it is unbelievable to see some Croatian media calling for a boycott of the national team and are particularly cruel towards Modric and Lovren.

Of course, you should know that many in Croatia hate everything that has to do with any national team, but that's the case in a country ruled by the children of communists and fans of one of the greatest criminals in the history, Broz Tito.

https://www.insideworldfootball.com/2023/07/03/modric-lovren-face-new-croatian-trial-transfer-fraud/

Hey Lucius, I'm sorry I took so long to answer, I didn't see your mention (it's time to me to use the notification bot)

I confess I didn't know about this boycott they are trying to get Modric not to play for the national team anymore, he has 1 year to retire more or less.
I thought it was all right since they had testified in court and were absolved.

I find it particularly difficult to understand these things without living in the country (as is my case), but I know how the media / politics work when they want to interfere in something and even without being right, they manage to damage reputations or harm many people

I hope everything works out again and both players can prove their innocence and Modric can finish his career in the national team in a dignified way as he has been so far.
The bad thing about this is that things like this can shake the structure of a team

In your opinion, are there any real chances that either of the two players will actually be arrested?

@Daniel91 Belgium and Netherlands have such a rich diversified squad of player’s and yet they struggle to compete and I just can’t understand why they’re unable to make use of their player’s. Furthermore I see nothing wrong with Croatia being placed second because they have shown that hunger to win and thus I expect them to compete fearlessly in the future too.

Both teams, Belgium and Netherlands have a lot of similarities: great players, great structure, good results during the qualifiers, good results in the FIFA ranking, and they even manage to beat some bigger teams along the way, but there is still something missing that cannot be explained, it seems like that tradition thing, like Real Madrid does in Champions League even though they are bad during the season

I've seen Netherlands play historic games that they looked unbeatable, they've had teams that could even win the world cup, like in 1994, 1998. And Belgium too, in 2014 and 2018 I thought they could win the world title, but they didn't

Both teams can make a good euro 24 and reach at least quarter-finals

I don't want to make a judgement based on the valuation. Anyway, at this point Argentina looks like the strongest team to me (even without Messi). It may be due to the fact that they have very good players and team bonding. Or maybe due to the fact that the other teams are in decline (especially the ones from UEFA confederation). IMO, there are no other team at the same level where Argentina is right now. I would say that Brazil and France are one level below Argentina. Take out Neymar and you will find Brazil unable to compete in a meaningful way against Argentina.

Netherlands seem a little more promising than Belgium to me to be honest. I'm saying this considering the recent performances of both teams in the most recent tournament they joined. In the last World Cup Belgium seemed really poor. They couldn't even qualify from the group stage. Netherlands made it to the quarter finals and resisted the champion Argentina really strongly by barely losing by penalty shootouts.

Considering only this situation Netherlands have a bigger potential to reach a better stage to me. Belgium technically have had a really great generation but they haven't been able to take advantage of it. And the reason behind is really unbelievable. If the players didn't have personal issues between each other maybe we would have already seen Belgium winning a Euro tournament for once at least.

Do they though? I get that their goalkeeper had some great saves, but would you consider him one of the best? I wouldn't. Look at their defense, do you really consider any of them as one of the best defenders? They are not top 5 in their position, none of them. They do have a decent midfield, and without Messi that midfield looks like it's just good, not great, not best, just good.

I feel like Argentina doesn't really have a great roster, they do have one of the best team chemistries in the world right now and with world cup that went up even more, they are literally a family at this point but I do not think that they are more talented than others. In any case, Messi will be there, and when you have Messi, you may end up getting a win anyway.

Well. Argentina do have the most valuable player (Lionel Messi) right now. And now coming to other players, I agree that they don't get included if we create a list of top-5 for each position (Emi Martinez IMO is one of the top-5 keepers though). But they work together fantastically as a team. At this point, Argentina has the best team bonding for any of the teams. This is something that is sorely lacking with UEFA teams like France and England. Don't get me started on the fight between Adrien Rabiot on one side and Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe on the other, in which some of the family members got involved.

Yeah, but Netherlands lost both of their games in the UEFA Nations League last month. I know that UEFA Nations League is not considered as a serious competition, but they played ar home and it was for the title so I guess they gave their best to win. I'm not saying that they are a bad team, but I don't see them reaching high stage in the Euro next year. But I do think they are a better team than Belgium.

If you know that it's not considered a serious competition (basically an official friendly) you know that it didn't matter at all. I am not saying Netherlands is a great team, they haven't been all that great for a while now, but I believe that we are going to end up with a different result one way or another. The best thing we can do at this moment would be making sure that we avoid betting on their game, I wouldn't bet on them to win, but I also wouldn't bet on them losing.

I feel the same about Italy for example, unless they are playing some terrible team, I am not betting on them to win, but not betting on them to lose neither, it's definitely a difficult one to predict. Some teams are like that, they can beat France but lose to Sri Lanka, ok maybe not that much but you get what I mean.

I completely agree with this.
The teams that were the most disappointing in the last major world and European competitions, such as France, Brazil or Germany, have great individual players but lack team spirit and unity.
It is not enough to gather great individuals and expect that the national team will only win and win trophies by inertia.
At the last EURO, when France lost sensationally, it seems to me to Switzerland, and dropped out of the competition early, it was said that the relations between the players in the French team were very bad.
At the world championship in Qatar, they had a serious problem because of Benzema, who the key players of the team did not want, and this reflected on the team's spirit. It is difficult to say whether they would have become world cus again with Benzema, but the damage has certainly been done.

Just watch these two teams play (Argentina and France), and it is very evident. I have never noticed anyone in Argentine squad playing selfishly. They readily pass the ball, depending on the situation and circumstances. But with France, I have noticed several times that their players waste golden opportunities to score, just because they don't want to pass the ball and try to score the goal by themselves. France maybe having some of the best players in the world. But nothing can be done if the players don't trust each other.

Yes, it is an old truth that a lot of good football players does not necessarily mean a very good team.
France played very well at the 2018 World Cup and deservedly became the world champion.
However, this great generation of France, probably the best in their history, should and had to do much more.
They did't manage to become European champions, and at the last EURO they sensationally lost to Switzerland after major conflicts in the team.
They were second to last in the League of Nations, and at the world cup last year in Qatar, they again had problems with relationships in the team.
However, if they solve the problems in the relations between the players, they will again be big favorites at EURO next year.

It's true what you said, in fact most of the players in the French National Team are naturalized from other countries. Personally, the egoism that is shown is not based on the origin of the player but rather on his star status at club level and individual fan base. The role of the coach and seniority is very important to reduce the attitude of fellow players on the field so that the final goal is to win the match. Didier Deschamps' squad in the Euro 2024 qualifiers was mostly made up of young players overall, otherwise only Giroud and Griezmann are over 30+.

Specifically, I would say that a player who is selfish above the average other players in the French squad is Mbappe, yes, I think it's natural because he is the main focus of the team. Maybe he will become a permanent captain to replace the role of Hugo Lloris who retired from the national team.

Yes, the KDB himself said that this generation of the Belgian team was the strongest but did not win anything, and I think he not only stated the fact, but also meant that this generation had already passed its peak. When compared with the young Netherlands team, it is obvious that they are more promising, although maybe right now they can be weaker than Belgium.
But fans of the Belgian team should not lose heart - the randomness is large in international tournaments and maybe Belgium will still win something even if they are not at their peak.

I think that is really important to mention. The randomness is so high that in almost every tournament we have one of these surprising teams like it was Morocco in Qatar. But they often have one thing in common and that is that they have two or three leaders who can keep pushing the whole team during a tournament and who have lots of experience in playing on the highest level. For me Belgium counts to those teams that can make any top team stumble. When De Bruyne plays his best and they go all out, there is no easy win against them ever.

Most of the French players are born and brought up in France, and only a few are naturalized (although majority are of immigrant origin). So I don't think that it is an issue. I haven't noticed any team bonding issues with teams like England and Netherlands, although they are also having mostly immigrant squads. I am disappointed that despite having so many great players, France fails to perform well at major tournaments. They reached the final of 2022 Qatar world, but in the end it was a meek surrender to Lionel Messi's Argentina.

@Sithara007 French failed because they were not entirely united and failed to get Benzema back in time even when he was cleared to participate due to reasons unknown to us. Furthermore Mbappe will definitely be dominating the French squad and even the coach clearly supports him but I’m waiting to see if Pogba returns will the squad be divided or they’ll continue to support Mbappe for the captain band.
