Simulation of the Euro 2024 draw.. England and Italy in a fiery group | sports

The British newspaper The Sun conducted a simulation of the draw for the finals of the European Championship (Euro 2024), which Germany will host from June 14 to July 14.

The British newspaper predicted the best and worst possible scenarios for the England national team, and the results of the simulation resulted in difficult confrontations for the “Three Lions” team, as it will fall into the fourth “iron” group and clash with the teams of Scotland, Turkey, and Italy (the champions of the last edition).

During this year’s Euro qualifiers, the “Three Lions” team was undefeated and topped Group C with 20 points and qualified with Italy, which ranked second in the group.
