Nothing from Saturday night’s draw has altered my view that England are the likeliest prospects alongside France and Portugal to win Euro 2024.
Not many permutations would have worried Gareth Southgate’s squad to be honest. As top seeds, the fact they missed the toughest placement — the one that Spain got with Croatia and Italy — means it has to be considered a good outcome.
They’ll know enough about Denmark and Serbia to avoid surprises and if they want to go all the way, teams like Slovenia have to be dispatched.
I think it’s an added bonus that we’ll have no Battle of Britain this time either.
