As top seeds, the fact they missed the toughest placement \u2014 the one that Spain got with Croatia and Italy \u2014 means it has to be considered a good outcome.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s an added bonus that we\u2019ll have no Battle of Britain this time either. Not only does it mean one game won\u2019t dominate the agenda, England fans can also throw their backing behind Scotland and hopefully Wales too \u2014 even if the feeling isn\u2019t reciprocated!<\/p>\n<p>England\u2019s first opponents Serbia have dangerous forwards headed by Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus but they aren\u2019t as talented in other areas of the pitch and will fear Kane, Saka, Bellingham and the rest more than we fear them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78509687-12818371-image-a-27_1701552444326.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gareth Southgate&#8217;s England have received a favourable draw for Euro 2024 in Germany<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78509681-12818371-image-a-28_1701552475365.jpg\" height=\"416\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Harry Kane and Co have nothing to fear heading into next year&#8217;s tournament<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78509775-12818371-image-a-39_1701552652473.jpg\" height=\"372\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78509781-12818371-image-m-38_1701552646499.jpg\" height=\"372\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>England should be considered favourites alongside Kylian Mbappe&#8217;s France and Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s Portugal for next summer&#8217;s tournament<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>We beat Denmark at the last Euros and you could argue we\u2019re stronger now and they\u2019re not. My first thought when the countries were paired together is how Manchester United team-mates Harry Maguire and Rasmus Hojlund will fare in opposition. That is one of the fascinating aspects of tournaments \u2014 the guys you\u2019ve trained with all year now becoming rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Why have I picked Portugal and France as England\u2019s main threats? In my eyes, those three nations have strength in depth in all areas so if they lose certain individuals, which happens through injury and suspensions when playing that many matches close together, they can still cope.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve said in these pages during debates on who Southgate should pick, I\u2019m quite confident on the left for example if it\u2019s Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford or Phil Foden. They can all win you a match.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78510381-12818371-image-a-40_1701554183763.jpg\" height=\"405\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Harry Maguire (right) knows Rasmus Hojlund (left) well from their time together at Man United<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78510437-12818371-image-a-41_1701554286817.jpg\" height=\"447\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England have strong options on the left, including Jack Grealish (centre) and Phil Foden (right)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/02\/21\/78510447-12818371-image-a-42_1701554396543.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>John McGinn&#8217;s Scotland will not feel intimidated playing against tournament hosts Germany<\/p>\n<h3>ENGLAND EURO 2024 FIXTURES<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Match 1: Sunday June 16 &#8211; England vs Serbia (Gelsenkirchen)<\/p>\n<p>Match 2: Thursday June 20 &#8211; England vs Denmark (Frankfurt)<\/p>\n<p>Match 3: Tuesday June 25 &#8211; England vs Slovenia (Cologne)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m happy for the Scots. To draw the host nation in a fantastic stadium with the eyes of the world on you for the opening game, what a fabulous experience. And in guys like John McGinn and Andy Robertson, they don\u2019t have to go out feeling intimidated.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the strongest German team there has ever been even though you\u2019d be daft to write them off, especially on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>I think the draw has whetted the appetite. Given the strength of England\u2019s players, the bonus of being top seeds and 16 of the 24 nations progressing to the knockouts, most scenarios would have looked good for Southgate in the draw.<\/p>\n<p>This one certainly does. I can\u2019t wait for England v Serbia now in Gelsenkirchen on June 16!<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12818371\/DANNY-MURPHY-Euro-2024-draw-kind-England-fear-Three-Lions-considered-favourites-alongside-France-Portugal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DANNY MURPHY: Euro 2024 draw was kind to England, there is nothing to fear here for the Three Lions&#8230;
