England Euro 2024 path to the final
England will hope not to go through as one of the best third-place teams as they would then face Portugal in the Round of 16.
If they win their group, they will face a third-place team in the Round of 16 and the runners-up from Group A or B in the quarterfinals. Not facing a potential group winner until the semifinals likely makes this by far the preferable route for Gareth Southgate's side.
