Euro 2024 Group of Death

Every major international tournament features a so-called ‘Group of Death,’ and at Euro 2024, that title surely belongs to Group B.

Three-time champions Spain arrive in Germany as perennial contenders, while Italy, the defending champions, clinched their second European Championship by defeating England in a dramatic penalty shootout at Wembley three years ago. Despite this triumph, Italy subsequently missed World Cup qualification for the second consecutive time.

The two heavyweights are joined by Croatia, perennial dark horses who, despite an impressive World Cup record, have surprisingly never advanced beyond the quarter-finals of the Euros. Also in the mix are Albania, qualifying for only the second time ever, eager to cause some early upsets.
