Euro 2020 Power Rankings: Are England now the favourites?

Euro 2020 is finally here - but who will lift the trophy at Wembley Stadium on July 11? 

Goal ranks all 24 contenders following the first two rounds of group games, from least likely to make it out of the groups to tournament favourites...

Switzerland rarely excite at major tournaments, but the 2021 version of Vladimir Petkovic's side have taken that to another level this time around.

Their creator-in-chief, Xherdan Shaqiri, has struggled to make any impact, and yet a win over Turkey on Sunday will likely be enough to carry them into the knockout rounds.

Ukraine have impressed a fair few onlookers with their performances so far in Group C, with Andriy Shevchenko's side certainly a team most will want to avoid in the knockout stages.

They, of course, need to get there first, with a draw against Austria on Monday set to be enough for them to take second place in Group C.

Czech Republic head to Wembley on Tuesday knowing a draw against England will be enough for them to finish top of Group D after two encouraging performances thus far.

In Patrik Schick, they have one of the tournament's in-form forwards, and that run to the quarter-finals that this humble power-ranker predicted for them pre-tournament is now not looking too far-fetched.

They might be one of three teams left in the competition not to have picked up a point, but there is a not wholly unpredictable combination of results which could see Denmark still finish second in Group B.

Victory over Russia is a must, and their fans must hope that news of Christian Eriksen being discharged from hospital is the boost the players need to lift themselves and edge into the knockout rounds.

Belgium may have some issues in defence that need ironing out, but the ominous way in which they brought Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard off the bench to secure a come-from-behind win against Denmark will have sent shockwaves through the other favourites.

De Bruyne certainly seems to be feeling no ill effects from the injury he picked up in the Champions League final, and as the most complete footballer in the competition, he could be the difference between Belgium again falling short and finally winning their first major tournament.

Undoubtedly the most impressive performers across the first two matchdays, Italy have lifted themselves from potential semi-finalists to bonafide challengers for the title.

It remains to be seen how they fare when faced with a tougher opponent than either Turkey or Switzerland, particularly once they leave Rome following the group stages, but right now Roberto Mancini's side look in ominous mood.

Two games, two draws for Luis Enrique's side, who despite lots of nice passing have lacked the cutting edge required at tournaments when you want to go deep into the tournament.

The talent that La Roja possess means they are still favourites to make it out of Group E ahead of their final match against Slovakia, though how much further they go must now be questioned.

Though some of the hysteria surrounding England's performance against Scotland has been overblown somewhat, there is no question that, overall, their young squad has underwhelmed so far.

All that will be forgotten, though, if they sweep Czech Republic aside to top the group on Tuesday, though Gareth Southgate will likely have to show a little more adventure in his tactics if that is to happen.
