In an interview with ITV, football legend Roy Keane shared his thoughts on the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament. He didn't hold back in his opinion on Portugal's chances, stating that he "doesn't fancy them" to win. While he acknowledges their talented attacking players, he believes that defensively, teams like France, England, and Germany are stronger and more likely to come out on top.
Keane also predicts that Spain, known for their possession-based style of play, will "come up short" in the later stages of the tournament. He also makes a bold statement about Portugal's veteran defender Pepe, saying that he will "get caught out" despite his impressive career.
On the other hand, former Scottish midfielder Graeme Souness sees Portugal as one of the "dark horses" of the tournament, along with the Netherlands. He admits that Germany, who kicked off Euro 2024 with a 5-1 win over Scotland, are a "dangerous" team with the momentum on their side. However, Souness believes that England would be a match for them.
Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright also shares his thoughts on Spain, who are in a tough group alongside Croatia, Italy, and Albania. He believes that they will be a "problem" for teams, especially with the addition of young players like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.
In the end, Wright expresses confidence in England's chances, stating that they have the capability to punish teams and make it to the later stages of the tournament. Overall, it's clear that the three football legends have differing opinions on the top contenders for Euro 2024, making for an exciting and unpredictable tournament.
