The Electrifying Euro 2024 Finals

The Electrifying Euro 2024 Finals

By: Gabrielle Nordstrom

The finals of the Euro 2024 tournament are ready for the big stage as top teams Spain and England are competing for the title.

 

Spain:

Title Odds: -155


Spain is back in the finals for the fifth time, looking to win their fourth title. A fourth title would be a record as they would become the country with the most Euro Championship trophies. 


Spain has been a powerhouse throughout this tournament as they have gone undefeated throughout the tournament, the first team to ever do so, while finding different ways to win. Whether it was putting four or more goals past one team or winning a close one-goal game, they always found a way. Spain has scored 13 goals and only conceded three.


Spain had to get through France in the semi-final. Spain went down 1-0 early but managed to fight their way back and win 2-1. 


16-year old Lamine Yamal has made his presence known as he is the youngest goalscorer in Euros history. 


Will Yamal and Spain have what it takes to bring a fourth title back to Spain?

 

England:

Title Odds: +150 


England makes a return to the finals with hopes of coming out with a different end result. Last Euro tournament, England was defeated by Italy in penalty kicks. They look to win their first Euro title. 


In the semi-finals, England beat the Netherlands with a last minute goal by Ollie Watkins, an unlikely hero. In the quarter-finals, Switzerland put up a fight against England, bringing them to penalty kicks. England ended up advancing after winning 5-3 in penalty kicks. 


Although they are not quite the goal-scoring powerhouse as Spain is, they have scored seven goals while allowing four. 


Soccer legend Harry Kane looks to win his first Euro title as his chances for winning it will begin to shut as the next Euro he would be 34 years old. 


Will England overcome the odds and win their first Euro title?



Spain and England will take the field on Sunday, July 14 at 3pm, who will be crowned victorious?
