Football Fever will hit Liverpool this summer when the UEFA Euros 2024 kick off on June 14. Europe’s greatest football nations will be battling it out against each other across 51 nail-biting games. Could this be the year the England team finally breaks its 58-year drought and brings home a major trophy? During the Euros 2020 (held in 2021 after a delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic), England came excruciatingly close to bringing the trophy home but tripped up during a penalty shoot-out in the final. The Three Lions are now tipped as tied favourites to win the Euros 2024 alongside France, who reached the finals in the last World Cup.
