EM final 2024

Fans all over the world will be glued to their screens, ready to witness history.

As the EM 2024 approaches its crescendo, we are facing what promises to be an epic final between two of Europe's most prominent football nations. Based on the tournament's development so far and the form of the teams, we can expect a match that will go down in history.

The final will likely be played between two teams that have shown both strength and skill throughout the tournament. Let's assume that the finalists are France and England, two teams that have impressed with their performances and have a long history of success in international football.

The match is likely to start with high intensity, with both teams trying to take control of the game from the beginning. France, with its offensive brilliance, will probably try to put pressure on England's defense with quick transitions and technical players like Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann. On the other hand, England will rely on its strong team spirit and key players like Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling to create scoring opportunities.

The first half could very well offer early scoring opportunities for both teams. We can expect France to open the scoring through Mbappé, who with his speed and precision finds the net early in the match. England, known for its ability to respond quickly, is likely to equalize before halftime through a goal from Harry Kane, assisted by Luke Shaw.

In the second half, tactics will play a major role. Didier Deschamps and Gareth Southgate, both known for their tactical knowledge, will make strategic substitutions to try to break the deadlock. The midfield will be a battleground, with Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kanté as key players for France, while Declan Rice and Mason Mount try to control the tempo for England.

As the match approaches its end, the nervousness will be palpable. It is possible that neither team manages to decide the outcome during regular time, leading to a thrilling extension. In the extension, we can expect even more drama, with both teams desperate to avoid a penalty shootout.

If the match goes to penalties, nerves and experience will be crucial. England's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and France's Hugo Lloris will play decisive roles. The penalty shootout is likely to be a nail-biter, with both teams showing their skill from the penalty spot.

In the end, assuming England wins, we can expect an explosion of joy and celebration among the English players and fans. Their first major championship title since the World Cup in 1966 would be a monumental achievement and a confirmation of the work the team's management and players have put in.

Regardless of the outcome, the EM final 2024 will be a match full of passion, skill, and unforgettable moments. It will be a reminder of why we love football and why the EM is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. Fans around the world will be glued to their screens, ready to witness history.
