The four teams in Group D are England, France, Ukraine and Sweden, and the format of Group C is basically the same.

The favorite for the emergence of this group is England, but the England team in this European Championship can be summed up by two "most", with the fewest superstars and the most ordinary coach.

The Three Lions are missing Beckham, Owen, Rio Ferdinand and other international superstars who were enough to attract fans in the past tournaments, and will even lack the number one star Rooney in the first two games, and even the new generation of darling Wilshere.

At the same time, former superstars such as Lampard, Gerrard and John Terry have gradually aged, and there is no such thing as the scenery of previous years, and even their wives are not as gorgeous as they used to be, and celebrities such as Spice Girls and Cheryl are hard to find, and at the same time, it is only the old coach Hodgson who commands this group of "lions", and his fame on and off the pitch cannot be compared with Eriksen and Capello in the past.

Redknapp was the favourite to succeed after Fabio Capello resigned as England national manager due to a feud with the FA, but in the end the elder Rai stayed at Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion's Roy Hodgson became the new England manager.

The appointment was somewhat surprising but plausible, given Hodgson's qualifications, he is fit to coach mid-table teams rather than leading big clubs, as he is adept at using limited resources, and England is now in need of his pragmatic style of play.

Hodgson has never led a major national team, and his record in the club giants Inter Milan and Liverpool has been unsatisfactory, however, he has a good record with the likes of Switzerland and Finland.

Hodgson's teams are usually based on solid defence, which has a lot to do with the fact that he played as a defender, and the FA's decision to hire Hodgson was hailed by the British media as a move that angered many England fans, as it seemed to remind people that the England national team is an outsider in the ranks of the elite national team.

But the true status of the England national team is true, and if they can recognize their own position under the leadership of Hodgson and adopt appropriate tactics realistically, they may be able to achieve good results under the leadership of a coach "Wonder Soldier".

Although not famous, Hodgson has been very good since he led LinkedIn Gran, and from the squad for this European Championship, the squad he has chosen is also "balanced", with both experienced players and young rookies, with more than two personnel in each position, and most of the positions are not much different from the outside world's predictions.

Not counting superstars such as Beckham, Owen and Hargreaves, who have long been absent from the England squad due to age and injury, the biggest unselected star in Hodgson's European Championship list is Leo. Rio Ferdinand, in the choice between Ferdinand and John Terry, Hodgson voted for the Chelsea captain, and Leo had no choice but to miss the tournament for the third time.

Arsenal midfielder Wilshere was also an ironclad England international, however, a serious knee injury made the young talent miss the entire last season, and the Gunners youngster, who had just undergone surgery, naturally missed the European Championship, which should have been a great stage for him to show himself.

Except for Leo. Rio Ferdinand and Wilshere, Manchester United's Michael Carrick and Smalling, Manchester City's Richards, Chelsea's Sturridge, Stoke City's Crouch, Tottenham's Lennon, Kyle. Walker and Darren of Vera. Bent also failed to make the selection, and the reasons for his defeat can be divided into four categories, active distraction, forced by injury, poor form and positional reasons.

In addition to the large number of stars who were not selected, the biggest problem is that England's star Rooney, who was banned in the first two rounds of the group stage, but the accepted view is that England will have to rely on Rooney if they want to get good results.

Even though he was suspended for two games, there was hardly a single call for England to abandon Chubby, which speaks volumes, and it was at Euro 2004 that Rooney really made a name for himself, when England went all the way and when he was injured, the Three Lions were knocked out on the spot.

However, Wayne Rooney will not be available in the first two rounds of the group stage, and England will need a new striker to charge for them. Carroll, most likely to take on that responsibility. If England play defensive counter-attacks and rely on long passes or crosses to impact opponents, Carroll can play a big role.

Another thing to watch is Steven Gerrard, the captain of this England team, who is not only responsible for leading the team, but also responsible for controlling the midfield, and his partner is likely to be Parker, who is responsible for the transfer, so the Liverpool star has a heavier attacking task.

Steven Gerrard is England's most experienced international at Euro 2000 and has scored in the last two World Cups.

The goalkeeper problem will also be resolved in this World Cup. After Seaman's retirement, England were without a reliable goalkeeper until Joe Hart came along, the 25-year-old Manchester City goalkeeper was a key contributor to the team's victory over Manchester United to win the Premier League, and has firmly occupied the number one position in England since 2010.

In terms of overall tactics, whether it is from the England team's player allocation or coach Hodgson's habits, England in this European Championship is likely to come up with the most common killer feature of the Premier League's "two wings flying together plus a high and a fast striker".

The Three Lions were staffed with Ashley. Young, Theo Walcott, Downing, Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner are the wingers, with break-through, cross, in-cut and defensive types, and up front, the high-post Carroll, the fast Welbeck and Defoe, and the drop-back Rooney.

If everyone is available, England's main style of play is likely to be the traditional 442 formation, attacking through two flanks, with Carroll and Wayne Rooney up the front, and relying on Carroll's height to fight for the top, providing a delivery tactic for other midfielders such as Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard.

Historically, England have not had a stellar record at the European Championships, having not played in the first European Championship in France in 1960 and failing to qualify for the finals at the 1964 European Championships in Spain under the leadership of Aaron Ramsey.

It wasn't until 1968 that England participated in the third European Championship held in Italy, and under the leadership of Ramsey, they achieved the best ranking in history, but the format of the year was very simple, only four teams participated in the finals, England actually only played two games, 0:1 lost to Yugoslavia and missed the final, and the third and fourth finals were won by the famous Bobby. Goals from Charlton and Hearst beat the Soviet Union 2-0 to finish third.

The 11th European Championship held on English soil in 1996 was another pinnacle of the tournament for England, with the likes of Gascoigne, Shearer and Sheringham reaching the last four.

The Three Lions led by Vinables faced a strong German side in the semi-finals, Shearer opened the scoring for England, Kunz then equalised, the two sides drew 1-1, and finally the penalty shoot-out was due to Southgate missing a crucial penalty, the Germans won 6-5 to advance to the final and win the title, because there was no third or fourth place, England and France tied for third.

In the 13th European Championship hosted by Portugal in 2004, Eriksen led the Three Lions to have a new star Wayne Rooney, although the first game was lost 1:2 to France, but then defeated Switzerland 3:0 and Croatia 4:2, and the second group advanced to the knockout stage.

England once again met Portugal in the quarter-finals, Owen opened the scoring at the opening time, but was tied by Postiga before the end of the game, Costa scored first in extra time, Lampard equalized, 2-2, and another penalty shoot-out, Beckham and Vassell missed penalties, England lost 5-6.

In the 14th European Championship jointly hosted by Switzerland and Austria in 2008, McLaren led the team to lose to Croatia in the group stage and was eliminated, missing the European Championship finals for the sixth time.

In this European Cup, England was drawn and was placed in Group D, with France, Sweden and Ukraine in the same group, and England is one of the four favorites in terms of odds.

In the eyes of fans and experts, England's prospects are by no means rosy, with the core Rooney will be absent from the tough matches with France and Sweden, it is difficult to say what the Three Lions will have at that time, France has recovered recently, Sweden has always had the advantage against England, and Ukraine is the host, and the Three Lions will not be easy to deal with in three games. However, as long as the performance is normal, England should not have much problem qualifying from the group, but if they want to enter the final or even win the championship, I am afraid that there is a lot to think about.

In Group D, France are similar in strength to England, with former France captain Blank replacing the outgoing Domenech as coach of the French national team after the 2010 World Cup.

Blank's first national team squad after taking office actually excluded all 23 players for the World Cup in South Africa, which shows his extraordinary courage.

Relying on their iron fist, France struggled in the previous qualifying tournament but eventually topped their group to reach the main stage of the European Championships.

After this European Championship, it is highly likely that Blanc will step down from the national team and return to the club as coach, so he will do everything in his power to help the Gallic Roosters go further.

In terms of the team's lineup, in the goalkeeper position, the main goalkeeper should be Lloris, and after Frei retired from the national team, he firmly occupied the main position.

Manchester United veteran Patrice Evra is at the back and will still be expected to win the race against Manchester City wing-back Klich on the left, while on the right, 32-year-old veteran Revier will compete with Lille's De Bosch for a spot-up spot, while with Abidal and Kabool both absent, Mexes and Lamy will be the first choice in the middle of the defence, with Arsenal's Axelny Koscielny on the bench.

In midfield, the oldest players are undoubtedly Malouda and Franck Franckis, and these two veterans who have made more than 55 appearances for the national team are also expected to occupy the left and right wingers of the French team. Martin and Marseille's Valbuena are also very competitive. The back pair will be split between Diarra, Mwila, Matuidi and Cabaye, with the main midfielder likely to be occupied by Nasri.

As for the strikers, as the only two pure centre-forwards on the list, Benzema and Giroud will be responsible for the goal, and the Real Madrid striker has been very good on all fronts this season, with the attacking partner of Mauro and Higuain being invincible, and he has become the most relied on player for France at this European Championship. Montpellier's Olivier Giroud is the leading scorer in Ligue 1 this season, with a height of 192cm with excellent bounce and headers, and is expected to be a heavy battering ram when the team can't open the game.

At the heart of the team is Ribery, the world-class winger's form has rebounded significantly, with goals and assists reaching their highest levels in recent seasons.

Benzema will take on the responsibility of attacking the city for the team, the teenager has made 43 appearances for the French national team, becoming an absolute veteran player in the team, and he will be the top attacker for the French team in the European Championship after performing well in Real Madrid this season.

Lloris is the best goalkeeper of the French national team since Butters and Frey, and the new captain of the French national team has strong reflexes and one-on-one ability, and his high and low blocks will play a crucial role in whether the Gallic Roosters can go far in the European Championship.

In 1984, the French national team won the European Championship on home soil, winning the continental championship for the first time. In the three games of the group stage, France defeated Denmark 1:0, swept Belgium 5:0, and defeated the former Yugoslavia 3:2.

Platini scored seven of the team's nine goals, and although Portugal were cornered in the semi-finals, Platini stepped up again late in extra-time to set up team-mate Dormego to score the winning goal.

In the final, France's number one star opened the scoring again with a 2-0 win over Spain, and Platini scored nine goals in five games.

In 2000, France finished second in the group stage as part of the 1998 World Cup, beating a very strong Dutch side 3-2 in the final game, but they beat Spain, Portugal and Italy in the knockout stages to win the European Championship in Rotterdam.

The final win over Italy was one of the most iconic examples in the history of the European Championship, with substitute Wiltord priing open Toldo's fingers at the end of the game to take the game to extra time, while another substitute Trezeguet's golden goal gave the Gallic Roosters a stunner.

In this Cup, France is in Group D with its rival England, host Ukraine and Nordic powerhouse Sweden, and will meet the Three Lions in the first game, but the current French team has an ideal configuration of players and has considerable combat effectiveness, compared with England, the strength is obviously superior, and the overall strength of Ukraine and Sweden is also inferior to the Gallic Roosters, therefore, if Blank's team plays normally, it is entirely possible to break through to the top of the group, so as to avoid Spain in the first round of the knockout round, if it can successfully advance to the semi-finals, Even if it's overfulfilled.

Group D should not be overlooked is also Sweden, the team coach Hamren is quite experienced, as a Nordic pass, he was invited by the Swedish national team in 2009, although he failed to lead the team to the South Africa World Cup match, he has enough trust from the Football Association to finally bring Sweden back to the World Series two years later.

In terms of the team's lineup, although the core Ibrahimovic is currently in peak form, the Swedish team has been particularly lacking in recent years, and veterans Melberg, Svensson and others are experienced, but they are no longer as brave as they used to be.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is undoubtedly an indispensable standard-bearer, Shenta rose to fame at a young age, currently playing for AC Milan in Serie A, and has been in excellent form this season, scoring a large number of goals in the national team, the most impressive of which was at Euro 2004 when he broke the Italian door with a "scorpion tail wag".

Shelström, the core of the Swedish midfield, also became famous at a young age, and at the age of less than 30, he has made nearly 100 appearances for the national team.

As early as 2001 at the age of 19, Shelström began his international career, and after entering Ligue 1, with his stunning performance at Rennes, he was quickly favored by the league hegemon Lyon, and in the five years since joining Lyon, Shelster has grown into a quasi-first-class midfielder in Europe.

In terms of tactics, Hamlen is more of a 442 formation, with short passes penetrating combined with long passes, and set-pieces are also an offensive means that the Swedish team relies on, and there are many masters in the team such as Shelström, Larsson and Elm.

Up front, Ibrahimovic is the undisputed tactical core, not only can he destroy the city himself, but also have the ability to organize the attack up front, Elmand is another executor of the two-centre-forward strategy, and the opportunistic killer Rosenberg is the most suitable super sub.

Sweden have a lot of good players in midfield, and Toivonen, who can pass and shoot, is likely to lock in the midfield position, and the three defenders behind him will be Shehlström and Elm, Larsson, Svensson and Wayne Bloom, Elm and Svensson are more advanced in the ranking, of course, because of the proximity, it is possible who will start.

West Brom captain Jonas at the back. Olsson will form a centre-back combination with Melberg, with Antonsson and versatile Granqvist on their bench, and Martin on the left and right. Olsson and Lustig, two players who play in England, will have Isaksen behind the back four.

On the stage of the European Championship, Sweden, as one of the traditional powerhouses of European football, did not participate in the final stage of the European Championship for the first time as the host until 1992, in that European Championship, the Swedes finally reached the semi-finals, when they drew with France in the group stage, and then won consecutive victories to win the eventual champions Denmark and England to appear as group winners, and faced Germany in the semi-finals, and finally lost by one goal. He scored three goals and was tied for top scorer.

In this European Cup, the Swedish team's group draw was not lucky, and one of the hosts, Ukraine, and two old powerhouses, England and France, were in Group D, if you want to qualify from the group, you must win Ukraine, which is similar to your own strength, and you have to find ways to get points from the top two of England and France, fortunately, they have a certain psychological advantage in the face of England, Sweden has been unbeaten against England for 43 years, and now England has experienced a change of coach and a number of big players are absent, which is the best chance for the Swedes.

The last team in Group D is the host Ukraine, as the host of this European Cup, Ukraine directly qualified for the finals, despite having a world-class star like Shevchenko, but Ukraine has not performed well in the last ten years, except for the 2006 World Cup finals, and this is the first time Ukraine has participated in the European Championship finals, their goal in this competition is also very pragmatic, is to try to qualify from the group.

Blokhin, who once led Ukraine to the top 8 of the 2006 World Cup, returned to the helm of the team in 2011, Blokhin left because he failed to lead the team to qualify in the 2008 European Championship qualifiers and resigned, after him Markovich and Kalit Wentese led the team to unsatisfactory results, and finally the Ukrainian Football Association invited Blokhin back, Blokhin is personally good at defensive counterattack tactics, but with the quality of the current Ukrainian defenders, it is estimated that Blokhin has to find another way.

In the 23-man squad of the Ukrainian team this time, only two players, Tymoshchuk and Voronin, play for foreign clubs, and the rest of the players are mainly from the two domestic powerhouses, Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv.

From the perspective of the main lineup, Pyatov will be the No. 1 goalkeeper, and the four players in the back line will not have much suspense, Butko, Kuchel, Rakitsky, and Serin are lined up, and the front six will consider single striker or double striker tactics according to the formation, if a single striker is enabled, Shevchenko, the team's number one star, is likely to be sacrificed, and at present, Milevski is the number one candidate for the center forward position in the team, and the midfielders have Yarmolenko and Konopulyanka worth paying attention to, However, the two attacking midfielders will need to rely on the play of the two central midfielders, Tymoshchuk and Rotan.

There is no doubt that Shevchenko has been the banner of Ukrainian football for the past decade, but as he gets older, Shevchenko's form has declined severely, but in any case, Shevchenko is the spiritual core of the team and can encourage the young players in the team.

At present, Tymoshchuk's actual role in the national team has surpassed Shevchenko, as the only player in Ukraine who plays in a giant, Tymoshchuk controls the team's offensive and defensive rhythm, and his performance will directly determine Ukraine's results in this European Cup.
