Despite a monotonous end to England's qualification campaign, the Three Lions confirmed their place at Euro 2024 with relative ease.
England sauntered to top spot in Group C, winning six of their eight qualification matches. That included back-to-back victories against European champions Italy, as well as a 7-0 thrashing of North Macedonia and comfortable wins against Ukraine and Malta.
However, England have always flattered to deceive at major tournaments. Qualification has normally been straightforward but they have too frequently choked on the big stage despite an abundance of talent.
With the Euro 2024 draw coming in December, let's look at who England could face in next summer's tournament.

With Euro 2024 a tournament made up of 24 nations, the group stage consists of six groups of four teams. Each group is made up of a single team from each pot - one to four - with the strongest teams, hypothetically, in Pot 1.
England were one of the five qualification group winners to be drawn into Pot 1 based on their impressive record in qualifying. They will also be joined by hosts Germany in the top pot.
Pot 1 also consists of Spain, Belgium, Portugal and France, meaning England won't face any of these teams in the Euro 2024 group stage.
