England are hoping to finally end 58 years of hurt for the men's national team, with Gareth Southgate potentially going into his final tournament in charge.
His three competitions at the helm have seen the Three Lions fans dare to dream reaching a semi-final, a final and a quarter-final. Croatia, Italy and France were England's respective conquerors and all three could ultimately be opponents this summer in Germany.
This could prove to be Southgate's last hurrah and in Group C he must first negotiate Denmark, Serbia and Slovenia before he can think about the knockouts. England though are many people's favourites to lift the trophy in Berlin come July 14.
Likely to oppose them are Les Blues, who have been fancied to win the Euros in recent times, only to fall short. Hosts Germany, despite a period of decline, will be buoyed by home support. Holders Italy, three-time winners Spain and Portugal will also believe they can go deep into the tournament.
England boast some of the world's elite talent - the likes of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Harry Kane have all excelled for their respective clubs. Topping Group C will invariably make Southgate's life easier, but in a tournament bursting with top teams it won't be long before the Three Lions will need to underline their champion credentials.

With a bit of guess work, Mirror Football takes a look at who England can play and when as they embark on their quest for Euros glory - which would end nearly 60 years of major tournament hurt.
Group matches
England get their European Championship campaign underway on Sunday June 16, when they take on Serbia in a game that kicks off at 8pm. They then face Denmark on Thursday June 20 at 5pm, before rounding off the first phase against Slovenia on June 25 at 8pm.
The last 16
So, provided England top their group, which is expected. Denmark realistically provide the only threat, but the Three Lions will still be fancied to see them off. The winner of the group faces the best third place from either Group D, E or F in Gelsenkirchen on June 30.
Group D will likely see France and Netherlands take the top two spots with Austria tipped to take third ahead of Poland. In Group E Belgium are the firm favourites with Romania and the Ukraine poised to battle it out for second and third spot - one of whom could face England.
England will first need to top their group to give themselves the easiest routeGroup F Is seen as one of the more competitive groups. Portugal are expected to top it with Georgia sitting bottom. That will leave Turkey and the Czech Republic facing off for second and third. With Georgia in the group though - the remaining three teams are all expected to win at least a game.
The third place team England faces will come down to who lands the most points, which could be one of a number of nations at this point.
The quarter-finals
England's last-eight opponent will be the winner of the game which features the runners-up in Groups A and B. Far out, that is likely to be Switzerland, who should come second to Germany, and likely Italy. The Italians are in a group alongside Spain and Croatia, but are still expected to qualify, albeit maybe not in top spot.

Hungary impressed at the last Euros and have Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai in their ranks, but are still likely to be outgunned by the defending champions.
The semis
England will know, if they can top their group, they will be in a different half of the draw to Germany, Spain and Portugal - who are all tipped to finish first. One team they cannot avoid however is France , who are set to finish top of Group D.
All roads point to a seismic clash in Dortmund on July 10. The French will likely have to see off Belgium in their quarter, but will be heavy favourites to do so. It means we'd have a repeat of the World Cup last eight clash from Qatar, which was edged by Les Blues.

France will prove a formidable opponent in the semi-finals (Sandra Ruhaut/Icon Sport via Getty Images)England in fact have only beaten France once in nine meetings since 1997. That was a friendly with their three major tournament games in that time leading to two French wins and a draw back at Euro 2012. If England are to have their coming of age moment, it may well be at the ground Jurgen Klopp used to call home.
Final
Anyone's guess ultimately. We're expecting a Spain - Germany last eight clash. Portugal potentially won't face a group winner until the last four. Home comforts - or not - are likely to decide whether Germany, who are in transition, can make it past the Spanish.
Portugal's immensely talented squad still needs to prove they can emulate the class of 2016, who won the tournament. They're a far better team than that of eight years ago, but need to put all the pieces together. England, should they make it that far, will be needing another big performance to lift the The Henri Delaunay Trophy.
