We're almost a week into Euro 2024, with fans already starting to change their minds about who's going to lift the trophy.

Germany got off to a cracking start thumping the Scots 5-1, while France had to work surprisingly hard in their 1-0 win over Austria, which left star player Kylian Mbappé with a broken nose.

Tournament favourites England kept a clean sheet against Serbia in a rather lacklustre 1-0 display, while Portugal showed off their strength in depth as they nicked a 2-1 win over an impressive Czech Republic. And who can forget one of the favourites Belgium sinking to a shock 1-0 defeat to Slovakia?

Euro 2024 has been electric so far, and the international event is still burning with unanswered questions; will this be 39-year-old Ronaldo's swan song international tournament? Will England lift their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup? Will Italy - who incredibly failed to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup after a shock defeat to North Macedonia - retain the trophy?

All this remains to be seen, of course, so in the meantime, here's how you voted in our poll who will win Euro 2024?
