When you have Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, you have no reason not to join the list of the best teams in the world. Besides the superstar of Juventus, the Lusitanians also have players like Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes or Joao Felix. Therefore, they have high claims, currently being the holders of two titles, namely the European Championship, but also the League of Nations, so they intend to defend their trophies, having a lot strong enough to hope.

In 2016, the French reached the final of the European Championship, losing with Portugal, even at home. They scored a new final two years later, at the world tournament in Russia, where they prevailed, defeating Croatia, winning the second world title. In the League of Nations, they did not impress in the last edition, finishing in second place in a group with Holland and Germany, thus missing the access to the final phase of the competition.

Sweden can be a “strong nut”, demonstrating several times at different tournaments. At the 2018 World Cup, she surprisingly won a group with Mexico, Germany and South Korea, moving from Switzerland to eighth, stopping in the quarterfinals, where she lost to England. Also, one can boast that he got promotion in the A division of the League of Nations, after ranking first in a group with Russia and Turkey.

This came in the last act, losing to France by 4-2. He then followed a clear path in the League of Nations, finishing last in a group with England and Spain, making him forgotten after winning a group with Wales, Slovakia, Hungary and Azerbaijan in the European Championship preliminaries, reaching EURO for the fourth time in a row.
