The latest international break may be over, but the narratives and discussions surrounding various national teams are only likely to rise in the run-up to Euro 2024. The 24 teams that will be competing in Germany this summer have been confirmed at the conclusion of Tuesday's play-off finals. Among the bookies' favorites to win the tournament are France, England, Germany, and Portugal, which will begin in Munich on June 14th.

In their friendly match against Slovakia on Saturday, Austria wasted no time in taking the lead.

A national newspaper has slammed Germany players for their efforts during the loss of Austria in a friendly on Tuesday. The Euro 2024 hosts were defeated 2-0 thanks to goals from two players who plied their trade in Germany, Marcel Sabitzer of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig midfielder Christoph Baumgartner. On another chastening night for Julian Nagelsmann's boys, who suffered 3-2 home loss to Turkey on Saturday, Germany had Leroy Sane sent off for pushing both hands into Phillipp Mwene's face.

Leroy Sane, a Bayern Munich player, was dismissed after arguing an opponent in the face. Sane, 27, played just 49 minutes of Germany's match against Austria, which they eventually lost 2-0, after his ferocious outburst at the start of the second half. Sane is seen following back, before clipping Philipp Mwene's heels in a video that appeared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
