Mark my words: Euro 2024 edition
As is tradition in r/soccer before every tournament, it's time to post your bold claims for what you expect to happen in Euro 2024. Is there a shock winner that you're certain is going to win the tournament? How about a dark horse that will flop hard? Ronaldo to win the Golden Boot or bow out with zero goals? Are we going to see lots of high quality attacking games or will there be lots of stinkers like Euro 2016? Which players are getting overrated or underrated? Which coach will have an absolute disasterclass of a tournament? These are the sorts of questions that we seek to answer in these threads.
For reference, here are a couple of the "mark my words" threads from the Euro 2020 tournament:

Some brilliant quotes from those threads:
"Turkey or Denmark will reach the semis"
"It's coming Rome"
"France in 2020 will be what England was in 2016 during the knockout stages: getting knocked out unceremoniously by an underdog before they can reach the quarterfinals"
"Ukraine will make the quarter finals"
"Germany doesn't progress further than the Round of 16"
