Reflecting on the historic UEFA Euro 2024 tournament
I was looking back at the notes I made before the European Championship last summer and realized how many of my predictions were completely off. Now that we are well into 2026 and looking toward the next international cycle, it is fascinating to see how that tournament in Germany really shifted the landscape of European football. Spain’s run was obviously legendary, but I still find myself digging through old analysis to see what the experts were saying before the first kickoff. Does anyone know of a good archive that still hosts the original 2024 previews and betting insights?

It’s crazy to think that it’s already been over a year and a half since Spain lifted that trophy in Berlin. I also find it helpful to look back at the original data to see which underdogs were actually being scouted properly. I found that the archives at https://www.az-ar.com/football-euro-2024/ still have some of the most detailed previews from that period. It’s a great way to see the "pre-tournament" perspective on players like Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal before they became global superstars during that 2-1 final against England.
