Coach: Igor Angelovski (North Macedonia)

Coach: Gareth Southgate (England)

Croatia
Euro 2020 Schedule: vs. England in London, June 13; vs. Czech Republic in Glasgow, June 18; vs. Scotland in Glasgow, June 22.
Qualifying: Group E winner.

FIFA Ranking: 14th.
Coach: Zlatko Dalic (Croatia)
Key Player: Luka Modric — The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, who led the team to the 2018 World Cup final, is still the key to Croatia's game. He controls the midfield with his passing and vision. If left alone, he can dictate the entire match.

FIFA Ranking: 44th.
Coach: Steve Clarke (Scotland)
Key Player: Andy Robertson — The Liverpool defender should be playing as a left wingback in Scotland’s national team, making him an attacking threat.

Czech Republic
Euro 2020 Schedule: vs. Scotland in Glasgow, June 14; vs. Croatia in Glasgow, June 18; vs. England in London, June 22.

Coach: Jaroslav Šilhavý (Czech Republic)
Key Player: Tomáš Soucek — Soucek is a tall defensive midfielder renowned for being a regular scorer at club level, first at Slavia Prague and for the past year and a half at West Ham in the Premier League. So far this season, he has scored 14 goals for his club and his country and has proved to be dangerous not just in the air — he is 6-foot-4 (1.92 meters) — but also with the ball at his feet.

Coach: Luis Enrique (Spain).
Key Player: Sergio Busquets — While Spain has moved on from most of its title-winning veterans, Busquets is still in the squad and still causing problems for opposing attacks.

Coach: Paulo Sousa (Portugal)
Key Player: Robert Lewandowski — The 32-year-old Lewandowski is already the country’s leading scorer with 66 goals, and he just broke the Bundesliga’s 49-year-old record for goals in a season with 41 in 29 appearances for Bayern Munich. If he is scoring at Euro 2020, Poland will be tough to beat.

Qualifying: Playoff Path B winner.

Best Result: Round of 16 (2016).
FIFA Ranking: 36th.
Coach: Štefan Tarkovic (Slovakia)
Key Player: Marek Hamšík — Slovakia relies on Hamšík’s creativity and vison. No one has played more games or scored more goals for the national team. The big question for Slovakia, however, is whether the 34-year-old attacking midfielder can still produce on the biggest stage.
