Why Some of the Best Players are Missing Euro 2024<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some of the world’s best soccer stars are missing out on the summer tournament. Players who lit up their leagues just months ago will be watching Euro 2024 on TV.<\/p>\n

1. Erling Haaland<\/span><\/h2>\n

There’s only one reason Erling Haaland would be left out of a major tournament like Euro 2024, and it’s not by choice.<\/p>\n

Despite being one of the highest paid soccer players<\/a>, Haaland could only help Norway to a third-placed finish in the Euro 2024 qualifying group – six points behind Scotland.<\/p>\n

Norway failed to qualify for Euro 2024 and this meant the Premier League’s two-time Golden Boot winner will spend the summer watching it on television like the rest of us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 6ft 4in striker lit up the Premier League when he joined champions Manchester City in 2022 and immediately helped them to win a historic treble, becoming only the second team to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in one season after Manchester United did it in 1998\/99.<\/p>\n

If things continue this way, being remembered as one of the best soccer players of all time <\/a>is not out of the for Haaland.<\/p>\n

2. Martin \u00d8degaard<\/span><\/h2>\n
