In England's case, they went all the way to the final, losing to Italy on penalties as their search for a first major trophy since 1966 goes on. But on the plus side, this England squad is a young one, so the World Cup in Qatar next year could well see them go a step further and actually win a title.
The path to that tournament continues here, with their fourth World Cup qualifying game. England have started well, with three wins from three, but Hungary won't be a pushover. Not only do they have 7 points from a possible 9 so far, but they also performed well at the Euros back in June, drawing with both France and Germany and only narrowly missing out on reaching the second round.
Still, England will have most of the players who starred in that run to the Euro final available for the upcoming qualifiers, with only Jadon Sancho a doubt through injury. Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has also been called up, while Trent-Alexander Arnold returns to the squad after missing Euro 2020.
Here's how they line up:
Hungary: Gulácsi, Kecskés, Orban, Szalai, Bolla, Kleinheisler, Schäfer, Fiola, Sallai, Szoboszlai, Szalai
England: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Phillips, Rice, Sterling, Mount, Grealish, Kane
