Netherland reactive model to the game caused them that late goal which was supposed to  have been scored from the earlier. England has some of the best attackers Saka, Bellingham and Kane with Palmer and Watkins coming from the bench the pressure on Netherland was doubled, on one hand, Netherland didn't like their opponent had a good bench to change the game away from their defensive pattern.   they couldn't confidently come out and face their opponent which would have reduced some of the undue pressure from England leading to that laye goal at the 89mins from Watkins
England does have quality players not only in the attack line but also in almost all lines. So when they can play with the best quality of their game, it is not surprising that they can win in the end. Even though I don't support England in that match. but I have to admit that England deserved to win in that match. Even though I don't really like their game strategy. But it turns out it was quite effective and caused the Dutch to suffer defeat.

Now I never thought that the team that made it to the final was England. The English team's performance from the start was not very convincing. but their patient playing pattern was able to get them to the final. Now they will face Spain who have a fast type of game.

England's squad is full of star players. There are many star players in the squad. But despite having so many star players, we don't see good performance from England team in the past matches. Even in the quarter final match against Switzerland we don't see a good performance from England players. But England's overall performance against Netherlands was really good.

Netherlands is a strong team. The defense of the Netherlands in particular was very strong. So the England coach changed his match strategy in this match. Moreover, the England team conceded a goal only 7 minutes after the start of the match. So England's players played attacking in the whole match. This made the match very competitive and enjoyable. England's players have performed well in this match.

I bet on England winning and fortunately England managed to win the match with a score of 2-1. and I saw that England had a strong mentality so that even when they were 1 goal behind by the Netherlands, England's mentality did not decline so that in the end England was able to turn the situation around to win for England in the remaining time which was soon to end and that is what makes me admire England.

Of course I want to congratulate England who have managed to beat the Netherlands in the semifinals and now England will advance to the final and of course Spain will be England's opponent.
Like England or not, it is undeniable that England are one of most stable national teams in latest big tournaments including both Euro and World Cup.

Euro 2020: runner-up
Euro 2024: final match (at least runner-up again)

World Cup 2018: fourth place
World Cup 2022: quarter final

Perhaps, in Europe only France national team have better performances in Euro and World Cup recent years.

With stable performances recent years, England team deserve to win at least one big title.

I disagree with you. In terms of consistency, Netherlands have more percentage than England in this competition. With all the squad England has, you'd expect them to be ranking with Spain or Germany but they were greatly disappointing. If not for the fact that they got away with winning by small margins, they should have been dropped since the group stages. I just hope that Netherlands can be able to end them in regular time, cause I doubt they will pack much force if it goes to extra time and I don't trust their prowess at penalty shootouts.
Even though currently England continues to dominate possession of the ball, they still haven't found a gap to penetrate the Dutch defense in the second half. And on the other hand, the Dutch had several times made quick counter-attacks which almost penetrated the English goal. Luckily their goalkeeper, J. Pickford, was in top form and always managed to ward off the ball that came into the England goal. but if this continues then I think England will indeed lose. It's just that I see that the Netherlands has also been carried away by the slow game flow used by England. I think the Netherlands should start changing the rhythm of this game again so that it doesn't get boring. In the first half everything became more exciting. But I think the second half is quite boring. Both teams played very carefully and there were no breakthrough passes that could break the atmosphere there.
I'd still maintain that England have gotten this far not on prowess but by luck because honestly they haven't been performing like they are supposed to. In the other competitions they've participated in, when as a team you know you are up against England, you'd be getting jitters but it's not so in this one and I must say I'm disappointed. One will say that at the end of the day, what matters is the results and not how they played but if you ask me, team performance plays a key role in overall rating of a team.
 Take Spain for instance. They give the goals, and also ensure fans are entertained by their pattern of play and by this give other teams a lot to think about when they are paired against them.
Many fans have been criticizing the way the English play and others are complaining that they are going overboard with their displeasures but the truth is, if fans don't complain, I don't think Gareth will be under much pressure to win this cup. Even though he's aiming to win the cup for personal reasons, it will be much discussed if he doesn't get a shot this time around. It will be like repeating 2020 again and honestly, they would not want that.

Of course I want to congratulate England who have managed to beat the Netherlands in the semifinals and now England will advance to the final and of course Spain will be England's opponent. I personally support Spain to win the final match and I am sure that Spain will perform even better because I see that Spain has an extraordinary attack line which will definitely be a bit of a problem for England. and I am sure that Spain will have great potential to win against England in the final and I am also sure that Spain will be the champion of Euro 2024. But of course that is just my prediction and of course we will not know the strength of each team in the final match, but what is clear is that Spain and England is the strongest team currently at Euro 2024 and there will definitely be fierce competition in the final match. What do you think, who will be the champion at this Euro?
Even though I didn't watch this match, congratulations on winning your bet for England, these two countries are both strong and have talented young players, but on the other hand, the quality of the game and mentality of the English players is no longer in doubt, they deserve to win.    this and advance to the Final round to meet Spain, this is the second time England has qualified for the Final and previously at last season's Euro they failed, at least at this season's Euro they can get the trophy they failed at last season's Euro.
A big congratulations to the English team, for progressing to the finals of this year euros, though I thought the game would have gone to extra time, because in the first half, it was very clear that england was the better team, even though the Netherlands got the first goal, and the English team would have gotten their second goal earlier if they were taking most of their chances, in the second half the Netherlands grew into the game and start seizing the initiative which I initially thought that they would have utilize and got their second goal, but they didn't.
Everything changed for the English team when they brought on luck shaw, cole palmer and  Watkins, and to be frank, they were the match winners,  because they improve the English team immediately, and cole palmer eventually setting up Watkins for the winning goal.

So as for the final between Spain vs england, I would be betting on Spain to win by a two goal margin or more, because I don't think the English team has what it takes to tame this Spanish team that are currently on 🔥 fire.

Yes, this season's Euro is a golden opportunity for England to win the title and what I remember is that England has never won the Euro and indeed this is an opportunity for Bukayo Saka and his friends to put England's name on the record as the country that won the Euro title. 2024. I think the British people definitely want to see England become champions and of course England definitely don't want to lose in the final again.

Yes, even though I support Spain to become champions, I personally also really enjoy whatever happens because my idol Portugal has failed to advance to the semifinals so in this case I am neutral. Yes, the British mentality is very strong and of course that is valuable capital for a team and we will see how and what happens in the match.

Yes, the point is that both teams played well in last night's match and if you want to bet on Spain winning, of course there's no harm in it and it looks like I also want to bet on Spain winning.  It seems certain that the final will be a very tense match.

Netherlands have the ability to beat England team. The Netherlands has an experienced and strong defence. Also the forward players are able to attack quickly. Even so, both teams have equal chances of winning so far. The match may not end in 90 minutes.
The game has been on an equal stance to me and with the way both teams are playing, I don’t see the game ending in the 90th minute. An extra time will be given and if not the match ending in a penalty shootout. England have more ball possessions and are not moving the ball forward to find themselves a good spot to add more goals. Netherlands on the other hand have good attacking force but they’re hell bent in converting any of those chances too. The game might not be as interesting as the first semifinal match, but one goal from any of the sides will be a big game changer to how this game will end and how intensive it’ll be before the match comes to an end.

We have to admit that England team is very lucky in this year's Euro. And this is why the team qualified for the finals. I was sure this match would go to extra time. But the England team won the match 2-1 with the goal of Ollie Watkins in 90+1 minutes. Watkins scored off a pass to Cole Palmer.

England was lucky. However, in this match, England has performed the best in the matches of this year's Euro. We have seen England's slow performance in previous matches. But England's overall performance in this match was not slow. England's players tried to attack a lot in this match. However, the performance of the attacking players was not good enough. Still I am happy because the England coach has changed his match strategy. It is expected that the England team will play well against Spain.

In the end England won again.
It is still a miracle they are in the tournament.
Scoring goal in extra time, penalties and goal again in final minute.

Spain is much a better looking team but everything is going in favor of England so far.

On the paper it should be a win for Spain but at this point...

It was actually a miracle seeing England coming this far and now be in the final. Luck has been on their side since the beginning of this tournament but if we are to go by their performance, they suppose to have been eliminated long ago. However, I must commend their yesterday’s effort despite they conceded early goal. Not only that they played excellently, they also did a miraculous comeback as usual.

Since everyone have his own wish and who to support, if not I will say that betting or give the Spain straight winning might end of losing your money, because with performance that England have currently now, I don't think they can have any challenges against Netherland, but we can't make early predict let wait and see what will happen since there main battle is Spain, we can see who can bring positive results that very day.

I don’t get your point clearly here. You mean giving Spain a straight win will result in losing money? Like Spain is not capable of winning against England? Lol! If that’s what you mean, you’re getting wrong impression about England then. I know England probably had one of their best game so far in this tournament yesterday but that doesn’t give them a higher chance against Spain unless miracle happens as it has been happening. We will continue this conversation after the final.

Ohhh it turns out that Ollie Watkins was the one who delivered England to the final to meet Spain, not surprisingly only Southgate was able to deliver his national team to the final several times.

Many doubted Southgate in previous matches (including myself doubting) but now realize that Southgate's tactics are better than other coaches where we also did not expect that England would go to the final while previously judging from the resistance of Switzerland and Slovakia which at the beginning it was difficult to win.

We will see the final in a few days, do you believe England can beat Spain? Statistically, no, but anything can happen and we have to enjoy it.

The England coach has chosen to have a very strong defense, but has a very weak attack, this type of strategy has worked very well because England has been lucky to play against weak teams or against teams that have some problems, for example in this case In yesterday's game against the Netherlands, England were lucky with the penalty, I say this because normally England manage to score 1 goal in games, so if there is a scenario in which they benefit from a penalty, then the chances of them scoring 1 more goal become high, but the chances of them conceding 2 goals in a game become low, if we look at the performance of England's defense in this Euro we have the following data:

servia 0 - 1 england (in this game england did not concede any goals, but only scored 1 goal)

Denmark 1 - 1 England (in this game England conceded 1 goal, but only scored 1 goal)

England 0 - 0 Slovenia (in this game England did not concede a goal and did not score a goal)

England 2 - 1 Slovakia (in this game England conceded 1 goal, but scored 2 goals)

England 1 - 1 Switzerland (in this game England conceded 1 goal, but only scored 1 goal)

Netherlands 1 - 2 England (in this game England conceded 1 goal, but scored 2 goals)

There is a pattern that shows that England has a good defense, they may not be able to score many goals, but they have a defense that does not concede 2 goals, this is a good strategy in finals games, see that in yesterday's game England could having scored more than 2 goals, they were unlucky. I bet on England to win:



and I was right on my bet. this was definitely a good thing for me  Grin

England surprised us all, who would have thought that Southgate's squad could break into the final by struggling in the 1/16 - 1/8 round and in the semifinals were able to beat the Netherlands with a dramatic score.

We underestimated Southgate but it was a surprise from him, even with the highest salary but by entering the final of his team he deserves appreciation.

On paper Spain? Surprises can come at any time...

The Netherland had to start defending and waiting for a counterattacks just after England leveled with them with Kane's penalty. This gave England control of the entire game taking possession of the midfield down to Netherland yard box, increasing their pressure. I had expected that the dutch will come out and tap this ball with the English boys making the game much entertaining as Spain vs France was but it's just get boring with how they sit behinds their goal post waiting for England to keep pressing them with deadly shots.
Even now in the second half we can see the Netherlands just continuing to defend and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. I think the Netherlands reduced the aggressiveness of their game in this match. And I think that could actually be detrimental to them. Because it was only a matter of time until the Dutch defense made a mistake in this match. I hope that the Dutch will also make a strategy of attacking less rather than having to wait to make a counterattack. But so far the Dutch defense is still quite tight and England has not been able to approach the Dutch defense area any deeper. And if the game continues like this then it's possible that the match will go into extra time and could even end in a penalty shootout.
Netherland reactive model to the game caused them that late goal which was supposed to  have been scored from the earlier. England has some of the best attackers Saka, Bellingham and Kane with Palmer and Watkins coming from the bench the pressure on Netherland was doubled, on one hand, Netherland didn't like their opponent had a good bench to change the game away from their defensive pattern.   they couldn't confidently come out and face their opponent which would have reduced some of the undue pressure from England leading to that laye goal at the 89mins from Watkins

I am not fan of England and don't like how they played in Euro 2024 but it's frankly to say they would have not gotten any of these if they have not tried hard. They actually tried and did not give up so somewhat we can say they deserved with what they have gotten so far.

The goal to help England beating Netherlands can be a most important goal of Walkins in his career. He only has 14 caps for England team and so far, scored 4 goals with the winning goal against Netherlands as said. At his 28 age, his international career looks not good but if he can win Euro 2024 with England, he will be remembered in history.

Spain can beat England but they must avoid mistakes in defense because England have many players who can score important goals from Spanish player mistakes if occur. In the final match, Spain can use their good ball possession ability to control the match and make English players turn to be impatient, then they can have goals and lead the match. After having a leading goal, the match can become more easily for Spain with their great ball possessing ability.

Honestly England deserve a big congrats with a surprise of a last minute goal against Netherland yesterday, because even I was expecting that the game will end in victory of England without going to second half, but with there much effort they make it possible by end the match with 2-1 which was big award for them. Initially Netherland performance was so amazing which many peoples was anticipating that they able to dominate the match, but once England equalized all there performance become weak that's why England have that capacity to utilize to get there second goal in dai minutes of time.

England will not change its strategy because this is the best strategy of Southgate even though we realize that this scheme is quite bad because with this scheme England plays always monotonous because the performance is not as expected but nothing can be done because Southgate's strength in coaching is only up to this level.

Although there is indeed a slight difference with them playing a little better for this semi-final when compared to the previous game but still in the end England's game has not improved throughout this Euro.

The final they will face Spain, this is definitely the most difficult condition or even the most difficult match they have done so far because from the group phase to the semi-finals only the Netherlands is their strongest opponent and comparable in terms of level but for the final they will get a more commensurate opponent even far superior when talking about finals and champions.

When it comes to Final then anything can happen, even though Southgate was a little annoying, England qualifying for the final brought a breath of fresh air to be able to show something different. Against the Netherlands yesterday, England game was a little better and different, the semifinal match might be a big gamble, therefore Southgate made the right decision to include Cole Palmer. He was the difference while playing at the Euros, he didn't say much but Palmer execution was always accurate and could create bigger opportunities. Watkins was very grateful to Palmer for the assist he made.

It is indeed difficult when facing Spain, therefore whatever happens in the final, England must be able to withstand the pressing launched by the left and right sides of the young Spanish players.

But in the semifinal match against the Netherlands we have to admit that there was an improvement in the performance of the English National team, they played much better with a very well organized game scheme so they deserved to win the match.

For the final match against Spain, I doubt that England will surprise again.
Spain has been the most consistent team since the group stage, so I think it is very likely that Spain will be able to win the final match.

Yes, I agree with the compliments, but it must be said that England were very lucky to win and go to the final, and in any case there are no doubts about the penalty awarded to Kane, in my opinion without that penalty England would have come out it was an unforgivable mistake on Dumfries' part, which in fact cost them the final, regarding the final I think it will be a very difficult match for England, Spain is really strong
England managed to qualify for the Euro 2024 final in a dramatic manner. However, this success received a lopsided response and its worthiness was questioned due to a penalty drama given by the referee which changed the score to 1-1. England were very lucky this time due to the penalty, they seemed to be saved after previously falling behind through Xavi Simons beautiful goal. England managed to re-establish their rhythm after Kane managed to equalize, maybe the result would have been different if Tampa had taken the penalty, the Netherlands would have continued to dominate the match to maintain victory.

This is a very crucial match, the Netherlands will try to close all the gaps to prevent English players from entering their defensive area. So I don't agree with you, maybe without this penalty, England would have lost this match.

England perform well on semifinal match regarding for the first time made 5 shots on target than usually match since phase group until quarter final, after conceded early on 7th minutes England make good improvement with their performance by huge pressure and make Netherland national team difficult return back to their better games play.
England control the games since conceded on the early minutes until end of second half how their ball possession dominance more than 59% than Netherland get huge pressure with ball dominance only 41%.

Seems no doubt to put England as favorite winner for Euro 2024 against Spain in the final if play well as their tactician against Netherland national team, but Spain has chance with their player absent Dani Carvajal will be ready for the final match and make England get bit difficult on left side. I think become interested with the ideal final between Spain vs England if both team can play with high intention and brave with open play tactician.

Carvajal will not be absent from the final, having missed the semi-final due to a red card, but he will play in the final. If England plays the same way as they played with the Netherlands, then of course their chances will not be so small, although Spain stood out among other teams from the very beginning, and they will also have one more day of rest time, perhaps this will also play a role. Spain now looks stronger, there is no doubt about it, I think that they will be able to bring this tournament to victory and become champions.

 And if they meet the Netherlands in the final, will it be easier for them? I think that just as Spain was the best, the same can be said about the Netherlands, of course, except for the defeat with Austria, I don’t know how they managed to lose this match. I don’t think that England will change its strategy because today it will have a more difficult opponent, especially since the Netherlands have always been an inconvenient opponent for England, and they with Netherlands will definitely act just as carefully.

Maybe that's the strength of this Southgate scheme, that everyone knows how England will play but no one can do anything about it.
It should also be noted that England wins in the last minutes, showing character and will to win and what is also very important and Southgate's bench is the best of all teams at the Euros, because few can afford to keep Cole Palmer on the bench, and then release him in the last minutes and he and Watkins will decide the outcome of the game.

Nevertheless, I will be rooting for Spain in the final, because without Spain it would be one of the most boring Euros in my memory.

England seems to have a tendency to play according to the level of their opponents. When they play against a team that is actually below them, England can't play impressively and they seem to be getting carried away by the flow of their opponent's game. Vice versa, when they play against big teams like the Netherlands, England can actually play well because they adjust to what their opponents do, and it even gives them control of the game. If the England team really had characteristics and tendencies like that, then there is a possibility that they would be able to match Spain throughout the game.

England played very well yesterday, if you evaluate in the game they acted better in attack, maybe the reason is that they conceded first, because they always start playing more actively after that, but they acted like that from the very beginning, the Netherlands decided to give them the initiative and perhaps this was their mistake. Perhaps the moment with the penalty was dubious, I can’t determine for sure, on the one hand it was a kick on Kane’s foot, on the other hand it was after hitting the ball, anyway, England are in the final and now Spain is waiting for its opponent.
