Second semi final kicks off in just over 3 hours. Spain await the winner of Englands vs Netherlands in the final.

I actually think England might run out of luck here. They haven’t been able to beat Slovakia or Switzerland in normal time, I think they get punished by a better team tonight.
I agree with you. England have narrowly escaped several stages with penalties and Netherlands have won many matches without a penalty shootout which shows that they are use to scoring goals.

England is similar to France this year's Euro, they only managed to qualify with penalties without the ability of scoring goals easily. Their fate will be the same as France. We don't need a dull finals.
This match not going into extra time  all scores will be settled at full time. It's a very important game for the bother nations and they will be very careful not to make nasty mistakes as it's going to be a tough clash because the two teams have a good defense which means we shouldn't expect not more than two goals from this game.

If England could perform much better than they played against Switzerland they could be at a higher chances of getting the first goal in this game as they are with the best attacking numbers than Netherlands.  But if the Netherland should take the lead they will  win this game before England will realize it.

Netherlands vs England

Netherlands XI: Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Aké; Schouten, Reijnders; Malen, Simons, Gakpo; Depay.

England XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guéhi, Trippier; Rice, Mainoo; Saka, Bellingham, Foden; Kane.

Spain has done their part just waiting for the opponent to face in the final, I don't see any obstacles for Spain in lefting the trophy because non of this two teams have consistent performance as Spain, Netherlands have even try to reach this level because they the only and the first place in 3rd best place that are still alive and England that finished first in the table only won a match. Let wait and see who Spain opponents will be few minutes to go.
The semi-final match between the Netherlands and England will start in a few minutes, so I don't think we need to buckle up because it is very unlikely that we will see a match that is fast, aggressive and also has high intensity in the match later, if we look at the match what they have been through before reaching the semifinals, looking at the game of the two teams so far we will most likely see a boring match because maybe both teams will try to play carefully in that the match, I personally don't expect to see a tight match in the match because it is actually possible will be disappointing for us.

Looking at the line ups fielded by the two coaches in the match, it can be seen that the two coaches have not really made many changes, except for only one change that has occurred in the current squad of the two teams, the Dutch have again relied on Donyell Malen to replace Steve Bergwijn in their current front line , as well as what the English national team is currently doing, which has also fielded Marc Guehi again to replace Ezri Konsa in the English defense line, I think the small changes that occurred may not really affect the current performance of the two teams later.

To be honest, it's very difficult for me to decide which team to bet on in the Netherlands v England match because I think both teams are not very good even though they made it through to the semi-finals. Although, if I consider the players in their squad, then I would say the England squad has players who seem promising enough to be able to play and get good results. But the fact is, in the previous matches too, none of them were really easy to get a win.

Thus, although England looks quite favored when considering the odds available, then I think it is also not wrong because I also still rate England better. But even so, to be honest, it doesn't make me confident to bet for England to win in this match, because I think Netherlands and England have an equally good chance of winning in this match.

Today there is going to be one last dance before the final. I have noticed Southgate has started to use a different formation after leaving the group stage behind. Rather than 4-2-3-1, he is using 3-4-2-1 now.

Is there any big change? I can't say there is so much.  Tongue  But it is still better for them to use a more offensive formation. England has the best squad among all teams in the competition. They should play as offensive as possible.

But even though I say this, we will most probably watch another boring Southgate football. I think this game will end up by penalty shootouts and England will get another victory. And after a final push I expect them to lose in another Euro final.  Grin

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.
So if it goes to a shoot-out today, I think England will win it. Holland are the better team i think, so they should win the game within 90 or 120 minutes to reach the final. England havent lost a game and drawn two in this europe champinship, so thats not a bad performance. And Holland lost 1 game against Austria, which was a great game with 5 goals. So in 20 minutes it starts and I think we will see a really good game like yesterday. I think Holland winning the game by 90 minutes or England winning on penalties.

Before I came to the forum, I checked out there LiveScore and saw the formation that Southgate came with this time around. This summation would be nice if Jude Bellingham would sit at the center of the midfield. I have seen that Saka has been retired to the defense in order to help the three man defense together with Tripier. This formation in no doubt is going to help England because the attacking force of Netherlands is much with Memphis depay and gakpo having a lot of energy.

I believe both England and Netherlands will be very careful in today's football because any country that will be able to score first might be the winner of today's match. I am not anticipating any much goals because there have never been a lot of goals in this season euro .competition

In the main you were right the Spanish national team deservedly defeated France and reached the final.
Spain coped without Carvajal and by the way Jesus Navas replaced Carvajal on the right flank very well and in fact was able to contain Mbappe for those 60 minutes that he was on the field. When he got a yellow card in the 12th minute it was a bit worrying, but then Navas played great, as well as the whole Spanish team.
Apparently today we are waiting for England to reach the final, because although Southgate's team shows boring soccer, but they should beat the Netherlands.

I doubt whether England will win today. England should win against Netherlands though. But we don't see a very good performance from England in the past matches. Despite having a strong squad, England have several problems within their squad. Harry kane is also not in good form now. We did not see good performance of England players in the last match against Switzerland. England were lucky to qualify for the semi-finals.

Netherlands' past record against England is very good. Netherlands have won 4 of their last 5 matches against England. Despite England's strong squad, they lost against the Netherlands in the past. So there is no chance to say for sure that England will win today's match. Netherlands has a big chance to win. I think Netherlands will win the match.

I was not expecting 3 goals in the first half between Spain and France at all, they were very good defense team indeed France was the best team until this game in defense only allowing one goal. The second time was more like the normal France game and ended up with no goals for both teams, France offensive was really a mess in this tournament and i dont know why because they have super players in that positions.
Thinking that this match would not be more than two goals, meaning that I thought 1-1 was the initial prediction, the fact is that Spain is superior in the game in terms of ball possession, the level of accuracy of passing is also higher than Spain than France.

Spain won deservedly because they played more neatly including in possession of the ball with the right pass accuracy, so after seeing this match until the second half France still had difficulties that in the end they had to submit to Spain.

Even bookmakers can not yet determine the favorite of this pair. The odds for Spain are a little less than 2.8 against 3.2 for France, but the gap is too small to say that Spain is the favorite in this match.

Today Spain will have Jesus Navas, who became world champion in 2010 and he should replace Carvajal, but France will not have Griezmann, although before this match Griezmann was not very stable at this tournament, as well as Mbappe, who apparently has not yet gained the necessary form.

I would like more goals in this game, but I am afraid that France will park the bus and try to exhaust the strength of the players of the national team, and the French will wait for their chance in counterattacks.


Griezmann is not as important for France as Carvajal is for Spain. Jesus is certainly a good player but he cannot replace Carvajal and Mbappe will certainly have an easier game. Nevertheless, I believe that Spain will play better and reach the final and France will finish the tournament here.

For me, France has simply been too weak in all of its games so far and Spain has played well in general.

There is actually a different vibe when a good team is playing against another good team. The experience will be quite different from when a good team is playing an average team. It could be that England must have in one way or the other on directed Slovakia and Switzerland, now that they know that Netherland is a better team they would also step up their play. Anything that has a advantage also has an advantage, England playing extra time in two of their last matches will definitely do it up to fatigue but it also has given them enough experience on how to play extra time matches.

Spain are the favorite to lift this year euro competition, but they will find it difficult if the eventually meet England at the finals.
And if they meet the Netherlands in the final, will it be easier for them?

Spain defeated France 2-1, becoming the first team to reach the Euro 2024 final. In the semifinal match, France took an early lead with Kolo Muani in the 9th minute, but Spain equalized when 16-year-old Lamine Yamal scored in the 21st minute. Just four minutes later, Dani Olmo secured Spain’s place in the final of Euro 2024 with another goal. While I can’t say I was disappointed that France was eliminated due to their defensive style of play, I was pleased to see Spain advance with their offensive gameplay and exciting matches. As for Lamine Yamal, who is only 16 years old, words fall short in describing his talent. Also Lamine Yamal has become the youngest goal scorer in the tournament’s history.
Since the start of the group stage I have noticed Spain's impressive game they beat 2 strong teams such as Italy and Germany to reach the semi-finals then beat France and now Spain is the main candidate to win the trophy. We are still waiting for Spain opponent in the final whether England or Netherlands, what's clear is that whoever goes to the final, in my opinion, Spain is still better on all sides. The possibility of bad luck that could defeat Spain. By the way Cody Gakpo and Dani Olmo are competing for the golden boot, these two players still have the opportunity to score more goals because they still have 1-2 matches left but I favor Dani Olmo to win it.

The most organized and strongest team of this year's Euro is Spain. From the group stage, we can see the excellent performance of Spain's players. Spain have a stable squad. Coach FUente's support has created strong bonds between the players. Spain's squad lacks experienced players. The performance of the attack depends entirely on the youngsters Yamal and Williams. These two youngsters have been impressing us with excellent performances in every match.

France had a strong squad. Every player in the squad is associated with all the renowned clubs in Europe. Moreover, these players are one of the best players of their club. But their performance in the national team is not good. This is why France can't win against Spain's brilliant match strategy. Although personally I considered Spain as the favorite in this match. The Spain team did not disappoint me. Spain has the biggest chance of becoming Euro Champions. And they deserve to be Euro champions.

In the first semi-final of the Euro championship. French Vs Spain. Spain won this match 2-1 goal. At the beginning of the match did not get a goal after several attacks.  In the nine minutes of the match, Colo muani scored a header to ahead of Franch. A  goal behind Spain finishes the game very well. This match Lamin Yeamal takes the spotlight himself. Become the youngest footballer of Euro history to score a goal in the semi-final. Olemar also scored a goal. Mbappe tried to prevent his side from losing but they lost Spain organized football, especially Lamin Yeamal.
Even though you spelled all the names wrong, what you said is generally correct Grin France took the lead, but when the opponent is Spain, you have to be very careful. Spain took the lead with 2 goals and maintained it throughout the match. Thanks to their intense play and ball retention in the defense and midfield areas, they managed to maintain their advantage until the end of the match. I hope the Netherlands-England match will also be enjoyable. I think this match will be a draw in normal time.

I actually think England might run out of luck here. They haven’t been able to beat Slovakia or Switzerland in normal time, I think they get punished by a better team tonight.

Spain were very promising and they played well with their young players to defeat one of the favorites to win the tournament which is France; it was a well deserve win for Spain because they really played well and deserve to be in the finals.

England today will have to do something entirely different from what they have been doing if they really wants to make it to the finals because if they played as they used to play against Slovakia and Switzerland, they might run out of luck today because Netherlands have good defense and also good attackers that can convert almost all the chances they will create, the only problem in the team is their midfield.

On the other hand, I am not expecting the game to progress to the extra time because I think England can do something this time because Southgate will make corrections from his past mistakes and will want to win this title just as Spain is hoping to win it.

Spain VS England in the finals will be more interesting to watch.

I think England will make it through to the final, they're pretty much underperforming especially from the high expectations we had on their squad depths, who individually did remarkably in their various club but no body quite understands while they still perform this poorly.
Ironic England performance as turned them to the Underdog here, while this might just be their worst performance in a tournament since I can remember.

Fact: many doubted England because their wins were not easy and always went to penalties or extra time wins, I don't think England will have the same luck for the 3rd time. Hahaha

However England will apply the same strategy this won't be any change for Southgate, whereas France's fate ended tragically with their defeat, and we will watch England with Netherlands, hopefully there will be another surprise. Grin
