For me, England will have to bring out their best tonight if they want to play Spain in the finals because Netherlands in this tournament have been stubborn and resilient too. They have been scoring goals in their games and there hasn't been a dull moment with them. Ordinarily, they aren't any match for England but with the way Southgate's boys have been playing in this competition, it gives any team the hope that they can be beaten.
 The last time these two met in 2019 in the UEFA nations league game, Netherlands won 3-1 and strengthened by the fact that in their h2h, Netherlands have more wins than England, Koeman's boys will want to show their prowess again but I don't think the English will sit with their hands folded and let the Orange boys take center stage, especially as this is a critical time of the tournament.
The thing there is will Gareth Southgate employ the arsenal that hasn't been touched in this competition or will he stick with his old ways and expect magic to happen?
Both England and the Netherlands have not been able to show consistency at Euro 2024 even though they have reached the semifinals. I think both teams have the same chance of advancing to the final round, only the hard work and ingenuity of the players can maximize their chances of becoming the winner. England may be the favorite because their squad is even, but Southgate is always experimenting, so England players have difficulty developing their game. Meanwhile, the Netherlands will play Spartan even though the performance of their attack line has not been satisfactory, but I am sure Koeman will not make any mistakes in managing his troops' play.

In rhythm Spain were ahead of France before full time and they eventually secured the final with the lead. France attacked as much as Spain but could not attack as much. The way Spain counter-attacked as well as the way they delivered the right ball, but France couldn't deliver the ball.  Mbappe had two early chances but couldn't finish brilliantly. 

All the fans are waiting for the first finalist of the tournament Spain and the second final team because today there is a semi final match between Netherlands and England the winner of this match will fight against Spain in the final. 

In today's match, there is no chance for England or Netherlands to lead anyone because any team can win here.

I never expected Spain to remain down for so long and though Randall Kolo Muani's 8' goal kind of put Spain on edge, Yamal's 21' equalizer set them at ease and as if that wasn't enough, Olmo had to add more salt to the injury France. It's safe to say we had an entertaining first half in which Spain undoubtedly showed dominance. Since this competition started, they have been the only team to win straight five and of this ends like this, it will be six wins with goals to booth.
 Didier Deschamps will see his dream of winning the competition as a player and a coach slowly fizzle away if Spain add more fire to their play and to be honest, they don't relent even though they are on the winning side and that's a mentality La Fuentes has imparted in his boys.


A truly exciting match, regardless of who won or lost, it was an exceptional and very entertaining match.
I finally saw a match worthy of a European Championship, worthy of being seen and I repeat, I enjoyed it completely.
I have to say thanks to both France and Spain.

They better do talking about England because all they have been doing since the beginning of this tournament is playing below expectation and I wanted England to show the other nations how fully prepared the are coming into this competition but after their first leg I changed my mind on seeing them as one of the best. Going head to head against a team that is the same as them is not going to be fun or interesting base on how both teams have been managing each game in this competition, judging by past meetings I think Netherlands might get a win in this game because the Orange boys have woken up a bit more than the English guys.
Southgate is never going to change in any way, this is not the moment for him to change tactics or players to start, it is too late for that, I just feel for those guys who are fresh to turn things around for England that Southgate have been keeping on the bench for long. If England loses tonight then the 3rd place they're not seeing it, France will grab that position but until then let's see what the 3 Lions have for us tonight and I hope it will be something we haven't seen from them in this tournament.

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.

Second semi final kicks off in just over 3 hours. Spain await the winner of Englands vs Netherlands in the final.
Congratulations to Spain for the victory to made it to final stage, because I thought France coach will use all those squads to beat Spain with many goals in the semi-final stage, but it was a surprised that the game ended up 2:1 for the favor of Spain. I know France will surely regret for their mistakes in this semi-final stage, because they have the opportunity to lead that semi-final stage but they missed their opportunity that gave Spain the boldness to secured 2 goals in the first half.

Quote
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.
Since they have not been able to break the record to beat Switzerland, I guess they will going to break the record today with 2:1 to beat Switzerland which is my prediction in today game because the squads am seeing among the England, make me to believe that Switzerland team will struggle to secure 1 goal at the end of the game because Spain and England will be the teams to meet in the final stage.

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.

England have already played two rounds of extra time in the Round of 16 and Quarter Finals against Slovakia and Switzerland. I think the players of England might experience more fatigue than the players of Netherlands for their upcoming match today but I guess England are still a better team than Netherlands and they should be able to clear this last hurdle and progress to the finals to play against Spain.
I don't think it will be the third time for England to go to extra time because it's really tiring for the players, preparations may have been made now we know England are a bit boring in the game I hope this time it's a little different where the audience will be fascinated.

Whoever qualifies for the final against Spain is a tough opponent waiting, for me the Netherlands or England looking at the game it will be difficult to face Spain this is just a theory that I give as an illustration, but still any game can happen in the final later.
Despite the strong quality in the England team, they've actually haven't been entertaining in the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship and against a brilliant Netherlands team that i personally think have been more impressive, winning the semi finals game tonight will be a very difficult task for England. The England team have struggled to win their games more than the Netherlands which is why they've already played additional 30 minutes in two of their two games in the knockout stages and should they fail to win against the Netherlands tonight on normal time, winning the game in the extra time or during the penalty shootout might not happen.
The manager of the Dutch national team Ronald Koeman have improved the performance of his team since he took over and is on mission to help them win a major tournament which is why I expect nothing but the best from the team tonight against England

Let's go! Spain - France game is about to start and I think this is going to be much more attracting than the other semi finals matchup.  Tongue  Because Spain are one of the teams with the most impressive football so far.  Smiley

France are a really interesting team. While not conceding many goals they haven't scored that many either. If Spain manage to play against them in the same way they did against Germany then I expect them to be more likely to win.

Germany were playing an attacking game of course. France like to play a controlled game rather than that. So I really wonder what kind of a game we are going to watch. I'm still favouring Spain to win by penalties at worst...

So, analyzing the match with all the facts, I have to say that I was surprised by France, regardless of the result.
I'll explain why, I had seen the French team start really very slowly, and let's say they started to work well in the last two games.
Regardless of the result, this is important for the future world championship to understand where the team is at and what needs to be fixed.

England XG 4.4 While XG Netherlands 7.7. But from other statistical records England are still relatively good including accurate passes per match. The position of British XG according to the source that I encountered was ranked 12th.
Although England lost several statistics, England's chances of being able to surprise the semifinal match.
I believe Southgate has a great tactic to be able to ensure Britain playing in the final against Spain who escaped after defeating France.
I put up hope in England that they will appear not as usual we have seen so far.
England has good squad depth to hope to win against the Netherlands, but the problem is that England is not good enough based on previous performance. England were convincing because of their quality players, but when they got down to the game, everything looked different and ordinary. Of course, because of this, I am a little doubtful that England will win easily over the Netherlands, but I hope that England will qualify for the final against Spain.

England have had a strong defense so far, but they have also not been as productive as expected in terms of scoring goals. The Netherlands tends to be expected to score goals because of its productivity, but the Netherlands' victory is also doubtful considering that England has good squad depth. The Netherlands is favored based on probability, while in some sportsbooks, England is the favourite.

Yamal is such a starboy!  Grin  That goal was more than amazing considering the scorer was a 16-year-old player. A really big player is coming surely. A few years from now, who knows how much improvement he will make...

Huge congrats to Spain as it was a completely deserved one. I really like the way they are playing. Even though they got behind early against a team like France they still came back in no time.  Smiley  If they don't deserve this title I don't know who else does. If Netherlands become their opponent it would be easier to be champions. But if it becomes England I would expect a closer score. England don't play very well but they still have a great squad.

Spain is very worthy and that's why I liked this team since the group stage. They presented a match that was not boring and I think it is only natural that France should be eliminated in the semifinals last night. Lamine Yamal really cooked against France and keep in mind he was still 16 years old and was the MOTM in that match.

The goal scored by Lamine Yamal was also extraordinary and his maturity was tested at a very young age in a competition as big as the Euros. France must start to improve and as one of the top teams they are far from most people's expectations and I think Mbappe is really underperforming here. He didn't show any quality at all and I hope he can return soon. Anyway, thanks to coach Luis de la Fuente who made Spain as good as it is today.
It was good that Spain were able to quickly score two goals, this helped them maintain a winning result until the end of the match, and the French defense was unable to demonstrate its reliability at the most important moment. Perhaps the French team was more attractive to me, but Spain proved throughout the tournament that they did not reach the final in vain. And France should think about why their attack was so weak, after talking about Griezmann’s fatigue, he remained on the bench, and Mbappe, by the way, also could not show what he is capable of.

The European competition has a big match tomorrow as Spain and France go up against each other. Spain performed brilliantly in their quarter-final match against Germany, defeating Germany to secure a semi-final berth. We noticed the same thing with France although France had to use a tiebreaker to win against Portugal. Mbappé is playing for France with some injuries and we don't see his regular game from him on the other hand Spain are performing consistently so there is a good chance for Spain to do well against France. I will favor a draw in this match my prediction is that in the first 120 minutes of the game the scores of both teams will be equal and the result of this match will be decided by Tiebreaker.
what do you actually mean? do you predict the finished match? Has the match not been broadcast in your country yet? Spain managed to win 2-1 against France. Your predictions are wrong even after the match is over.
Now Spain has qualified for the final round and is waiting for the results of the match between the Netherlands and England. If you don't really like football, you can look for news first before making a post. don't push yourself too much.

The second semi-final match of the Euro Cup pits Netherlands against England to qualify for the final. Although in today's match we can confirm that England team might win against the Netherlands. But Netherlands are also playing well at the moment, if they can attack strongly against England then I think they will be successful. However, I am picking England as the favorite in today's match, and they are expected to enter the final. In this match, if the England team can beat the Netherlands and qualify for the final, then they will definitely face Spain in the final. And if these two teams go to the finals, then surely both teams will try hard to become champions. Here is expected to be more interesting game and we are looking forward to it.

I think both teams are equal. I can't see any favorites because neither is playing well.

I think the regular time will end in a draw, most likely penalties will decide who will advance to the final.

If it goes to penalties then I think England will have the advantage and England will advance to the final.

Great game for Spain. They took control over the game since they scored their second goal and they kept their control until the end.
France did absolutely nothing after the first goal by Muani. Spain has a squad, while France has a bunch of overvalued "superstars".
Mbappe played against 38-year old Navas and he didn't do anything impressive, except assisting Muani for the first goal.
There was something wrong with the French national team during the entire Euro 2024 and maybe it's time for Deschamps to leave.
Spain deserved to reach the final and they will most likely win the trophy. I don't think that England or Netherlands are strong enough to win against Spain.
Spain played quite well so far even from the beginning of the qualifiers, they played quite well and impressive so some people also predicted before reaching the big round and the final, Spain is one of the strongest candidates who will get the victory in Euro 2024, and yes they have reached the final this time.

France is not so optimal despite having many stars, they play like any other team, and are not strong enough to deal with Spain, I think if France was on a different chart it might not meet Spain in the semi-final match.

And we are waiting for the result of the Netherlands match with England, this is quite interesting, but I think England can beat the Netherlands although I have doubts about Southgate. Grin
The strategies used by Southgate are really fascinating, much as observing paint dry. Its predictable, dull, and it wont bring you any medals. England has ability, certainly, but with Southgate driving, they resemble a Ferrari with a damaged engine.

This match? We are doing a coin toss. Although the Netherlands may have a small edge from home advantage, England's chances of shooting itself in the foot are good under Southgate's direction. Forget about ability; this game will turn into who makes the fewest mistakes. Hopefully the Three Lions wont vanish on their approach to the target.
