England vs. Netherlands: England hasn’t exactly dazzled in UEFA Euro 2024, but they’ve managed to reach the semifinals, keeping their redemption hopes alive after a heartbreaking loss in the 2021 Euro final. Standing in their way is the Netherlands, who made it to the semifinals despite finishing third in their group behind Austria and France.
Both teams faced major challenges on their way to the semifinals. England was nearly eliminated in the Round of 16 against Slovakia, only to score two late goals. They then edged out Switzerland in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals. The Netherlands came from behind to defeat Turkey 2-1 in their quarterfinal match.
The winner of this clash will face Spain in the UEFA Euro 2024 final on Sunday at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
