⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers➡Group Stage➡1/8➡QF➡HF➡FINAL

[Zanab247]

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

[giammangiato]

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.

[Lidger]

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.

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.

[Volgastallion]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Even though you spelled all the names wrong, what you said is generally correct 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.

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.

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? 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.

[Polkeins]

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.

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.

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.

[Chilwell]

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.

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.
