This is England’s lineup to face Netherlands in the semi-final

England will face the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-final tonight, with both teams vying for a spot in Sunday’s final in Dortmund. The Three Lions showed resilience in their quarter-final match against Switzerland, ultimately advancing via penalties with standout performances from players like Bukayo Saka. However, Gareth Southgate’s squad knows they must elevate their game further to overcome the Dutch.

Despite being slight favorites, England will need to be cautious of the Netherlands’ attacking threats, including Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simons, and Memphis Depay. These players have been instrumental in the Netherlands’ journey to the semi-finals and pose a significant challenge to Southgate’s defense.

In an unfortunate incident earlier today, five people were injured following clashes between Netherlands and England fans in Dortmund. Videos circulating on social media showed supporters in orange jerseys throwing stools and glasses outside a local bar, forcing England fans to take cover inside. UK police have confirmed the altercation and are investigating the incident.

As the match approaches, the focus will return to the football, with both teams eager to secure their place in the final. The semi-final promises to be a thrilling encounter, with England aiming to continue their impressive run and the Netherlands determined to spoil their party.
