England’s quest for glory at Euro 2024

The Three Lions ready to roar in semi-final against the Netherlands

England has taken another step towards glory at Euro 2024 by qualifying for the semi-finals after a series of thrilling matches. Despite underwhelming performances during the group stage, Gareth Southgate’s men have found the necessary resources to rank among the tournament’s top four teams. In the round of 16, England had to fight hard against Slovakia. Trailing in the score, the Three Lions relied on Jude Bellingham to equalize at the last minute, before Harry Kane sealed the victory in extra time. Switzerland was their next opponent in the quarter-finals. Breel Embolo gave the Swiss the lead, but Bukayo Saka snatched an equalizer, allowing England to win on penalties thanks to an outstanding Jordan Pickford.

The tough Netherlands, for the semi-finals

The Netherlands, England’s next opponents, also had a challenging journey. After a disappointing group stage, they eliminated Romania in the round of 16 and overturned Turkey in the quarter-finals thanks to a goal from Stefan de Vrij and an own goal by Mert Muldur. The clash between England and the Netherlands will take place on Wednesday, July 10, at BVB Stadion Dortmund. If victorious, the Three Lions would qualify for the final in Berlin, scheduled for Sunday, July 14. English fans hope their team can maintain this momentum and clinch the coveted title.
