Euro 2024 Semi-Finals Set: France vs Spain, England vs Netherlands

Posted : 07 July 2024

The quarter-final stage of the Euros has concluded, setting the stage for the semi-finals. The first semi-final, featuring France against Spain, will take place this Tuesday at 20:00. The following evening, England will face the Netherlands at 20:00. The winners of these matches will compete in the final next Sunday at 20:00 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

 

France and Spain have a storied rivalry in European football, having clashed four times in major tournament knockout stages, with France holding a 3-1 advantage. France triumphed over Spain in the 1984 Euro final and the 2000 Euro quarter-finals. They also won in the 2006 World Cup round of 16. Spain's sole victory came in the 2012 Euro quarter-finals. The most recent encounter was in the 2021 Nations League final, where France emerged victorious.

 

Spain has been impressive in this tournament, defeating Germany 2-1 in the quarter-finals and scoring the most goals in the tournament so far, with 11. France, in contrast, has struggled offensively, scoring only three goals, including two own goals. Despite this, France's defense has been strong, conceding only one goal. Spain will be without Dani Carvajal, who was sent off against Germany, and Pedri, who was injured. The match promises to be a clash of Spain's potent offense against France's solid defense.

 

England reached the semi-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Switzerland, following an extra-time victory over Slovakia. England's best achievement in the Euros was reaching the final in the previous tournament, where they lost to Italy on penalties. Gareth Southgate, now leading England to his third semi-final in the last four tournaments, hopes to guide his team to victory.

 

Meanwhile, the Netherlands, making their first semi-final appearance since Euro 2004, aim to replicate their 1988 success. Despite being underdogs, Ronald Koeman's team has impressed with their attacking play, notably defeating Romania 3-0 in the round of 16 and overcoming a deficit to beat Turkey 2-1 in the quarter-finals. The last competitive meeting between England and the Netherlands in the Euros was in 1996, where England won 4-1.
