Traditional Powerhouses Prevail as Final Four Set: Spain Faces France, Netherlands Against England in European Championship

Spread the love

The final four spots in this year’s European Championship are now secured. Spain, having won the tournament three times, remains undefeated, while traditional powerhouses France, England, and the Netherlands, despite lackluster performances, have made it through. The outcomes of these semi-final matchups are highly unpredictable.

Spain vs. France

Spain’s recent clash with Germany was perhaps the most exciting and intense match of this Euro Cup, featuring fierce midfield battles that resulted in one red card and 13 yellow cards. Although Spain emerged victorious, they are now dealing with significant injuries and suspensions: defenders Nacho and Dani Carvajal are suspended, and midfielder Pedri is out injured. France, on the other hand, managed to advance to the semi-finals after a 120-minute match and a penalty shootout win against Portugal. Throughout the tournament, France has struggled to score, relying on own goals and penalties. Facing an unbeaten Spain with no regular play goals so far, France’s prospects appear grim.

Netherlands vs. England

The Netherlands, despite a mediocre group stage performance, were trailing 1-0 at halftime in their match against Turkey but managed to secure a 2-1 comeback victory. This quarter-final match was the only one that didn’t go into extra time, and the Netherlands has reached the Euro Cup semi-finals for the first time in 20 years. England, continuing their unremarkable style of play, relied on goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s notes to win in a penalty shootout against Switzerland. Both teams have been unconvincing, but with manager Gareth Southgate’s apparent good fortune, England is seen as having a slight edge.
