England vs Netherlands Preview
The Netherlands, under the guidance of Ronald Koeman, have experienced a mixed campaign en route to the semi-finals. The group stage saw the Dutch secure victories over Poland and a draw against France, but a defeat to Austria in their final match cast some doubt on their form. In the knockout rounds, the Oranjes had a comfortable win over Romania but faced a tougher test against Turkey. They managed to come from behind to win 2-1, thanks to a late own goal.
Southgate’s 101st game in charge will see England try to become just the sixth team to make consecutive European Championship finals, and a familiar foe stands between them and a place in Sunday’s showpiece in Berlin. Despite reaching yet another semi-final, England is not firing on all cylinders. Star players like Harry Kane, Phil Foden, and Jude Bellingham haven’t quite replicated their stellar club performances on the international scene.
England vs Netherlands Team news
Luke Shaw is ready to start. Harry Kane was taken off during extra time last weekend. He will be fit to build on a fine record in the Euros knockout phase. Koeman is likely to stick with most of his starting XI, though right-winger Steven Bergwijn was withdrawn at half time in both knockout rounds and finds his place under threat from Donyell Malen, who plays his club football in Dortmund.
