England vs Netherlands: Three Lions head to Dortmund for Euro 2024 semi-final
England's quest to win Euro 2024 heads to Dortmund on Wednesday night for a semi-final showdown with the Netherlands.
The Three Lions booked their place in the last four with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over France on Saturday, while the Netherlands came from behind to beat Turkey 2-1 in their quarter-final.
It will be the first meeting between the two sides at a major tournament since the 1990 World Cup, when England won 1-0 in the group stage. The Netherlands have won the last two meetings between the sides, including a 3-2 victory in the UEFA Nations League in 2019.
England manager Gareth Southgate is likely to make changes to the side that beat France, with Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden pushing for starts. The Netherlands are expected to be without defender Stefan de Vrij, who is suspended after being sent off in the quarter-final.
The match is set to be a close and entertaining affair, with both sides possessing plenty of attacking quality. England will be looking to reach their first major final since Euro 1966, while the Netherlands will be hoping to win their first major trophy since Euro 1988.
