Euro 2024
Semi-finals
Netherlands v England
Signal Iduna Park
Dortmund, Germany
Wednesday, 10 July 2024
Kick-off is at 21h00
Netherlands are all that stands between England and a second consecutive
European Championship final as they prepare to go head to head at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund on Wednesday, July 10.
Like the Oranje, the Three Lions are looking to end a long and painful trophy drought, having won their one and only title back in 1966 as World Cup hosts.
Gareth Southgate's side came within one kick of conquering Europe three years ago when they lost to Italy on penalties at Euro 2020 and they're desperate to make amends in Germany.
England haven't been anywhere near their best on this occasion, although they showed tremendous character to fight back against Switzerland in the quarter-finals before triumphing 5-3 on penalties.

Southgate declared it as their best performance of the tournament and felt that reaching a third semi-final in six years was a special achievement for the players.
"I just thought the players were brilliant. It's the best we have played," Southgate told the BBC. "I thought we caused them a lot of problems. They are a really good side. They are hard to press, they are hard to defend against, their movement is good.
"To come from behind again and show the character and resilience we did, talking to the players about that, winning tournaments isn't just about playing well. It's not just about that. You've got to show other attributes to win and we showed them all tonight.
"We played well today and we had to be tactically spot on. I don't know what people think of us but we are in a third semi-final, so that says a lot about the group."
