We will get the second participant of the final after the match between the Netherlands and England. The Dutch played a very good group stage, if we exclude the game against Austria, which played the best game of the tournament. If it was just their bad day or a moment of inspiration for the Austrians, the Dutch showed in the match against Romania. During the entire 90 minutes, they had control over the match and passed to the next round, perhaps even easier than expected. The match against Turkey followed, which did not go in the direction they wanted, but they managed to reverse the result with an excellent and calm game. They scored goals after excellent crosses, which is their greatest weapon. They are also very dangerous after corners, because they have players like van Dijk, de Vrij, Weghorst, Ake and others who are very dangerous in the air. Before the start of the tournament, many did not believe that the Dutch could go far, but I think they have now convinced them. Unlike some teams in this tournament, they don't have big stars in the team, except for 3-4 players, but they make up for it with great team play. Among those 3-4 best players are definitely Gakpo, van Dijk and Ake, who play in the Premier League and know very well how to play against this rival. As for England, as much as was expected of them before the start of the tournament, it is an understatement to say that they disappointed. The result is there, but the game and the way they reached this semi-final is very disappointing. A team that has players like Kane, Foden, Bellingham, Saka and many other stars in its ranks, simply cannot play in this way. In the match against Slovakia, although it sounds strange but it is true, they were in a subordinate position. True, they had possession of the ball on their side, but as in every game so far, they did not come up with particularly dangerous chances from that possession. The first shot into Slovakia's goal was exactly that Bellingham goal in the 95th minute, and that perhaps best describes their game in that match. After that they played against Switzerland and the game was almost identical. The English held the ball thoughtlessly and only in the 80th minute did they send the first shot into the opponent's goal. In those two games, with all overtime, they sent only 5 shots on goal, which must be admitted to be a disappointing performance for this type of team. Like France, they play, in my opinion, quite cowardly and too cautiously, and it is a big question how long that style of play will bring them results. The Netherlands is one of the teams that has left quite a good impression so far and they are a team that has shown that they want to compete with their rivals, and not to strictly guard their goal. That will surely force the English to play something different, which can bring us perhaps a slightly more interesting game. I'm sure that England will try to slow down the pace of this match, and since the Dutch have someone to threaten the opponent's goal, I really believe that they have a great chance to remain undefeated in the regular 90 minutes.

荷兰队和英格兰队的比赛结束后，我们将迎来决赛的第二名选手。荷兰队在小组赛中表现非常出色，如果不包括对阵奥地利的比赛的话，奥地利是本届杯赛中表现最好的一场。如果这只是他们糟糕的一天，或者是奥地利人的鼓舞时刻，荷兰队在对阵罗马尼亚的比赛中表现出来。在整个90分钟内，他们控制了比赛，并进入了下一轮，甚至比预期的要容易。接下来是对土耳其的比赛，比赛并没有朝着他们想要的方向发展，但他们成功地用一场出色而冷静的比赛扭转了结果。他们在出色的传中后进球，这是他们最大的武器。他们在角球后也非常危险，因为他们有像范迪克、德弗里吉、韦格霍斯特、阿克这样的球员，他们在空中非常危险。在比赛开始之前，很多人都不相信荷兰队能走得很远，但我认为他们现在已经说服了他们。不像其他参加比赛的球队，除了3-4名球员外，他们没有大牌球星，但他们用出色的团队精神弥补了这一点。在这3-4名最好的球员中，绝对有加普、范迪克和阿克，他们在英超踢球，非常清楚如何对付这个对手。至于英格兰队，尽管在比赛开始前人们对他们寄予厚望，但说他们令人失望也不为过。结果就在那里，但是这场比赛和他们进入半决赛的方式非常令人失望。一支拥有像凯恩、福登、贝灵汉、萨卡和许多其他球星的球队，根本不能用这种方式踢球。在对阵斯洛伐克的比赛中，虽然听起来很奇怪但却是事实，他们处于从属地位。的确，他们有控球权，但就像迄今为止的每场比赛一样，他们并没有在控球中创造出特别危险的机会。斯洛伐克的第一脚射门正是贝灵汉在第95分钟的进球，这也许最能描述他们在那场比赛中的表现。之后他们对阵瑞士，比赛几乎一模一样。英格兰人控球很粗心，直到第80分钟，他们才将第一脚射进了对手的球门。在这两场比赛中，加上所有加时赛，他们只有5次射门，必须承认这对这种类型的球队来说是令人失望的表现。就像法国队一样，在我看来，他们的打法相当怯懦和过于谨慎，这种打法能给他们带来多久的成绩是个大问题。荷兰队是迄今为止给人留下很好印象的球队之一，他们已经表明他们想要与对手竞争，而不是严格守住自己的球门。这肯定会迫使英国人玩一些不同的东西，这可能会给我们带来一个更有趣的游戏。我相信英格兰队会放慢比赛的节奏，因为荷兰队有对手的威胁，我真的相信他们有很大的机会在常规的90分钟内保持不败。
