Euro 2024 semi-finals, Spain, France, England and the Netherlands are gearing up for critical matches. Spain, aiming for their fourth Euro title, showcased adaptability and resilience in their victory over Germany but face challenges with injuries and suspensions. They anticipate a tough match against France, needing to balance offensive initiative with defensive caution against fast-paced threats like Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe.

England, despite inconsistent performances, have shown resilience and individual brilliance from players like Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka. They face the Netherlands, whose attacking style might suit England’s strengths but pose a threat with players like Memphis Depay and Virgil van Dijk. Despite concerns over Harry Kane’s form, England remains a serious contender, buoyed by growing confidence and historical parallels.

France, known for their defensive solidity, are looking to unlock their attacking potential, particularly from Kylian Mbappe, who has faced challenges due to injury and a protective mask. They anticipate a tough battle against Spain, focusing on midfield dominance and the impact of players like Antoine Griezmann. The Netherlands, after moments of inconsistency, rely on tactical adjustments and wake-up calls to harness their potential against England.

However, both they and England face the challenge of competing against teams perceived to have performed more consistently throughout the tournament. Overall, Spain emerges as a favorite among experts, given their collective play and steady progression. The Euro 2024 semi-finals promise intense matchups, with each team aiming to secure a spot in the final and potentially lift the Euro 2024 trophy.
