Since we are down to our last four teams, let’s take a look at the current odds to win it all, courtesy of BetOnline.

• Spain +185
• England +265

If you’ve been keeping up on where my head has been at all EURO long, you’d know I’ve looked at just 3 teams all tournament, and all 3 remain in the Semifinals. I looked at England at +300, Spain at +800, and the Netherlands at +1800 prior to the start of EURO 2024. So far, we are looking real good.

We should explore these two matchups in more depth.

EURO 2024 Semifinal Matchups

France has not advanced past the Quarterfinals since their victory in the EURO 2000.

Spain vs France

In the thrilling clash between France (2nd) and Spain (8th), both teams are set to face off once again after their encounter in the UEFA Nations League in October 2021. This match comes just a few months after the EURO 2020 tournament, where France emerged victorious with a 2-1 triumph. Despite their strong performance, France only managed to progress from the Group Stage in EURO 2020, suffering a defeat in the Round of 16 against Switzerland in Penalty Kicks. On the other hand, Spain finds themselves in the Semifinals of EURO 2024 for the second consecutive time, having faced a loss against Italy, the eventual champions, in a 1-1 draw that was settled by Penalty Kicks.

Presently, we witness a promising young talent who recently embarked on a significant move from his native land, facing a team brimming with ambitious young talents eager to leave their mark. Unfortunately, they will be deprived of the services of midfielder Pedri, who sustained an injury a mere 10 minutes into the quarterfinal match against Germany and has been deemed unfit for the remainder of the tournament. Nevertheless, I maintain the belief that the Spanish team will emerge triumphant.

Once more, after consistently favoring Spain throughout my coverage of EURO 2024, I remain undeterred even by Pedri’s injury. This team possesses incredible depth, consistently scores goals, unlike the French, and boasts a reliable defense. They exhibit fearless soccer, and I am confident that tomorrow I will find a means to support them.

The Dutch backline is led by Virgil Van Dijk as their captain.

Netherlands vs England

In a surprising turn of events, both the Dutch (7th) and English (5th) teams managed to advance to the semifinals after intense quarterfinal matches. Personally, I have been rooting for England since the start of the tournament, especially considering their devastating loss just three years ago. However, being aware of England’s tendency to falter, I refrained from placing any bets despite their +300 pre-tournament odds. Historically, England has found ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but fortunately, they have managed to defy expectations so far in this competition.

Jude Bellingham emerged as the savior of the nation in the Round of 16, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Despite being on the verge of elimination, they managed to push the game into Extra Time, where they eventually secured a triumph. After fiercely battling the Swiss for 75 minutes without conceding, they faced a potential downfall when the opponent finally scored. However, undeterred, they quickly regrouped, equalized just six minutes later, and ultimately emerged victorious in the penalty shootout.

Despite initially trailing against Turkey, the Dutch swiftly turned the tables by securing a few victories to secure their place in the Semifinals. Regarding this upcoming match, my bias towards the Dutch aside, I believe they are currently exhibiting superior soccer skills and will manage to defeat the English.
