Compared with the friendly kick-off time of the Copa America, the European Championship was played at 3 a.m., and fans did not stay up late to watch, and the first European Championship semi-final was a strong dialogue, with Spain beating France 2-1 to advance to the final. At 3 a.m. Beijing time on July 11, the other semi-final will be played at Borussia Dortmund's home stadium, the Westphalia Stadium, against the Netherlands and England, and CCTV's CCTV5 sports channel will broadcast the key game live.

In the upper and lower halves of the European Cup, the five favorites gathered, and Spain finally stood out, defeating Italy, Croatia, Germany, and France, and announced the return of the king with a wave of 6 consecutive wins, and Spain became the biggest favorite to win the European Championship and became the first team to qualify for the final of the European Championship. In its history, Spain has reached the final of the European Championship four times before, winning three times and finishing runners-up once.

Compared to the top half, the bottom half is a paradise, with the Netherlands and England having their ups and downs in their path to qualification, but not a big test. The Netherlands had a big up-and-down run in the group stage, with only one win, one draw and one loss, and finally passed the group with the third place in the group, and the opponents they met in the knockout stage were not traditional strong teams, the Netherlands faced Romania and Turkey comfortably, and reached the last four of the European Championship again after 20 years.

England, as a seeded team, did not reflect the style of a strong team, winning only one game and scoring only two goals in the group stage, but still qualified as group winners. In the knockout stage, England scored two consecutive games, one was a reversal to beat Slovakia, and the other was a penalty kick to eliminate Switzerland, these two thrilling promotions reflected England's tough temperament, and reached the semi-finals of two consecutive European Championships, making England one of the favorites to win the championship.

The two teams are not far apart in the world rankings, with the Netherlands at 7th in the latest FIFA World Rankings and England at 5th in the world, two places separating the two teams. In terms of value, England's entire team is worth 1.53 billion euros, which is the most expensive team in world football, while the Netherlands is worth only 815 million euros, and the difference between the two teams is almost double. Almost all the players of the Netherlands and England play in the five major European leagues, and England is based on Premier League stars, with more than four players worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the team, and there are many stars.

Looking at the past head-to-head record of the two teams, the Netherlands and England have drawn 7 times, with both sides winning 2 and drawing 3. The most recent meeting was in the UEFA Nations League in 2019 when the two teams drew 1-1. Judging by the course of the first semi-final, the stronger Spanish team finally had the last laugh. The match between the Netherlands and England has similarities with the match between Spain and France.

The Netherlands have scored nine goals in this European Championship while England have only scored five, and the Netherlands is attack-oriented, attacking instead of defending, and England's defense is relatively stronger than attacking. Therefore, fans prefer to see the Netherlands finally reach the final, and Spain to stage an offensive battle, rather than sacrificing the attack, with utilitarian football first England to advance, this is a difficult game, it is estimated that there will be extra time and then a penalty shootout, I hope this time the Netherlands can break the penalty curse and advance to the final.

In the selection of the 2024 Ballon d'Or, Vinicius, Bellingham, and Mbappe are the top players, but the biggest favorite Vinicius has been out of the Copa America and said goodbye to the Golden Ball in advance, and Mbappe is eliminated with the French team, and it is impossible to win the money, at this time Bellingham has become the biggest favorite, as long as England reaches the European Championship final and finally wins the championship, the Golden Ball Award will definitely be Bellingham's, so the biggest highlight of this game is whether Bellingham's play can help England advance to the final.
