More penalties?
Last time out England overcame Switzerland on penalties, and Oranje legend Wesley Sneijder is expecting more of the same. "I think England still haven't impressed with the top players they have," he said. "They've scraped through twice, but things could easily turn around now. So we certainly shouldn't underestimate them. I expect it to be 1-1 and that we win on penalties."

Coaches' Corner
Ronald Koeman was full of praise for his Dutch side as he looks ahead to Wednesday night's semi-final in Dortmund, as he told UEFA.com -"...we're in the semi-finals with England, France and Spain. We are really proud. We had to suffer but it's a great success to get the opportunity to play in a semi-final." After a bumpy route to the semi-finals, Gareth Southgate was in a more reflective mood - "Our team has been under enormous pressure from the start and they did so well...We're through to our third semi-final in four attempts but that's not where we want it to end."

Head-to-head
Funnily enough, the most recent match up between these two sides was also a semi-final! However, this was a UEFA Nations League final in 2019, which saw the Dutch win 3-1 after extra-time thanks to goals from Matthijs De Ligt, Quincy Promes and an own goal from Kyle Walker. In the five friendlies that took place between the two before 2019, there were two draws, two wins for the Netherlands and one win for England.
