Whoever or whatever team wins is what they deserve. And Spain won that match so of course they deserved to win and advance further there. But honestly I hope Germany wins this match. But it turned out that the host could only go that far. And Spain they have been extraordinary even since the group stage. In the semi-finals, Spain will face Mbappe and his friends. And yes, I agree that France has some advantages in their back line. And actually their attack line is also quite good. It's just that France was not as good as expected in building attacks. Maybe in the semi-finals we will see Spain playing more carefully. And maybe there won't be many goals in that match. But I may not be able to decide which one will be my favorite.

For the Netherlands vs England match, I already have a team that I will favourite. Namely the Netherlands. In terms of depth, England's squad is superior, but I see how the Netherlands have progressed so far and they have always been able to produce very effective games. So I am quite confident with my choice this time.

Personally, it's the opposite, that is, it's difficult for me to decide which team will be my favorite in the Netherlands vs England match. because for me England and the Netherlands have almost the same performance. Their England is actually getting better in contrast to their performance in the group stage. It's just that I'm not sure whether they can win or not when they face the Netherlands. But so far England have always managed to progress further even though their performance is not as good as expected. but England is still progressing to this day. So I would probably prefer it if England won.

It's possible that England will also be favorites if Gareth Southgate can maximize the potential of the England squad. But I'm quite disappointed because I think up to now England are not at their best. because if they are really in the best condition then they should be able to become a team that is quite productive and has a sharp level of attack. I like the depth of the England squad but I might be disappointed with the way they play on the pitch. And I actually see that the Dutch have better self-confidence. So my choice remains the Netherlands. I like how Koeman maximizes every player's potential in the Dutch squad. And the Netherlands also has several variations of strategy that are quite difficult for opponents to predict. For example, in the match against Turkey, I felt that the Netherlands changed their strategy a little because I felt there was something different from the previous matches. And the Netherlands managed to beat Türkiye quite well. even though in the first half the Dutch were trailing by 1 goal. but in the second half the strategy used by the Dutch changed slightly and resulted in the Dutch succeeding in defeating Türkiye in the end.
