The Netherland had to start defending and waiting for a counterattacks just after England leveled with them with Kane's penalty. This gave England control of the entire game taking possession of the midfield down to Netherland yard box, increasing their pressure. I had expected that the dutch will come out and tap this ball with the English boys making the game much entertaining as Spain vs France was but it's just get boring with how they sit behinds their goal post waiting for England to keep pressing them with deadly shots.
Surprisingly, the semi finals are seeing early goals with more goals and games been decided in regular time than it were in the quarter finals.
Having the Netherlanders playing a more reserved football at this stage of the tournament isn’t unusual, trying to build from the back and depend on a counter attack to do your bidding still goes but, it only mounts on you more pressure and with a quality such as we have in England, you have Saka to do those cut ins, Bellingham and Kane to push from the middle, Foden at the other end, they just wouldn’t be able to hold off England.
We would see a single goal for differential in this game and that would be about 2+ odds. This game wouldn’t get into extra time.
