England vs. Netherlands PREVIEW 🔮 They have to STEP IT UP to win it all! - Steve McManaman | ESPN FC 

But Austria humbled them.

@@afolabitoye4393 Austria is a better team than England or any other team England played though

@@afolabitoye4393 that's the one off day he mentioned

@@Denyo666@Denyo666 Turkiye struggled against Georgia in their first match. Portugal outclassed them in the second round. They needed a red to win against Czechia in their last group match, but someone humbled Austria, who beat Holland and Poland in the second round. Football is dynamic.

​​@@Denyo666 Individually Austria are know where near as good as England. Hopefully England finally show up and prove their quality.

That they can't. The British lack respect for others. They don't have that quality at all

@@soyouseethis what😂 I’m British and I’ve always liked the Dutch, tf have I done wrong to you😂

The British love the Dutch. Old allies. The British love Portugal too, old allies. Blame the Krauts for invasion, and Napoleon

@@bluesEvanskro It was quite a surprise for me too that people think that the British media equals British people!

​@@soyouseethisFirstly ESPN are American not British. There's only Mcmanaman on their panel that's English. The other 2 clowns are Scottish and french and hate England.

Netherlands wouldn't be in my top five teams. It's fair to call them not great.

@@guybrushthreepwood9071 I'm old enough to remember some great Dutch teams. This team is nowhere near them.

@@jpwartist that’s fair, we are a small country of course we can’t have great teams all the time. We have been very lucky tbf, our best teams are better than any teams the English have ever had and they are a way bigger nation

@@FavreianVengeance this England team I rate at least three teams lower than the dutch, so you can decide for yourself where this english squad would be.

@@FavreianVengeancewhy is england great?

@@01kaluks24 they have to, the starting eleven all average earn 100k a week … they must deliver

@@01kaluks24 fated, not plot armour

They have had plot armour for the last 2 euros and 2 world cups but they are so garbage even plot armour can’t help em 😂

@@iannovak5223 ha, this time we win

@@ThomasCrompton-mq1ft Maybe. I mean after Portugal's disgraceful win in 2016, anything is possible.

Stick to the facts. England has quality players like Kane Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Palmer. So the quality is there!

The reason; McManaman is a knobhead.

England have been better as of recent, 3 semi finals in 4 major tournaments + a tight quarter vs France. Netherlands are a decent team, they aren't a top team like Spain, France, Portugal, Germany. Netherlands haven't really been very good in this tournament either, they've rode their luck quite a bit. Third in the group when they played Poland without Lewandowski, France without Mbappe, lost to Austria, a result that flattered them vs Romania & a pretty close game vs Turkey who also had one of their most important/best players suspended. There is an overall difference of quality player for player between Netherlands and England, on paper it's very obvious who should win - but both teams have been poor so pretty much anything can happen and nobody is saying otherwise.

@@dvwut Exactly.

@dvwut Both England and the Dutch didn't play very well this tournament. On paper England has the better players. Does this guarantee a win for England? Not so sure about that!

We can only hope but netherlands are chokers and England have all the luck

England I’ll not lose this game 3 Mickey Mouse brackets in a row impossible to choke all these rigged tournaments

Weghorst won’t start

England are also chokers ​@@clarencegaultieri8293

Weghorst is legally bound to not go on before half time.

Dude are you ok ? They in the semi final now. Are you reetard?

The opposition England have played, and mostly will play, do not have a squad with the depth of England. Secondly, you have the option of making tactical as well as personnel adjustments to counter any of the opponents moves. Football at a high level is a tad chess like, and most fans expect to see a Man City vs Sheffield Utd result, which rarely happens. England are happy to wear down the opposition, knowing also that most replacements offer the same quality. Add that most goals are scored because of defensive mistakes and not genius play, England have a good winning formula. Not pretty but proven effective. Germany in 90', Brasil in 94', or Italy (in any tournament) were very similar. The "try not to lose" tactic.

Staggering, really.

@@lastpenny849I’d agree with you totally if the games were boring but we were winning without letting them near our goal. But each team has been able to penetrate and get very good chances on goal, it’s just pure luck and a bit of poor finishing from lower ranked teams that have seen us scrape the games to get us where we are. I agree international is like a game of chess but allowing the opponents the chances we have done so far Holland, Spain and France will demolish us as when they get the chance they will likely convert with the quality they have in attack.

​@@Oldyellowbrick The old saying that you play what is in front of you is often true. England haven't been good, but they also haven't lost a game yet. So, if they actually play well, you could argue no other team should beat them. Only Spain have looked cohesive, and they are missing 4-5 starters for the semi. France haven't scored from open play yet and Holland were beaten by Austria. Not one team remaining is scary, and if England play better than the previous game, they will prevail.

If koeman doesn't decided to play useless bergwijn instead like the last 2 matches.. He changed to bergwijn after malen being MotM... So who knows...

England will win it. Been watching for 35 years now. Spain 3 : France 1, England 2 : Netherlands 0 England 1 : Spain 0. Spain the better side but England will play their heart out knowing that.

Inshallah!!! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 Malen is awesome!!!

Fuckin A, brother.

​@@dushyantchaudhry4654Wishfull thinking.

😂

We need more cross passing and I would even argue to add an extra keeper to get a bit more passing around the back

Netherlands will but at the 1st counter attack by England , they will shut shop...both teams have problems...they will play sideways for 120 mins and then hope to go thru on penalties

​@@sugoshiyer1540 England is getting knocked out!!

Gakpo will run our right back ragged first goal gakpo one all england win pens

@@eL--RaL You said that since the last 16 you 🤡

3 goals, Gakpo, weghoese and VVD from corner

100%

200%, Make sure you all in Netherlands

I hope so

Nah, it will be England 3 Neverland 2 😊

​At least the Nederlanders have won a euros when did England last win one of those... Oh never that's right​@@olikane530

England is much better than Brazil, which lost to Colombia

@@maxb6078 I really meant more of a comparison of talent + hardware won in the last few years. Both haven’t brought anything home in ages if you exclude brazils gold medal a while back

@@maxb6078 also Colombia could very well be the best team in the world currently. Unbeaten in 2 years

Why does it pain you to say that though? 😅

Good one dude!😎

Southgate is too risk averse. Shaw won't start.

@@SunJake hopefully we win tonight 😬

You can't get three points in a knockout game.

😂😂​@@monkey39128

@@monkey39128 Doesn't matter. Fact is 0 - 1 behind, than equalizer and on top the winning goal. So don't try to be smart cause you are not!

@@ZaimoZaragazzomy guy, Netherlands goals were completely awful. Absolutely zero defence from turkey, I think you’re the one that’s not very smart

@@ZaimoZaragazzo Feel free to talk in your native language if you're not too good with English. I can always use the translate button.

Big mistake. Every team has defended that's why it's been super tight.

​@@Genevasplaytime I agree. Teams have been trying to stifle England. I doubt Holland will want it to go to penalties so will try and win this game. I'm hoping this might give England's attacking players some space to do some damage.

@@jimmygoody3187 We dont want penalties or overtime, we want to attack.

The problem with that (apart from the counter issue) is that its energy absorbing..Its not just pace its movement, Walker is fast but he sometimes be indecisive...

Netherlands could lose by 2+ goals if they do that. England wants to play counter football.

Unfortunately thjs will be the final and England will win as the worst team to ever win a euro .

​@@clarencegaultieri8293 you obviously don't remember Greece and their anti football winning it in 2004. Or Portugal in 2016 who won by winning only one match in 90 minutes. They didn't even win a group game.

big opinion

Never gonna happen

BUKAYO SAKA is d most dangerous player in d English Team. But if d Dutch can underestimate him as d Swiss did, then England will win. But if they mark him well then there may be troubles ahead.

@@jehoshua7102Nathan Ake always played well against Saka and eliminated him with city against arsenal. He knows the blueprint how to play against him.

True but Foden should play in the middle

😂😂😂. Ask slovakia and Swiss for score first 😂😂😂

@@KLHK1981ask Romania

Holland seems to have a habit of having to come from behind...

@@evp3891 So does England

Over?? No, if the Netherlands scores 2, or more, it's over. But England have proven they can come back from 1-0.

Valid tbf

Not far fetched but Netherlands have lost too

England win 1-0

No chance they always choke and England has horseshoes

England and Netherlands have been both bad it will be wat it will be on the day

Harry Kane sounds like a character from hogwarts

On paper Dutch have better players. Look defence Dutch all better

I think the Dutch at this moment have more talent, but Koeman is not using them properly, Malen, Frimpon, Vd Ven, Maatsen, Zirikzee, Verbruggen, Schouten, Rijnders, and all had a great season and play at top clubs

2026 we will beat the world!

Has said many times he hates england. Great professional pundit..no bias

England have a good chance against anyone.

🤣🤣🤣

Same was said against Switzerland

Really??

They literally all said that England is going to win this game…

​@@otterpoopieand England will win against Netherlands!

Was that before or after the Argentina lost their first game to Saudi Arabia?

Easy win for England

Gakpo has looked dangerous every time he gets the ball, so a brace or a hat trick is not out of order.

@@Midwesterner223Saka Jude Kane and an og. 4-1 like in 96

Tried to get a ticket 🎫 on the bus back to holland but couldn’t because the dutch soccer ⚽️ team took all of the bus seats 💺 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah it’s ridiculous but I hope he sends England home if no one else can lol

England 3 Neverland 2 😊

Never gets a chance to speak😂😂😂😂

Maybe a vaccine sales man😂

SPAIN lost the 1st game and scored only 6 goals in 7 games during the tournament..Nederland did not lose a single game 1 year, won every game in the tournament only to lose 1-0 in the final minute of 120 min in over time...Spain did not deserve that win

@@Arubapower13 And if there was a VAR then, the goal was offside

You’re saying that England will win the 2024 euros 😂

Everyone wanted the Swiss to win - didn't happen. Same will with Netherlands

outplayed lol

They almost lost to Slovakia lol​@@maxb6078

absolutely

I think the commentators feels it's better to write England off and then for England to possibly surprise everyone than to get everyone's hopes up like last time and then for everyone to be depressed for 2 weeks after England lose. That's my understanding.

Nouuuu... ook vaak wandelvoetbal. Teveel haantjes ook

As long as he stays over there in the US and keeps away from co-commentary for TNT or any other UK network, i'm happy.

@afolabitoye4393😂😂😂😂 ,so after literally struggling against sides like Slovakia, Denmark...you now seriously expect Netherlands to be a walk in the park for england!?.....talk of the entitlement, but let's wait and see coz Southgate is still the manager.

Yeah, this team/ match will bring out the best of England, could well be an exciting game 😊

@@georgesalano5771 Did the Netherlands not struggle against Poland and Austria?

@@afolabitoye4393 correct,so having admitted both teams have struggled, how then does it become a straightforward match for england......and remember england somehow...I mean somehow came in as favorites to win this euros....quite laughable.But again it's football so let's wait and see

@@afolabitoye4393 and Turkey.

Say it.

Wherever that trophy ends up, that will be its home (for four years).

It's coming home

I’m hearing that intro music somewhere in the distance…

There's been crosses and cutbacks...Kane no where near it, still jogging from half way line. Drop Kane, England win.

He generally sniffs the pitch because he's lying face first on it after diving.
