England reach the last four! This Saturday, the Three Lions narrowly won against Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. The English side eliminated the Swiss in the penalty shootout (1-1 / 5-3 after TAB).

Jordan Pickford was the hero of this session by stopping the penalty of the Swiss defender of Manchester City Manuel Akanji. The Everton goalkeeper had prepared for a possible penalty shootout in this quarter-final. Indeed, images have leaked on social networks where we see the names of the shooters with their preferred side on his water bottle.

For the second time in a row, England will play in the semi-final of a European Nations Championship. Gareth Southgate’s players dream of playing in a final again but above all of changing the scenario.

To do this, they will have to get rid of the Netherlands, who have been quite solid since the start of the competition. Ronald Koeman’s men have a slight psychological advantage over the last direct confrontations with 3 victories over the English in the last 5 matches…
