The semi-finals of the European Championship have already been decided, and in addition to Spain and France on one side, the Netherlands and England will face each other on the other.
The Netherlands have had a great Euro Cup so far, finishing third in their group but have made it into the top four teams in the tournament. They eliminated Romania in the round of 16 and Turkey in the quarter-finals to get to where they are today. On the other hand, England, one of the teams expected to win the tournament, have failed to impress and are still not convincing, even though they are in the semi-finals after going through to the quarter-finals in extra time against Slovakia and after going through to the semi-finals on penalties against Switzerland.
Here are the last 10 meetings between England and the Netherlands:
