I am dutch and I am very aware we could lose tonight but before every match it is said 'Oh, the Netherlands won't make it, they will struggle big time' and yet here we are still....
Been saying the same about England brother, fortunately I spent time living in holland so I wonât be too disappointed either outcome đ
I'm living in Den Haag and We will be dancing naar Rex links later. Holland 2 1
Love the Dutch! May the best team win teamđŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó żđ€đłđ±
@@Damian-qu2fgthe only big team we played was France and could only play for a draw. This is going to penalties.
Whoever wins is likely to lose to Spain.
CZcamsâs predictions have been more spot on than you lot for the entire tournament.
Second rate pundits. Had the worst coverage of the tourney so far
What âyoutubeâs predictionsâ? Pretty much all predictions of youtubers Iâve seen had no upsets and had Germany, Portugal, France and England in the semifinals.
@@mabusestestament I think he means the youtube polls... Not the predictions from individual youtubers. The wisdom of the crowd..

Okay, thanks đ»
@@jackrobinson6998you havenât watched BBC or ITV then.
JĂŒrgen Klinsmann is the only one with any authority there, what a surprise he's talking sense.
He gave arguably the least interesting analysis of the whole panel. Leboeuf, McManaman and Burley all had good to great careers, they all have "authority" to speak, not that being a great footballer should be a prerequisite.
â@@zalemdreamsbeing a great footballer IS a prerequisite
Hes talking nonsense. If they players do what he says they'll be on the bench. Southgate doesn't want them to attack and do what they want. He wants them to be secure. So that's how they play.
@@Xivinux Being a great footballer is not necessarily conducive to giving the best football analysis. And again, Burley, McManaman and LeBoeuf were international players who played for big clubs in Europe. Macca scored for Real Madrid in a CL final. By your standard, their opinion matters more than any of us randos on youtube. So why are people complaining then?
@@zalemdreams Yes their comments are more valueable than rando's on youtube. Hollands football has always been decent because it's ran by football minds. In Amerika its run by a bunch of soccermoms and thats why it still is bad. Ex-players understand the game way better than anybody else. When it comes to MMA I also only listen to fighters who've fought and not some wannabe dudes who call them selves experts or gurus
When I consider Burleyâs punditry I think âIâm not expecting too muchâ
He's best out there in espn alongside ale Moreno. He speaks without sugarcoating
â@@nurulhasan6711he's a bigot
@@nurulhasan6711 lol you dont watch a lot of football analysis I take it, Burley sounds like the drunk in the bar shouting at the tv.
Asking Burley about England is like asking Hamas about the Isreal team.
Nederland o Nederland, jij bent de kampioen. Wij houden van Oranje, door je daden en je doen!
the final was already played.. yesterday between Spain and France..
Nah it was already played in quarter final between Spain and Germany.
You clowns all said Germany would beat Spain, here we are
Who wins tomo England or Netherlands Iâm thinking 1-0 England or 1-1
@moonhead6299
they should have won
I thought that too
@@ac14cmpunk25 ref taylor
I loved the part of the England vs Netherlands breakdown where Netherlands was mentioned for 30 secondsđ
England 0 Netherlands 2
@@alvinabraham97 Reason for just 30 seconds is simple. As you will realise when England send 80,000 Dutch back to the Netherlands in tears⊠of grief.
@@KaleemAkbar786 Weed may be legal in the Netherlands, but itâs a good idea to stop smoking it when giving football predictions. đ„ž
England to win. No problem.
â@really8930 yall always talk as if England is this huge threat đ. Mid team, lol.
â@@really8930 your arrogance will be your downfall, hope you don't hurt yourself after the embarrassment you will suffer tonight đ Netherlands for the win đ§Ą
For England's sake, I hope the Dutch go through so they don't get embarrassed by Spain.
Spain will spank ye.....
No guarantee they lose to Spain if they do beat the Dutch. At the end of the day football has a lot of luck France got to this point with 0 open play goals and own goals qualifying them⊠England have the players to beat Spain just as Spain can beat England⊠Southgate even said the players fitness on the team was not that great
â@@BinWeevilsLoverSpain are gonna be favourites against either but a one off game anything can happen. England are gonna have to be better than they have been so far to beat Holland & better again I think to beat Spain but there's a great performance in those players for sure.
no I'd like to go to the final of a tournament, thanks. I've been watching England all my life and only seen us in one final. If you want to not be in a final, go support Scotland.
ââ@@jimmynich4791
England have a chance against spain if they play defensive football like greece 2004 Portugal 2016
08:30 matters to both England & The Netherlands so it will be a 50-50 match imo :)
My favourite image of Klinsman EVER was when Fabio Grosso scored that wonderful goal after that spectacular set piece and pass by the magician, Andrea Pirlo... In Dortmund. good times..
The hate for Southgate from everyone is ridiculous. Most successful manager since the 60âs, and vastly more qualified and credentialed than ANYONE throwing shade at him. The players have to take responsibility for playing shite and not taking any risks.
This lot is clueless. I think they must be going after an Anti English audience. England are in a Semi Final. I can understand Craig being he's Scottish. But isn't the presenter English ? By the way he's going on we've already been Knocked out by Iceland again.
I'm not sure that it needs 5 pundits to tell us what we already know, Southgate not changing his team is a given
How football has fallen.....its so amazing to here people say it doesn't matter how they plain just go out there and win.....well Spain play very good and they still win....fans needs to enjoy the game and ultimately enjoy success.......well maybe for teams who haven't had lots of success wouldn't mind playing rubbish but winning .....but hey Spain all the way..they make football worth every watch.
Finally someone has said it, well said jurgen.. Southgate isnât great but these lads on the pitch do the talking, step up
Why is all coverage revolving around how England can win this? Practically nothing, good or bad, is said about the Netherlands. So disrespectful
For those who like statistics, last ten matches between England and Netherlands, England won 2 and Netherlands won 4 and 4 were a tie....
And England never won 2 penalty series back to back.....
In all of this, harry Kane the stat padder destroyed irrelevant teams & got annihilated by relevant teams as usual
I think what is often missed is that this is a tournament. It's about getting to the final. No one, and I mean no one, remembers how you got there. Anyone remember Greece lighting it up when they won? Exactly.
I remember vividly how both Portugal and Greece won a trophy playing rubbish anti-football, everyone remembers....
i'm pretty sure anybody that watched the 2004 euro cup remembers how greece won: defend all game and score a header from a cross.
The thing is Greece played to the best of their ability. Their defense and organization still made their games a good watch.
2016 Portugal Drew all three group games, made it out of the group with 3 points and somehow won every game after that playing like trash.
@@nikolajdehaan9815 Yeah we remember it because we were there seeing it live on TV in 2004 and 2016, because for us it happened just recently but for people who are born after 2010 who didnt get to see the tournaments, they wont care how it happened, just that they won the title.
They did improve in the last game
I have bet for over 30 back passes to Pickford.
Craig's line up is the one that will be on the field after England go 1-0 down in 60th minute
Even if they make it to final, England has ZERO chance against Spain
The World Cup has a third place play off. The Euros is going to have a second place play off tomorrow..
Correct.
I have seen games where a team got like 10 great chances, 70% possession, looking superior for the entire game and still lose or draw.
At the end of the day the art of defence is not to prevent chances, but to make the chances the other team gets as hard as possible and with a bit of luck you can always win.
so? we would still be the second best team in Europe? you?
@@Rob-cy8xcyou want that? đ
"England are holding all the cards here"......boy, the disrespect for the opponent will make seeing them lose a treat. If we dont take care of that Spain sure will.
Oi, tf is wrong with you? Craig Burley is a former SCOTTISH player; heâs not English and heâs not in the England squad so therefore heâs not speaking for the England team.
No need to make up BS reasons for wanting England to lose.
It is not the England team saying this my friend.
Yeah, the bias from the Scottish. Famously the biggest supporters of England đ
The English respect the Dutch
The Netherlands also has ambitions of reaching the final for the second time since 1988
Wish klinsmann was still the USAMNT coach.
England đ
Like the USMNT, Klinsmann is a joke.
Kane will start over Toney and Foden will start over Gordon
And people think we will win
They were in 3 semi finals before Southgate. 1966, 1990 and 1996.
Time for the final boys đđœ
Jurgen, you have my respect for what you said. Every footballer should listen to his speech on manager and on field players. Respect!
The only way England win is if the Dutch score in the first 15 mins and force England to go for it.
I hardly think that is correct.
England is lucky to be playing the Netherland.
@@kamilebrahimoff3589 Itâs true, we could have been playing France or Spain.
no , that is not correct.
Lucky???đđ â@@kamilebrahimoff3589
How is it that England always gets the easiest path to a final yet never prevails? It's clearly fixed but as much as the powers that be try to win one for england, they still fail! đ€Ł
UEFA been pushing England to win a trophy in the last 3 tournaments
How is scoring in the last minute luck but scoring in the 10th minute isn't?
Us English fans are so strange. The same guys who are saying we're totally rubbish, Southgate has no clue and Kane is finished are expecting England to get to the final đ. We know if they lose it will be the same stuff. First decent team we played, we went out.
Facts.
every team plays the best style of football that suits them. Spain plays more direct and England plays more conservative. the better team is defined by result of the match. if one team plays back passes in their back half pitch for 89 mins and wins it with only one attacking action, that is how they play and should be respected. in 1982 Brazil played very entertaining football and lost to the no guts Italians. But the trophy told the whole story. I agree with DeChamps says : watch something else if u feel it is boring.
No I do not respect that style of play at all.
No one cares to be honest they want a trophyâ@@nikolajdehaan9815
I feel Jurgen is kinda 2 smart for this show đ
If there is so much negativity around England team âŠ.. if they have so much bad in the tournament- how come are they favorites going against Netherlands đłđ±đ€·đ»đ€·đ»đ€·đ»đ€·đ»đ€·đ»
You can say what you want. Dutch not playing great like england but the dutch scored 9 goals so they are willing to attack and score. And not sit back and wait.
Im not defending England here as we are poor (by potential standards) at best but Craigs starting 11 is like every 14 year old in the country. Dropping mainoo is mental
No one really expected much when Craig was playing either to be honest đ
So true.. extremely average player
Average? The man has 100+ appearances for Chelsea. Youâve played so much fifa you forgot thatâs not even 1% of football players around the world to ever reach that level? Youâre daft mate.
I agree with Craig line up
If Netherland scores first 2 goals, then they will win for sure
As for indvidual stats , the English have it , as a team , the Netherlands have . Gonna be an interesting game .
Spain are in a different class, but this semi is still worth winning. You never know in a one-off final. Germany almost took them to a penalty shootout.
But Germany was the better team in that game if u look at statistics, more shots, higher ball possession, higher expected goals etc..Germany played in the same class as Spain.
Other teams are praised (especially by us) for winning ugly, coming from behind. The hatred of England reminds me how brilliant it is to be English.
Great point by Klinsman that the players have to step up and stop blaming the manager.
England was lucky to have an easy schedule, but Netherland is a tougher opponent. I am taking Netherland to win the game.
Looking at the teams that both England and the Netherlands have played so far and their results, it is irrational to come to the conclusion that England is favorite going onto this game, or that the Netherlands is not a major threat. âCZcamsâ is definitely more objective and rational their than these pundits ;)
(That said, the results of Southgate in the last 4 years are pretty amazing ;))
What were you saying?
As a neutral, how can the opening sentence say England are favorites ? Itâs 50/50 . Looking forward to it at 7 am in New Zealand
It is a reference to bookmakers odds, ie a statement of fact. Maybe English is your 2nd language, a lot of foreigners don't understand what favourites means. Doesn't mean they're more likely to win.
Walker done at this level
Kane needs to actually move better with Saka. He stands there like a statue, so easy to mark. He needs to be more dynamic
If Holland don't beat them I hope Spain do!
bitter old loser.England is the best team left in euro 24
It's gonna be an interesting game tonight with high intensity and counterattacks. I think it's going to be a 3-2 for either Netherlands or England!
wow i would LOVE to see that team play .
Dan, on the money with his prediction.
I've had spain since day one
England will win (if) he makes the right changes at the right timeâŠI want him to tell Kane that if he drops and thereâs no out ball then heâs off for Watkins or Toney. Kane just scoring wonât be enough, we need to pull and stretch their defence and offer problems rather than a moment. He has to put together everything heâs learned and not leave it until weâre behind or being out played.
You got it bang on
I am sure Netherlands will beat England. Netherlands has played much better than England so far. Based on how they played so far, both France and England deserve to go out of the tournnament. England have been worse than France so far. England with so many talented players has misfired so far. It will be a Spain vs Netherlands final. Soain may win the tournament. They have been the best team so far. Very impressive.
France hadn't scored a goal in open play until the semi Final. England have scored 5 goals.
â@@alexojideagu and sgainst who?
â@@nikolajdehaan9815Switzerland, the team everyone was saying would beat England
I love how you nags like to pretend neutrality when itâs obvious youâre rooting for anyone but England.
â@@alexojideaguyou won on penalties mate lol
Number 1 mistake by Southgate ...Kane as captain ...leadership on pitch gone (Croatia semi proves my point) ...we are just up against it before a ball is kicked cos sat deep ,injured and out of form starters ...the first half will stress us out but my mental state is to expect drab again so if they do manage to attack and game manage it will be a bonus .Koeman will know everything about our gameplan too
Well one big thing is how will England play when they play against a team that also takes the game to them. So less sitting back and counter.
France is gone
Tomorrow eng is going out
End of discussion
Even if eng go through to the final then still they have no chance of beating Spain
End of discussion and yet you continue. Your lack of punctuation mirrors your insight.
Gakpo will have absolute fun with Engl@nd that it'll be sad and ecstatic to watch at the same time
Netherlands have pace, but fortunately we have pretty quick center halves. Let's see but the counter to that is when committing to attack you then can be countered, so the real question is, will Netherlands give up possession to play a counter attacking game? I just feel England know the Netherland players too well and for me have a much better squad. If Garath can make some smart decisions, then it will be difficult for the Netherlands - they definately need a fast start.
Yeah like he did against France and Austria???
Don't wet yourself to much eh!
â @@jacob4690we had a goal against France, which was sadly and unjustly overruled. Austria was a off day + they only won because of our owngoal by malen.
@@leokotsen1548 lot of excuses there
Please donât let us score first unless itâs the 85th minute.
And once again weâve avoided all the bigger teams on the way to the semi final. Germany Portugal Italy Spain Belgium etc etc. thank goodness. It happens in every tournament we play in.
oh look, ESPN here to be negative again about a semi-finalist. Just bore off, the lot of you. Let us ENJOY THIS.
I agree
Where is Mike Bassett?
Hes with Benson and hedges
Technically Frank Italy started horrendous in 82 and then flipped the switch.
Me when Craig Burley speaks about England:đ€Šââđ€Šââ
His England lineup is actually pretty good. Much more balanced
Frank is right, there ain't going to be any changes. And to be fair, just ride the horse that got you there at this point. And hope your luck holds....
I love it
The EPL is propped up by the foreign players not the English ones... don't confuse the recent success of the EPL with English success.. no connection
Everyone only cares about winning in Europe. That's why people outside Europe are only watching Copa America. Play with guts and not afraid to express themselves. Nobody can say they didn't try even if they loses. Positive football does matter!
Key to win; pass run and pass again then run again!!
Good way to provoke all critics
Safegate will maintain the hand-brake handicap and will come to a screeching halt.
Burley was never that great. He played for scotland, which was the height of his career đ. Enough said. đ
We're going home lads.
The discussion around Copa America is so refreshing compared to this nonsense.
England is overrated. I can't wait till Netherlands knock them out, so we can start discussing the other teams in the Euros with less bias.
Facts.
What were you saying mate?
All this luck you perceive that Gareth has, you should ask him for the lottery numbers. Countless tournaments in semifinals and a final and the luck continues.
3-1 dutch 33/1 easy money
Thats why its 33/1 aye? đ
hhahahahahah dutch are getting battered
This is typical media
The Dutch will win because they play more as a team. England is individualistic with a sluggish Kane up top.
What was that mate?
@@bluesEvanskro Spain beat England. Harry Kane who ? đ€
SPAIN VS NETHERLANDS FINAL ON THE HORIZON.Truth is SPAIN IS ON THE FULL FORM OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL TIME AFTER 12 YEARS OF THE TiKi TaKa ERA.
I donât know who is going to win this match, but the way Spain is playing they will be a hard team to beat and very likely will win the Euro 2024
It's a real 50/50 game, I think. I can't see either beating Spain though, stranger things have happened, though.
Yeah I agree. Dutchy here but I don't see either England or the Netherlands win against Spain. But you never know
Why would we give a f for a Scots opinion on England đ
Klinsmann is đŻ spot on
Everybody: "never change a winning team"
Southgate winning...
Everybody: "FFS useless Southgate"
Im in dortmund today, and it's orange everywhere đ
One thing we can all agree on. ESPN is absolutely terrible. Another thing we can agree on .....Craig Burley could easily be the next SNP leader.
CZcams is in the business of getting to know all there is to know about everybody and everything. So if CZcams predicts a win for the Netherlands...CZcams knows, it knows...
Craig Burley slagging top players off when you look at his CV is hilarious đ
Look at you slagging him off while having no career at all.
iam slagging top players too. My CV is far worse :D
better than yours dufus.
Hes a pundit⊠thatâs what theyâre there for.. why donât you say that about all the reporters then?
113 Apps for Chelsea fc. 46 international caps for Scotland. Pundit and co-commentator for BBC radio, BT sports and ESPN? Not the mention the average wage of a Television pundit is about 150.000$ a year. Considering ESPNâs size, Craig is very likely to earn over 100k a year.
Tell me about your resume. đ€Ą
Hopefully Liverpool gakpo shows up tonight
i will not be surprised if England luckily stumbled to the final and win it and southgate will get an extension to his contract đ€Łđ€Ł
That's what I'm worried about. If gareth wins this tournament, we will NEVER get rid of him. Lol.
@@KTopics If we win the next World Cup as well we'll be stuck with him forever !
Why do you want to get rid of a winner? You guys are frigging stupid.
English/British should not be commenting.. so biased
That's why they are pundits, sit on that bench and try to change a winning side
Whatever happens tonight, two countries who love to play the game of footbal, two countries with supporters who like a beer or two, or more. Two countries who respect eachother as a footbal nation. Two countries that interact as friends in so many levels. May the best team win. It is up to 22 players and if they feel strong enough to go to the finals. Let's just hope footbal wins today.
If you are in the semi finals with such bad football, then a 5% increase in quality may be enough for winning the championship. Cmon England!
Because Craig Burley knows how to win tournaments... đ
They did play better last game not by much but they played better . They are where they are though ! So they have the chance to get to a final .
Still waiting for Scotland to reach a semi. Still waiting...
