When the top four of European soccer face off against the Netherlands and England, both sides will need to go all out to make it to the final. The tactical duel between the coaches will undoubtedly be the key to winning the match. Will Szczewki be able to come back from adversity, or will Ronald Gowan be able to fight back from a disadvantageous position? The atmosphere will certainly make the battle even more intense.
Holland turned back Turkey 2-1 in the last eight. Although they were 0-1 down at half-time, Ronald Gauvin's decisive substitution of Weghergs, a goal by Dwijk and an opponent's urn goal eventually helped the team to turn back the clock. The goalkeeper Warburgen made a number of good saves, which made the Dutch fans sweat a lot. In this game, Ronald Koven is expected to rely on Gap's breakthrough on the left to create threats to the English defense, and the powerful Dutch offense is expected to blossom again.
England drew 1-1 with Switzerland in the last eight and advanced on penalties by 12 yards. Just before the end, Bukajorska stepped up with a long-range shot to equalize for England and scored all of the penalty kicks. Despite England's lack of dominance, Shoevski believes that success in advancing was the key, with the mental strength of the English players, who were regular scorers in the penalty shootout, taking turns. Facing a similarly strong opponent in the Netherlands, Haufki is not afraid to make a move and is expected to even the playing field in regular time. If it goes to a penalty shootout, the British army is expected to have the upper hand.
