England
the national team
Known for their star-studded squad and often regarded as favorites to win the tournament, the team has failed to live up to expectations in international matches even with stars such as David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, or the "German Duo" at the 2010 World Cup, not to mention an embarrassing record in the UEFA Europa League - - Failed to qualify for the intra-conference tournament in 2008, and have never reached the final in their history. In 2008, they failed to qualify for the intra-conference tournament and have never reached the final in the history of the team.
However, England at the 2018 World Cup showed a solid defense to make it all the way to the quarterfinals. Head coach Gareth Southgate valued winning more than the beauty of the field. England continued this tactic at this year's UEFA Europa League, conceding zero goals in four matches, making them a unique presence among the 24 teams. Despite scoring only four goals, England won two matches 1-0 and one 2-0. Except for the match against Croatia, England's shots on goal in the other three matches were not as many as their opponents, which shows that their game style is based on solid defense.

Ukraine has achieved its best result in team history at this year's EHF EURO, and despite a relatively low profile in international competitions, its last eight finish at the 2006 World Cup has proven its strength. The team's coach, Shevchenko, was a mainstay that year.
Ukraine came close in the group stage, eventually advancing on goal difference. They showed their overall attacking ability in the first two group games, but struggled against Austria in the third round, but found their form again against Sweden. Ukraine may be able to surprise against England in this match.

Ukraine used a 4-3-3 formation in the group stage, but switched to a 3-5-2 against Sweden in the knockout stage opener, with the wingbacks effective. Zinchenko is expected to continue to start, and the two strikers Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk are in excellent form and are expected to threaten the England defense. If Yarmolenko misses out due to injury, Dovic is expected to start in his place.
England and Ukraine have met seven times, with England dominating with four wins, two draws and one loss, with the only defeat occurring in the 2009 World Cup qualification match, when they lost 0-1.
