From one set of leagues to yet another, soccer is one game which runs throughout the football year. As big boys from various clubs, nations amongst others do battle, the neutrals and the fans are really the winners at the end of the day as great brilliant soccer games take place almost every week. Since the coming of European countries and their league, it is bound to get even more interesting. This league that was introduced is reaching its peak as various teams have successfully reached the penultimate part of the competition. Finals steps would surely be in the minds of the players when they take on their neighbors and rivals, Netherlands.

England

England has underachieved for most of their history. Branded as makers and founders of the beautiful game, England would understandably have a desire to always be at the very top of the game. With the prior tournament seeing England reach a semifinal, they would have their fingers crossed hoping that they would go further this time. They would put their hopes on their seemingly star-studded side to put on a good show. Sterling and Kane would be looked at as the leaders of this English pack. The truth remains that if both of them shows up, it is guaranteed that England would have a good game.

Netherlands

The Netherlands missed out on the biggest tournament in football last time around. That miss must have left them in a state of disbelief. It also seemed to have woken them up in quite scintillating fashion. Since then, they have played some of their best football. With the big-name players like Robben on the verge of retiring, the Netherlands would have a solid chance of finally rebuilding their nation to become the powerhouse which they are known to be.

Form

While both teams are looking hot and almost invulnerable at the moment, their form would prove otherwise. The Netherlands would have some cause for concern as they fumbled to a defeat in their last match against Germany. This was in their qualifying match and in Amsterdam. While this loss might have created some doubts in the minds of the players, the matches prior to that would cement their chances of putting up a strong defense against the English team. Except for the loss against the Germans, they have either won or drawn the last five games they have participated in. However, England has had a distinct showing.

It is often believed that this set of English team is on course to be the best team in their history. If we go by their recent form, then this could very well be the truth. Undefeated in their last six games, they are on a roll and would be ecstatic about their chances as they enter into another semifinal.

The semifinals are normally regarded as the finals before finals. Winning this game would throw them into the mix for the title and as we all know, anything can happen in the final.
