England secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Netherlands in the European Championship semi-final, with Ollie Watkins scoring the decisive goal in injury time. Watkins had boldly predicted the play that led to his goal while on the sidelines, and his connection with Cole Palmer proved to be historic for England. Manager Gareth Southgate praised the resilience and character of his team, who have now reached at least the quarterfinals in the past four major tournaments, a remarkable achievement. Despite facing criticism for their performances, England now have the opportunity to win their first major men's trophy since the 1966 World Cup in the final against Spain. Southgate highlighted the team's improved composure in knockout matches and acknowledged the challenge posed by the in-form Spanish side. With Spain favored to win, the stage is set for an electrifying finale in Berlin.
