For the 23rd time, England and the Netherlands will face-off in a senior men's international match - and there is more on the line than ever before.Both sides have produced great moments during the tournament, but have also flattered to deceive at times. It leaves us with a fascinating match-up, with individual duels across the pitch and in the coaching dugouts likely to prove decisive.
With 28 attempted clearances at the tournament so far - the fifth most of any player - Van Dijk is the man doing the Dutch dirty work, and the obstacle Kane must overcome if he is to inspire England to a second successive Euros final.Cody Gakpo is joint top scorer at Euro 2024, while Kyle Walker is one of five men to play every minute at the tournament
The man likely to be tasked by Gareth Southgate to handle Gakpo will be the England manager's most trusted defensive lieutenant - Kyle Walker. Following the nadir of an under-par performance against Denmark, where every pass seemed to be going astray, Rice has been the reliable midfield metronome in the knockouts.
The 25-year-old AC Milan midfielder has stepped into the void left by the injured Frenkie de Jong, playing nearly every minute and carrying Netherlands forward from midfield with the ball at his feet. The England forward beat Aebischer again and again in their quarter-final tie – four times in the first half alone, more than any player had beaten another in any Euro 2024 game to that point.
