Two countries have confirmed themselves will compete in the final round of Euro 2024, after successfully destroying their respective opponents in the semi-finals. As I mentioned in the previous post, there are no surprises.
The 4 countries that enter the semi-finals are strong countries that are the seeded teams, the final round which will take place a few days away leaves Spain and England in the top match. If there are any surprises, there will be a new champion in this tournament.

In the first semi-final, Spain followed the rhythm of the French game even though they fell behind first through a goal scored by young player Randal Kolo Muani's header. Short operas performed by La Furia Roja troops were able to turn things around, and the mental mix of young and old players in Spain's possession changed the final result. The goal of a potential young player Lamine Yamal shocked the French, the beginning of the turning point of La Furia Roja.
In the second semi-final, the Netherlands met England, the match was colored by a bit of a controversial decision when viewed from the glasses of neutral supporters like me. There was nothing wrong with Harry Kane's penalty goal, but the process of the foul is still a matter of debate. In that situation I assess the situation of the two players at 50:50, Harry Kane's kick was tried to be blocked by Dumfries with a foot position that slightly touched the foot of Kane. Unfortunately for Dumfries, the position of the foot when blocking the kick is indicated to endanger the opponent.

Two countries that were surprised with quick goals from their respective opponents, were able to improve mentally until finally stepping into the Final round.
This match was the first final round that brought Spain versus England, for England, this final was the second final in a row. For Spain this is the fifth time they have advanced to the top Game, 3 produced the title and 1 failed when defeated by Germany.
If you have to give predictions like some of my previous posts, then I try to determine based on facts on paper.

Currently, no one doubts the mental and tactical quality of the Spanish team, coach Luis De la Fuente showed his quality in mixing the Spanish players very well. He can provide space for young players to adapt in big games as well as shaping the metal of his players so that Spain has so far become a strong candidate for the championship.
On the side of the English national team, Southgate managed to make a fairly precise substitution when dealing with the Netherlands. This makes Southgate's confidence increase, the public will see to what extent the best tactics will be applied by Southgate to deliver the first defeat for Spain.
Ultimately if England wants to get their first title at Euro 2024, then playing it out and the English players need to be able to master the situation without the ball well is the key to making Spain panic. Instead, Spain can still rely on short passes that will keep the English players hooked on their Kick and Rush base game.
It will be interesting to see the final, but my prediction is 55 : 45 for Spain.

What do you mean by England’s “kick and rush” game?
Hi... @the-gorilla
In Indonesia we call many styles in the game of football, commentators and football observers in Indonesia usually give several terms for the style of play in a team.
Total football, the Dutch style of play in the 70s that saw the merger between short and long passes, all players have their tasks.
Catenaccio, often associated with Italian tactics, often uses three defenders to keep the defense from the opponent's attack. Each player must be able to do man-to-man marking.
Gegenpressing which is often demonstrated by Klopp, this tactic presses the opponent's game up to their defensive zone.
Tiki taka, everyone must know this tactic. Where short passes become a style of play to keep the ball longer. Identical to the Spanish team.
Samba tactics, in Brazil's possession, combine football technique and art. Swing as well as dance are characteristic, but individual factors are dominant.
And one of them is Kick and Rush, a strategy to play directly or directly. His trademark is to give the ball flow from the back to the opponent's defense quickly, this is often seen in the English league, and therefore we call England often Kick and Rush tactics.

I wondered if that was th case… England can’t play like that because Harry Kane can’t move. I think that if Ollie Watkins plays, we’ll be more direct but with Kane, our style of play is very patient.
It’s fairly uncommon in the Premier League to see a team play like that these days. It’s something associated with the English game in the 80’s and early 90’s.
Yeah...the Premier League's style of play drastically changed as several coaches with different playing styles undermined Manchester United's dominance, call it Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and Jurgen Klopp.
The influence of the English style of play can not be separated from the three coaches I mentioned, in 2000 became the beginning of England no longer relied on the ball game that was directly sent to the heart of the opponent's defense.
Harry Kane is not under Pep Guardiola's tutelage, this is in stark contrast to the super-fast movements of Phil Foden and Kyle Walker. Harry Kane is indeed much more patient, actually being a good combination of Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane, and Phil Foden.
Facing Spain with a pattern of playing that relies on possession, tight Pressing is the solution, in my opinion.
By the way, What do you think? Is this the right time England champion?
We are sorry to say this, but we in Indonesia read the news that there are always fights off the pitch by English supporters, this is very unfortunate. But I must admit, the love of English supporters is as great as the supporters in my country, this also often happens Indonesia, even much worse. But it's still very sad that this can happen.
