It’s. 50/50 game and to be fair I think the Dutch showed a lot more football than England. How can anyone believe the Dutch are underdogs at this point?

[Ryan-pwrt]

"Underdogs" against the team who've played the worst football in the tournament and by some miracle have ended up in a semi final

[Bowdz]

There are no under dogs at this stage of the tournament, anyone at this point can go on and win

[miguelpacheco]

Nobody in holland sees us as UNDERDOGS..I dont know who tf says that but not a single news outlet, media of people think this here

[ztpzpcf]

😂England is the Underdog, not the Netherlands since 1988

For the sake of football, I'm supporting Netherlands and Spain in these semi finals. France England final will put the whole world to sleep.

Holland are not the underdogs in my mind, defensively they are good and are capable of scoring multiple goals in open play. Englands best chance is holding out for another penalty shoot out as I don't see them being a goal threat, Holland on the other hand if it clicks could bag a couple.

Anyone who thinks the Dutch are underdogs should change sports, football isn’t for them 🙄

[charlesapana]

You never really can predict whose wins this time around, England keep defying all odds because they always find a way to win

[bartobruintjes]

The Dutch have a much better team, and play better football than the English.

[cuttlefishpie]

Speaking as an Englishman and England fan, I think we have played dreadful football and are lucky to be in the semis. I cannot see us playing much better so we will only beat Holland with extreme luck. Hope I am wrong.

[SuperDaxos]

Lol, dont forget that the English had substantial difficulty in their past 2 games. Netherlands on the other hand, despite losing to Austria, are in form and scoring lots of goals

[Kriskrasnopol]

We are more happy to face England than Switzerland

[tonolijve]

The Dutch won 7 games and England 6 and 1 draw, so is nearly even in our shared playhistory

[DJWfromA]

As a Dutch: we love to be the underdog..😅
Have a great match guys, cheers! 🧡

[andrewdrost]

Netherlands Spain Final and will be a banger.

[jellebigge]

Netherlands has the biggest name in European tournament football. This is the first time England has on paper the better squad. I think it's 50/50

[pimjcb]

England never liked to play the Netherlands at tournaments. Same as Brasil hates to play against the Netherlands. It's one of those teams they have a hard time to play against.
England has a losing record against the Netherlands when it is competition bound games .

[michealadeleye]

England and France are the underdogs 😭

[vinces]

Netherlands has the best head to head record. England have only beaten the Oranje once in nine meetings since a 4-1 win at Euro 96. That's also their only win in major tournaments, alongside a goalless draw at Italia 90 and the Netherlands winning 3-1 at the 1988 Euros.
