How England Beat The Netherlands To Reach The Euro 2024 Final

England reached a second successive Euros final - or a third including the women's team - by beating the Netherlands 2-1 in their UEFA Euro 2024 semi final in Dortmund, courtesy of a 90th minute winner by substitute Ollie Watkins.

In this matchday vlog, HITC Sevens follows the Three Lions on yet another emotional rollercoaster, gets covered in beer, and picks up a pastry on the way home.

His Hull accent comes out more in real life and his old man's is a lot stronger.

As both F1 fan and England supporter hearing Wilhelmus for the millionth time gave me weekend PTSD

[jackstyles]

Utterly obsessed with the depressed Dutch man behind Alfie

Mate I'm Irish, but seeing you there with your dad is heartwarming to anyone. Enjoy the final, Messrs Potts-Harmer!

Might be one of the best seats in world football, what a view

[brobertswray]

Buddy in slow mo for the grey leggings! We see you Alfie 😏

14:00 why boo another nations national anthem like that? Honestly, if many England fans wants to know why so many other nations hates them, this is litterally the reason.

As a Dutchie, I was so devastated by the end result. Some weird decisions by the ref. But we would have lost anyway, since we played like we were afraid. Well done England, the final is going to be a tough one. The Spanish are playing really good this tournament.

If it was 2-1 to the Netherlands, with the penalty decision flipped, all of these comments would be "cry more engerland", so, unlucky!

[oilslick]

Sure, the soft penalty sucked, but it was the bad tactical setup and execution that cost us the game. I am more pissed at Koeman and some of our 'star players' that didn't deliver than at the ref. On the other hand, to reach the semi's with a mediocre team in transition isn't bad, and we weren't going to beat Spain anyway.

Point of correction. The Dortmund stadium is not the fourth largest football stadium in the world behind the Camp Nou, Wembley and Santiago Bernabeu. It is also smaller than the FNB Stadium(Soccer city) in Johannesburg South Africa, which can take 94, 736 people. Even in just Europe it trails behind Stade de France as well.

Man was exactly right about Cristiano😂

Roughly 9, 000 viewers so far. If we all contributed £0.33, we could get Alfie a box at the final!

In all seriousness, I think you have built up enough good will with your viewers Alfie that you probably could crowdfund the guts of £3, 000 if you really wanted to! I think we would all be happy to see a proper fan like you get to go!

15:45, Steward wearing a White Sox hat, lol, so random for an American to see

[dbent]

26:09 Did you lose a bet or something? Last min semi final winning goal and your face reads like your Maccies orders finally come up on the collection board

[MattijnPlayz]

Bad tactics by Koeman, a bad referee and better individual performances by England players is what cost us (Dutchie here) the game. Losing always sucks, but losing this way against this England was extra rough. Anyway we didn't really deserve it anyway, we haven't been good in this tournament. Good luck in the final England, you will need it against Spain.

[Lucca_not_Lucas]

Hi Alfie, very random, but when the euros are over, are you able to do a video on my club Fluminense FC? We are currently in a very bad spot after winning the libertadores and recopa and think it would be an interesting analysis

[seymourskinner]

That one Dutch guy holding up his middle fingers during the England national anthem 😂👍🏻

[ironpage]

Koeman should have brought in Frimpong for this game. Tripper would have died in the first half if he was up against him.

[blakemiller]

Happy for you guys, as an American the word that comes to mind when I watch England in the Euro's is resilience, a very American thing to get down early and wait for the come back
