England take on Switzerland and the Netherlands face Türkiye in two intriguing Uefa Euro 2024 quarterfinals.
England's Phil Foden, Switzerland's Ruben Vargas, Netherlands' Xavi Simons and Türkiye's Arda GülerThequarterfinals conclude on Saturday with two fascinating ties as England face Switzerland before the Netherlands take on Türkiye.England looked to be heading for a disappointingly early exit from the tournament in the round of 16 against Slovakia, until their dramatic comeback showed the value of having world-class, game-changing talent on the pitch.
Coach Gareth Southgate, though, was more focused on the squad than individuals, saying:"It's a really powerful moment for the team. It's one thing to win a game with all your star players, but for other players to get us over the line, to feel they're trusted, is massive for us." There is still a sense that we are yet to see the very best of the Three Lions at these finals.
"We know how good we are and we're focusing on ourselves." The 'Nati' have never progressed to the final four of a Euro or Fifa World Cup, but this exciting, energetic squad have the chance to make history by overcoming England.England are unbeaten in their last 13 games against Switzerland . The countries' last meeting at a Euro was in 2004, when an 18-year-old Wayne Rooney became the then-youngest scorer in Euro history in a 3-0 win.
They will hope for similar firepower in Berlin as they look to reach a first Euro semifinal in 20 years."I have no memories of 2004, but I do of 2008," Gakpo said."We're now here with our squad trying to create memories of our own."The Oranje come up against one of the tournament's great entertainers so far in Türkiye.
Their fans will no doubt be out in full force again in the German capital, and winger Arda Güler can't wait to get going."I'm very excited to play in Berlin in front of our supporters. The Netherlands, of course, are very difficult opponents. But we believe in ourselves and we want to go through to the next round."The Netherlands won the last meeting between these teams 6-1 in a 2022 World Cup qualifier, with Memphis Depay scoring a hat-trick.
