Netherlands vs. England prediction
(3 p.m. ET, FOX)
England was the favorite coming into the tournament, but some uneven performances have downgraded the prevailing sentiment surrounding the squad.
Is this a situation where the cream will rise to the top, though?
England is undoubtedly more talented than the Dutch, but there’s questions about England’s ability to hold the ball and control the pace.
The Netherlands played France to a 0-0 draw and lost to Austria in group play but have had a comfy route to the semifinal this year.
They soundly defeated Romania and Turkey to get here.
The team they face Wednesday is a different animal.
England and manager Gareth Southgate have been a bit too comfortable playing on thin margins in this tournament, but this is a match for which they could easily be -200 favorites.

Given those thin margins, namely the genuinely frightening match against Switzerland, it’s difficult to say they will win in regulation.
But thanks to some late heroics, it’s a fair assessment to expect the English to prevail Wednesday and get through to the championship in what will be a scintillating match against La Roja.
PICK: England to advance (-138, Bet365)
