The Guardian said that the "Trojan horse tactics" that the Greek team had received from both Spain and Portugal were completely ineffective in front of England, and the England team used three goals to tell the Greek team that in the face of absolute strength, any trick is a floating cloud!

"After eight years, the strongest Three Lions have reached the semi-finals of the European Championship, and the strongest Three Lions deserve their name!"

"Reading Power" congratulated the England team on reaching the semi-finals of the European Championship again after eight years, and praised the England team as the strongest Three Lions in history!

"Seventeen goals in four games, England has the strongest firepower in the history of the European Cup!"

The Telegraph said that England's terrifying performance of scoring 17 goals in four games marks that England has the most powerful attacking power in the history of the European Championship and will become the team with the most goals in a single match in the history of the European Cup!

Compared with the one-sided British media, the rest of the European media is a little more impartial, praising England while not forgetting to affirm the performance of the Greek team!

"The Three Lions advanced strongly, and the magical Greece was still glorious despite defeat!"

The German magazine Kicker has shifted its focus to competitions in other countries after its own country's teams have gone out early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this game, they think that England are still strong, and Greece have lost, but their magical performance in this tournament will always remain in the hearts of the fans!

Of course, they also did not forget to praise the German coach of the Greek team, Rehhagel. The article said that Rehhagel injected the German spirit into the Greek team, and said that in this European Cup, Greece behaved more German than Germany!

"'Greek Mythology' ends in the quarterfinals, and the Three Lions are on the verge of victory!"

"Young Chinese may become the strongest and best player in England's history, and they should play in the best league!"

At the same time, they also said that if the French team performs a little better in the group stage and can come out as the group leader, they can also pass the Greek team, and as the game progresses, they will gradually find their form and go further, and even the defending champions are not just thinking about it!

Algarve Stadium!

In the third quarter-final, the Netherlands vs. Sweden match begins!

This is the first meeting between the Netherlands and Sweden since 1983.

After this game, Dutch coach Advocaat has managed the national team to 54 games, surpassing Michels and setting a record for the Dutch team since World War II.

The Dutch team is still a very attacking four-three-three tactic!

Their offense was as sharp as ever!

It's just that they are obviously unlucky today, whether it is the king of the small penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy, or Peter Pan, or the heavy gunner Seedorf in the midfield, their shots are very threatening, but they always pass by the goal!

Although the Swedish team also has a luxurious attack group, it rarely has a chance to score under the offensive pressure of the Dutch team!

The score remained 0-0 until stoppage time.

In the 92nd minute, the Dutch team had a chance to complete the stunner!

Ruud van Nistelrooy in the box played the ball for Robben who was inserted behind, Peter Pan volleyed hard, and Swedish goalkeeper Isaksson pounced on the ball and hit the post behind him!

This made the Swedes break out in a cold sweat, and the Dutch were sorry!

In the end, the 90-minute regular game was a blank draw between the two sides, and the game went into overtime!

The first half of extra time was still the world of the Dutch, among them, in the twelfth minute of extra time, Ruud van Nistelrooy also scored a goal, but it was ruled invalid because of offside!

In the second half of extra time, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but the Swedish team, which had been silent for more than 100 minutes, suddenly became powerful!

Larsson, Ljungberg and Ibrahimovic, Sweden's three attackers, attacked Van der Sar's goal in quick succession!

Among them, in the 112th minute, Larsson's volley in the penalty area hit the crossbar!

Four minutes later, Ljungberg's volley from the line of the box hit the post again!

Two strikes in five minutes, perhaps the Swedes had already expected the victory girls to leave them!

At the end of 30 minutes of stoppage time, the score was still 0-0, and the game entered a brutal penalty shootout!

This is perhaps the last thing the Dutch want!

Because the Dutch team has been eliminated by penalty kicks in the last three world competitions, they failed to enter the World Cup finals in 02, in the 2000 European Championship on home soil, the Dutch team hated penalties because of the artifact performance of Santo Toldo, in the 98 Euro Cup, they lost in the penalty shootout to the hands of the artifact Taffarell, and in the 96 Euro Cup, they also lost to France on penalties in the quarterfinals based on the Ajax European Champions Cup winning lineup!

It can be said that in the penalty shootout, the Dutch team was full of bitter memories!

However, this time, they finally raised their eyebrows!

In the first five rounds, Sweden's Ibrahimovic and the Netherlands' Coku missed penalties one after another, and the other four all scored, and the two sides entered a single round of deciding!

In the sixth round, Van der Sar bravely saved Melberg's ball into the bottom left corner, and Peter Pan Robben did it in one fell swoop!

5 to 4!

The Dutch team finally broke the fate of penalty kicks and successfully reached the semi-finals!

Porto Dragons Stadium!

The last quarter-final was between the Czech Republic and Denmark!

The match also received a lot of attention from the English, and England coach Christian Eriksen even made a special trip to sit in the stands for this game.

Because the winner of this match will be England's opponent in the semi-finals. (There was a bug in the last chapter, and the lid has been modified!) In this game, the Czech team is clearly favored.

Because in the previous group stage, the Czech team defeated the Netherlands and Germany, and still completed the reversal three times, becoming the reversal king of this European Cup!

The team's attack is very strong, everyone does not think that the strength is mediocre, and the Danish team, which reached the quarterfinals with the tacit understanding with the Swedish team, can prevent the Czech Republic from entering the semi-finals!

Denmark's Olsen may also know that this game is difficult, so he directly discharged a four-three-three formation with great attacking power!

The Czech team's Brückner is all the main players, and the main players who were rested in the last game of the group stage are in excellent form in this game!

In the first half of the game, the tenacious Danish team was able to barely fight with the Czech team!

The two sides exchanged blanks and went into half-time, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Czechs were in excellent form, and they were just short of a goal that pierced the window paper!

Finally, five minutes into the second half, the Czech team scored this goal!

Czech high school striker, Kohler, the tallest player in this European Cup, opened the scoring for the Czech team with a header!

Interestingly, this was the first time that the Czech Republic had scored the first goal in this European Championship!

After the opening, the Czech team's attack became more and more courageous!

In the next fifteen minutes, another striker of the Czech team, Chen Xi's club teammate Barosz, scored twice, helping the Czech team seal a 3-0 victory while also increasing his goal tally to five goals in this tournament.

And, like Chen Xi, he has scored in all four games so far in this European Cup!

The battle for the goalscorer king in this European Cup has also become very fierce, Chen Xi ranks first with six goals, Rooney and Baroshe both have five goals, and Ruud van Nistelrooy also scored four goals to follow.

What's more, none of these four-player teams have been eliminated.

3-0 is also the final result!

The Czechs are on a four-game winning streak at the tournament alongside England, and with their final group stage win last year, their winning streak in the European Championship finals has now reached five, bringing them to the level of the Netherlands and France's winning streak at the European Championships.

After this defeat, the Danes also set a record, but this record is a bit embarrassing, that is, they became the team with the most total defeats in the history of the European Championship, and their losses reached 12!

The Czech team has also become the most eye-catching team in this competition, and it stands to reason that the Czech team is also a European powerhouse, but since Euro 96, they have not performed well in the major tournament for a long time, and they are not very optimistic about this European Championship and the German team and the Netherlands in the group of death.

However, so far, they have won four games, and their record can be on par with the top favorite England, even Czech fans probably did not expect such a situation!

…… After four quarter-finals matches, the semi-finals matchup is also out!

The hosts will face the Netherlands in the semi-finals, while England will take on the Czech Republic!

After that, there will be a two-day break for the European Championships, and three days later, two semi-finals will determine the two teams that will reach the final!
