Euro 2024 updates with Netherlands given advantage as England stars ‘handed ban’

England’s players have been training ahead of Wednesday’s semi, with a lot on the line.

Might Jordan Pickford be called upon for more penalty heroics? Or might it all be done and dusted, one way or another, before 90 mnutes are up?

Wes Brown has been part of successful club sides, winning the Champions League with Manchester United.

On the latest episode of Euro Thrash, he has previewed England’s huge semi-final against the Netherlands as Gareth Southgate’s team aim high.

Felix Zwayer will officiate England’s semi-final against The Netherlands, having served a ban early in his career after accepting a £250 bribe from fellow referee Robert Hoyzer.

The ref has history with Jude Bellingham, who brought up his past during a Borussia Dortmund game, but Bellingham’s international team-mate Luke Shaw isn’t focusing on that.

“We have to respect UEFA on whoever they decide to pick as ref,” Shaw said.

“That won’t change anything for us, we just focus on the game at hand and not focus on the refs we are given.”
