England expects or at least are keeping their fingers crossed when they take on Holland in the second semi-final of Euro 24 in Dortmund tonight.
Stuttering group games and a penalty shoot-out win against Switzerland has seen England reach the last four of the tournament. Tonight is undoubtedly their biggest challenge so far. They have talent and flair in their squad but so far they have failed to produce anything more than a plodding, tedious but rewarding progress to get this far.
With the country and their thousands of travelling fans crying out for a more adventurous approach, will manager Gareth Southgate be tempted to throw caution to the wind and give the players the freedom to get at the Dutch.
Slow and steady has got him and England this far, it is unlikely he will change anything now.
