The Spanish outlet Relevo delivered a scathing assessment following England’s semi-final clash against the Netherlands, asserting that while England progressed, their performance was severely lacking.
Relevo wrote: “Despite England and the Netherlands engaging in a hard-fought battle in the semi-finals, no team in this European Championship has come close to or matched the level of Spain. We had anticipated that England and the Netherlands would deliver a thrilling semi-final, befitting the stature of the leagues they represent, but it proved to be a major letdown.”
“Judging from the current results, not a single player has produced a threatening display; there have been no standout threatening plays. They achieved their goal with minimal effort, and one suspects that the English are in no doubt that they will continue to repeat their fortunate evening, allowing them to win the final with a lackluster performance and lift the Henri Delaunay trophy.”
“England have reached the final, but they have not been playing proper football,” Relevo concluded.
