England made it through to the semi-finals on penalties

England haven't been playing at their best so far in the tournament, but despite this they have managed to pull through.

They finished top of Group C in the group stages before beating Slovakia and Switzerland to make it to the quarter-finals.

Jude Bellingham has been a key player for the team.

The young midfielder performed a breath taking bicycle kick in the last minute against Slovakia to help England through to the quarter-finals.

Manager Gareth Southgate is hoping that this tournament will be his fourth-time lucky, after he has reached the quarters, semis, and final in each tournament during his time in charge but is yet to bring home a trophy.

Since breaking his nose in the opening game of the tournament Kylian Mbapp茅 has been wearing a protective face mask

France came through the group stage as runners up in Group D, the first time since Euro 2012 that they haven't won their group.

They then played Belgium and Portugal to make it into the semi-finals.

Their quarter-final match ended in penalties with France scoring five out of five to defeat Portugal.

25-year-old Kylian Mbapp茅 captains the French team and is arguably one of the best players in the world. He is known for his speed, dribbling and finishing.

In the first outing of the tournament, Mbapp茅 broke his nose and has since been playing wearing a protective face mask.

The Netherlands take on England on Wednesday

The Netherlands have secured a place in a Euro semi-final for the first time since 2004.

They just got through the group stage after some mixed results left them third behind Austria and France.

However, they then showed skill as they breezed past Romania 3-0 and came from behind to beat Turkey.

Out of the nine goals in their five games, three have been from Cody Gakpo.

He is the tournament's joint-leading scorer along with Germany's Jamal Musiala, Ivan Schranz of Slovakia and Georgia's Georges Mikautadze.

Spain beat Germany in the quarter-finals

Spain will be looking for a fourth Euros title, having last won back in 2012.

They have lit up the tournament so far being the only team to win all five of their games and joint-top in number of goals.

Winger Lamine Yamal also made history as the youngest ever player to appear at the Euros when he played for the side against Croatia.

However their key player is midfielder Rodri, who plays for Manchester City, who is considered one of the best in his position.

But who will make it to the final?

All the teams have everything to play for as they enter the last stages of the tournament.
