The national squad of England has been photographed getting ready for their semi-final matchup against the Netherlands in Euro 2024.

Southgate is only the third manager of England to attain the historic milestone.

Even though they lost to Breel Embolo’s goal in the 75th minute, Gareth Southgate’s team showed a great deal of progress from their previous outings after implementing a new system in the quarterfinals.

Following tactical changes, which included Luke Shaw’s tournament debut, soon paid off as Bukayo Saka equalised shortly after with an incredible curled shot.

Just one day after overcoming Switzerland, England started getting ready for their match against the Netherlands on Wednesday.

Following a scoreless overtime period, Southgate’s Three Lions were able to remain composed during the penalty shootout, making all five of their attempts to guarantee their third appearance in a major event semifinal.

The team returned to practice on Sunday, keen to take advantage of the chance to move on to Sunday’s final as their matchup with the Netherlands drew near.

A video shot inside the England camp showed the players having fun on a bike ride close to their base camp at Blankenhain. When Adam Wharton asked him in jest what pace he was going, an off-camera voice reminded him that it was a recovery ride.

Conor Gallagher and Trent Alexander-Arnold were among the athletes spotted working out in the gym. They were seen doing weighted sit-ups and trap bar deadlifts, respectively.

A swim was the preferred method for several players to relax after the rigours of tournament football. Phil Foden and Eberechi Eze joined Jude Bellingham at the poolside to go over video on a tablet.

A Wilson ball replica from the film Cast Away was one of the things on display, and Foden showed off his ball handling prowess by juggling it up against a wall.

Gareth Southgate was given a gold cap by captain Harry Kane to mark his 100th game in command of the national side since 2016. It was a momentous occasion. With the win on Saturday, Southgate has now managed the Three Lions for a century and is getting closer to being the first manager to win a trophy for the team since 1966.

Bukayo Saka was among the athletes that unwinded in the pool while watching video.

The 53-year-old, who came after Sir Walter Winterbottom and Sir Alf Ramsey, is just the third manager in England to accomplish the milestone.
