On July 11th, England defeated the Netherlands 2-1 in the European Championship semi-finals, advancing to the final to face Spain. British King Charles congratulated the England team but also made a request to the Three Lions, hoping for a more decisive victory and an end to the drama.
Charles first congratulated England on reaching the final of the European Championship. He then humorously expressed his hope that the Three Lions would be more successful in the final: “I hope that England can secure the victory early on, and avoid any last-minute wins or being forced into a penalty shootout. All the excitement and tension will make the hearts and blood pressure of British fans suffer.”
In this European Championship, England has had a bumpy ride, facing tough battles against Slovakia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands in the knockout rounds, narrowly advancing each time. Last-minute equalizers and winning goals, as well as penalty shootouts, have been the defining features of England’s European Championship knockout stage.
