They are now managed by Englishman Mark Parsons and have bounced back from a disappointing build-up to the tournament in which they lost 5-1 to the Lionesses.

France vs Netherlands France will face the Netherlands on Saturday in the fourth and last quarter-final of this year's UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 tournament. But both are up for the fight - and could provide a thrilling contest when they face off.

We did not see much of that in the group stage, but a clash with a team as good as the Netherlands will pose a test of France's character as much as their quality. The Netherlands had to settle for second spot in Group C after finishing behind Sweden on goal difference. Greg Lea is a freelance football journalist who's filled in wherever FourFourTwo needs him since 2014. Corinne Diacre's side were just seconds away from making it three wins out of three, only for Dagny Brynjarsdottir to equalise from the penalty spot in the 12th minute of second-half stoppage time. It was a stunning display from France, but one they were unable to match in their two subsequent group games.

The heavily favored French squad takes on the defending champions in the final quarterfinal match at the Euros on Saturday.

The Dutch won the last meeting, knocking off France in penalties in the 2009 quarterfinals. They will need to be at their ‘A’ game, however, if they want to beat France, with hopes of Stefanie Van der Gragt to stay hot after scoring twice in the group stage. After that win, they coasted for the remainder of the group stage, beating Belgium before drawing with Iceland while resting players, taking the top spot in Group D with relative ease, though they lost star striker Marie-Antoinette in the match against Belgium, and is expected to miss the rest of the tournament.

Malard stretched to control the ball, which was slightly behind her, and cracked a shot on the turn that was kneed off the line by Van der Gragt. Tremendous defending. That was a superb move, which started with Bilbault flipping a pass out to Perisset on the right. 41 min: Off the line again by Van der Gragt! Incredible stuff. I’ve given this some thought, and I suppose I would say Stefanie van der Gragt RON (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsteːfaːni vɑn dər ˈɣrɑxt]; born 16 August 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defender for AFC Ajax[2] and the Netherlands national team. The ball came at a difficult height but it was still the Netherlands’ best chance so far. She briefly wriggles away from Van der Gragt, who recovers well to block the shot. 58 min This is a much more even second half. I’ll get the duck out of here now.” The left-back Casparij has looked good going forward. The header might not have been going in, but Mbock Bathy was behind her waiting to score. Cascarino gets away from Casparij, who recovers well to concede a corner. That’s a really good save.

Cascarino is a fine player - everything she's done this match has been incisive, at pace and great to watch.

"This team steps up to the size of the occasion more than any team I've ever worked with. It is a cruel blow for a side that will need all the luck that comes their way tonight. But this France team have come into the tournament unknown, nobody spoke about them until the group stages. Rarely do you get to the knockout stages of a tournament without injuries hampering team selection and this clash is no different. That is until the ball comes in from the left and Karchaoui heads back towards her own goal forcing Peyraud-Magnin into a save. The pressure is incessant from France and you think it's only a matter of time before they get the goal their play has deserved so far. Great period of play for the French - if it continues like this then the Dutch will do well to go in at the break still level. Again the French combine well done the inside-right channel, before Diani fires in the low ball into the six yard box. Corner for the Netherlands and it's a good one. She attacks down the right and wins a free-kick thanks to a robust challenge from Groenen. Early in the second half, but the Dutch have started brightly. She wins a corner and from the resulting set piece Van der Gragt makes another brave block from a French header toward goal.

France and the Netherlands battle it out for the final remaining place in the Women's Euro 2022 semi-finals.

Whilst the quality of their team is still evident, the collective mentality will be tested as the competition continues. Vivianne Miedema has been out with Covid since the first game, while Lieke Martens was anonymous in the group stage before being ruled out for the rest of the tournament with injury. Their in-camp politics always seem to be on the edge of exploding, though, as internal tensions have been brewing for years.

Story so far: The Dutch were always likely to progress from this group, with Sweden tipped by many to take first place, so in that respect Parsons' side have lived up to expectations. I hope we can be there from the first minute and show what we can do." We need to pull out all the stops, and focus from first minute to the last. She is a world-class player with the ability to hold the ball as well as take out an entire team." France may never have gone further than the last eight in this tournament (a penalty shoot-out loss to the Netherlands at this stage in 2009 among their disappointments), but they have been in eye-catching form so far and will have sensed the holders' vulnerability. Corinne Diacre's side have yet to score a second-half goal at these finals, but as the Netherlands game approaches, this youthful France team bristles with talent.
