Gareth Southgate has slapped a ban on his England players following their perfect penalty shoot-out display against Switzerland last time out.

The FA are working hard to ensure the nation's penalty secrets, which have sparked drastic improvement from the spot at major tournaments, remain hidden.

Meanwhile, UEFA have done the Netherlands a huge favour ahead of Wednesday's clash with England at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund.

Luke Shaw showed his class after England's penalty shoot-out win against Switzerland by comforting the opponents rather than celebrating.

As every England star ran over to Trent Alexander-Arnold after his spot kick secured quarter-final victory, Shaw was the exception.

The Netherlands have received an early advantage ahead of Wednesday's Euro 2024 semi-final against England.

Dutch supporters will be able to turn Borussia Dortmund's famous 'yellow wall' orange after UEFA handed them half of the ticket allocation for the 25,000-capacity stand.

Meanwhile, England haven't received any of the tickets directly, so Gareth Southgate's side may be up against the daunting atmosphere that Dortmund's opponents have historically struggled against.

England have demanded that their players remain tight-lipped about the secrets of their recent penalty success.

The Three Lions have won three of their four penalty shoot-outs at major tournaments under Gareth Southgate.

And the England boss is desperate to keep his side's techniques and methods private after five perfect spot kicks against Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

Since Dan Ashworth's tenure at the FA, there has been a detailed review of winning penalty shoot-outs, including time taken and breathing techniques.

Southgate has banned his stars from discussing their secrets ahead of two more potentially tight games ahead.
