Will there be overtime? England have a frustrating streak in Euro semi-finals

Today's semi-final will be the fourth in the history of the European Championships for the England national team, and in the previous three "three lions" set for themselves a rather unpleasant achievement.
The fact is that the "ancestors of football" in regulation time did not win any of the semifinal matches of the European Championships.
In 1968, the English lost to Yugoslavia 1-0 in regulation time, as they lost to Germany at their home tournament in 1996.
Then, however, the match ended in a 1-1 draw in regulation time, but the Germans won on penalties 5-6.
The last semi-final was at the last tournament in 2021, which also ended in a 1-1 draw in regulation time, but in overtime the English managed to win 2-1 and reach the final.
Recall that the final of Euro 2020, in which England lost to Italy in a penalty shootout, remains the best achievement of the 1966 World Champions at the European Championships.
