Over in Britain, the BBC are missing out on the England game after covering their quarter final win over the Ukraine, on Saturday.
They have the first semi-final, with Gary Lineker, who had a playing stint with Barcelona, hosting the match between Spain and Roberto Mancini's Italy. Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand are set to join him while Guy Mowbray will be commentating.
Many of us in Ireland may be tempted, on Wednesday, to watch some of the semi-final coverage over on UTV/ITV. They got dibs on this last four clash and Mark Pougatch will once again front their coverage.
Like the BBC team, they will be at Wembley and they are rolling out all their big guns - Gary Neville, Graeme Souness, Ian Wright and, yes, Roy Keane.
Keane ripped into England on a couple of occasions, earlier in the tournament, but has been complimentary about Southgate's side since they got their act together over their last few outings. ITV are also set to include Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, who has impressed during the tournament with her tactical acumen.
