The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'A place in the semifinals is up for grabs as the Three Lions take on the Swiss in Düsseldorf.' This statement implies that because England and Switzerland are playing each other in a semifinal match, one of them is guaranteed to advance. However, this is not true as there are multiple factors that can influence the outcome of a soccer match and neither team's participation in the semifinals is guaranteed based on their current position in the tournament.
