the best chance we had of the Euro was back in 96, if only we had beaten the Germans. The two best memorable moments of that tournment was Gazza's goal against the dutch (were he flicked it up and over the player) and Seamans save using his elbow.
They were both against Scotland. But the performance against Holland was better, it was like a dream when we went 4-0 up, and was almost worth letting a goal in to stop Scotland qualifying for the next round  |

Looking forward to a daily diet of great football. But not really that bothered about England this time around. the best chance we had of the Euro was back in 96, if only we had beaten the Germans. The two best memorable moments of that tournment was Gazza's goal against the dutch (were he flicked it up and over the player) and Seamans save using his elbow.
Wasn't that against Scotland? Maybe my memory is playing tricks with me. Edit: Late again. Sorry. |

How can anyone get Gascoigne's Scotland goal wrong? That's like saying, "Gordon Banks' great save against the Germans in '70".
For me, ripping the Dutch a new one was better than an expected victory over the Scots (although the Switzerland draw resulted in an uneasy feeling going in to the game).

To be fair I was only 11 in 96 |

Iu tried to watch some of that on the fancy dan train between Swindon and Chippenham today, alas it was 0-0 when I arrived at Chip. The game was great for two reasons 1. We tonked the Hollandishers 2. We conceeded a late-ish goal that meant Scotland got knocked out. Happy days. |

Only 11!! that makes it even worse. Surely you should be able to remember classic goals by the time you're 11. |

Can't wait for this, I love tournos. Whats not to like, two games a day, some great players on show and some tasty matches.
Prefer the Euros to World Cups aswell as they normally produce better matches (less weak teams) and thus group games are far better.
Got France to win it, much improved under Blanc.
