Oh lord, I'm not sure I can take that disappointment all over again! G I'm not sure I can actually stomach the ball actually going through Gazza's foot again. He got there, it went through solid bone! |

Wasn't a great tournament to be fair. Not a particularly strong German team that won it and they struggled to beat a Czech team ravaged by suspensions. Was at a few games, the semi between France and Czech Republic was dreadful quality. I guess is remembered by England for the Netherlands game, they were real good that night but apart from that only beat the Scots, England often moan about bad luck but the Spain game the less said about the officials the better and Germany of course had a golden goal ruled out which should have stood for me. Semi v Germany was a decent game as was Germany v Croatia but if ever a tournament was there for England's taking then that was it. The Dutch as usual self destructed with their internal fighting and had a real good team and still scraped through but never performed at all.

In the context of the pre shit England got up to in Hong Kong Gazzas goal is one of the best ever

Oh lord, I'm not sure I can take that disappointment all over again! G I still to this day can't watch Southgate's penalty. That one kick broke my heart as a kid, and to this day I still haven't gotten over it. |

Apart from 1 game against Holland England were feckin awful. They were outplayed against the Swiss and Scotland for large parts of those games and it was only Uri Geller's help with the Scottish penalty that helped England from actually going on to lose that game as they were getting murdered.
You could even argue that England had gone 2-0 up against the run of play against the Dutch - and of course Holland were left exposed trying to chase the game.
The Spanish game was daylight robbery - England never touched the ball for 120 mins and managed to rag through on penalties.
And then went out to one of the most average and ageing German sides in recent history.
Dreadful tournament when you pick through the bones of it and one was that there for the taking for England as it transpired - and another semi-final where they bottled it.
The most memorable thing about it was the football's coming home song after that I don't want to see any replays of any of those England performances thanks

You may well he right Joe,but other than a bloodied Paul Ince with headband,and a post-match interview with Hoddle praising Ian Wright for "following instructions to the letter,ploughing a lone furrow up front and drawing a lot of fouls and free kicks" I can't remember a great deal about the game?! |

We knew what was required and did a steady assured measured job. Gascoigne showed rare restraint and Ince protected him. We gave away few free icks in the attacking third and in the last 10 minutes wasted time well. Hoddles finest hour. |

The most memorable thing about it was the football's coming home song after that I don't want to see any replays of any of those England performances thanks Pretty much as I said and can't argue with that. The Dutch had the players were at it again. The Spain game was on par with S Korea v Italy, diabolical decisions in it and again the golden goal that Germany had ruled out. Croatia for me sat back and should have beaten Germany and won the tournament. I agree was a very average and ageing German side, to think that a Czech team with 2/3 of its players suspended could have won it says it all. The Scots were the better team but justice done as never a pen but England got out of jail a bit. Because England got to the semi doesn't make it a great tournament |

One of the things I remember in the semi was quite how Gascoigne stayed on the pitch first half was a mystery. He was responsible for 3 shocking challenges yet didn't get booked until late in 90 mins, If I remember rightly, Platt did a shocker as well, a niggly game. Some real late German challenges as well. Moller ran the game after being booked and nothing wrong with their Golden Goal to be fair. I know England moan about decisions but they got plenty this tournament apart from the Scotland penalty.

Played 73 minutes, went off at 4-0 down, then Kluivert got one back shortly after. Couldn't believe it when we pulled off his signing. Made me feel a lot better after losing Kav to Cardiff. |

It'll give my youngest chance to watch the whole thing, he's quite the England fan now, gone from not being that interested pre 2018 wc to quite keen nowadays, I told him before the tournament everyone would jump on the bandwagon if England had a good run. Also I don't think I remember too much about the England games from that tournament, like a lot of people I'd imagine, I watched most England games with a load of mates that drank an awful lot  |

Made me feel a lot better after losing Kav to Cardiff. The Kluivert goal knocked out Scotland. Someone had a great banner at their game v Swiss that said 'Jimmy Hill is a poof'...made me chuckle for some reason. Villa Park if I remember rightly. I managed to get to about 6 games. |

Saw him play for Lazio twice. He was so far of the pace he got pulled once at half time and once after about an hour. |
