[Football] Euro 96 - England v Netherlands

[Munkfish]

Anderton shouldnt be in this team, weakest player on the pitch.

Never realised how good Southgate was.

Keegan just recommended playing him as a holding midfielder which is exactly what he did when he became Manager (against Germany at Wembley).

In hindsight, I think it signalled the beginning of the end of my marriage. My then wife was Dutch, and we agreed to watch it separately, and promised not to crow about any result. I broke my promise

Weird that with all the ex England faces giving their two-penneth over all things football, punditry wise, you never hear from Terry Venables or Bryan Robson (unless i'm missing something)

Thats where he has been playing though. Sat infront of a front 3. Looks pretty good there.

Unfortunately, that was the only Wembley game I missed during the competition - as I was living up north at the time I had a ticket to Italy v Germany at Old Trafford the following evening.

I missed the game too - I found out the score from a newspaper at the Greyhound bus station in Phoenix, Arizona

The Edam buster has to be one of the best England games in the modern era

The third goal, by Shearer was marvellous, we just cut them wide open !

 

[Munkfish]

The atmosphere is incredible.

Never realised Swing low sweet chariot was sung at England football matches.

I know what you mean
My wife is French and since I've known her I've had to endure France winning 2 World Cups and the Euros,what have we won,sod all

Mind you I did revel in Portugal beating them in the final,that was very hard for the french to take

The other thing that stuck in my mind at the time, was the scotch mindset, if Engerlan won 4-0 the scotland would hav egone through the group stage in second place

alot of scotch "fans" interviewed on the TV asked " are you going to cheer on the ald enemey ? " nah, we want the english to lose

basically they hated the english MORE than they love thier own politiaclly determinened UK region


loved the fact that the dutch goal ment that is was over for the sweaties

And continued their proud record of NEVER having qualified from a group stage in a tournament.

Ever.

In their entire history.
