As sad it sounds 2002 was hard to enjoy too much because of the kick off times.
Waking up early to watch England v Nigeria
Was horrific. Watching Eng-Brazil in the hall at school before first lesson. Destroyed it all.
My parents writing to the school that I had a dentist's appointment then coming to pick me up for it at lunchtime so I could watch England vs Tunisia in '98.
Watched that in our middle school French room as it was the only one that had a TV with an aerial, absolute chaos when Shearer nodded in.
We had to make do with a radio on in our Maths lesson. Everyone went mental celebrating when Shearer scored and the Head of Maths came through from next door to give everyone (and the teacher) a bollocking, only to have to rush back in shame as his own class were making even more noise while left unattended.
Anyway, back to the present day. I think Germany 1-0 or 3-1 in the final.
