Syrette Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It'll live on this page now too... The 5-1. Also Fat boy's equaliser against Portugal in extra time in Euro 04, was typical England the way we gave a goal away and thought that was it, but I went fucking mental when he popped up with that goal, shame we got done about 15 mins later on pens.

Guest Edd Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Even though I am welsh. I really enjoyed Linekers equaliser against Germany in Italia 90. Pity about the final outcome. For some reason Platt's goal in the final minute of extra time against Belgium has always stood out in my mind more as an individual moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 To be serious though, the 4-1 vs Holland at Euro 96. Fucking brilliant, and so was Barry Davies' commentary. SHEARER! Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 http://www.utils.ex.ac.uk/german/abinitio/images/score1-5.jpg That would be mine as well. Me and the wife were in Gran Canaria on holiday at the time, watching it in an english bar, just across for a dutch bar and a scottish bar. We got loads of stick beforehand from both sets of fans, saying we were gonna get beat, and then gloating when Germany scored first. The rest of the match is history, and it turned into a cracking night! But the fact we tw*tted germany, on their own turf, just made it all the sweeter!

Mowen Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The feeling when Shearer scored against the Germans in '96 was pretty special. If Gazza had got on the end of Shearer's cross later on, then god knows. I'd agree with that. I thought we were certainties to win the tournament when that goal went in. If only Sir Les had been brought on for ET, we'd have mullered them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The 5-1 I guess, I was too young to truly appreciate anything in '96. I loved my first England game as well, it was against Poland in a qualifier if I remember rightly. Was the game where Shearer scored from an indirect freekick. Sheringham placed it for him just outside the box and Shearer smashed in it over the keeper. i think thats the first england game i remember watching on tv.

Nobody Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Probably the 5-1 win. Beckhams free-kick against Greece deserves a mention too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nothing, won some games but never been good enough to win anything. Everyone gets hyped up and then let down, least this summer we wont have to live with the inevitability that we will loose on penalties again.

Meant to say (it's not too obvious) that was my first live England (as in I was there, at Wembley) game that I actually went to see as opposed to watching on the television. The first England game I saw of any form that I can remember was either '90 or '92 I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 England 6-0 Luxembourg in a Euro 2000 qualifier. Was the week after Robson was named Newcastle manager and he was guest of honour on the pitch, Dyer made his debut and was best player on the pitch by a mile, and Shearer, who at the time was getting stick left, right & centre from the press got a hat-trick. There's been better performances and wins of course, but just for the Newcastle feel to it, especially since we were 2nd bottom at the time without a hope in hell, it helped raise spirits.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Wasn't Dyer at right-back in that game? He was class. Think so...Michael Gray was left-back I think as well. (might be wrong there). Seem to remember Stuart Pearce playing as well, after having been released a few months earlier for being past it by Gullit.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Belgium in Italia 90 Germany 1-5 Holland 4-1. Seen some absolute horror-shows along the way too. I was only 6 at the time but I still remember loads from Italia 90! Enzo Scifo's famous red-boots. Seemed unique at the time having coloured boots other than black. Rene Higuita trying to skin Roger Milla only to be tackled, Valderrama's hair, Pavarotti, Costa Rica doing Scotland, Barnes' rap in World In Motion...jumpers for goalposts, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Lineker's goal v Ze Germans in Italia 90 was my first truly great football moment. I remember that June at first school only the really hard lads could be Lineker when playing football! I was generally David Platt! Great Newcastle days were pretty barren back then!
