Just reminds me what a good team we had. Genuine creativity and flair in the middle and flanks, solid at the back and a goals upfront.

I still think France 98 was a missed opportunity for that team.

I'd say that Argentina knock out game was our best wc performance since 66.

Do you think? I would say the best players in that 96 squad were coming to the end of their career. The players that were added to it be the time Ericsson took over were much better (with the exception of Gazza). The "golden generation" should have done a lot better.

The golden generation, were overrated. I followed England home and away from 2004 to 2010 and it was mostly massive disappointment.

We had good players, but so did everyone else. That mid to late 90s team had some great quality all peaking at the right time

I always felt that club football had become such a priority for most of them, that when it came to playing for England they were burnt out. Fergie hated releasing the Man United players, rivalry between club sides too. It coincided with big money coming into the Premier league. Then there's the over hyped press. I certainly think the potential was there, just other things away from international football become more important. You must've had some class times though?
