I'd forgotten how poor England were. Bang average. The recent England team are way better.
 
I went to that game.
Recreated the battle of bannockburn in MacDonald’s.

Same day as the Manchester bomb if I remember June 15 I think.
Class goal by gazza.
 
I remember thinking Incy the guv'nor was a dog's dinner when I was eight and it doesn't dispel it there.

2 iffy challenges. Regularly behind play tackling back. Always on his arse. 2 funny attempts on goal.
1 nice interception.
 
so when did shearers hold up play improve?
Ball constantly bounces off him giving possession away,
not saying he was shite, before the skunks way in!

Watched both England games again so far and he has been really poor in both. He pulled right out of challenges especially against hendry.

and didn’t take a pen against the Germans
 
There was a lad in the far right corner, up from the corner flag, opposite side from the camera, wearing the safc avec yellow away top.

Wonder if it was anyone on here.
 
Still around 21 and hadn’t broke into the Man U side as yet. Beckhams wonder goal against Wimbledon was the first game of the 96/97 season
He had played most of the season, 95 was Hansen's legendary quote about not winning anything with kids, that was his first full season playing as a regular. I'm sure there was a lot calling for him to be in the squad but he didn't make it.
 
Redknapp was supposedly the key tactical change and to be fair his introduction coincided with England’s best spell but of course he got injured lol did he miss the rest of tournament?

Some other observations as for nostalgia reasons I watched the whole game! Anderton was shocking in first half and gave ball away loads of times, McManaman was an excellent player running with the ball beating players for fun.

Adams was MOM according to Moore and big Ron, not sure about that he gave the ball away cheaply lots of times, and it looked like a pen all day tho commentary said he played the ball! Unless my eyes are gone and Adams lack of protest, it was!
