coolest music for football intro, very much missed, it captures the essence of the game from a british perspective, enjoy it here across the atlantic in the usa!

[weatherallc05]

some great teams but ultimately the big matches were just poor and lacked flair. and as if they put world cup footage in of all the teams. euros are a different kettle of fish itv

[weatherallc05]

England-Germany was memorable as were Gazza and Suker's goals but the number of classic games and goals in 96 could be counted on the fingers of one hand, unlike classics like 84 or 88 or 2000 or 2008.

England-Spain, France-Holland, France-Czech, Holland-Scotland and Germany-Italy just a few examples of some really bad, boring and disappointing games.

@JMR83 The extra time in the England v Germany match was exciting, wasn't it? OK England lost the shootout but it was certainly miles better than what you usually get in extra time when the two sides often play for penalties. There were some fantastic goals, too; Davor Suker's chip over a back-pedaling Peter Schmeichel and Gascoigne's flick and volley against Scotland being just two of them.

@MrGann88

Some of the football was breathtaking? My, what games did you watch?

Yes, England v Holland was memorable and that 3-3 between Russia and Czechs too and erm, I am stuck. I really enjoyed the World Cup of 94 and most of the games there and expected some excitemement in England. How wrong I was. Lowest scoring tournament ever.

How did it help that England was the host? This was the time of all that fecking Cool Britannia shite as well.

[MrGann88]

I don't know how anyone can say Euro 96 was a dull tournament. Yes a lot of games went to extra time/penalties but it was still a fantastic tournament. It did help that England was the host nation and the atmospheres were never going to be flat but some of the football was breathtaking.
