Good article

I couldn't believe it was happening at the time. Felt for certain Germany would win once their first goal went in

 

[Sunderland afc]

15 years. Sweet jesus.

That'll always be:

Germany 1 - 5 Liverpool in my mind.

One of those games that they claim...they can have it like.

This, I don't care that much about competitive England matches at the best of times (let alone meaningless friendly's) but for me it was beyond the pale to celebrate a result with all the goals coming from that trio of bellends.

This was better.

Also the same day Brian Moore died I believe. Great commentator. Him and David Coleman were part of my childhood. They had great knowledge of the game

Says a lot about England that we still have to celebrate two games 50 and 15 years ago.

Do like this song from Eurotrip though.

And Germany didn't turn up 15 years ago. Freak result, in a match that was of little consequence.

Gets on my wick....That and the 4-1 against the dutch (Who also didn't turn up).

The attitude & self-marketing of England, by it's FA and it's media/punditry (And a load of the far too overenthusiastic fans) on it's bygone days reminds me of some gabshoite or other (Usually kopite) who once did you a trifling favour (amongst a load of let-downs) but they never let you forget it.

I know, just because we get an anomalous result against a team who doesn't show up its a cause for celebration

completely forgetting EVERY major tournament we haven't shown up to, and every time we've been royally pumped by the same teams

they even released a VHS/DVD of the Germany game ffs
