Sorry for those who can't remember it, but this was a great tournament for me as a 10 year old lad (arguably better than Euro 96 IMO), even though we didn't win it. Some great great players took part in that tournament.
Anyone else agree? What do you remember of it? I remember it was a scorching hot summer. Remember drawing with the Oirish, staging a slightly fortuitous comeback against Cameroon and crying when we lost to West Germany! Seem to remember the final being pretty good though.

France 98 wasn't great. Euro 96 was good fun, but getting to the World Cup semis just meant more to me. Was well pissed off that we didn't make to the WC 1994, but we were shite!

I can remember us being poor against the paddies, playing well v Holland (remember Gazza' cruyff turn) and scraping a 1-0 win against Egypt (OOOOO mark Wright scored) I seem to remember watching us lose on pens at my mates house, and walking home absolutely gutted!!  |

It was awful losing on penalties, I think in terms of games it was the first time football really broke my heart. I still believe we could have won it, but it wasn't to be

I think i was 6 or 7. I don't really remember it at the time that well but obviously seen a lot of it in replays and past programmes covering it. I think it was probably playing with my Teenage Mutant Turtles during the England Germany game......  Euro 92 was the first real tournament i followed properly. I remember the little frech guy Papin up front and Linekar getting booked for the first time ever....oh and us being completely shit after 2 0-0's and a Brolin stunner knocking us out! Who could forget the classic Denmark v Holland semi and of course....Jenson's stunner in the final |

I must confess to not giving a crap about World Cup 1994, I think it was probably a case of sulking! Forest got promoted in May 1994 so all was not lost I guess.
