Hughsie Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 1996 for me. The fact they were hosts. They were playing Germany. Lost on penalties. That Andreas Moller celebration after the winning penalty. Southgate's tears. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cille Mhernaig Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 As delicious as last night was the winner has to be 2004 where the boy Ricardo takes off his gloves and saves Vassell's penalty. He then runs out the box shooing the nominated penalty taker away, steps up and scores to send Engerlund home. The seethe after that was phenomenal. In fairness though the full list in the poll all bring back good memories of England crashing out tournaments they expected to romp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 1990 for me as I was down in England at the time of the semi final. It was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just me 2 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ronaldo scored the winning pk in 2006, 2004 was when Rui Costa put Portugal ahead on ET then lampard equalised. Beckham missed a penalty when he slipped on his arse and one Portuguese player chipped his penalty gloriously down the middle. That could have been when Carvalho scored the winning penalty I can't remember.think it was the keeper that scored the winner one year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 My first true recollection of England embarrassing themselves at this level. Still remember screaming at the telly when Beckham skied his penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the equivalent of beating someone at pool with the fat end of cue. Amazing scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Last night was utterly glorious, however the utter dicking they got from Germany in 2010 does it for me, for the following reasons: 1. John Terry shown up at world level as an utter shambles of a defender 2. England being horsed for almost the entire match 3. The seethe over Lampard's "goal" 4. Ozil and Muller absolutely shredding them on the counter. The only let down was Germany stopping at 4. They could have quite easily gone on to get 7 or 8.

Blue_e'hm_A_Dee Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 2010 for me too. It was Lawro's comments that topped it just as the second half began.

forever_blue Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Same.. My first memory of football was the opening match between us and Brazil. Can remember the living room being crowded that night as family and friends were round and carry outs and food on the go I was 4 and only interested in my newly purchased wee World Cup ball with the wee French chicken mascot on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite part of that was Mesut Ozil leaving Gareth Barry for dead, to the point where I genuinely thought Barry had pulled up with an injury. And to think the weeks leading up to the tournament they were fretting over Barry being fit in time as if he was irreplaceable. Fannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
