Re: England: What is Three Lions' greatest performance since 1966?

V Cameroon. England odds on favourites,but as the game panned out it was drama all the way. That day our discipline stood firm, where as Cameroon started to loose theirs. I remember feeling drained after watching it. Its the best England match I've watched.

Eintracht Frankfurt for me. Saw them on the Turf as a 10 year-old. It was the first game that I had watched without my dad. I stood on the bee hole end, with the evening sun in my eyes. We got mullered, think it was 1-3. They have been my German team since then.
