ITV showing the whole tournament in its entirety starting next Monday with the opener against the Swiss.

All England games on ITV4

Who’ll be watching? I’ll be reminiscing as it was probably the best summer I’ve had, 18 years old, fresh out of college and all that.

Something to kill the time anyway and a great England team.

Haven’t time to watch it did we win it utc

Dont tell me the ending...no spoilers please

I will be saving to dvd the England v Holland match. One of the most complete England performances.

I'll be watching - was there for the game v Switzerland, Spain and Germany then sold my pair of Final tickets to two Jormans who'd travelled over on spec on the morning of the game and, as the final part of the package, was er, privileged to see Croatia v Turkey at the City Ground. The noise from both sets of supporters was deafening.
Great times and England were a damned good side. As TT says, the performance against the Dutch was awesome.

Boy over here in Ireland they showed the 1990 World Cup Ireland v England game in full the other night , shocking football from both sides .

When is this starting on ITV?

Loved euro 96. Remember watching the Switzerland game at my Nannas (no longer with us) with my leg in pot listening to Oasis which I think had just got to number one. Was well excited and although the result ended up disappointing i still felt very optimistic about our chances (I always did mind).

Scotland game was brilliant. The penalty save followed by Gazzas 'That Goal' moment were incredible. Was sat at our house on the two seater sofa with two mates and my brother cramped on and we all went mad when it went in.

The holland game I was gutted I missed. I had just had my leg taken out of a pot and couldnt wait to play and pretend to be the players myself! I was only 11 and was dying for a kickabout. I had broken my ankle before the tournament (not long after breaking my leg) and just wanted to play. So ended up missing one of the most iconic games ever. But kept running into see the goals and then trying to recreate sheringhams.

Dont remember much about the spain game other than thinking we should have beaten them as spain cant be any good

Germany game was heartbreaking. Watched it with my dad and brother. And remember after it (we should have won that and would have won the competition if we did Im sure) just going to the back door with my dad absolutely gutted. Looking outside and talking about it. I was devestated.

The strange thing is since the 2000's ive been to lots of england games and never had the feeling or emotions i did for that, France 98, Japan and Korea 2002 and Portugal Euro 2004 despite only watching all them on TV.

From around 2006 onwards ive been a bit 'meh' about it all. Yet thats when i started to go to games. Perhaps thats what actually did for it. The atmosphere at Wembley, dickheads abroad and the general attitude of even the 'normal - AKA Elite' England fans.

Euro 96 though. Incredible memories.

Ended up on a youtube wormhole over the weekend, started by searching for and watching Ireland v Holland at Anfield (vividly remember watching this and wanted to revisit it, sorry) and ended up watching all of Irelands classic games of the 90s up to qualifying for 2002 in Japan. Dont ask why - I dont even know!

Certainly won’t be watching the Switzerland game, might record the others though.

We were lucky against Spain.
Being at the semi was a privilege, certainly the best game I've been to and, strangely enough, I wasn't too down at having lost it even such a **** fashion. Two good sides slugged it out to the end. Nothing between them.

Great Expectations was written off this wasn't it?

?

Upstairs in Smacks on a Sat night whilst the Euro's were on was mental. Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Oasis etc blaring out, cheap spirits and everyone hammered from being out on the p*ss all afternoon.

Happy days

Remember buying one of those England ticket packages with a random game thrown in - which was Denmark v Turkey at Hillsborough - great atmosphere.

The opener v Switzerland was complete chaos outside. All the Swiss fans were for some reason at the wrong end of the ground. The police were trying to tell them they had to move but no-one could speak German or French. In the end the senior officer found one of their fans who spoke English explained what needed to happen - gave him the megaphone and he sorted it out.

We were pretty poor in that game too. Rescued a draw with a questionable penalty.

As has been said the Holland game was one of the finest ever England performances - certainly in a tournament finals.

Spain game was very tight - they had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside in normal time though.

I went to two games, Spain v Bulgaria at Elland Road and the France v Czech Republic semi-final at Old Trafford.

It doesn't seem twenty four years ago.

I went to the Italy Germany group game at Old Trafford. Was an absolute stinker, nil nil draw which put the Italians out.

I'd watch the Scotland game and the Holland game again.

How Gazza didn't get on the end of that cross in the semi-final though
