FINAL EURO 2000

This was so impressive from the Germans. Their takers were under incredible pressure with each kick, with England planting the first five and the Wembley crowd against them. They were as cool as cucumbers.

[@sakusia]

Those penalty shots were unbelievable. You don't see players taking shots like that anymore.

"If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don´t invite the Germans". (Alan Shearer on losing penalty shoot out).

[@jayxtacee5695]

I became a fan of Germany after this match. I remember the English media was arrogant and bringing up the war as always and pretty much declared England champions before the match. Seeing Germany win was priceless and I've been a fan ever since

[@light106year6]

Andy Moller s penalty and celebration was felt all over the world, football came home for Germany

[@NoName-jq7tj]

This was an heroic performance by the German national team. One of their greatest.

[@Lieaul]

This was a heroic match by us. No other team would have been able to beat the 3Lions in this tournament. In the first minutes I thought they will destroy us. Fantastic atmosphere in Wembley.

[@Scott1433]

Apart from the Southgate penalty the standard of penalty taking was top draw. The keepers had no chance with any of them

[@rayrichards5375]

Thanks from Scotland for posting this. Always a good laugh watching the 2 Germany v England penalty shoot outs and the Italy v England penalties too 👍

[@pabluresmg6203]

Incredible squads. Just one of the best matches I ever seen.

[@grahamnumber7123]

Living and working in Germany, it's easy to see why they are one of the top teams in the world. So many more youngsters playing the game then in the uk means a large talent pool. Most of the Premiere league are foreign players. That *96 game was a classic. I don't think England will come so close again as then. Deutschland - 4 times world cup winners! Respect.

football's came home, but the trophy came to germany

[@peterare]

Best penalty shootout ever, all were impressive shots!

[@grossmeister1181]

Kuntz scores the 5th penalty, with a huge pressure on him, as he MUST score - commentator just says "Yes! I was sure about this" :D

[@rodolfocatt]

It's a English tradition to lose to Germany on penalties.

[@samallardyce2522]

in 2046 Saka will be appointed as the new England manager

[@alexandervonkarnstein]

Damals wie heute versagte Southgate im Elfmeterschießen.

Ich bin Gascoigne, haha!

[@richardbest3575]

I was 14 at the time this was the only game of football that ever made me cry lol. But I remember the whole nation was buzzing about euro 96, this semi final was one of the best games I have ever seen. Golden goal for extra time and both teams going for it. Gazza so close to winning it. Sadly no such characters in football these days

[@forder89]

Out of 12 penalties 9 were absolutely perfect and unsavable, 2 of them were decent but not the best (Pearce & Reuter) but they still beat the keeper - and then there’s southgates effort, 1 of the most pathetic & feeble penalties ever taken in 1 of the most important matches ever for the English
