There is no puzzle, my friend. It's all down to the negative football by Eriksson where often the most forward pass was sideways. Even a Brazilian pundit said something like, _England need to let go of the reigns_ . I remember us playing against a 10-man Brazil yet watching the game it looked more like the other way round.

[@richieaboujaoude]

Beautiful Goal from Steven Girard

[@damionsunderpants498]

The best goal for me was the first from Owen. (Although Gerard's was not bad al all) The free-kick from Beckham (the best player that day), the way Gerrard turned and looped it out high dropping it in the middle right to Gary Neville who stood and placed a beautiful soft header into the centre. The header down from Barmby to Owen who finished it off with his typical hard, low and swerving shot. It was like it been studied. A piece of art..I could watch that goal again and again.

[@damionsunderpants498]

And to think that the next game was almost a disaster if England had not been given that late dubious free-kick in the 93rd minute. I don't know anyother European "top" team who is so inconsistent as England. At least you can rely on Scotland if you know what I mean.

Heskey was soo under rated, he did the bullying and the hard work and occupied defenders which allowed others around him to shine,

[@lukearmitage1533]

this game was the single worse thing to happen to us in our history it made us believe we're world class and we didn't have to do anything.mean while Germany dropped an entire team and changed there entire setup while we only have 28% English players in our top league Germany have the best players on the planet.

[@Sunthaz]

Peter Shaw Well it was mainly due to Low's horrible tactics.

[@KaitainCPS]

Or...maybe not.

[@TheForge10]

Germany took.those same players to WC 2002 and reached the final but it papered over the cracks. They were already overhauling the youth system anyway after Euro 2000. Seriously Jancker and Neuville worst combo ever to wear a german shirt.

[@remote128]

It’s coming home

[@subscribetospiroonewchanne6253]

Kane, alli, lingard, stones, maguire, pickford, sterling, loftus-cheek. I could go on and on with our youth players but you get the ideas. Why fix it if its not broken?

[@abdulmuizmahali1677]

Liverpool Legends: Gerrard, Owen & Heskey all on the score board Wow

[@NADAANAE]

Harry AYYYYY

[@shmookins]

I'm watching this now during the 2018 world cup. :D

[@UnknownPain]

Who’s here after they won!

[@ThomasCostigan]

20 years ago today. Time flies.

[@user-ft4jp1yq5f]

Hat Trick to Michael Owen, against Germany... Priceless... Dream Material

[@lancelot7507]

Good good game even big Heskey in on the action

[@mattjones7090]

Euro 2021 2-0, it’s coming home boys

[@euanelliott3613]

One of the greatest England performances ever. Beckham and Gerrard were fantastic, Scholes and Owen brilliant. Rio and Sol were immense. Eriksson's hair looked silly.

[@aprilskyline]

coming back here on 1 september 2021 to celebrate the winning 🎉

[@Horizon344]

Bizarre that this team was never able to repeat this against far lesser teams in tournaments.

[@EyeMixMusic]

Not as bizarre as you might think. Beckham and Gerrard were at their peak in this game - for the World Cup that followed, Beckham was playing injured, and Gerrard missed out entirely. This team was gutted of its best players when it mattered most.

[@oldtimes9866]

ITS COMING HOME

[@samuelgillard2196]

It didn't

[@justscum6664]

@@samuelgillard2196 we never said when!!

[@iandiandi]

That first England goal was like poetry in motion. Just perfection.

[@deanboardman2342]

Quality , class , 👏 👌

[@Petterito]

Get well soon Sven

[@needfoolthings]

Legendary! Rarely found footage of the match Heskey scored in.

[@samr8603]

Never forget that night. Everyone in the bar shouting "We want 6". Such a great time.

[@davidsheen7749]

Englands most memorable win , It was massive. Rudi Voller ( German manager )left stadium early because his father had a heart attack at half time

[@TheTiquino]

Michel Owen sempre fazendo gols.

[@luigi7511]

I'm only 14 and that England team looks incredible, how didn't we win anything

[@juanjoseph]

Football was better back then. Lots of teams had amazing squads, so every game from the knock-out stage was a match betwen giants. Nowadays you only watch real games until the final game

[@radityadaffa9280]

because Brazil with r3

[@wnd9434]

No brazil has R4

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

@The Guy yeah I remember dreading the England-Brazil matches cos they completely crushed us into the ground many times 😭

The other teams were even better.
