That was an enjoyable tournament though, remember reading before it Zidane was the player to watch for France and he may as well have not went.
Davor Sukers goal at Old Trafford was
Jaap Stam was there as an unused sub!

Very true. They were better than most tournaments, but it was really all about that Holland game. Otherwise, three draws and a win against shitty Scotland.
Came within a whisker of winning it etc etc. Didn't even make the the final.
I think the performances are clouded more because it was probably their best chance to win it, as opposed to actually playing that well.
It was enjoyable tournament though and a positive atmosphere. I'd be more interested in England if there was of that attitude surrounding them at major tournaments.
