Knew exactly what was going to happen of course, yet I was feeling really tense throughout, as if I was watching it live and wasn't aware what was going to happen. Perhaps I've been denied football for too long!
That was the first World Cup I remember watching and having not watched my first Town match until 1987 when I was 9 it was the first time that I experienced firsthand the extreme emotions that football can induce. I was properly hooked after that! |  |

I think it is only natural. I certainly got goosebumps when we equalised....which is completely irrational given the known outcome. |  | | |

It was a pity we didn’t have VAR back then, the goal we had disallowed looked extremely tight. Nevertheless, it was a terrific game and one of small margins. Waddle’s strike against the post at the end of the first period of extra time could’ve rebounded straight into Lineker’s path, but alas. Gazza was immense even after he was booked and Des Walker formidable. Still made you proud to be English, Germany were the best at that point in time and we more than matched them during that semi final. | |

And that performance was a bit of an oddity as England had been pretty average in most of their games until then & had largely scraped through. |  |

They outplayed Holland in the group stage and the Cameroon game probably was one of the best of that tournament IMO. We certainly rode our luck at times, but I still look back on that World Cup with fond memories. | |

Interestingly, Lineker saying on Twitter he didn’t cry after the game but watching it back just now he burst into tears.
We would’ve won the final easily. |  |
