ITV Player is reshowing the entire Euro 96 tournament. Anyone following it? I'm watching Holland v Scotland now.
Not quite as exciting as live football, but worth a watch just to appreciate how utterly shite ITV football was back then.

Working from home and with three little uns but because it’s all on the ITV Hub it’s easily accessible. Watched the opening game the other night though.
Brilliant to relive what I think is our best summer of sport.

Best moments from today's games.
- remembering a time when Chelsea's top scorer couldn't get in Scotland's starting eleven - Kevin Keegan pronouncing Youri Djorkaeff as "jerkoff"

Great tournament, although I'd forgotten that Spain had a perfectly good goal disallowed in the quarters. Thank God there was no VAR.

What is surprising, and goes against my memory of the tournament, is how many empty seats there are in the stadiums. The Bulgaria v Romania game being shown now didn't even attract 20,000 at St James's Park. More recently when the Olympics was here, almost every event sold out.
Strange how Bulgaria had a really good side for just two years basically. It made it all the more sad seeing themselves come across as such dinosaurs in the stands against England last year, coupled with the fact that they're now such a poor side.

I seem to remember him touching the ball and commentary went something along the line of: "The Germans seem to be taking control of the game now" "Kuntz" He was also used in the next three lions video www.football365.com/news/kuntz-lied-to-his-mum-about-baddiel-and-skinner-joke
