Yeah, it's back to '96 again. Blah, blah, blah. No apologies for that.
Quite simply, this is the best England performance I've seen in my lifetime (too young to have been around for '66).
Although the 5-1 in Germany runs it close, this was in a major tournament, this was under pressure, this was against a highly fancied Dutch team, and this was liquid football. The day when everything slipped into place, and we gave one of the most erudite footballing nations a real lesson.
And yes, I had a few beers while watching it. Wellllll...
