Furthest any British team has got!! Ever!!

In the Euros! If we win today thats what it means!!!

Gets it in persective doesent it!

We have already got the furthest any British team has got to at the Euros regardless of result tonight.

In fact, no British side has ever won a game after the group stages at the Euros in history.*



*England drew 0-0 with Spain in Euro 96 in the last 16 and won on penalties.

They said on TV earlier that England got to the final ( 1960 I think they said ).

No, they must have got it wrong. In 1960 they didnt enter.

They got to the Semi Finals in 1968 - but in those days the semi finals came immediately after the group stages, only 4 teams went on and participated in the actual tournament finals. They lost to Yugoslavia 1-0.

Wales are the only British team in European Championship history to win a knock-out match, apart from that penalty victory in 96 in the last 16 for England.

I think there is a platform to build from, Bale & Ramsey have 3 more tournaments at the highest level so we just need a few youngsters to come through and improve us. I would love to have an 18 year old coming through like Portugal have with that Sanches fella

Oh dear!! Someones had a 'mare' here haven't they? 1996 - England lost on penalties in the SEMI-FINAL of Euro 96, a competition held in England.

So you are confirming that Wales are the only team to have won a knockout game at the euros without the need of a shootout then? In fact we did it twice! (1-0 v Northern Ireland and 3-1 v Belgium).

Yes England got to the semis but it was a shorter format then. The quarters were immediately after the group stage, which they won on pens after drawing 0-0. So we technically have actually got the furthest, as we got through 6 tournament games where as they got knocked out after 5.
