European Championship - Held in
England- 1996 Winners Germany
Sweet revenge for Germany. They beat their
old nemesis England (will they ever lay the 1966 bogey?) and also exacted
revenge for Czech Republic's
1976 win. Germany won their groups well
enough but seemed to be reaching their limitations. But the Germans never
give in, maximise their resources and find a way to win.
To give the Germans their due, England, France, and
the Czech Republic had their chance, but they came up short.
Top scorer (overall): Suker (Croatia) 15 goals.
Top scorer (final tournament): Shearer (England) 5 goals.
