Drew in a dull game vs an average Swiss side, beat a mediocre scotland team but of course they do raise their game.We'd beaten Scotland, demolished the Dutch and beaten Spain on pens, though admittedly we had our share of luck that game.
We were a bit lucky though 1-0 up, they hit the post, then they miss a penalty and we go down the other end and score. Could easily have been different.
Holland, yes, we blew them away.
Spain, they should have beaten us to be honest, they fluffed their lines a couple of times
Germany, we were unlucky.
Our memory is usually focused on two key things, a great performance vs Netherlands, and Gazzas studs not being long enough vs the Germans. But that hides some of the deficencies of that tournament.
Great performance: Netherlands
Good performances: Scotland, Germany
Poor performances: Switzerland
Rank bad: Spain
