Two injury-time goals cost them victory over the holders, France, then two spectacular wins, followed by a goal that allowed an extra time that would have seen England pass Portugal, and then another one of those.
horrendous penalty shootout defeat so yes that's that to me that was the one that got away but quietly confident I suppose is a good way of describing it this time around I'm not expecting England for one moment to necessarily go to the final but you know if they made the semi-finals I wouldn't be completely surprised and as everybody says if you get that far in a tournament who's to say they couldn't take that one next step
It's such a new look squad though isn't it?
I mean we said just now 11 players at their first major tournament and some of these players have got barely any competitive experience at all at international level but it doesn't stop them looking the part and that's the great thing.
England have got players that are in form that have come through a good season.
They're not being picked because they've always been in the side and maybe that's a
A criticism that could be levelled against previous England managers, but certainly not Roy Hodgson.
He has tried to pick his informed players, and that's why we've got Jamie Vardy in this team.
It's why we've got Dele Alli and Danny Rose and Kyle Walker and Eric Dier, Harry Kane.
You name them, they're all at their first tournament.
But do you know what?
Every single name we mention there, I think, can make an impact at Euro 2016.
Listen, I think they'll be really buoyant.
I know they lost their last game 3-0 against Sweden, who are also at Euro 2016 and aren't particularly fancied.
So on paper, that doesn't look great.
But you know what?
They come to their first tournament in, what, 58 years.
And they come with, as you say, a genuine world superstar.
They've had fantastic players before, Ryan Giggs, of course, that never got to a major tournament.
If Bale is up for this and really on song, then he will not carry but help steer Wales beyond the group.
