Euro 2000: England 1-0 Germany

England-Germany-2000-Michael-Owen-Cropped

Both had suffered disappointing opening results, with Germany only managing a draw with Romania, and England going down 3-2 to Portugal.The last contest between these two giants of European football in tournament football took place in the group stage of the Euro 2000.

The match wasn't a classic. England were under the cosh for most of the game, but Alan Shearer popped up to get on the end of a David Beckham free-kick 10 minutes after the restart. This solitary effort was enough to bag the points for the Three Lions.

The game was rightly hammered in the press. These two heavyweights had been reduced to, in the words of the Italian media, "two drunks brawling in a bar".
