Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The opening match of the tournament at Wembley: what was the result of England v Switzerland?

Answer: 1-1 draw

On 8 June 1996 Alan Shearer scored in the 23rd minute, ending his goal drought. But 8 minutes from time the ball hit Stuart Pearce on the arm and the referee gave a harsh penalty. Turkyilmaz scored from the spot.

2. What was the result of England v Scotland?

Answer: 2-0 to England

Shearer, again, scored to make it 1-0 to England. Tony Adams then conceded a penalty. But David Seaman heroically made up for his fellow Gunner with a fantastic save. Then Paul Gascoigne scored a classic: he picked the ball up, flicked it over Colin Hendry, sprinted past him and nestled it in Andy Goram's goal.

3. The last match in Group A: what was the result of England v Holland?

Answer: 4-1 to England

A goal from Ince, another by Sheringham and 2 from Shearer made it 4-0 and England were through to the quarter-finals, as the winner of Group A. But Holland got a consolation goal to keep them in the competition, coming 2nd in Group A on goals scored (3 goals) from Scotland (1 goal scored).

4. England progressed to the quarter-finals: what was the score of England v Spain?

Answer: 0-0 England win on penalties

Spain scored in the 33rd minute but it was ruled out for offside. So it came to penalties. Spain missed 2 thanks to David Seaman but England were spot on. Staurt Pearce scored one to overcome the ghost of the Italia 90 miss.

5. England reached the semi-finals: what was the score of England v Germany?

Answer: 1-1 Germany win on penalties

After 3 minutes England took the lead and Wembley erupted as did many sitting rooms around the country. But 14 minutes later Germany had equilized. It went to extra time and if there was goal it would be all over. Darren Anderton hit the post, Gazza was so close to sliding Shearer's cross and Germany had a goal disallowed.

Then unlucky Gareth Southgate missed his penalty and England went out, eliminated from the tournament.
