There's something nice about my first memory of England in a tournament being Euro 96
Not haunted by the ghosts of Brolin & Dahlin then? #euro92

Or Houghton and Van Basten?

Watching England in Tottenham has helped change my mind about them.
It's hard to keep up the grumbles about racist, arrogant fans when you're with such a mixed group of normal people.
I was also impressed with the Colombian fans in Seven Sisters last night. After the game, most of them that I saw were still in good spirits, lots of shrugging and rueful smiles rather than bitterness.
There's something nice about my first memory of England in a tournament being Euro 96 and Pearce and Southgate's penalties, and now 22 years on it's come back around in a way.
