Or where it all began #Euro88. Houghton 6 minute goal against England and then an onslaught for the next 80 odd minutes…

The Ireland Squad managed by Jack Charlton, that qualified for the 1988 European Championships in Germany, the first time Ireland ever qualified for a major tournament

Marco Van Basten fires 🇳🇱 #Netherlands into a 1-0 lead during #Oranje's 3-1 win against 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #England at the #Rheinstadion, #Düsseldorf in the 🇩🇪 #Euro88 🇩🇪 group stages the first goal of MVB's memorable hatrick.

For the #Dutch, glory awaited, for the #English, an early exit.

MVB grabs the #Dutch winner versus #WestGermany 🇩🇪 at #Volksparkstadion, #Hamburg in the #Euro88 semi-final.
With adverse symmetry, akin to the '74 #WorldCupFinal, it was a game of 2 penalties & a deciding goal scored by a master marksman, #Netherlands 🇳🇱 winning, this time, 2-1.

Most pleasing aspect of this #Lionesses game - apart from the performance- is seeing a running track around the pitch. And one that hasn't been cluttered with branding. As international football should be.

Very Olympiastadion #Euro88
