The 1996 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 96) was hosted by England. Alan Shearer, OBE (born 13 August 1970 is an English retired footballer who played as a Striker in the English Premier League for Jürgen Klinsmann (born July 30, 1964 in Göppingen) is a German football manager and former football player who played for several England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom.

England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland English football and popular culture has since referenced the competition fondly even though the team did not reach the final. The national impact of the competition can be measured by the fact that the song "Three Lions", which became the song the England fans sang when their team played was re-released for the 1998 World Cup containing lyrics referencing Euro 96, such as "Psycho (Stuart Pearce) screaming" replacing "Nobby (1966 team member Nobby Stiles) dancing". " Three Lions " is a song released in 1996 the official anthem of the England football team for that year's European Championships, held in England Stuart Pearce MBE (born 24 April 1962 in Hammersmith, London) is an English football manager and Norbert "Nobby" Peter Stiles MBE (born Collyhurst, Manchester, 18 May 1942 is an English former football Midfielder. The song thus upstaged the tournament's official theme, "We're In This Together" by Simply Red. Simply Red is an English pop band Their style draws influences from pop, rock, jazz, Lovers rock, and Blue-eyed soul
Fifteen teams had to go through a qualifying round to reach the final stage. England qualified automatically as hosts of the event. This was the first European Championship to introduce the current format of 16 countries competing in the final tournament. UEFA had made the decision to expand the tournament as in the late 1980s and early 1990s it was far easier for European nations to qualify for the World Cup than their own continental championship; 14 of the 24 teams at the 1982. The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international Association football The 1982 FIFA World Cup, the 12th staging of the World Cup was held in Spain from June 13 to July 11. 1986 and 1990 World Cups had been European, whereas the European Championship finals still involved only eight teams. The 1986 FIFA World Cup, the 13th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in Mexico from May 31 to June 29. The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international Association football Since the Taylor Report, England now boasted enough all-seater stadia of sufficient capacity to hold an expanded tournament.

The qualifying round was played throughout 1994 and 1995. There were eight qualifying groups of six teams each, with the exception of group 3, which only had five. The matches were played in a home-and-away basis.
The winner and the runner-up of each group qualified automatically, with the exception of the two worst runners-up. These two teams had to play an additional playoff between them (single match in neutral ground), to determine the 16th team to join all others in the final tournament. A playoff or final in Sports is a game or series of games played after the regular season is over with the goal of determining a league champion or a similar accolade This was between Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool which the Dutch won 2-0.

The Netherlands national football team is the national football team of the Netherlands and is controlled by the Royal Netherlands Football Association Anfield is an all-seater Association football Stadium in the district of Anfield, in Liverpool, England Liverpool ( is a City and Metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary
The first round group stage went mainly as most observers would have expected, with almost all the major teams qualifying for the quarter-finals. The only exceptions to this were the failures of Italy (from the "Group of Death" which also had Germany and the Czech Republic in it) and defending champions Denmark. The hosts England, after a draw against Switzerland, defeated arch rivals Scotland and then defeated the Netherlands 4-1 to qualify.
However, the knock-out stages were marked for their generally uninspiring play. Only 9 goals were scored in the 7 matches, with four of the games decided by penalty shoot-outs (three of them without goals). The semi-final between England and Germany ultimately ended in disappointment for the home side, as Germany beat England on penalties.
The final of the tournament was between Germany and the surprise of the tournament – the Czech Republic. In the end, it was a triumph for German striker Oliver Bierhoff, who scored Germany's equaliser in the 2nd half after Patrik Berger's penalty had given the Czechs the lead. Oliver Bierhoff (born May 1, 1968) is a retired German former football Striker, who scored the first Golden goal in the Patrik Berger (born November 10, 1973 in Prague) is a Czech footballer who currently plays for Sparta Prague. As the game went into extra time, it was Bierhoff who scored the Golden Goal (after a mistake from the Czech goalkeeper, and the first Golden Goal in the history of international football) to give Germany another major tournament success.
Although not all the games were sold out, the tournament had the highest aggregate attendance in championship history (1,276,000) and the highest average per game of 41,158 for the revised 16 team format with 31 games. Only Germany had had a higher average attendance in championship history with an average of 56,656 in 1988 but only staged 15 games in an 8 team championship.
