This group game was on BBC this afternoon and just watched it now on iplayer.
If you want to enjoy a game of football watch this.

2 teams with only one thought which was to play open attacking football for the entire match.
None of this tapping around the back 4 waiting for people to fall asleep, no, lets get the ball up the pitch quickly and attack.
End to end stuff which was a pleasure to watch.
If you can't remember the result, don't google it first, just savour the football (y)
 
I was lucky enough to be present at that game in Aveiro. One of the great Euro tournaments (spoilt by a truly terrible final). Arjen Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Edgar Davids against Petr Cech, Pavel Nedved and Tomas Rosicky. Wilfied Bouma scoring early doors set up an open fast flowing hgame that ai think Alan Hansen desribe as the neat game he had ever seen.
