England Off To Euro 2004

England are off to the Euro 2004 finals after a 0-0 draw in Turkey. It was always going be a tough game with no support from English fans but Sven's team rised to the occasion and silenced the Turks.
England played in a hostile atmosphere with no support from their own fans. They suffered from 1000s of fans booing thier National Anthem and had to suffer from a penalty miss, a disallowed goal and a scuffle in the tunnel at half time.

England were awarded a penalty after Steven Gerrard was tripped by Tugay and captain David Beckham placed the ball on the spot. 99% of the public would put their house on Beckham scoring (Or at least hitting the target!) but no - Beckham missed. It wasn't just a narrow miss either, it was straight over the bar!
