The following is a list of the European
Championship
finals games played by England and broadcast live in the United Kingdom,
together with the only commentators given the honour of describing the
action as it happened, for the benefit of the viewers back home. England
also played the USSR in 1988, but the game was not televised live, because
the BBC decided to show the Republic of Ireland's group decider with the
Netherlands instead. This meant that England's game was only
shown in highlights form.

a Watchalong programme for the game against Denmark, with Conor
McNamara and three teenage cast
members of the Children's BBC football drama, Jamie Johnson. |
