15 years old, stuck watching it at home alone in London as my family were out and I was ill...by the 90th minute I'd never felt better. This was one of the happiest nights!

That goal by Steven Gerrard was amazing!

2:13 Gerrard says 'set it' to Rio. What a goal

I'll never forget this match as long as I live. Owen's performance is the stuff of legend.

i'm from argentina and although i was very young at the time of this match, i've always been a huge huge fan of the Premier League and English national team from 2000 to 2010 or so and to be honest, i feel kind of sad that these playerse couldn't win anything given the HUGE talent they had. Football was truly unfair with them

An English team full of true legends! Beckham, Gerrad and Owen were my idols. Very unfortunate they havent won a trophy.
I’m a German and I learned English when I spent 2 months in Liverpool reading Michael Owens biography. (The first English book I was reading from the beginning to the end.) He’s mentioned this match in there...

What a team, England was back then. Beckham, Scholes, Owen, Gerrard, Campbell

Heskey just released his autobiography, "Even Heskey Scored", which suggests a level of self awareness rarely seen in footballers.

Beckham work rate was superhuman in this match

This is making me tearing up...
As a person who born in '91,
These are the names I grew up adored.
David Seaman, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, Alan Shearer.
Man... Those were the days...

That was one of the best matches I ever watched... It is very cool to score 5 goals when there is Kahn on the field...

[jackofspades]

That Steven Gerrard goal is my favorite goal of all time. Always tried to replicate it growing up, very difficult.

[jackframpton]

The pace on Owen when he gets the ball, we just don't have anyone who can do that anymore.

Nearly 20 years ago wow. Where has that gone, remember watching it in Newquay in the Central pub while on holiday. Great game.

One of the maddest nights in my life, the scenes on the streets outside the pubs after the game....
