What an evening of footy!

England expected .. and, for once, England delivered. Both BBC and ITV had the game live as England put in a comfortable victory. Two typical Lineker goals put him top of the Golden Boot charts. The cry was now 'Bring On The Argies'.

An extra treat awaited those who stayed up for the 11pm game on the BBC. Denmark, impressive so far, were themselves demolished by an even more impressive Spain. Butragueno finding the net four times to equal the record for most goals by a player in one game (Salenko of Russia got five against Cameroons in 1994).

Into the knockout stages (the first time since 1938 that the knockout stages began at 16 teams).

The BBC were live at 7pm as the hosts made it into the quarter finals, and then a treat for anyone who stayed up late for the ITV game kicking off at 11pm with Belgium, having just sneaked into the round, putting four past the Soviet Union. Belanov's hat trick placed him sharing the golden boot but no-one thought he would stay there.
