  1. The nerves, the nerves! This is intense. Anyone got any suggestions on how to cope?

  2. FAST FORWARD

    Peter Shilton
    England goalkeeper at Italia 90

    "At full-time Bobby told us it was there for us if we wanted it, and to go and make it happen. We were all feeling positive and the momentum in the game was with us."

  3. FULL-TIME

    All square then. We go again for another half hour...

  4. Join the debate at #wc90

    Matty: Don't care what anyone says, in his prime especially for England, Gary Lineker was different gravy, one of the best strikers.

    Mark: Stuart Pearce was a beast back then, but what a golazo from Lineker.

    Gareth: Four thousand England fans, for a World Cup semi? The European ban and hooliganism, really did put English football in the toilet.

  5. I've not been this thrilled since I saw Total Recall last month. See you at the party England?

    LAST MINUTE

  6. Anyone for extra time? It worked for England in 1966...

  7. The Turin branch of the England choir are in full voice, with renditions of 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' 'You're not singing anymore' and 'Let's all have a disco' in full voice.

    What a night. Soak it up boys, who knows when you'll enjoy such a scene again?

    Richard: Gary Lineker has a left foot, who knew?

    Phil: Great strike Gary, we'll go on to win this now.

    Johnny: LINEKAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!

  9. Can England now sneak a winner? The momentum is all theirs.

  10. World Cup Grandstand commentator John Motson in Turin

    "The Germans got themselves into a terrible tangle and how they were made to pay - Lineker picked his spot with a beautiful left-footer. Well we did say it wasn't over and what a great moment for England and their supporters everywhere."

  11. Steve Bull had just taken his tracksuit top off before Gary Lineker's equaliser. Bully is now back in the pen.

  12. A right mess in that German backline and there's nobody else you wanted on that one. Gary Lineker's 10th World Cup goal. Hopefully not his last.

  13. FAST FORWARD

    MOTD presenter Gary Lineker

    "We didn't give up. We kept going as we had done throughout the competition. It just fell nicely for me. It fell on my left foot - the old swinger - and it hit the back of the net. It was a great feeling."

  14. Trevor Brooking
    Former England midfielder

    "It's no more than we deserve! I imagine there will be some crockery needing to be replaced back home. The Germans got themselves in a mess and Lineker picked his spot with that left foot."

  15. FAST FORWARD

    "I've never been so relieved in my life as when Gary Lineker scored. The Germans should have defended better and Gary was always going to hit the target."

  16. GOAL

    Gary Lineker scores

    GGGOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!

    Gary Lineker you beauty! Paul Parker pumps a long ball forward, Jurgen Kohler and Klaus Augenthaler get in each other's way, and Lineker smashes home left footed into the bottom corner!

    Game on!

    Andrew: Biting nails 13 minutes to go...

  18. Gary Lineker has been very quiet, he's barely had a sniff. Four years ago in Mexico he found a late goal when it mattered though, maybe he can do it again...

  19. Bryan Robson
    Injured England captain on World Cup Grandstand

    "We didn't have much luck on the free kick for Germany's goal but if the lads keep playing, and there is still plenty of time, we could get something from a free-kick or a corner. There is still something in this game for us."

  20. England of course found late goals against Belgium and Cameroon. Let's keep the faith...
