Alan Shearer is on fire! That’s the Blackburn striker’s fifth goal in five Euro 96 matches. Before coming here took him 23 games to score five goals. No wonder Manchester United are desperate to sign him for a British-record £15m fee this summer…

In case you couldn't see the clip of the goal where you are, here's Alan Shearer's goal in Opta graphic form. Paul Gascoigne's corner is flicked on by Tony Adams and Shearer heads home. 

Our multimedia team have clipped that Alan Shearer goal up really quickly. Here it is in all its glory for you to watch.

Think this fella's face sums up the feelings of the entire nation!

“Straightforward stuff wasn’t it? Ball to the near post clears the first man, Tony Adams gets between the two defenders, the faintest of touches and where was the marker for Alan Shearer? We’re not complaining. It is a wonderful start.”

MattVillan: Sheareeeeeeer! 

Andrew Hardingham: yeees leaping up on the sofa 1-0 England

Mark O'Meara: GOOOOOAAAALL! Shearer! We're gonna win the Euros and everything 

Ooof! Good effort from Paul Ince, forcing Andreas Kopke into an early punch over his bar. Early corner for England. Can they make it count?

Steve Gallagher: What is Venables doing playing Platt at right-back? He just doesn't care anymore 

England, wearing that all grey kit, enjoy plenty of early pressure. The home fans still providing plenty of noise.

Here we go! England are playing for a place in their first final since 1966. Leave it all out there lads!

England captain Tony Adams and German counterpart shake hands in the middle. The Germans to kick-off. Almost show-time. Do not leave your sofa.

“The atmosphere is fantastic – let’s hope we have a game to match it. The expectancy levels are massive."

Missed Saturday's win against Spain? Don't worry here are the highlights from Wembley.

England manager Terry Venables ahead of kick-off: “Obviously beating Spain was a wonderful occasion for us and everybody in the country makes it very special to all of us. 

"But we do have to come back down to earth because we have a very important game against Germany."

On Germany's tactics: “I think they will play their usual five at the back, but one of those, or two of those, will come forward and break out. I’d be very surprised if they changed from that system.”

CM 1997/1998: Ha ha, that lass from the cup final this year feels vindicated by that singer

We've got some big nerve jitters already. Not from the England players. From Paul Young! The 80s teen idol, now sporting the classic mid-life musician goatee beard, thinks he misses his cue.

David Platt and Gazza give him an inquisitive glance, the singer realising he hit the opening bar in perfect time. England’s singing becomes louder and lung-busting as the camera pans along the line. 

Defensive trio Southgate, Pearce and Adams leading the chest beating. El Tel claps from the sideline.

I've never heard Wembley as loud as this. It was quieter during Live Aid in 1985!

Richard Lindle: Come on England. Need to be head & shoulders above the Germans tonight, extend those legs, extend your studs! Make it count 

Matthew Thornber: An early goal would settle the nerves 

Dan Fookes: Lothar Matthias, back when he was a spritley 72 year old....probably
