The Metro decided to lead with that “no regrets” line from Jordan Henderson, who added that there has been no talk of the Euro 96 semi-final with Germany and that penalty miss by current England boss Gareth Southgate.


It may not get mentioned in the England camp between now and Tuesday but you can bet you’ll hear plenty more about from, well, people like us!

Germany will be a special game – Henderson

Speaking at his news conference on Thursday, England midfielder Jordan Henderson said that facing Germany in the European Championship last 16 will be a “special game” and is an “exciting” prospect.

England host the three-time European champions in front of about 40,000 spectators at Wembley on Tuesday. It evokes memories of the Euro 96 semi-final which Germany won on penalties at the home of English football.

“It will be a very tough test. We need to stay focused and have no regrets.” Henderson said.

“It’s a special game for the players, for the fans – it’s a big game and that’s what you want to be playing in at these tournaments. It will be a very tough test.”
