It always makes one smile when a fellow swede is included in on of your videos. Brolin is one of the most iconic players in the eyes of swedish football fanatics bron around 1960-80s and his status has even reached the ears of younglings born around the millenia.
You said no other contender «came close» to Luka Modric in 2008, but I would say Sergio Ramos, who was only 22 at the time and won the tournament having put in great performances as right back, easily could have won the award that year.
Could you make a video on the Basque country national team which toured Europe, South America, and North America as well coming 2nd the first ever season of Mexican league during the mid to late 1930s. They toured the three separate continents whilst escaping the Spanish Civil War and were raising money for the Basque country.
@@manashjr.karjee5512 relegation after 40 years of playing in the Bundesliga, and just 10 years ago they were beating Inter 3:0 in the Champions League group stages.
Wigan, Southampton, Sunderland and yes you are correct to mention Spurs. We won the cup in 1901 whilst still a Southern League team, beating all the football league teams!
Considering you were born in 1996 (I think), when you say "I still think Kluivert was the most impressive" is this a comment from having watched footage of their matches from Euro '96? If that is the case, I'd like to ask, where are you watching these matches?
He mentioned Jordi Cruijff who according to my former Manchester born and United hardcore fan goal keeper who i played with at my club (which pitch lays 1 mile of Jordi his fathers boyhood house) said was the worst player to ever play for United.
Something I've also always wanted to know. Just like his previous video of Denmark winning the Euros, he described the games like he watched every single match Denmark played in the tournament in 1992. I wonder where you can find match footage like that - unless he has corporate access which to be fair is possible given his employer!
@@adamuoldvids7052 I don't know whether Alfie has watched them for this video or not, but if you would like to watch them you can do so on footballia.net/. They have footage of a ton of historic football matches, including all matches played during euros and the world cup (of course since the technology to film them has been good enough).
Balotelli didn’t “return” to AC Milan after Man City, that was the first time he played for them. He joined City from Inter. I remember the controversy when he was at City being seen in an AC Milan shirt and saying it was the club he supported, despite being a former Inter player.
Christian Ziege was the young player that everyone was raving about during euro 96 if there had have been a young player award he or possibly Poborsky (if he was under 22) would have won it. Cool video though 👍
Can you please do a video about dejan savicevic? I recently found out about him and I think your input on him would add so much to my perception of him.
Tomas Brolin owned a restaurant (Undici) around the corner from mine around 2006 in Ostermalm in Stockholm. He used to waddle past my restaurant looking a little worse for wear from a bad diet, by the looks of it. Word was he was hiring illegal immigrants to work in his kitchen and he got fined for it. He closed up shortly after that and sold his restaurant on. But like HITC said, not sure what he's doing now.
1996 has to be Gary Neville , might be wrong but think he just makes the age restriction. He was possibly England’s best player at that tournament and went on well ... his career is the best RB in prem history
Day does it really matter: 7 Clubs, that have never been promoted. If there are even 7. In Germany, we have 1 Club, that fits this description: HSV. At least as far as I am aware of... Maybe there is some 9th League Club that never got promoted as well...
not to be pedantic here, but modric didn't sign for spurs to come to the prem, he signed for portsmouth under harry redknapp and was sold on to spurs before his big money move to real.
5:20 - Luka Modric became the oldest player to score a goal in Euros history when he scored in the group stage match between Croatia & Italy at Euro 2024!!
Just 15 seconds in and I gotta say, not only the Euro can show new talent, Copa America as well. Or are you saying that you guys saying that a cup with Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay as an example isn't good?
Although a much worse player than Modric now, Euro 2008's best youngster was Arda Turan. 2 goals in the group stage in great comebacks and reached the semi-final. Scored his penalty in the shootout which Modric missed.

Rooney at EURO 2004 was insane man. If we won that penalty shootout, I reckon the tournament was ours. It was such an unfortunate way to crash out. Last minute goal by Portugal also.
