he was 2nd in golden ball award. Played in Madrid. 2 years after this he won golden boot for scoring 6 goals on world cup, first Croatia ever played, Croatia won bronze.
In Scmiechels defense, he was sprinting back the whole length of the pitch and had little time to set him self up. But yeah, a great goal and fast thinking from Šuker. Greetings from Croatia.
El mejor delantero croata de todos los tiempos ,Davor Suker...era técnicamente muy bueno,buen regate,gran rematador ,gran capacidad de desmarque y un gran goleador ... hizo historia en Francia 1998
croatia lost 3-0 because it was 3rd game, 6 points, so coach replaced almost whole team. i didn't even watch that game can you imagine how disapointed i was when they said 2nd team will play?
i still have his Real Madrid kit from the 1996/1997 season i was the coolest kid in town when i played with that outfit. one of my favorite players together with Raul and Seedorf. I saw a ton of people play for my Ac Milan but i still wish Raul played for us
That was a great Croatia team, and Suker was certainly one of the best. But I gotta say, as a kid growing up and during the time of this tournament I was just amazed by Robert Prosinecki. I still think he's the moist talented Croatian player I've ever seen.
saturncho unfortunately yes it was way offside maybe 3-5 yards. I didn’t watch the game but from UA-cam clip it seems that no Danish players were protesting. Same like Mijatovic’s goal vs Juventus in 1998
@@michaelstark8720 I can’t find any past rules stating the Gk position as you explained. As long as he’s inside his own half that’s all that counts. Rule is clear even after 1990’s amendment, to stay onside an attacker must be at least level with second to last defenders on the moment the ball is touched/passed by the attacker’s teammate. When Asanovic sends the long pass (the moment his feet touches the ball), Suker is between a Danish DF and GK. GK inside/outside the box doesn’t matter. You seem very persistent about this. I hope you can give us link to the past rules (90s rules). This is not an attack I’m just really curious.
@@iganpparamarta8813 clear offside. VAR would've disallowed it. Has its benefits and negatives I guess. With VAR we wouldn't be talking about this goal.
Amazing goal, but a clear offside also (don't know WTF was the linesman up to and why was he totally out of position, but a big thanks to him for not raising the flag and preventing this epic goal).
I remember this well. It was Croatias first big tournament and it was really refreshing to watch them. Then they went on and did well at the world cup 98.
Great technique but seriously, had he not been offside, the defender would have probably gained enough positional advantage to make it so hard for him...
at the moment the pass is made, the two defenders are on the second dark stripe of grass from the halfway line. Suker is nearly on the third, so clearly 2-3 yards offside. linesman wasn't in a good position, so missed it.
Good job there was no VAR in '96...... miles offside 🤣. I'm glad too. Euro '96 was the first international tournament i remember. At 8 years old this goal really left an impression on me.
OK, so Suker did this, then Poborsky did the lob, and then Beckham did the half way line strike, and 96/97 became the season of chipping the goalkeeper. (Le Tissier vs Man Utd, Philippe Albert vs Man Utd, Eric Cantona vs Sunderland, Dennis Bergkamp vs Sunderland, even Dean Holdsworth vs Sunderland)
Watched him on television when I was a kid. Pure class

That first touch was pure class
As a Dane, this goal still is a pain to watch. That said, it is a great goal.
Denmark had some great players back then Laudrup brothers Thomas Helveg Schmeichel.
You have to admire the goal.
Absolutely OFFSIDE. Great goal though, and Croatia was winning anyway

Beautiful goal. Great first touch & unbelievable finish. What a fantastic player he was.
Suker was the striker for whom a quarter of a chance in milliseconds was enough to finish off.
Incredible player, always a nightmare for every defence.
In that group Croatia beat Denmark 3-0, Portugal beat Croatia 3-0 and Denmark beat Turkey 3-0.
Quite a rare sequence.
and turkey won against who 3:0 ? lol

Best instinctive finesse talent goal scorer ever.
One of my favourite players scoring one of my favourite goals in one of my favourite tournaments... childhood memories 💚
No wonder this guy was a beast he was top goal scorer in 1998 WC
I don't know if this is true, but I guess every time Suker faced Schmeichel in a football match, Suker scored a goal. Great goal.

Suker was pure class. Brilliant technique, outstanding talent, combined with intelligence and unique intuition.
I remember this well. It was Croatias first big tournament and it was really refreshing to watch them. Then they went on and did well at the world cup 98.
To be fair, Schmeichel was in "no man's land".
You never chip a ball when the GK is not in no-man's land
loved that goal remember it well
What a player
I remember his half way shoot!
Waoo Suker I was 13 years and he was my favourite player
Great technique but seriously, had he not been offside, the defender would have probably gained enough positional advantage to make it so hard for him...
A legend.
cold killer goal!!!
Chipping the keeper is the ultimate insult... imagine doing that to the best keeper in the world... at the European Championships
An amazing player is all I can say
1996 is the year Schmeichel suffered two absolutely glorious chips!
Top of the list pure class from a class act
Outstanding player
Stone cold finisher with incredible skills Davor. Todays striker do not possess these skills.
Schmeichel was suspect to lobs and chips, look at the goals scored in the past and that was a weakness for him.
Stupid thing to say really. All keepers are "suspect to lobs and chips"
It doesn't matter if it was offside, Maradona scored with his hand but it still counted.It looked to good not to be
it wasnt offside - go back and have a look when the ball was kicked the left back on the other side of the field was keeping him onside
at the moment the pass is made, the two defenders are on the second dark stripe of grass from the halfway line. Suker is nearly on the third, so clearly 2-3 yards offside. linesman wasn't in a good position, so missed it.
@@eddybulich3309 you go back - it is absolutely OFFSIDE

HRVATSKA!!! (means croatia)
He was in offside, maybe 2 meters ffs! Bring in VAR!
2018 Denmark-Crotia :)
Probably my favourite ever goal. Kind of heart-breaking that he's offside.

Good job there was no VAR in '96...... miles offside 🤣. I'm glad too. Euro '96 was the first international tournament i remember. At 8 years old this goal really left an impression on me.
No offside, because Schmeichel at the moment of long pass was outside of penalty box.

Best goal in euro 1996
irregular. crystal clear offside position.
браво
Me recordó al gol de Di María vs Nigeria en los Juegos Olímpicos Beijing 2008
Klasa!!
This magnificent goal would have been disallowed by VAR, since Davor is clearly offside
Wow, didn't see that. But yeah, that is aprox 2m offside.
Davor je jedna delikatesa vjerujem da je danac jos uvik na terapiji
Amazing that he did that killer first touch with his weaker foot (right), and then finished the lob with his stronger left foot.
Era o atacante que mais gostava, jogava muito....
Anyone else notice he was offside? Pause it at 0:27 - 0:28
he wasnt there were analysis later that confirmed he wasnt
@@utherlightbringer3868 Wat? He's clearly offside. No analysis is going to change that.
@@torbenwp9260 cry me a river get better goal keeper
@@torbenwp9260 its not offside bc goalkeeper is outside of six yard box in moment of passing the ball and then it counts as last defender in field
@@torbenwp9260 "A player is in an offside position if: he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent."
Suker is real prolific striker ever
Nobody saying that he was a good 2 yards offside when the pass was made?
Does it really matter...we are watching pure class finish... Thanks God there was no offside because we would never witness this kind of brilliance...
Not sure who was faster that summer, Schmiechel sprinting back to his goal after being up for a corner, or Michael Johnson in Atlanta. Lol

OK, so Suker did this, then Poborsky did the lob, and then Beckham did the half way line strike, and 96/97 became the season of chipping the goalkeeper. (Le Tissier vs Man Utd, Philippe Albert vs Man Utd, Eric Cantona vs Sunderland, Dennis Bergkamp vs Sunderland, even Dean Holdsworth vs Sunderland)

No, because the goalkeeper in the moment of long pass was outside of the box. This is the rule.
