@@Estazhebecause of this win, russia went on to euros, Croatia didn't have to win this game, we already qualified for the tournament. So, by beating England, we sent them home, and Russia went to the euros instead
Rakitić never played for Croatia U-21, he played for Switzerland youth selections, till U-19. He started playing for Croatian National team when he was 19. In this game he's only 19 years old.
@@MatthewDaSmitdogIvica Olic ( Bog te blagoslovje) destroyed Russian League, Bundesliga and Champions League with Bayern, turkish national team and other national teams like yours, and many others... Put some respect on this men's name, there a many different type of players and not all look like Sir David Beckham, but that doesn t mean that you have to downgrad the fantastic career of Ola, like we call him in Hrvatska.
Dudu played for Dinamo Zagreb, and has scored so many goals against Hajduk Split. Full stadium of 35k people in Split would close their eyes every time he recieved a ball. Hajduk is in heart of every Dalmatian so is in mine. Deep in our souls. And .... hard to imagine... But we all love Dudu. There was never a player from Dinamo that we acctualy love. But we love Dudu, and always have. Even tho he has given us so much pain. I remember day when that butcher Martin Taylor broke his leg. I admit, I shed a tear and I wasn't the only Hajduk fan... many, many of us. It is one of the saddest days of Croatian childhood, along with the Turkish tragedy of 2008
If Dudu stayed in similar form as before injury croatian team would have 1st striker for a decade and with him we would probably won some of those KO matches
@@lotuseater7247 The pundits were very arrogant about facing us, calling the 1st win in Zagreb a fluke and attributing Robinsons blunder to our keeper making a hole in the pitch . Saying they would win 100% the second game. Ironically pundits were also arrogant in 2018 saying they were already in the finals vs us and got another humbling reality check.
@@BKcroatia well I'm an England fan, I went from not expecting them to get out the group stage at the beginning to then thinking they'd make the final by beating Croatia. Actually, I think England threw away their lead. But it's the same every time, fans get over excited only to get a reality check when the team fail to close the deal! They rightly got punished by a solid team. This Euros there's pundits saying England must win it, and are favourites. It's true they have a great squad, possibly the strongest, but I do not expect too much this time, as they have weaknesses and seem to switch between lacking belief to over confidence. It could be misconstrued as arrogance, I get that, but I think it's more like a child who gets over excited and allows their imagination to exceed the reality of their abilities. It ends in crying very often! The pundits and the fans need a middle ground of cautious optimism.
Petrić's goal is embedded in my mind since I watched it as a 9 year old and it still remains a fond memory, the frame of the shirt being pulled from the net by the ball. Amazing.
@@matthewdoyle3877 Nobody said you never had a good keeper, but come on. Carson, Robinson, James? Even Pickford is mid, you're just hyped cus you didnt have a real keeper for 30 + years...
This match was one of the sweetest wins for sure. Especially because we already qualified but your media is the main reason why we won. They underestimated us although we won 2 - 0 in the first game as well. This got our boys and the entire nation fired up. We wanted to deny you a great tournament because of your foolish media and we succeded. Your media did the same mistake in 2018. The semifinal match wasnt about going through to the finals as much as it was about proving you wrong and making you eat your words. Its hard to explain to a foreigner the social climate in the country at that time but thats what it was about. Our players went on record confirming the english media was their greatest motivation. England has no modesty in football. That Beckham pass is masterclass btw, I could spend the entire day just looking at that pass. Also Mladen Petrić is one of the most underrated footballers in world football. Definetly the most underrated Croatian player of all time. First time I heard of him he saved a penalty for Basel. Yeah, he saved a last minute penalty when their keeper got sent off. Later on in his career he dominated the bundesliga scoring 2 overhead kick goals in 1 season and adding a ton of top corner dust cleaning eurogoals as well. His tandem with Olić is the 2nd best in the history of the bundesliga in terms of goal contributions in a single season only behind Džeko-Grafite. And he always delivered for Croatia, always. Beast of a player. It's a shame he went under the radar of european top clubs somehow. Until we meet again...
Terry and Cole apparently played for Chelsea a few days later. Neville was out with a long term injury most of that season. Think Carragher had retired from international football at that point. Not sure about Ferdinand.
Back when Euros where 16 teams, and qualification phase mattered. Now it's 24 tea, half of the teams in the continent plays in it (many of those teams are micros states or subdivisions (Wales, N. Ireland...etc
I don't know what country you come from but I'll wager that Wales and Northern Ireland have had a national football team far longer than yours. And by your stupid logic England are also a "subdivision".
The penalty was a clear gift to England,we sent you home anyways same as we did in 2018 , always the richest countries get extra penalty or any help possible,but we shut you down always
It was a penalty, the gift was from Simunic with a totally unnecessary shirt pull on Defoe because Defoe was never getting to the ball ahead of Pletikosa. Anyway didn't matter at all in the end and Croatia got the win that they deserved, they should've won by more really.
Not just that. See where Crouch is even b4 Lampard makes the shot. He is on 5m from the goal. Not just him.... It had to be taken again... But non the less. As a Croatian, i was glad we won, but i was also sad England didnt make it.
No, being real, it was a penalty, Simunic pulled Defoe's shirt from behind. No reason to do it, but it was a foul. Not strong contact but if you pull someone's shirt from behind that is just an unfair foul move to stop them from trying to get to the ball.
That pass from Eduardo to make it 2-0 was one of the best I've ever seen in my entire life. I can hardly forgive Martin Taylor for fouling this wonderful Arsenal and Croatia player so badly that he couldn't play at the European Championships 2008.
Yeah, when Eduardo got injured it was no coincidence that Arsenal's title challenge fell apart, he had become an important player for them. Then of course he sadly missed Euro 2008 as well.
Best victory before this was 3 - 0 against Germany when we knocked them out of the WC back in 98. Stratch that, same tournament 2 - 1 against the Netherlands to secure 3rd place. This match was one of the sweetest wins for sure. Especially because we already qualified but your media is the main reason why we won. They underestimated us although we won 2 - 0 in the first game as well. This got our boys and the entire nation fired up.

wtf ur talking about. We were alredy on euro 2008 b4 this game. We also won against England in first game in Zagreb. But this is the greatest ? Why ? Croatia has a loooot of wins against any of top10 european teems execpt Portugal. This was pure joy. By the way, we were about to lose this game by going into easy and watch to not get injured, and then freakin english did some shit first at the airport for takeing into coustudy our member of our FA for listing trough some newspapers on the airport for a few seconds... and putting it back withtout buying them (wich you can do in Croatia, but obvisuly not in England), after that there was bigtime shittalk from English media for no reason.

@@useryt205 my comment was about how far we’ve come from where we were in this particular time. In comparison to this game, even qualifying for those tournaments is an improvement. Trophy or not, things are much brighter now. Having a chance of winning a tournament has gone from a delusion to a genuine possibility.
Late 90s and 2000s England team remains a mystery to me. To have Terry, Ferdinand, Campbell, Cole, Richards, Lampard, Cole, Scholes, Carrick, Gerrard, Becham, Rooney Crouch and Owen and not to even come close to winning anything... Unbelievable. From my point of view, two major issues for England were unreliable goalkeepers and fatalist mindset - I can't count how many times England lost a game that was already won, with the worst example being 2004 Euro injury time defeat against France. I do agree that ENgland looks far better now. Talent was never an issue, so now with three good goalkeepers, a generational leader in Kane and with a stacked team full of exciting young players it doesn't seem unlikely that England might actually win something in the upcoming years. And I would actually be glad if you did - yes, I said it! :D
@@agnezabarutanski1963 There were more good teams around then than there are now. People forget that. England weren't the best and they lacked strength in depth.
I know they like(d) this in Scotland ;-)...they definitely did so in Russia (the press was hilarious)...after many a classy game by Croatia, this match still contains some of the biggest moments in Croatian football....a) the 2:0 is the best counter attack 2 vs 6 by a Croatian side ever, b) Mladen Petric was more than a mere substitute, he was on top of his form and wanted to show what he can do, his goal was classy; c) Croatia did not even have to win this, they were through already, but young Modric in his 2nd year was leading an energetic and proud team; alas, amidst the England mayhem the genius chip by Becks to Crouch will never get the credit it deserves
Does anyone remeber the song after this match ? Now thats something that ill never forget...7000 croatian fans singing,and not one English voice to be heard
Soon it will be 2 decades of Modrić in the Croatian national team. He said as long as he can help the team he will play. I'm sure he will be able to help another 4 years to make the 2 decades full

England in this game not only had bad luck, they were so "taking for granted" that they would at least get a draw. Well, God prepare food for each bird but never put it in the nest. Btw, Croatia was not a too strong team at the time, they did well in the following year's Euro, but did not even make it to the 2010 World Cup! Kind of surprising.
Croatia always look like world beaters when they play the big nations Brazil 2022 England 2018 Argentina 2018 England 2008 Germany 1998 Even Spain, France and Italy have a hard time beating them
@@metalprincesses5073 yes they did but I believe Croatia were exhausted after their semi battle with England and their quarter final into penalties with hosts Russia....I think they were in another Extra time game at the last 16. France exploited that with pace by the speedster kylian mbappe. I remember Croatia drawing with France 2-2 in the group stages at Euro 2004 whereby Croatia should have beaten them.
@@metalprincesses5073 Croatia dominated that game throughout. The TV stat was 68-32 for Croatia and the shots and corner counts were similar. They were denied by refereeing decisions and the pitch invasion.

05:45 (Crouch's goal) 'Is this the goal that saves England from HUMILIATION' !! And THERE it is, the English belief that they're 'up there with the Brazils, the Italy's, the Germany's etc, etc !. All because of a flukey 'win' in 1966 - somehow the English seem to believe it means that they will win if again someday - thank ****** for reality !!
Crouch saves England from humiliation? It ain't humiliation to lose from Croatia, better teams and nations fell from it's play. English still think about themselves much more what they're worth actually
No this was a penalty, Simunic pulled Defoe's shirt. The fakest penalty of this Euro 2008 qualification was actually against England when Russia got a fake penalty when Rooney fouled someone outside the penalty area, it should've been a freekick just outside the penalty area. Anyway, that said, England did not deserve to qualify because they were worse than Croatia and Russia over the course of the whole qualifying period.

@@hen5555 okay, so by that logic let's just invalidate Zidane, Figo and R9 all the same 😅
Imagine we had Srna on one side and Perišić on other side. And Eduardo as striker. Worlds champions for sure.
Watched it - was a great match. Modrić like a time traveler - guess no one else is still playing today.
Rakitic is still playing 😉
Soon it will be 2 decades of Modrić in the Croatian national team. He said as long as he can help the team he will play. I'm sure he will be able to help another 4 years to make the 2 decades full
If he does another EURO that would already be great.@@hrvat7770
Scott Carson is the best goalkeeper in Croatian football history
Bio sam na ovoj utakmici.
That was a clinic!
Eduardo!❤❤❤
And you are lucky we didn't put 7 goals
Я слышал слово Russia, когда показывали макларена
Kranjčar played in Portsmouth
England in this game not only had bad luck, they were so "taking for granted" that they would at least get a draw. Well, God prepare food for each bird but never put it in the nest. Btw, Croatia was not a too strong team at the time, they did well in the following year's Euro, but did not even make it to the 2010 World Cup! Kind of surprising.
Croatia always look like world beaters when they play the big nations
Brazil 2022
England 2018
Argentina 2018
England 2008
Germany 1998
Even Spain, France and Italy have a hard time beating them
Even though France beat Croatia 4-2 in WC 2018 final
@@metalprincesses5073 yes they did but I believe Croatia were exhausted after their semi battle with England and their quarter final into penalties with hosts Russia....I think they were in another Extra time game at the last 16.
France exploited that with pace by the speedster kylian mbappe. I remember Croatia drawing with France 2-2 in the group stages at Euro 2004 whereby Croatia should have beaten them.
@@metalprincesses5073 Croatia dominated that game throughout. The TV stat was 68-32 for Croatia and the shots and corner counts were similar. They were denied by refereeing decisions and the pitch invasion.
Je suis français je me demande si les supporters anglais ils avait insulter Steve Mclaren et joueurs ?
This is not the first time that English goalkeeper makes crucial mistakes. Remember Croatia - England 2-0
What Owen said about Croatia before the game came back to haunt him..
Najjača Hrvatska
"unless Andorra scores against Russia in next 3 minutes".... U KNOW U FUCKED UP BIG TIME WHEN THAT'S YOUR LAST HOPE
Luka's book brought me here
first qualyfing campaign without scholes
No team would have been awarded this position other than England.
🇭🇷❤️🔥 je bila bolja u ovoj utakmici.
🇭🇷❤️🔥 was better in this match.
what a penalty for england. pljuc
How clear is what kind of players are Lampard Gerard 😅
Croatia helped Russia to get qualified while England was eliminated. Russian oligarchs bought Croatian players most expensive cars back in time.
Deadly left foot petric
Prime Eduardo just different...
Croatia ❤️
Death, Taxes, and Croatia beating England in major matches
İngilizler futbolu biz bulduk diyorlar ama futboldan anladıkları yok malesef. Hiç bir zaman kendilerine ait güçlü bir oyunları olmadı. Taktik yok düzen yok topu alan ileri koşuyor ve bu yüzden aradan geçen yaklaşık 17 yılda değişen bir şey yok İngiliz milli takımı halen aynı
Imagine if old Yugoslavia is together as before.... (Just about 15mil people)
24 mil. (War off)
@@MD-ih3nx I meant nowadays
Penalty for england? 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it was penalty, shirt pull on Defoe by Simunic.
The softest penalty I've ever seen
Scott Carson didn't have his day.
why should the english players be in disbelief that croatia beat them ?? did they think it would be a walk over ??
dudu i olić 💯
05:45 (Crouch's goal) 'Is this the goal that saves England from HUMILIATION' !! And THERE it is, the English belief that they're 'up there with the Brazils, the Italy's, the Germany's etc, etc !. All because of a flukey 'win' in 1966 - somehow the English seem to believe it means that they will win if again someday - thank ****** for reality !!
Why is it every time I think of England I think of penalty goals and lately Harry Kane taking penalties
That's because the 'big' teams are favoured by referees and penalties are given more freely for the favoured teams.

Beckham's shoos have eys
8:19 - it seems Eng coatch didn`t congratulate Cro`s Slaven Bilic
Nope, because he ended his career that day
Olic!
Crouch saves England from humiliation? It ain't humiliation to lose from Croatia, better teams and nations fell from it's play. English still think about themselves much more what they're worth actually
Carson played poorly, needed to save the 1st and 3rd goals.
Baš se vidi osveta Engleza na Eduardu godinu poslje, zrtvovali su martina taylora
lol, what a penalty simulation, but even that did not save them...
Simunic did pull Defoe's shirt though, it wasn't obvious but it was a foul.
🔴⚪🔵
Bahata Engleska cüüs papa.😅 koljevka nogometa kao a nikad nista ne mogu osvojit vec 60 god😅
First goal of england is fucking comedy....no penality 😂😂😂
I think we, Croats, with that win, helped Russia to go to Euro! This was the fakest penalty in Euro qualifications!
Many people like me are still grateful to you guys for that win. Hi from the Urals from a lifelong Dynamo fan.
No this was a penalty, Simunic pulled Defoe's shirt. The fakest penalty of this Euro 2008 qualification was actually against England when Russia got a fake penalty when Rooney fouled someone outside the penalty area, it should've been a freekick just outside the penalty area. Anyway, that said, England did not deserve to qualify because they were worse than Croatia and Russia over the course of the whole qualifying period.
Croatia playing with balls hanging down their knees here.
That was 110% penalty 😂😂😂
the first goal was pretty much an own goal by Carson
Lol, you can still rely on England 😂😂😂
England no good
CROATIA!!!!
You sure this wasn't filmed in 1977?
Comparing this to England 2-0 Italy from that year, you'll want your marbles tested!
@@SuperTed19021 I was purely referring to the quality
have a cry 😂
@@allstarwatt7246 I don't think you understood what I meant 🥰
No, this was filmed in 1988
