Hoddle was nuts for not taking Gascoigne to the World Cup.
That's the reason why I still hate him to this very day!! Gazza would have shined in front of the world but he couldn't 🤬🤬🤬
It was confirmed Hoddle was and probably still is NUTS!!!
Gazza was injured

That would have been halfway through the tournament. The decision was just about his fitness. It was a bitter disappointment that he wasn't fit.” Gascoigne's fitness was a concern in the months leading up to the World Cup, but it was a friendly against Morocco that convinced Hoddle to leave him out of the squad.
The best English footballer of all time! What class! Love you Gazza!
No
Gazza .. He was a magical footballer! Absolute balance, composure and bags of genius!
I was lucky enough to be there that night. Gascogne’s performance was amazing. His control of the midfield drove the Italians crazy.
Big Ron saying the Italian police relishing the trouble. Can't imagine Jermaine Jenas saying something like that 🤣🤣
A great talent than left her mark on an era, l will always remember her with love respect. Turkey love from İstanbul Gazza 🙏🤠
That Italian defence was probably the best 3 ya will ever see on a football field…Gazza just loved the big games what a player
Dead right, like Zidane - come the hour, come the man
He took Albertini to the cleaners with that Cruyff turn...🙌
One of the greatest attacking midfielders of all time. A lot of people seriously underestimate his brilliance and he was magnificent in this crunch game against Italy. England could have won France 98 with Gazza in the team.
This was arguably the best game he ever played for England. He knew he'd lost a yard of pace but his discipline, positioning, passing and work rate were top class. He had the Italian midfield in his pocket.
@James Manning but did you see him in Englands warm up games just before France 1998 (possibly Tunisa the opposition) ?.
He did look badly over weight after knocking about with Chris Evans and Danny Baker for months leading upto the tournament
He had a great first half, waned a bit in the second- though England were more on the backfoot in that half. In the first half he was the best player on the field, he looked a cut above anyone else. His short and medium range passing was very good. He also reacted in a more mature way when fouled than he had in the past, though he was still prone to being a bit dangerous with some of his own tackling.
I think he lacked match fitness at this stage of his career after 45 mins he was running on empty. His passing and touches could become very sloppy. Possibly one of the reasons hoddle didn't pick him for the world Cup. Because you only rely on him for one half a football after that he could become a liability. Bad touches and passing getting frustrated and getting himself sent off. I think that's what hoddle was afraid off.
England has produced some great players over the last 40 years. But Gazza is the one that stands out as having something really special at international level.
Just a joy to watch , my idol as a kid
Me to mate he was a genius with a football
It's fine art watching Gazza boss a midfield..You'd have never have believed in that time, we'd soon have to watch Lamps and Gerrard for a decade or more after.!Gazza you genius!
nice work
Nobody properly nurtured his talent or helped him cope with the fame…. Love Gazza and hate how the media destroyed his life…i.e. hacking his phone and making him think everyone close to him was lying to him….haven’t bought a newspaper since! He should have been revered like Maradona, pele or platini… and the only Englishman I’ve ever seen that when receiving the ball the opposition took a step back in fear.
Even if he could have only given his all for only 45-60 minutes of a game in this stage of his career he should have still gone to the World Cup he would have made all the difference, Hoddle made a big mistake not taking him cos he had that certain something to change a game in a second, I’m sure he would have given his everything in that World Cup is a real shame he never went 😖😞
Proper footballer
One of the most innately talented footballers that England's ever produced...
I was there. Police were a disgrace. So was Hoddle for not taking Gazza to '98.
To be honest the police had done very well to restore order to the idiotic hooligans who were causing nothing but trouble
Teddy, Beckham and Gazza, three of the best passers that's played for England.
Teddy Sheringham is criminally underrated. When Eric Cantona retired, Sir Alex bought him from Spurs - a master stroke. United became almost unbeatable.
madness to think 90% of us wanted him in the world cup squad to be a mascot if he wasn't fit enough
I remember his interview after the match and he said that England basically fell over and cheated better than Italy on the day. 🤣
Still gutted he didn't go to 98.
At least allow him to be a super sub if the opportunity arises. Still scratch my head at the decision as well.
gazza could go on the piss for 3 days and still play well...we were the best team in the world 96-97
Looked a right state by the end when he came off no wonder he wasn't selected.
Not surprised he smoked 20 benson & hedges a day not including the booze daily. If was the modern day professional he would’ve been unbelievable. But back then it was a different day & game with no we’re near the money there is today. I think Gazza went for an enormous fee of just £5million 😳
I remember those days “Beckham to Gazza…” 😢
Possibly his greatest England performance. Got hoddle to the world cup ......Then the rest is tragic history .😡
Some player
Gascoigne could’ve been England’s greatest football player.
He is!!! 😊
Who is then if he’s not yes it might have been short lived but he’s the best
He was. No one better than him.
And Hoddle didn’t take him to the WC to take Rob Lee and Paul Merson instead!
Adpired big crack !! The bob sharlton The yers 90s !! Indiciplini in live of futbol, no contributed fRom progress in carrear , in question the is whay and grascoignee isso crack abilited aparence Bob Charlton! ! 👏
Yeah, but not everyone sees it that way
@@adamclark1972uk 😂
Just remember everyone: he'd have gone to WC98 if not for the tabloids wanting their pound of flesh.
i'd bet someone was paid off not to pick him so the hosts would have an easier chance...and ronaldos food was tainted on the day of the final
Gascone always enjoying playing football very talented but playing on the midfield basics
Who's Gascone?? 🤣
Gascoigne's career... how much of a difference would it have made if Hoddle chose him for the squad next year? We can only imagine.
He wasn’t fit, he barely got through a warm up friendly before the World Cup
You can have more video games Gascoigne? For example, euro 96
I can try to make more games of Gazza in the near future. Would be tough to make compilations of Euro 96 though, as they get taken down unfortunately.
You can also watch more Gazza vids from this channel but I see you are already familiar with it, seeing as you've already commented on one of his vids.
Will just leave the link for the others then.

I'll never forgive Glenn Hoddle whilst I've a hole in my arse for not taking Gascoigne to France 98. Hoddle hated players that were better than him and there wasn't many if I'm honest but I loathe him for dropping gazza.
If I could give a World Cup medal to any player it would be Paul, the only player who comes near Sir Bobby Charlton
I love Gazza. Best player of all time in my opinion. Yes, even better than Messi. Just never realised his potential. I know Messi is excellent, of course, but I don't feel the same buzz of excitement that you get when the ball comes to Gazza. I agree with Maradona, Messi has a flat personality, and somehow despite his brilliance, that comes through on the pitch. You cannot accuse Gazza of having a flat personality.
Your the most DELUSIONAL fan I've stumbled across🤣🤣🤣
Bet Hoddle regrets not taking Gazza in 98 to France, with his one touch passing and movement England's midfield looked sharper, wonder if the emergence of Scholes influenced Hoddle's decision.
This guy was as good as Zidane.
I do not remember watching him play at that World Cup..
Blame Glenn Hoddle
HE WAS VERY CRUCIAL IN ENGALNDS OFFENSIVE PLAYING.
The problem was after this, he hit the booze harder & gained weight & became too unfit for a major tournament sadly.
Why did england take hoddles decision not to take him to the world cup honestly was the man sick in the head or something.😮
How on earth did Gazza not make France 98????
This was October 1997. By the time France 98 came around, he wasn't in the same form or condition.
@@lodersracing Behave
@@lodersracing No, it's because the press released pictures just before selection of him having a night out and he'd dropped out of top flight football to play for Boro. He still played reasonably well the next season in the Prem after their promotion. He wasn't peak 96-97 Gazza, but rather than support him he was cut loose. Hoddle also wasted Le Tissier when he was still playing solid football after the press had a go at his tracking back and lack of pace.
A decade later they'd have it in for Joe Cole for "losing possession" before a goal - continuing a pattern of the Press never letting us have creative midfielders and wasting unique talents dating back decades.
Video: Gascoigne vs Italy
Thumbnail: Spain
Wild reckless lunges, that were attempted tackles, that could have seen red. Misplaced, attempted creative passes. Acceleration gone & can't drift past players. Dwelling on the ball to long. Safe to say. This version of Gascoigne was past it's sell by date. Can see why Hoddle didn't take him to the '98 world cup.
Disagree, he was the best player first half. Willing to try through passes, dribbles and runs. His creativity wasn't as effective as first half but still classy. He wasn't the player he was in 1990 but still a fine player.
Biddle should have definitely included him in WC '98 squad.
You need some context. This was one of the most nerve-wracking England games I've seen. They needed a point to qualify against a bloody good Italian side, far better than the team that won the Euros. He forced an England side that found possession difficult to keep the ball. He received possession in incredibly difficult areas, pirouetted, kept it away from them. One thing you don't see there is that Paul Ince, his partner in midfield, was off the pitch for at least 15 minutes in that first half and Gascoigne took the sting out of it and controlled the tempo. Agree about his tackling, he never learnt and also that he was 6/7 years past his peak. He's nowhere near 90/91 Gascoigne at this point. Just shows how talented he was that he was still able to do this at this point in his career with all his issues.
The only reason that Hoddle didn't take him was that in early 1998 he had let himself go- the Gazza in THIS game did a very good job, and if he'd kept himself in this shape he would have been taken to France '98. He certainly wasn't reckless with possession in this game, he keeps it far more than most players, and not simply by passing it around the back as they do these days. I'm watching this again and at just over 3 minutes in, one of his passes is intercepted for the first time...Pacino needs glasses.
Then Glenn hoddle dropped him
Stupid Hoddle leaving him out of the 98 WC
great team except for the arsenal players they were in the team due to their director also being and england director, so as you can guess he rigged it so arsenal won the league many times and the referees were paid off and fans cry was same old arsenal always cheating, but yes gazza was a shining star despite the corruption
Did he ever look good here.
Such a shame....
Hoddle was one of the worst England managers of all time. Imagine not picking Gazza for the World Cup!
A yard slower and 50% less body strength from his prime. Awful
All he did was pass the ball 3 or 4 yards it's hardly world class
Spot the non football fan!
Gascoigne is argentinian
@coolmeenmac761
And still the best player on that pitch by a mile
