@heroinhero69 if only... I decided to watch this one today because it was 1.5 years before my life went to crap. It's comforting to know that things were good with me back then and I was happy watching games at home. Would do anything to go back to that.
10 years later both Russia and Spain are much worse as a teams. Spain which was dominant power in the entire world in 2008-2013 has lost all it's leaders. And Russia, despite their so called "success" in world cup(quarterfinals is success for Russia I mean) is just a shadow of a great team of 2008.

I wish there was a third place playoff in this tournament, always wondered who would win between Turkey & Russia. The two surprise packages of this tournament.
It's probably the second best Euro behind Euro 2000. While Euro 2000 was kind of the end of the 90s era of football. Euro 2008 was kind of the birth of the modern era
@Vatrogasac Mirko yes you did it, but 2008 was a nightmare for U 😁 finally if you had 2 medals, look for us 2002 world cup 3.place 😉 its a game only. We did impossible in 2008. Not just for you, Switz after Czeck, Crotia and Germany ( all goals on 85to90 minutes and one 121') 😊
Turkey had Volkan in the group stage (a spectacular keeper I wish we saw more of in tournaments) but had to play Rustu in the knockouts. He had his blunders but made some good saves too
This is the most beautiful final tournament I saw and I have been watching final tournaments since 1990. Russia(Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko what players!), Croatia (introduced us Modric and Rakitic), Netherlands (would play the next world cup final with Sneijder, Roben, van Persie, Kuyt, van der Vaart and van Nistelrooy), Check Republic (Nedved retired, but they still had Koller, Baros or Plasil) and Turkey (yes, Turkey were the champions of the hearts with Nihat, Arda, Tuncay, Emre or Kazim) played great football. Italy - the world champion - was still great, Germany was Germany and Spain 2008 (with Xavi, Iniesta, David Villa, Torres, David Silva, Marcos Sena, Puyol and the others) is the most beautiful champion I saw, more beautiful even than Spain 2010 or Spain 2012. I was lucky enough to have tickets for two matches in Zurich were Romania (with Mutu, Chivu and Lobont drew with Italy and France, the finalists of the previous World Championship). Great memories. Thank you for uploading this one.
Italy and France sucked in that tournament. Germany was not "just Germany", they already had great young players like Lahm, Podolski, Schweinsteiger and Mertesacker and a legend like Klose in their squad and Löw was already their manager.

What a disappointment it must have been to Netherlands to go out in the quarterfinal against Russia, when they had just beat both France and Italy so convincingly!
@Shotaro de Niet Nothing to do with Doping lol. That Russia side was literally the Zenit St Petersburg side that won the Europa League in 2008 (Smashing Bayern 4-0, Bayer leverkusen away 4-1, Marseille, knocking out Villareal etc). The rest of the Russia squad were players from CSKA Moscow's Europa League (Uefa cup) in 2005. They had great cohesion, beat England in qualifying. Sure maybe not a massive achievement, but those two sides were strong in Europe and trained every day with their clubs. I remember thinking the Dutch would win convincingly, at the time I had tipped 4-2 to the dutch because I knew the Russians would score but i did not see the Dutch being so dominated. The Dutch were lucky it went to Extra Time.. even there they were outplayed.
@@MeddlLoide1510 man you can say whatever you want but what he says is true. Villa was essential in 2010's world cup scoring 6 goals I think, when Torres wasn't even a starter on that team. Although it is true that Torres was also key in 2012's Euro since Villa was injured back then.

Russia under Hiddink didn't make it to the 1/8 finale in WC 2014, Russia under Cherchesov made it to the 1/4 finale of WC 2018. See the difference. Russian national football team changed a lot.
I remember the Euro 2008. I was twelve years old. Netherlands beat both World Cup finalists in the group stage like it was nothing. Then they lost to Russia under Dutch coach Guus Huddink. I still can't believe it, lmao
I didn't see any of the matches France and Italy played except for those against the Netherlands. However, seeing that they both drew against Romania makes me think they were past their top of two years earlier. At the same time the Netherlands were not at their top, but coming back after a period with bad to average results (not qualified for WC 2002, semi-final in EC 2004 but not convincingly, round of 16 in WC 2006 (the notorious match against Portugal)). In fact the trend continued: in the 2010 world cup both France and Italy were disastrous (both ended last in their groups), while the Netherlands played the final. What I am trying to say is that in spite of convincingly beating France and Italy the Dutch were maybe not as good as we thought in that tournament, since France and Italy were in decline. That makes it altogether easier to understand how the Netherlands lost against a good team with an inspiring coach who was happy to accept the underdog position.
13 years ago. wow still remember. was a 12 year old kid. I remember the Turkey vs Croatia game. I was rooting for Turkey and it was the last moments of the game my father stood up and went to sleep and i told my father that i am gonna stay till the end and miracle happened... Turkey scored in the very last moment of the game. back then evertyhing was good....... good childhood memories.. btw no one dominated football at that time playerwise... it was fun to watch football at that time. it feels like football has changed.. i do not know how it changed but it surely changed a lot. the golden era of football from 2002-2008.
This is the most beautiful EURO i've seen: Great Teams Beautiful Uniforms Lovely Football And the best team won This remindes me when i play PES 2009 and PES 2010
watching this euro2008 as 10 year old Turkish boy was amazing. it showed me at a young age that anything is possible in football. we were 2-0 down in 75min against the Czech Republic and turned it around to then one up that performance and beat Croatia by penalties after conceding a goal in the 119th min and scoring in the 120th. to this day my fondest memory regarding football.
Not sure if this is true or not but here's a story I remember hearing at the time. After Turkey's defeat against Portugal in the first game, Turkey's coach called the players' mothers and apparently, the mothers yelled at them because of their poor performance. From that moment onward Turkey was phenomenal. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Turkey's game against Germany was even brighter in retrospective because Turkey was missing several players due to injury and cards.
Guys guys guys, im from Turkey. We was so good in this tournament. We are everytime came to back also havent chance in semi final. If we have little chance, i know we will be champion. Im so proud 🇹🇷
turkey was ok, but how good was Croatia, they were above england and russia in their group, then they rocked eurogroup with germany, and only some turkey equalizer goal that came out of nowhere stopped Croatia from semifinal,final,winning?
17:17 - "Я же сказал, что ему нужен ещё один момент! И он его забил!" 17:33 - "Ну и что, что забил, а время ещё будет у нас!" 17:46 - "Я щас закончу вообще всё!" 18:05 - "Аршавин с мячом, ставит корпус... До свидания!!! До свидания!!! Россия в полуфинале!"
Turkey played with a lot of heart and passion and i loved it. But Russia played very attractive and intelligent football. What they did to Netherlands was utter murder. It's only logical that Spain defeated them twice
I watched every game from that Tournament and my opinion is that Spain,Croatia,Russia and the Netherlands were the best Teams at that Euro. Spain was untouchable und played beautiful football. The game against Italy in the QF was the only bad game but both teams played very careful. Croatia faced England and Russia in the Qualifiers for that Euro and ended up being the Group Winner defeating England 2x 2:0 and the Legendary 2:3 away win on Wembley and knocked England out. They dominated Russia but both games ended 0:0. They struggled a bit against Austria but outclassed Germany 2:1 and Turkey. However their best player Eduardo at that time was injured. Croatia dominated Turkey even hit the bar and missed a lot of chances then they scored the goal in 119th minute but received the equalizer in the 122 minute and lost on penalties. Hardest loss in Croatian History and absolutely unlucky. Russia as i said tied with Croatia and also defeated England 2:1 during the qualifying. Then they destroyed Netherlands 3:1 and this Netherlands destroyed World Cup Winner Italy 3:0 und World Cup runner up France 4:1! Insane Euro!. Turkeys run was incredible but they had more luck instead of skill. Lost against Portugal, barely defeated Switzerland in the last minutes, Cech made 2 incredible mistakes and gave Turkey the ticket for the Quarterfinales. In the QF Turkey was outclassed by Croatia and they had their second shot on goal in the 122 minute which was lucky again and helped them win the penalties. However they had to play without a lot of First 11 Players but the first time in that tournament Turkey played great football it was against Germany however it was rüstüs fault that germany won. Still Turkey played with a lot of passion. Germany was lucky as well. They defeated a weak Poland, lost against Croatia and barely defeated Austria however their only great performence was against Portugal 3:2. Turkey played better in the SF but Germany was lucky because of Rüstüs faults. Other than that it was a great Euro!
8:58 Classic Wesley Sneijder stuff! Still very unbelievable that despite always having a team full of qualities, Netherlands are yet to win a World Cup!
17:12 this Dutch team was full of superstars, but the russians just made fool out of them. Never seen anything comparable before or since in an international football tournament

For me Spain was the strongest team in history, an integrated team from goalkeeper to attack !!

Russia under Guus Hiddink was great.
Russia is always great
@@snova_kino Красава!
Russia under Hiddink didn't make it to the 1/8 finale in WC 2014, Russia under Cherchesov made it to the 1/4 finale of WC 2018. See the difference. Russian national football team changed a lot.
But they didn't qualifiy for the 2010 wc under his guidance.
@@aivarnurgaliyev2698 2014 was Capello. Not Hiddink.
back when robben and sneijder had hair. that's how you know how long ago this was.
back when real madrid had many dutch players
The amazing friendship between Fernando Torres and David Villa....love it
I remember the Euro 2008. I was twelve years old. Netherlands beat both World Cup finalists in the group stage like it was nothing. Then they lost to Russia under Dutch coach Guus Huddink. I still can't believe it, lmao
I didn't see any of the matches France and Italy played except for those against the Netherlands. However, seeing that they both drew against Romania makes me think they were past their top of two years earlier. At the same time the Netherlands were not at their top, but coming back after a period with bad to average results (not qualified for WC 2002, semi-final in EC 2004 but not convincingly, round of 16 in WC 2006 (the notorious match against Portugal)). In fact the trend continued: in the 2010 world cup both France and Italy were disastrous (both ended last in their groups), while the Netherlands played the final. What I am trying to say is that in spite of convincingly beating France and Italy the Dutch were maybe not as good as we thought in that tournament, since France and Italy were in decline. That makes it altogether easier to understand how the Netherlands lost against a good team with an inspiring coach who was happy to accept the underdog position.
What a tournament ? unforgettable ...
Turkey's national team matches still on my mind
10:18〜
All of them in J-League (Japanese football league)...!!!
UNBELIEVABLE
13 years ago. wow still remember. was a 12 year old kid. I remember the Turkey vs Croatia game. I was rooting for Turkey and it was the last moments of the game my father stood up and went to sleep and i told my father that i am gonna stay till the end and miracle happened... Turkey scored in the very last moment of the game. back then evertyhing was good....... good childhood memories.. btw no one dominated football at that time playerwise... it was fun to watch football at that time. it feels like football has changed.. i do not know how it changed but it surely changed a lot. the golden era of football from 2002-2008.
And some years before 2002 as well, remember the world cup in 1998 with a large amount of great players and memorable matches.
1:13 Commentator - "Perfect stage for player in his prime". 11 years later and CR7 is still in his prime. Unbelievable!!!
7:27 ゴール集なので無いと思ってたけどあった。この大会で一番印象に残っている。この時のルーマニアも強かったなぁ。
改めて投稿者のセンスの良さに脱帽。楽しみにしてるのでちょくちょくアップお願いします。
This was probably the best tournament I have seen. So many stacked teams and wonderful attacking football.
David Villa literally unstoppable in thjs tournament, what a player.
This is the most beautiful EURO i've seen:
Great Teams
Beautiful Uniforms
Lovely Football
And the best team won
This remindes me when i play
PES 2009 and PES 2010
watching this euro2008 as 10 year old Turkish boy was amazing. it showed me at a young age that anything is possible in football. we were 2-0 down in 75min against the Czech Republic and turned it around to then one up that performance and beat Croatia by penalties after conceding a goal in the 119th min and scoring in the 120th. to this day my fondest memory regarding football.

Türkiye ile maç yapanların son düdüğe kadar sevinemedikleri bir turnuvaydı.
David Villa in 2008 = Aguero + Suarez
Injury held him back what a shame
What about 2010 WC
なんか懐かしいメンツが多い...引退した人や今はすっかり聞かなくなった人まで。感慨深い
Whenever one says euro 2008 everyone remembers turkey
I think of Villa
@8dzenja6 No I remember Catalonia
Only in Turkey, the rest remembers Spain
The reason you r from Turkey
@@vascoespañol even in the comments of this video everybody talking about Turkey lol. Everybody remember our 2008 run.
Turkey played great tournament 🇹🇷🇹🇷💪
Not sure if this is true or not but here's a story I remember hearing at the time. After Turkey's defeat against Portugal in the first game, Turkey's coach called the players' mothers and apparently, the mothers yelled at them because of their poor performance. From that moment onward Turkey was phenomenal.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Turkey's game against Germany was even brighter in retrospective because Turkey was missing several players due to injury and cards.
its not true
@@perfectmanhehehe8115 Its true lol you weak
8 players could not play on the last game.
Guys guys guys, im from Turkey. We was so good in this tournament. We are everytime came to back also havent chance in semi final. If we have little chance, i know we will be champion. Im so proud 🇹🇷
Spain would of demoulished turkey if they faced each other.
Herşeyden Turkey was excellent team at euro 08
Looking at this in 2019 in they say Ronaldo was in his prime 2008. Longest prime of all time
2008 was his prime as a footballer
This is the best international tournament I’ve had the privilege of watching in my lifetime, goals galore. Loved euro 2008
Omg Turkey was actually a good team.
Lmao France terrible
And Spain.. The team haters love in secret
Haha world cup 2010 was even worse for France
turkey was ok, but how good was Croatia, they were above england and russia in their group, then they rocked eurogroup with germany, and only some turkey equalizer goal that came out of nowhere stopped Croatia from semifinal,final,winning?
@@alt4080 mmmmm debatable
@@artillery1393 Didn't Croatia beat Turkey 3 - 0 in their next match after EURO 2008? In Istanbul?
@@artillery1393 no one says never haha.
arshavin and villa.. i loved these players they were amazing
TURKEY
今思うとドイツ、オーストリア、ポーランドと50年前には信じられないような組み合わせだったんだな…
Love how they called Ronaldo in his prime in this video. 11 years later and I think he might be out of it🐐
My favorite tournament , it was my first Euro .
Mine too :)
Such a special tournament for me, maybe because it was my first one that I watched fully and my team was great
17:17 - "Я же сказал, что ему нужен ещё один момент! И он его забил!"
17:33 - "Ну и что, что забил, а время ещё будет у нас!"
17:46 - "Я щас закончу вообще всё!"
18:05 - "Аршавин с мячом, ставит корпус... До свидания!!! До свидания!!! Россия в полуфинале!"
спасибр брат))
Turkey played with a lot of heart and passion and i loved it. But Russia played very attractive and intelligent football. What they did to Netherlands was utter murder. It's only logical that Spain defeated them twice
Turkey vs Czech Republic was the most iconic match of this tournament
Can you do 2012 aswell?
Sidste 5 minutter af I hope he can
What a terrific player he was! Micheal Ballack.
thanks very much just piece of art one of the most amazing euros ever and totally deserved title for Spain
That was the tournament the teams couldnt celebrate against Turkey until last wistle.
good old day for us, i miss euro2008 but after 12 years i hope we will come back for euro 2020 stronger than euro 2016
David villa was a beast. The Spain squad began their dominance during this euros
個人的にはフランス戦のファンニステルローイのルーレットでパスしたところがずっと頭に残ってる
懐かしいなあ
この大会、イタリアとオランダのスタイル逆じゃね？って試合も最高に面白かった
Best Euro ever.
I watched every game from that Tournament and my opinion is that Spain,Croatia,Russia and the Netherlands were the best Teams at that Euro. Spain was untouchable und played beautiful football. The game against Italy in the QF was the only bad game but both teams played very careful. Croatia faced England and Russia in the Qualifiers for that Euro and ended up being the Group Winner defeating England 2x 2:0 and the Legendary 2:3 away win on Wembley and knocked England out. They dominated Russia but both games ended 0:0. They struggled a bit against Austria but outclassed Germany 2:1 and Turkey. However their best player Eduardo at that time was injured. Croatia dominated Turkey even hit the bar and missed a lot of chances then they scored the goal in 119th minute but received the equalizer in the 122 minute and lost on penalties. Hardest loss in Croatian History and absolutely unlucky. Russia as i said tied with Croatia and also defeated England 2:1 during the qualifying. Then they destroyed Netherlands 3:1 and this Netherlands destroyed World Cup Winner Italy 3:0 und World Cup runner up France 4:1! Insane Euro!.
Turkeys run was incredible but they had more luck instead of skill. Lost against Portugal, barely defeated Switzerland in the last minutes, Cech made 2 incredible mistakes and gave Turkey the ticket for the Quarterfinales. In the QF Turkey was outclassed by Croatia and they had their second shot on goal in the 122 minute which was lucky again and helped them win the penalties. However they had to play without a lot of First 11 Players but the first time in that tournament Turkey played great football it was against Germany however it was rüstüs fault that germany won. Still Turkey played with a lot of passion.
Germany was lucky as well. They defeated a weak Poland, lost against Croatia and barely defeated Austria however their only great performence was against Portugal 3:2. Turkey played better in the SF but Germany was lucky because of Rüstüs faults.
Other than that it was a great Euro!
Turkey was a dark horse in this tournament
Thank you for putting lots of hard work in this video!
Lehmann hahaha the funniest goalkeeper you could ever watch
8:58 Classic Wesley Sneijder stuff! Still very unbelievable that despite always having a team full of qualities, Netherlands are yet to win a World Cup!
What a team Spain had. Prime Xavi,Fabregas,Iniesta,Villa,Torres,Puyol,Casillas... Legends
16:28 THE BEST GOAL FROM THE FEELING SEMIIIIIHHH SEMIHHHHH SEMIHHHH listen to this goal from turkish speakers😂
17:12 this Dutch team was full of superstars, but the russians just made fool out of them. Never seen anything comparable before or since in an international football tournament
Commentator at 16:17 "It's Ivan Klasnic who sends Croatia SURELY into the semi-finals of European Championship. Just after some seconds Semih Şentürk scores for Turkey like "What did you say bitch ?" and Fatih Terim's Turkey goes into the semi-finals of Euro 2008. One of the best dramas in football history so far
