@@messigreen6812I'm 1991. I always used to skip the interviews in the video and fast forward to the football highlights, but now I find the interviews really interesting 😄 the passage of time I suppose
Context: they'd failed to qualify for WC '94, hadn't had to qualify at all for Euro '96 and were in a very tough WC qualifying group which went down to the last game: this one. England players were equally delirious when they qualified in the last game, with the last kick, for WC 2002. Beckham free kick and all that.
It was a great performance - remember watching it. Unlucky side and decent side last England side I really identified with and cared about . Could have been a deserving winning side.
I had this tape back in the day Think I got it from ASDA Thank heavens that Jonathon Pearce toned down his commentary The way he was going on in that poland match you could be mistaken for thinking Sir Killalott was about to turn up
Been an italian fan of England since late 1977,;i lt was a " From hell to heaven in a space of 8 months or so. From being told off from italian friends and foes, to tell THEM.OFF AND WINNING THE GROUP! SO MUCH LIKE NOWDAYS, AFTER EURO 2021 AND FUCKING BONUCCI MOCKING US! 6 POINTS UP! AND NO PRESSURE AT ALL! LIFE IS GREAT! FORZA INGHILTERRA!!!( COME ON ENGLAND!) LARRY ITALY!
Some of the first football I ever watched was this tape. Main thing I remember though is the strange GOAL graphics when Sky showed replays. Could be wrong but I recall this tape having a public information film about road safety at the start of it, showing a car hit a motorcycle.
England v Moldova taking over from Italy after having lost home earlier to them was a great result particularly as a Long term England massive fan from Italy like me.
Not really. Gaza wasn't fit and anderton played v well as wing back for england in 98. Le tiss wouldn't be so good as wing back as he struggled to run.
17:00 - how didn't Kinkladze get a penalty? Maybe the replay showed something different, but from what we saw here I don't know how that commentator was so convinced???
Venables drew as many games as he won. Qualified automatically for Euro 96. Won 2 games in normal time at Euro 96. Not better than Hoddle or Sven, in my opinion. Oh, and he resigned after the FA understandably wanted to judge him in competitive matches and not just the 18 friendlies he managed.
I drove from London to Rome to watch that game with my 3 mates , stayed in a hotel next to some apartments not too far from the stadium, the room had a roof garden . We was outside singing and doing the conga all night long ! Woke up drove back to London , was well over a 1000 miles . I think we thought we was in the Italian job , great Memories, walking back to hotel was very precarious lots of trouble from locals attacking the English !
Having watched the absolute footballing dross that was Euro 2024 I yearn for these days where football was an exciting attacking spectacle not just a tactical, attritional chess game with all the joy taken out of it. I’m not just talking about England, although we were one of the worst offenders, but the whole thing was just boring.
By summer of 1998 Gazza was in terrible shape, in the friendlies against Saudi, Morocco and Belgium he was very poor. Glenn gave him until the last possible moment to get in shape, and was really generous considering he was playing Division 1 with Middlesborough, not even in the Premier League but he didn't. And never did again sadly.
Ferdinand so bang avera ge. That finish when thru late on at home to Poland. Always the mark of a nothing player when that's the best u can do in that situation
The journalist in this sums up the insularity and naivety of Uk press for 58 years. Thinking England were better than they were. England have NEVER destroyed a world class team in finals of a tournament, incl Holland in 96. List all their victories and its not impressive. Finally, most of England is waking up to the fact that they have either lacked the technical players, the mental winning mentality or the right manager. And the 3 failings have cost them everything. Look at Eng line up in 2004 v France. Its a dream in every position, with a good manager. So what happened...mental break down.
Not a very good manager in 2004 unfortunately. The players are definitely there, the managers have often been well below par probably because the best don't want away from club management.
Can't blame one player for the loss against that quality Italian team. I'm sure if played against teams like Georgia, he would have banged the goals in.
Not picking Gazza is like Argentina not picking Maradonna and it's ridiculous but then you think it was Scholes instead and you understand a bit but really should of been Ince who was dropped! Ince was a work horse but not a player like Gazza or Scholes
@@16ozClawHammer woooooooooooooooooow 2 league cups what a dog shit player and manager can't wait for it to be gone. i may even start watching the shit over paid bums again then

I remember buying this on video from Asda for £1 after the World Cup. I watched it that many times that the tape wore out.
Me too!
RUclips is like some time machine, something that i would have never watched or known about is here, fascinating
Brilliant! i can't believe this is finally uploaded. Thank you so much!
agree
Yeah it’s great to see it again. Full marks to the uploader 👍
Look how happy they were to qualify, how much it genuinely meant to them. I feel a lot of that sincerity is lost in today's football.

These days they’re called losers for getting to two Euro finals. Then they were buzzing even though they nearly didn’t even qualify for the World Cup.
@@sharkasattack7794 Yeah, good point.
People say 0-0 must have been shite. The 0-0 with Italy is still one of the best games ever
Rome was like rorkes drift...
That sitter Vieri missed at the end 😮
This is right up there with the most memorable England moments.
It was a great performance - remember watching it.

I had this on vhs tape as a kid, god makes Me feel old.
As a Northen Italian but i,m Fan of Nottingham Forest since 1981/82 season and England White Lions of course❤I know is strange but it so ❤!!
I had this tape back in the day
Think I got it from ASDA
Thank heavens that Jonathon Pearce toned down his commentary
The way he was going on in that poland match you could be mistaken for thinking Sir Killalott was about to turn up
Or Sir Mixalot, it's the right era
The Irony of Gazza hanging out of Hoddle at the final whistle , little did he know that he had just played his last competitive game .
Why?
@@ahmedjjo6774 He wasn't selected for the 98 WC , and I don't think he played for England again .
BIG mistake that.

My word, is that Jonathan Pearce on comms for Five? Talk about being over the top. 39:39
Channel 5's coverage was laughable
I thought he was dreadful now, I forgot how bad he was earlier on. Absolutely rank.
@@tomboz777😂😂😂 he still is bloody dreadful.

To take the likes of Merson and Anderton over Gazza and le Tiss was madness looking back.
Not really. Gaza wasn't fit and anderton played v well as wing back for england in 98. Le tiss wouldn't be so good as wing back as he struggled to run.
Gazza celebrating, unaware he wasn't going to go to France.
He never should have gone especially after his alleged wife beating 17:40.
England played some good football under Hoddle imo
Wish Wrighty and Gazza were in the World Cup squad.
Wright was
Wright got injured not long before the tournament.
Good memories got this on video from Asda

Why do England often play Poland in qualifying?
venables was greatest english national team manager with ramsey was so strange why they didnt go on with him
Venables was underrated. He managed England so well at Euro 96 (the one that really got away😩).
Venables drew as many games as he won. Qualified automatically for Euro 96. Won 2 games in normal time at Euro 96. Not better than Hoddle or Sven, in my opinion. Oh, and he resigned after the FA understandably wanted to judge him in competitive matches and not just the 18 friendlies he managed.
Was that ALLY McCoist on coms back then.

@@CheesestringXX thanks.
I wonder if they were singing Its coming home already back in 98
That song started in 96
Yet he left 3 of our best players at home!!
I drove from London to Rome to watch that game with my 3 mates , stayed in a hotel next to some apartments not too far from the stadium, the room had a roof garden .

Watching this back now - how does Hoddle leave Gazza at home that summer is still such a mystery
Overweight
Because Hoddle has stated, he wasn't fit and wouldn't have been available until at least the semi-finals
By summer of 1998 Gazza was in terrible shape, in the friendlies against Saudi, Morocco and Belgium he was very poor. Glenn gave him until the last possible moment to get in shape, and was really generous considering he was playing Division 1 with Middlesborough, not even in the Premier League but he didn't.

Dave in trackies, G Nev's boy band curtains...it really is the mid- nineties isn't it
😊😊
Poland away always tough...katowice on a wet wednesday night never easy...
Hodle Terlalu moralis tidak menyertakan Gazza
Still can’t believe Hoddle didn’t take Gascoigne
The old Wembley was magic not like the soulless new one .
If only Glenn had of picked Gazza for the finals, what could have been ;(
Gazza and Wrighty didn't play at the WC 😢
If only England would have played like that at the Euros. Brilliant interplay and excellent forward play. But we had Southgate so no chance😩
Ferdinand so bang avera ge. That finish when thru late on at home to Poland. Always the mark of a nothing player when that's the best u can do in that situation

The suit is annoying, who is he? Disrespecting Le Tissier like that.
Matthew Le Tissier is legend
Cheeky sod 🇬🇧
Le Tissier? Good against poor English defenders; no pace, no discipline; a liability at intermission level.
Horrid person, thick as mince as well.
Can't blame one player for the loss against that quality Italian team. I'm sure if played against teams like Georgia, he would have banged the goals in.
Le tissier was a crap player really,just got great goals every now and then

Hoodle was jealous of gazza. That was obvious.
Hoddle has stated, Gascoigne wouldn't of been available until the semi finals
Then Hoddle dumped Gascoigne & Wright. Awful judgement and man management.
The Wright thing was pathetic. Obviously purely the Arsenal Spurs thing
southgate is greater
And just like in Germany this year another failure! ABE

Fair enough if you are ABE but why seek out a 26 year old campaign review if you don’t like them.
