Im from Brazil. This game was 1 day before my 16yo bday... good times.. I really like Croatia, many ppl here like it too. Modric is probably my moms favorite player. Netherlands and Croatia are two teams that need to win a cup soon. I Wish you guys had won over France.
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.
@@mariovesligaj4008 They would've had a great chance and could've have played the final against Spain. Croatia almost beat Turkey (and really should've done) and would've played Germany in the semi finals. Croatia already proved they could beat Germany in the group stage, so there was no reason to think they couldn't do it again. With Eduardo they would've had a great chance of reaching the final for sure.
My uncle, an American, was in the crowd that night. He told me it was the most electric atmosphere he’d ever experienced at a sporting event. He also noted that the frustration amongst the English at the final whistle was palpable and that many acknowledged they were simply outclassed by the Croatians. This was a game for the ages.
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.
@@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
Jako dobra ekipa bola, sviđa mi se što su u špici bila dva odlična igrača, jedan brzi Olic, a drugi Eduardo tehničar, a to je uvijek dobra kombinacija, imaš brzinu i tehniku u napadu! Baš je moćan bio napad kao i ostatak ekipe!
@@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...
@@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.
There’s something quite cowardly about the way McClaren just trudged back into the tunnel after the full time whistle, almost as if he’s forcing the players to take all the blame. Southgate may not be everyone’s cuppa but at least he wouldn’t do that.
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.
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
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.
Beckham's assist is just ridiculous, he also got the unwanted touch from the plant foot. Superb reaction by Crouch too. One of the unforgettable games, especially being a Croat. Good luck in the Final on Sunday!

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.

Watched it - was a great match. Modrić like a time traveler - guess no one else is still playing today.
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
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.
I remember watching this in an irish pub in Madrid, I was the only croatian there, I was jumping up and down when Petrić scored for 3-2...and some english lads turned and wanted to punch me, but fortunately a security guy was already close and he put himself between me and them...the english screamed "we are waiting for you outside"....I stayed in until 3am, they left fortunately...haha
I came to this video just because I heard in “This is Football” podcast, that Micah Richards blamed Scott Carson for him not qualifying for Euro 08 (and 1.5m pounds bonus). True, he was at fault for first goal, but to be fair, he had few saves as well. And Croatia played England off the park. So it’s well deserved.. and Micah as defender was partly responsible for the loss! 😅
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
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".
@@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.
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.

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. Also some shits in hotel etc. And that was it. From going on easy game, England got fucked for talking 2 much shit. That's why we will always remember this game. Not bcs of result... It ment nothing to us. Josip Šimunić Robert Kovač Niko Kovač Luka Modrić Niko Kranjčar Ivica Olić Eduardo Da Silva Mladen Petrić...... Sure... That's a team u want to talk shit against... Good luck.

My American uncle was in the crowd that night. He always said that it was one of the few times he was scared for his life at a sporting event. The English fans went nuts after this loss.

@@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.

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.
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

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
Croatia helped Russia to get qualified while England was eliminated. Russian oligarchs bought Croatian players most expensive cars back in time.
Russians clearly loved this match. A bit of memory for them because it gave Russia the chance to shine.
what a game...2007&2018 W.C...go Cro!!
That England back line was so bad. Richards, Campbell, lescott, Bridge.
Where was Neville, Terry, ferdinand, carragher, Cole?
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.
@@jitterbugbhoy All had enough energy and fitness to play for their club 3 days later after this game.
I think terry and ferdinand were both injured or one injured, one susspenden.
Please, remove Carragher's name from that list asap
Kako smo lijepo igrali onda napadacki . Gledam ovo nakon debakla Dalica na euru 2024
I remember watching this in an irish pub in Madrid, I was the only croatian there, I was jumping up and down when Petrić scored for 3-2...and some english lads turned and wanted to punch me, but fortunately a security guy was already close and he put himself between me and them...the english screamed "we are waiting for you outside"....I stayed in until 3am, they left fortunately...haha
Я почти ночь не спал после этого матча! Кому то дорога на Евро, а кому то дома сидеть!)
I’m sure you didn’t sleep when Croatia kicked you at in the quarterfinal 😊
Netherlands 1-3 Russia - EURO 2008, 21 Jun Quarter-finals😉
I came to this video just because I heard in “This is Football” podcast, that Micah Richards blamed Scott Carson for him not qualifying for Euro 08 (and 1.5m pounds bonus).
True, he was at fault for first goal, but to be fair, he had few saves as well.
And Croatia played England off the park. So it’s well deserved.. and Micah as defender was partly responsible for the loss! 😅
"unless Andorra scores against Russia in next 3 minutes".... U KNOW U FUCKED UP BIG TIME WHEN THAT'S YOUR LAST HOPE
You ain’t gonna believe this Mike
Laura Woods has sexy feet
That Beckham cross was crazy! Great take by Crouch too 👌
5:28 that pass slices, the ball goes onward so brilliantly perfect towards it's target. A chance, a goal.
The absolute state of the pitch
Imagine we had Srna on one side and Perišić on other side. And Eduardo as striker. Worlds champions for sure.
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
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
Wales and Northern Ireland are countries. Have been for 1000 years. U ignoramus
hussein_suleiman - Spamming your comment does not somehow make it seem any less stupid.
Wales and N Ireland have always had their owns teams, obviously.
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".
Erm....England is also a subdivision, kind of a weird video to make this kind of comment on.
Croatian streets will never forget how tough was Tottenham squad with Bent,Lennon and Modrić on that PS2 Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
This is not the first time that English goalkeeper makes crucial mistakes. Remember Croatia - England 2-0
5:29 England....you had 30 year old David Beckham in his prime and even HE couldnt save you. it was destiny that you werent going to euro 2008
Beckham was in his prime around 2003, when he joined Real Madrid. By 30 he was about to join LA Galaxy!
Wasn't even close to his prime you sausage
@@paddyanglais91So much in his prime he picked up 1 league title in 4 years in a two horse race.
@@hen5555 okay, so by that logic let's just invalidate Zidane, Figo and R9 all the same 😅
Came here after our U21 Euros win yesterday. Seeing how abysmal things were here just shows how far our entire system has come from the top down.
@@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.
@@useryt205Hahah really I remember somebody crying 2018 and 2022 when we kicked you out in the 18 and the frenchies in the 22.
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😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@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.
Modric is still world. Any of the so called golden generation wouldn't lace his boots
I was heartbroken that night. Still, I’d have this football any day over the crap that’s on TV now. Gone are the days where players have any passion.
Yeah, me too mate, I miss this wilder kind of football. Cheers from Croatia
Game’s gone 🤓☝️
This aged well. Croatia still beating England in important games
Petric the best russian player in history
Love my national team (repka), when life gets you - some things will always cheer you up. 🥰 All the best to "Wally with the brolly"😎
Croatia somehow always F England,crazy this match was like almost 20years ago😮
Really? Check England vs Croatia, Euro 2004
England vs Croatia 2010 world cup qualifiers
Croatia should have scored at least 5 goals . Great game by Croatia . They destroyed english defence .
What Owen said about Croatia before the game came back to haunt him..
Listen to that commentary and compare it to "current era"
eduardo 👑👑
Still an all-time great win for Croatia. Easily the best victory before the 2018 WC run (coincidentially punctuated by the semifinal win over ENG).
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. 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. Until we meet again...
It was painful at the time as an Englishman but I wanted Croatia to win in the final in 2018@@vanjahruska5661
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. Also some shits in hotel etc.
And that was it. From going on easy game, England got fucked for talking 2 much shit.
That's why we will always remember this game. Not bcs of result... It ment nothing to us.
Josip Šimunić Robert Kovač Niko Kovač Luka Modrić Niko Kranjčar Ivica Olić Eduardo Da Silva Mladen Petrić...... Sure... That's a team u want to talk shit against... Good luck.
Petrić goal ❤
That assist from beckham wow
10 from 10. And Eduardo also.
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
My American uncle was in the crowd that night. He always said that it was one of the few times he was scared for his life at a sporting event. The English fans went nuts after this loss.
Always good to see England knocked out of competitions 😂
David beckham came off the bench and was one of the best players. Gerrad kept pushing but the rest seem to show up assuming they would win.
Watching this after the Croatia's shameful and cowardly performance at the EURO 2024. This is the fighting spirit of Croatia. My favourite match. Dalic, you looser, just go!
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.
Wow the graphics have aged from 2007
Loved Petric ever since
Wally with the brolly
Back when getting beaten by Croatia would've been deemed an "embaresement."
Wally with the brolley 😂
The softest penalty I've ever seen
Olić No Look gol. Hahhaha😂
And you are lucky we didn't put 7 goals
Imagine if old Yugoslavia is together as before.... (Just about 15mil people)
24 mil. (War off)
@@MD-ih3nx I meant nowadays
i will alwys remebebr thaht petric goal as one of the best childhood memories
Bili na ovoj tekmi.
Eduardo, Kranjčar, Modrić i Olić nezaboravni te večeri.
Empa - p.u.m. brate i nikad te nećemo zaboraviti, nezaboravan dan prije tekme, poslije, thanx

Big Meeks bursting on the scene 🙄 tbh the goal that made it 2-0 would have been offside if it went to VAR
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
6:14 beckham with number 17?
Croatia the best ❤❤
What a match
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.
Guess who kicked them out of 2010 world cup qualification
As someone who can't stand the English national team this was brilliant
No team would have been awarded this position other than England.
How the f was that penalty allowed? Crouch and Defoe were clearly over the line before Lampard kicked it.
That dive for pen was shamful, Croatia head and shoulders better, Beckham always quality though, perfect cross.
He pulled his shirt, definite foul.
Eduardo was such a goat then after "that moment"
Bio sam na ovoj utakmici.
2004:🇸🇪🤝🇩🇰🤜🇮🇹
2007:🇭🇷🤝🇷🇺🤜🏴
The English goalkeeper curse struck again that night
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
Prime Eduardo just different...
