When Ronaldo, Figo and Rui Costa knocked England's golden generation out

- Portugal reached the semi-finals with a 6-5 penalty shoot-out win over England.
David Beckham fired England's first one over, and though Rui Costa missed soon after, keeper Ricardo saved from Darius Vassell then scored the winner himself.
Michael Owen put England ahead after a Costinha error, but Helder Postiga made it 1-1 before Sol Campbell had a 90th- minute goal controversially ruled out.
Rui Costa's extra-time scorcher put the hosts ahead, but Frank Lampard turned sharply and scored to force penalties.
However, the shoot-out went the way of the hosts, leaving England to go out of a major tournament on penalties for the fourth time.
Yet the defeat came after England had made the dream start to their quarter-final in Lisbon.
Not only did England fans commendably respect the Portuguese national anthem, Owen responded to his critics in the most emphatic fashion.
David James launched a massive clearance upfield which Costinha attempted to cut out but contrived to head backwards into the path of Owen.
The England striker displayed all his predatory instincts, allowing the ball to drop before brilliantly flicking the ball past Ricardo with only three minutes gone.
The goal galvanised Owen, who became the first England player to score in four consecutive international tournaments - beating Geoff Hurst's record.
The swiftness of England's opener meant it was unlikely that the game would settle down and Portugal pressed for the equaliser.
Sven-Goran Eriksson's men made life difficult for themselves by giving away possession regularly, with Paul Scholes and Lampard guilty of failing to make the simple pass.
Luis Figo wriggled past Gary Neville in defence and his cross found Cristiano Ronaldo, who saw his shot blocked by a combination of the superb Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell.
Beckham then failed to cut out a pass to Figo, allowing Deco to feed the ball to Maniche who sent a rasping drive goalwards which James expertly tipped over for a corner.
Campbell almost doubled England's advantage on 20 minutes when he headed a Gary Neville cross just over the bar.
England needed to get a grip on proceedings, but they were dealt a blow when Wayne Rooney, their talisman, was forced off midway through the first half after being struck on the foot.
Rooney's mere presence had preoccupied the Portugal defence to such an extent that they were leaving Owen unmarked.
Academy: What is a metatarsal injury?
England's goalscorer twice went close to adding to his tally, first lobbing just over Ricardo and then forcing the goalkeeper into a fine save with a snap shot on the edge of the area.
Vassell replaced Rooney, but it was not England's attack that was giving cause for concern it was their defence.
Time and again they failed to close down Portugal and England were lucky to go into the break with their lead in tact.
Shortly after the interval, Eriksson replaced the ineffective Scholes with Phil Neville to nullify playmaker Deco.
But Portugal continued to pose a threat and Luiz Felipe Scolari brought on the attack-minded Simao in the place of holding midfielder Costinha.
And Simao signalled his intent, whipping in a shot within minutes of entering the fray.
Figo forced an excellent save from James low to his right and won a corner only to be substituted with Postiga coming on in his place.
The Portugal captain sloped off down the tunnel, but Scolari's two substitutions proved inspired as they combined late on to grab the hosts an equaliser.
England's defence failed to clear Simao's initial cross and his second was met by Postiga's head, the ball flying past James.
It was no less than Portugal deserved for the constant second-half pressure.
But back came England and they thought they had won the match with a minute left when Campbell bundled home a Beckham free-kick after Owen had initially struck the crossbar.
However, referee Urs Meier deemed that John Terry had impeded Ricardo and awarded Portugal a free-kick.
Both teams looked tired going into extra time, and England's defence was called into some desperate last-ditch defending to keep Portugal at bay.
The exemplary Cole made a brilliant goalline clearance to deny Portugal, but there was nothing England's defence could do about Portugal's second.
Costa fired an inexorable strike that crashed in off the crossbar to leave James with no chance.
But England simply refused to yield to the hosts and Lampard equalised from close range after Terry had headed down Beckham's corner.
The game went to penalties, which once more proved England's downfall, with Beckham firing over the crossbar after he seemed to lose his footing on the sandy surface.
Goalkeeper Ricardo then stepped forward himself to score the winning spot-kick and send the Portuguese fans wild.
England, meanwhile, were left to reflect on another evening of hurt as their quest for international honours stays unfulfilled.

Unfortunately for England's Golden generation, many other nations had their golden generation during that period. I don't know what it was, I think this was one of the golden eras in football. You can go through top 10 international teams during this period and they were all stacked. Football just isn't the same anymore.
Very true
They weren’t that good, we’re massively overrated just like most English players
@miauw8762 if they are overrated why do they dominate the club game if England won international tournaments they would be considered the best players on the planet regularly but they don't Italy and Germany win tournaments with mediocre players and world class coaches but most of there players do nothing at club level.
those guys were all dominating the cl at the time@@miauw8762
@@miauw8762 If you were to compare them to the current crop, they were still leagues better.
Ricardo was the man that day. He went through the rollercoaster of penalties into almost losing.
Takes his fckin gloves off while prep talking himself into a legendary save and follows up with a goal of his own
As a Portuguese I miss that man. Greatest Portuguese GK ever.
As an English man - I love the Portuguese. Our oldest allies! Good bless you boys!
Stuff of legends
@@AcquiredFormula I'd say Vitor Baía is the greatest portuguese GK to exist but of course opinions differ
perfect penalty he hit.. goalkeeper guessed the side still couldn't defend
Umm, England was strong but Portugal had Rui Costa,Figo, Deco, Maniche, and a young CR7. They had a golden generation too, and they're were locals.
That squad wasnt that strong, Figo was past his prime, CR7 was still in development, rui costa was close to retire, only Deco and maniche we're at their prime at the time, bitnat the same time they had a better management, they could play better than the current squad, Even having less names
England were better than Portugal.
England was stronger but Portugal weren't pushovers as they proved.
@@alibabar864whatever you 0:01 says England lost to Portugal at penalty shoot out that's that's it pow!😂
Since when Deco is local? Lmao
Rui Costa play maker N. 1🇵🇹🇵🇹🙏🏻
How to finish off a endless PK shout-out.
1- Score a panenka under extreme pressure
2- gk takes his gloves out because fuck it
3- saves the PK withitout gloves
4- who needs field players, if he saved PK withitout gloves let him take the penalty and win it himself.
Epic
this was also Portugal's golden generation
What a game this was! A lot of respect dor England! I miss this portuguese team
We love you Portuguese. Some of the most exciting players ever produced. Hope we see you again. If it’s in England I’ll host you - come stay with me and drink some beers!
@@forret WOW!
You are willing to accommodate a completely strangers person into your home?
That's crazy of you amigo to entertain such a risky and quiet dangerous gesture.
You don't know this person's name, background, life history, critical information such as: any criminal records? Any involvement in domestic issues with ex spouses, partners. With family, parents, siblings and relatives and even neighbours?
You don't even know if they are wanted by the authorities!??
Is there a warrant out against them??
Once they enter your home, they may not agree to leave. They could empty your house, whilst you pop out to grab some pizzas and food.
Or decide to change the locks and preventing you access to your was once your home. But, now they are the house owner. And kicked you out.
And the police, cannot physically remove them from the house.
You need to take it to court which can take upto 8 weeks to get a court date.
There is just so many things that can go wrong pal!!
🤯🤯🤯🤯😬😬😬🤷🤷🤷🤷🙆🙆
You totally forgot Part 1 of the Trilogy. Euro 2000, Portugal's 🇵🇹 epic comeback from 2 goals down to beat England 3-2. Best game of the Trilogy. England had a great team but Portugal 🇵🇹 was🔥.
I’ll never forget when Campbell scored that perfectly good goal, fans of that lot up the road cheered the fact that it was him getting his goal disallowed.
We were shite all game though & did the usual sit back at 1-0. Got to say though, Rui Costa was so underrated. Such an elegance about his play, skills & ran at defenders. What a player he was for Fiorentina, Milan & Portugal.
We did forget when you change the semi-final venue in 1966, literally overnight and making us go by train. Karma is a bitch.
A joke comment. Were the rules different? What was the reason?
That perfectly good goal that was scored whilst John Terry held his arm over Ricardo, preventing him from contesting the ball? Take your blinkers off, Terry’s first thought when the ball went in was to look round at the ref not to celebrate the goal. That should tell you everything.
@@joaocalhao4595 All of Englands games were at Wembley, what on earth are you talking about?
@@fiddlecastro1453 The semi final against Potugal was suppose to be in Liverpool and they changed the venue last minute so the Portuguese team had to take a train overnight
England - Portugal was becoming such classic in international football. 2000, 04, 06. All great games that Portugal won with a little luck in each. No other victories were as celebrated here, even fixtures more advanced in the competitions. Defeating our old frenemies has such special taste. Hopefully we meet in Germany this summer.
3:17 she is watching the scoreboard and game at the same time
I remember that game as if it were yesterday. Portugal!!! End up losing to Greece in the final in Lisbon. Crazy Euro for sure.
RUI COSTA ❤❤
I was at this game and my the best atmosphere I’ve ever seen 😊
England must be thoroughly sick of Ricardo, having also saved 3 penalties in 2006.
He took off his gloves, knowing he will win it against Beckham and Co.
They must be sick of greaseballs 24/7. He knew Portugal couldn't beat 10 English players.
This game was insane. I was there.
the best match what a goal from Owen man he was so good. Rui Costa 😍
Everyone was always talking about Beckham but Michael Owen was insane
Michael Owen's period on top was very short. And Beckham's merchandise was on top for a long time. Not fair but it is what it is.
Dude, Beckham played really well in this match except missing the penalty.
Maniche played like he was Lampard or Gerrard, and Lampard and Gerrard played like they were Maniche. 🤣
Ricardo knocked them out that day. Rui costas goal was sensational. I personally feel that Figo was the best player in Europe that season ( he was underrated in 03/04) - he proved it in the semis. But he did not have best game against England that day.
Agreed. Figo was average that day. What a player though.
@@forretfigo peaked in 2000. In 2004 it was Ronaldinho, Henry and shevchenko who were the best.
@@gegenpress1695not entirely true. Yh Figo best season 2000. Better in 1999 and 2001 aswell. But in 03/04 he was the best. Porto won the champ League but Figo destroyed them in the Cl final. IF Zidane was not so crap that season and Raul and Ronaldo could head the ball Real would of won the champ League and league. When Barca met Real - Figo outplayed Dinho that game but he was sent off and then the game changed in the last 10 mins. Valdes denied Figo like 4 times. Barcelona only finished above Real bcos Real self combusted. Dinho and Figo had different roles if Dinho played for Real he would not of scored so many goals imo with R9 upfront. Figo for me was the best in 03/04.
Portugal had the pleasure of knocking this golden generation out a couple of times. Sometimes I think it's why the English media always love to bash on Mourinho and Ronaldo. Sour grapes. It was fool's gold anyway.
It was Englands golden generation but the teams we were up against were better than us lol.
On the evidence of this match : not THAT much better ?
@@Simpleburger1968 yeah but they beat us😂. We wouldn’t have won it.
We'll never know . What we do know is ....there was nothing of any magnitude between them this night ....@@adammac4960
@Simpleburger1968 watch the full 90 mins...Portugal were comfortably the better team
So much elite talent around then so glad i got to see it
Beautiful as usual :)
3:30 the hate in that Portuguese fan 😂😂
figom diego costa, deco , postiga, cr, maniche, ricardo
man that portugal was the best
What golden generation England was a ordinary team never went past the quarterfinals absolute bollocks
You just took out the coolest part ... that he took the gloves out to defend the penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19 years on and this game still hurts me. The way we lost hurts. Beckham penalty was shocking. He puts that in and England go through. Won't blame Vessel as His shot was on target. Ricardo goes the wrong way and He scores. Story of England.
Yeh and don't forget sol Campbell's goal that should of stood. Remember celebrating like mad as a kid only to see it disallowed
Beckham was bending that one into Pluto's orbit
As a Portuguese, the fact we lost to Greece in the final will forever haunt me.
@@AcquiredFormulatell me about it. Should have 2 Euros to our name right now😩
@@front331He was aiming for Chris Waddle's.
3:18 best second ever :) Siiiiiii
Best video ever
This is the first football match I actually remember
I remember watching that game. Mentally England were in a terrible place. I don’t know why? Years of disappointment?
Portugal deserved to win.
England have a better squad now. Bellingham and Kane has to be the nightmare for every country
❤Then when England loses you start excuses,blah blah... blah....England is the definition of arrogance and entitlement when it comes to football.
i was literally a kid riding my bike when Euro2004 took place, i've never seen anything like this again, every house, every door, every window every car had a Portuguese Flag... never ever i saw something again like this not even in Euro2016, this makes me emotional.
I remember watching this live and me and my family were fully crying, Ricardo was our forgotten hero.
Fun facts: Portugal lost the First and last game against Greece in Euro2004, and also Portugal invested massive amounts on building new stadiums, they build a massive stadium for a 3rd division Team (SC Beira mar) from my district (Aveiro) and it was literally abandoned at one point cause the team never had the magnitude to keep it in the first place
3:50 "He stopped in his run up and James did really well" What in THE hell is Motty talking about??
If figo scored the rebound header against france then story would have been different , but unfortunatly that didnt happen 😢
So much information in the description except the date of the match 🤦♂
3:57 look, how proud deco to that young boy
Friend "you are drunk"
"I'm not", meanwhile me at 3:17
Paul possession was our (England) problem. During those years we never had it.
Portugal always knock England out lol 😅
Ricardo, Owen, Lampard were impressive. This wss the best lineup England could offer in their football history since 1966. The lineup was world class but the manager wasn't. They should have appealed to Dalglish as England's manager for this team.
Such a slim margin ....really slim !
'More than a game'.
We lost the rematch 2 years later too smh. No excuses
well, respect to the all of the footballers you mentioned above...But the hero of the game was Ricardo but none of them. Ricardo did knock the whole England
Why Luis Figo, dont shot an Penalty???
Figo was substituted at min 75 of the game. Scolari sent Postiga in. Portugal was losing for 1. Postiga was a forward and Figo a midfielder. Figo didn't react well to the substitution. He was so frustrated with Scolari that he went straight to Portugal's dressing room and didn't watch the rest of the game with the other members of the team.
@@lylyc8315
Hoolyy sh i t 🫣
Extreme story
True but Figo was man of the match in the semis and their best player all tournament. So he redeemed himself
@rohnido9298
You have to be on the pitch. Did you not wonder why the player of the tournament at that stage (Rooney) also didn't take one?? And many other big England players....likewise WC2006.
@@sugs1191no Deco, was the best man in the tournament. But Figo played beatifull, that's fact.
I was there in the stadium sitting next to some Portuguese fans & as we got further into the match one of them casually leaned over to me & said "You know, you have a very good team but your goalkeeper is shit!" Enough said!
More than once we shamed those beefs 😂
Ronaldo did nothing in that game except send off rooney
I was 9 when this happend, I remember I cried and mum had to explain that someone had to lose.
David James: the Alan Rough of English keepers.
Pas d'accord : sur ce match, il n'est responsable sur aucun des buts.
Allan Rough était très bon avec son club, moins avec l'équipe d' Ecosse.
5:02 why he took his gloves off lol
I've always attributed it to some sort of superstition or something of the sort
Eusebio told him to remove the gloves
Cause hes a fucking badass thats why 💪🤣
Cause he's goated, duh.

Did not know, smoking cigarettes were allowed in stadiums in 2004, 2006 ??

As usual Beckham 😂 Owens goal was nice
We were cheated that day too as we were against the Germans and the Argies hand of God my arse!
How darius vessell got picked for this tournament is beyond me.

Respect to Greece but this should've been the euro 2004 final.

Owen's goal was something else
And then Portugal threw it all away in front of a home crowd in the final vs greece. Had to wait 12 years to finally win a trophy
Rui Costa destroyed the team
My man took his gloves off, I forgot that, or blocked it out lol
Name of the commentator ?
Sounds like it was Portugal's golden generation.
Portugal Golden gen was 4 years before, with rui costa and Figo on their prime, in 2004 both we're past their prime with cristiano top young to.be the leader yet and only Deco and maniche at their Best, Ricardo was really inportant as gk top, the rest of the squad, inwouod.say was inferior to.tje current one, butnthe coupdnplay better as a team compared to now
@@diegosotomiranda4107 or maybe football was just better back then.

Adelantate algo! jajajajaajaja 3:54
Why is this video s thing? 😂
But i remember as a kid. The pitch was so bsd thst those who went power saw the pen spot shift snd give way
And then greece won the cup
Which cup this is and when this start?
@@chirnjey705 This was Euro 2004 in Portugal. Portugal went to the final and lost against Greece.
if rooney was fit on that day, England can win Euro 2004.........

Who was the commentator here?
John Motson. Not sure who his co-commentator is... Might be Joe Royle.

Greece's Golden generation was better then both 🥇
Wow
Golden Generation my arse ! Yes we had some very good players, we also ha some overhyped, overrated ones too.

Lol, Romania also shat on England’s “golden generation “

Will always remember this match. The England v Portugal matches were legendary but Portugal were always that bit better.
I still don’t think that ball has come down from that Beckham penalty.
Лучший матч на том Евро! Болел за англичан, но все равно приятно вспомнить.
But also the same year Portugal's golden generation won fuck all
And they lost to Greece in the final.
Like England they didn’t win shit either, had to wait for the goat Eder to make it

Forgot what a nail
biter this game was. Thanks for sharing.
Of course CR7 does his bullshit stutter run up to his pen - close to being disallowed except his left foot was just moving still.
