I am italian. I remember perfectly that day, the tension, the feeling, the hope, the defeat. Somehow this song fits all of these perfectly! And it is fun too!
It's still a parody, making a Sabaton-style song about a football match - including all the telltale Sabaton features. Now I just want to see the Sabaton History episode about this ;)
I was in the U.S. Army at the time and stationed on Ft. Davis in Panama. Pretty much the whole company was in the rec room watching the match. Many cases of beer were drunk that day! The Battle of Pasadena is quite possibly the best soccer match I've ever seen! 🍺😎🤘
Great world cup final, with some legendary Italian boots, Paulo Maldini was my favorite defender back then, maybe the greatest left back ever, and Roberto Baggio was magic to watch here, a good Italian team, packed with good players, that could sum up what Italian football is all about,.. and packed in a total Sabaton vibed song, its cool yes.
7:37 A little detail: those "remains" with the soccer ball on top are a reference to "Ciao," the mascot of the Italia 90 World Cup 🥰 (and the spoken voice on the background was from the original 94 commentary)
Simply a fantastic song! It could also have been written by Sabaton, if you ignore the football-theme. Every time I watch the video, I'm amused by Joakim, who looks like he can hardly stay serious. Too funny! 🔥🤘😁 The whole new Nanowar record is just great and a lot of fun. What is presented there in different music styles shows what great musicians Nanowar Of Steel are! And you really have to get the ideas for the lyrics too...
That song immediatly made it on my Sabaton play list 😄I remember the game well, I was in London in a language school with a lot of Italian and Brazilian class mates .... 🤣🤣.. and traveled to Brazil a few weeks later.
Actually during the 90s Italy had a big problem with penalties, as we lost 1990's semifinal against Argentina at the penalty kicks, we lost this final and we lost in 1998's quarterfinals to France (that went to win the title), again at PKs. In Euro 96 we were eliminated in the first round due to a 0-0 with Germany in which Gianfranco Zola missed a penalty kick during the game... The 2000's penalty shootout in the semifinal was probably the end of the "curse" (with the Totti one you mentioned), but only because Netherland was maybe even worse than us at penalties (in that game they missed two penalties in the game and three more at the shootout, also thanks to a great game by our goalkeeper Francesco Toldo)
Penalties, at that time, was about training with limited information (photographs, etc). It was hard to compile information and decide what is the best side and how to kick and decide it in few seconds or less. Today there is internet and people can training watching over and over how they kick/ defend etc. also there is the pressure factor that is 100% emotional - but it is also training. Having a bad history on penalties just increase the pressure on key moments like this.
You're a legend for actually remembering the game so well! As a non-football enjoyer (despite being from football-crazy Germany) I kinda thought they picked a random game without much significance but you taught me the significance of this glorious day! Thank you for the educational reaction :D
Well, Nanowar is Italian, and the song literally says it's the "last fight" of the FIFA world cup. So being about a Fifa world cup where Italy is in the finals is not _that_ random.
Romario played 'till 44. He didn't do much but goals. I do love Paoloooooo Maldini, fucking legend but that time it was romaariooooo and bebeeeetoooo. Mi piacere
hello ! thanks for your great work ! i'm french and in france we have a great parodic metal band called "ultra vomit" (traduce "ultra puke") they ar so funny and they have once the chance ton play in front of our president emmanuel macron ! looking for their sorg "kaamthar" (sounds link ramstein) and "evier metal" cheers bro !
Sabaton's greatest hits in one song

I assume Sabaton needs to play this song during a tour in Italy :)
Still waiting for the Sabaton History Channel episode for this epic fight.

The opening is a twist on the opening of lost battalion.
Thanks for that reaction. I love your reactions! :-*

in the european champions
That song immediatly made it on my Sabaton play list 😄I remember the game well, I was in London in a language school with a lot of Italian and Brazilian class mates .... 🤣🤣.. and traveled to Brazil a few weeks later.
6:30 Totti did the "Cucchiaio" (spoon) in Euro 2000 vs Netherlands.
...And let a Swedens, Joakim from Sabaton , Bronze Medalists in Fifa 1994...Present the song is genious! Swedish football history

What a song! Kick ass funny and factual!
Great Powerful Reaction!
Thank you
finally someone that is not italian and understand what the song is about!
well as a Brazilian I also get what it is about hahah cheers
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks for the explanation of the match itself and who was who, I appreciate the song even more now.
but lets be honest, no one ever brought so much swag and style to football as Edgar Davids ;) loved that guy :D
Look Sabaton -The Art of War
Romario played 'till 44. He didn't do much but goals. I do love Paoloooooo Maldini, fucking legend but that time it was romaariooooo and bebeeeetoooo. Mi piacere
Fantastici ❤!!
Ciao!❤ un saluto da Venezia italy ❤🎉
I was born in 1994! 🤟
I am disappointed that there is no Sabaton History video about this song.
As sequel I want Daejong 2002 and Berlin 2006
Pasadena 1994 is the italian Ground Zero
hot take: on par with Maldini as Libero? Mehmet Scholl, was always a great player for either bayern münchen or the german team.

Eres un crack 🌹👈
In convinced they kidnapped joakim for this
You've got an excellent italian pronounciation
Grazie
My country finish 4th...
If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of before, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold.
It's Maldini not Martini,Paolo Maldini 😂
This man looks like his dad’s name is Chad.
Damn…
You're European...it's FOOTBALL, not soccer! Shame on you!😠😄 Other than that, great reaction! This song is perfection!
idk bro I think only the British really care about that. After all, other countries call it futebol, fussball, etc
Stop calling it soccer!!! 😭😭😭. You did lose one fan because of that, at least.
Ok cool
Please stop calling it soccer.... you are from the civilized part of the globe
