This was a key match in the group. I remember that the coach of the Czech Republic changed badly. The great playing Plasil went down and in his place went the faulting Kadlec. The 2: 2 goal came after a huge mistake by the Cech, which was very unlucky. But the third goal from Nihat was great and Turkey deservedly advanced.

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
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.
Schnipp08 he said it as a compliment lmao . Germany is known for consistency and always being at the top . So him saying germany is germany is a compliment
@@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.
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.
Croatia was better whole game but referee as usual. Croatia scored goal in 119th min. There was a foul on turkey side in 121th min. Croatian coach asked for substitute for time to finish but 4th referee told him "Its over, no substitute". Main referee let another 10 seconds to pass and Turkey scored goal. Had there been substitute, Turkey would never pass Croatia. Even commentator here says, "Croatia still wants to make substitution, referee wont allow it" Clearly robbed by incompetent 4th referee. Wouldn't be the first or last time. Croatia had been robbed so many times in big tournaments - vs Germany Euro 96, vs Turkey Euro 2008, vs Brazil World Cup 2014, vs France in finals, etc, etc

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
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 🇹🇷
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.
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.
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.
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
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!"

24 year old Fernando Torres. Now he has retired, damn I am getting old...
That duet with villa 🔥🔥
Yeap we have gotten old 😬
Euro 2008, The Sole tournament that needed VAR lol
The English whinging after Lampard's goal vs Germany in WC 2010 was ruled out is the primary reason why we have goal-line tech and VAR now.

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.
1:11 Ronaldo is having a prime since 11 years 😂😂
Ronaldo is the GOAT
@@Jordanpurpl333 nope

For me Spain was the strongest team in history, an integrated team from goalkeeper to attack !!
This is the best international tournament I’ve had the privilege of watching in my lifetime, goals galore. Loved euro 2008
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.
The best part of this video: Buffon-ITALY vs Casillas-SPAIN on penalties. Legend
10:18〜
All of them in J-League (Japanese football league)...!!!
UNBELIEVABLE
The amazing friendship between Fernando Torres and David Villa....love it
Spain in their prime. Winners of: euro cup 2008, World Cup 2010 and euro cup 2012
Granny’s Got A Gun! Everything started with 7-1 (Im not a hater)
Torres 🔥

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。
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
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
This was probably the best tournament I have seen. So many stacked teams and wonderful attacking football.
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
OMG PERFECT PERFOMANCE TURKEY🇹🇷
The most entertaining Euro up to date imo.
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 🇹🇷

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.
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.
Thank you for putting lots of hard work in this video!
Turkey was something else in this tournament
well created video. I never watched this tournament live but it's amazing watching back at great players and great performances.
thanks very much just piece of art one of the most amazing euros ever and totally deserved title for Spain
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.
Love how they called Ronaldo in his prime in this video. 11 years later and I think he might be out of it🐐
nice memories.. thx for upload.
Superb video. All the touching moments are also included
16:20
Announcer:CROATIA IS GOING TO SEMI’S
Semih Senturk:Hold my football
Semih is like "hold my balls"
Roland Deschain yea :D
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
The best Euro , which I ever watched
so happy this popped up in my recommended! this was such an excellent tournament to watch as a 7 year old
arshavin and villa.. i loved these players they were amazing
Such a special tournament for me, maybe because it was my first one that I watched fully and my team was great
Nostalgia.
Thanks for sharing and greetings from Spain.
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
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?

David villa was a beast. The Spain squad began their dominance during this euros
Best euro ive ever watched
When football was still beautiful and entertaining and that Netherlands squad 🔥
David Villa in 2008 = Aguero + Suarez
Injury held him back what a shame
What about 2010 WC
Many thanks for these great uploads - in English !!
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!
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
@@diegoapalategui579 even in the comments of this video everybody talking about Turkey lol. Everybody remember our 2008 run.
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
What a team Spain had. Prime Xavi,Fabregas,Iniesta,Villa,Torres,Puyol,Casillas... Legends
That Torres-Villa duet too 🔥🔥👍
What a tournament ? unforgettable ...
Turkey's national team matches still on my mind
Türkiye ile maç yapanların son düdüğe kadar sevinemedikleri bir turnuvaydı.
Turkey vs Czech Republic was the most iconic match of this tournament
