Good heavens: What a terrible tackle by Paul Scholes to start the match. That’s a straight red in any era. It’s shocking that he wasn’t even called for a foul.
Thanks foe uploading ! Great to see Vintage matches Euro 2000 Qualifyings. England's Shearer,Beckham,Scholes,Campbell and Cole and Ljungberg's Sweden's debut
This is not Ljungberg's Sweden debut because he played against England when they met September 1998 in Sweden and that was the game that probably made Wenger get him for Arsenal because he was amazing that game.
Sweden the better side back then, though both nations would be poor at the Euros. England were, as usual, all hype and little else. While Sweden's managers decided to play the worst kind of hoof-ball you could hope not to see in their first 2 group games. They played well against Italy when they went back to a passing game, but it was too little, too late by then.
What they did to Wembley was a crime. At least they had kept the 2 towers. It was definitely a crime against world football and little is said about it.
If they'd have built it somewhere else, then it wouldn't be Wembley. I can sort of understand the clamour for the 'old' wembley. But if you look at the new one, there is still a lot of resemblance of the old one within it. The tunnel with the red carpet and the royal box is still there. Only real differences are the slight capacity increase and the arch. Wembley , old or new , always has been and always will be iconic so I don't really think it's fair to compare all in all 😏
@@nialldavidson197 obviously but I’m okay with it having a different name. The name was never what made it a good stadium. Plus if it’s closer the the centre of London, it’s easier to get to. Last year they had a playoff final at the London Stadium because Wembley was being used for something else, and fans were saying how much easier it was to get to.
@@Tillyard86 maybe so, but regardless of debate of whether the old one could have been kept or not. You've only got to look at a lot of club grounds over the years, and most of them look vastly different now to what they did 30 or 40 or so years ago. So my point is that even if the original ground had been kept, it would probably still look different and eventually had work done to it and increased in capacity compared to a big chunk of years before. But hey ho. I'm probably biased because I've only ever really known 'new' Wembley and only ever been there, and absolutely loved it every time by the way. I'd love to know the real reason as to why they knocked it down instead of just renovating the old site, was it a cost cutting measure?
This was a brilliant English team managed by Kevin Keegan. The best English coach of the 2000s. He should have managed the team in 2002 world cup as well.

Ahhh when England game used to be on sky on Saturday afternoons. Old Wembley. Nostalgia at it finest!

Brilliant performance of the Swedish national anthem. 👍🏻
Nice to see Mjallby, Larsson and Hedman 🍀

Jeez, that would have been a early red card for Scholes nowadays.

0-0 are usually boring matches.
Funny seeing the old Wembley. The new one is great but I wished they had kept the old one, and build the new one somewhere else.

@@sidneylopes-fisio1347 it wasn’t a crime, they just rebuilt it.

Larsen should have buried that chance with that header

He was fired because he made a bad WC qualification. Sven Göran Eriksson came in and won against Germany with 1-5
😂😂😂
They were woeful. So was Keegan. He had little tactical knowledge.
0-0 games 😏
Have seen better matches on my local football grounds.
Notice how Sweden no longer have a team full of blonde haired players. Back when footballers played for the crowd not the money.
Most are still blonde.
