It's the Qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup, England are playing Germany in Munich - This is probably England's most Memorable match of the 21st century. Enjoy :)
"You know my son ... once we beat Germany 5-1 in munich" "Oh dad ... was it a major tournament?" "It was a qualifier" "So dad ... does that mean that the Germans did not qualify?" "Well son ... actually they qualified anyway and reached the final..."
As a Scot I have to say I was applauding the performance when watching this, especially the last two goals. An outstanding display. The commentator sounds close to tears when he yells "It's five!".
How did this England team not win anything? Owen, Becks, Scholes, Gerrard, Rio, Cole, Seamen.. If only Giggs was English I guess. But this was a lethal team.
Christopher Kanyuka Unfortunately, Neville and Gerrard were injured for the 2002 World Cup; and Beckham was playing with an injury. Had they been fully fit (and Seaman not make a blunder), it's not hard to imagine that they could have beaten Brazil, Turkey and then Germany Euro 2004 was the better opportunity though, with the addition of Rooney at his best, and also Lampard, Terry and King. Rooney's injury against Portgual almost certainly cost us that game; and I think we'd have beaten Netherlands and Greece.
Christopher Kanyuka Because we had englands 2nd best striker Shearer 96 Pen's & France kill us in 2mins of injury time replaced wiv Heskey.. and when we had Rooney in EURO's2004 we lost on Pen's ... WAIT A MINUTE ... :) didn't we win the Continental cup against Italy, France & Brazil.. Ian Wright had a blinder ... but yeah if we had Giggs, Cole, Fowler, Le Tissier let alone a PAUL GASCOIGNE all on form and playing for England we should of been better than the 1990 team.
Spellchec England were the second best team in 2002, but the Brazilians were head and shoulders above everyone else Euro 2004 I agree completely, it's kind of tragic really considering how much the fans believe
6 Liverpool players in the England squad that night. Owen, Heskey, Gerrard, Carragher, Fowler and Barmby!! (and an ex Liverpool player McManaman) Even the German squad had a Liverpool player - Hamann
One of the best nights in my life, 19 years old at the time, we found a pub that was showing it that was empty about an hour before kick off, so me and 10 mates bought 4 pints each expecting it to fill up. It didn't and we had the place to ourselves and went mental!! After the game we went out into the streets and the whole of the town I live in was out going mental. I've never witnessed anything like it before or since. Truly amazing night and I was lucky to be old enough to enjoy it properly!
sorry you what you utter wimp??? england were good? Germany qualified in first place about 6 points ahead of you and needed a last minute goal against Greece to go through. England are a joke and always have been.
This was one of our best England teams. We had quality all over the pitch. People say our team now is the best. But i do not think we have half the world class players we had in this team
I love how everybody is saying “even Heskey scored” even though Heskey was acctually a top class striker and got more than 110 goals in the premier league. Just because he was terrible in the Fifa game where he was 32 and KSI made funny af videos about him doesn’t mean that he was just as bad in his prime. Do some research before commenting
Martin Tyler blatantly had a daft £100 on Emile Heskey scoring in the second half at 12/1 or something. Nobody - not even Heskey himself - gets that excited about scoring haha
A match to be called memorable needs to be decisive on something. A cup, an advance to quarter or semi final against a strong opponent, a basis for future successes, or at least one of the last very good games of a legendary team. The national team of England: a) in WC 1994 did not reach the final stage. b) in Euro 1996 (which took place in England) was not in the final. c) in WC 1998 hs been eliminated in the round of 16. d) in Euro 2000 has been eliminated in group stage. e) in WC 2002 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. f) in Euro 2004 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. g) in WC 2006 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. h) in Euro 2008 did not reach the final stage. As you can see in 15 years England had not a single success. If a preliminary group stage win (with very good performance) against a rival that has 8 major titles is called memorable, this means that England's football level is the same as Romania's.
@@ipsa-uae9050 nope, they aren't. Memorable games do not need to be decisive. You gave your opinion, it isn't a fact. The fact is, this game was over 20 years ago, and I, and many others remember it. Thus, memorable.
Germany got to the World Cup final the year after . Only 2 that started this game started the World Cup final . They were embarrassed by the 5-1 and something had to be done and it was . They pump loads of money in and had a great team by 2010 and won it in 2014 . This was a blessing in disguise ❤
Greatest night of my life! These players had passion, going back and fighting for lost balls. We have a good crop of young players. We will have days like this once again in a few years!
Nicky Barmby is one of the most underrated players of his time. Even in this game he runs his socks off all game, sets-up the first goal, moves out of the way of Gerrards shot for the second goal and nobody mentions him.
i remember watching this game and my old man was in the bath shouting to me... what;s the score son.. '0-1 dad'.,,, 90 minutes later. 'what was the final score son? we won 5 fucking 1!!!!!!!
I remember something similar happening to me for the Greece game. I was watching at home with my brother and in the last minute told him I was going for a piss. Little did I know we'd win a free kick and I'd miss probably the most remembered moment in recent England history. It has since been known as "the lucky slash".
Commentator gets most excited and vocal about the Heskey goal lol. Probably couldn't believe that he scored! I remember this game well, great memories!
Also very impressive how this qualifying game is called "payback time" for the semi-finals in 1990 and 1996. Yeah, that is really the same thing ... England's football needs a major overhaul. Like what Germany did after 2004.
You know what is best about this? Besides that being the only thing English fans can watch on youtube without being ashamed by their team, GERMANY MADE IT TO THE FINALS A YEAR LATER. So even when they suck, they do much better any English team does apart from `66.
I remember this hammering :D. I was in France, going home on the coach, checked it on my walkman and heard 5-1, the coach driver thought I was talking nonsense and he turned the radio on and had to apologise, gosh I love that memory.
That's relevant ain't it... I mean England beats Germany 5-1... Heskey scores lol... Brasil eliminates England in 2002 and goes to the final to win the wc vs Germany.., What happened to Liverpool in 2005? Lost to a Brazilian team who couldn't afford to put the ground up right? I bet your heart was racing too in the finals game of the bpl this season as if Liverpool were ever to win a title.
Jimmy Sturridge You obviously know I meant the fifa club world cup you scrub Liverpool are shit just like the rest of the English squad now that's hating, but oh well it's true so why not put it out there
I think you are butt hurt that much that you are obsessed with the words lol and you didn't answer my question about the brazilian shit club teams? Liverpool certainly are not shit... You obviously missed the season i just watched haha! The most entertaining club in the league with the smallest squad and least money cropped with injuries. YNWA!
Watching this is interesting. Look at how the two nations have reversed fortunes. Germany, winning the world cup and packed with young talent who are only going to get better. England, underperforming every tournament with no real sign of turning things around.
After this game Germany pretty much started a fresh and brought all the youngsters in and completely changed everything around. look at them now. we just get knocked out of the group stages with a great team and a fucking awful manager, and he gets told he can stay for another 4 years. woy hodson doesn't deserve to manage any club or national team
The glimmers of hope is the Euro U-17 this year. Not only did we win the final on penalties, Germany lost in the group stage, even Scotland did better.
+Chris Hughesy England have always been a team that at there best can beat anyone. They have always had players which are good enough to compete with the very top teams far more than they have.
And gerrard got even better. That goal on half time, his goal in istanbul, his goal against west ham in the cup final and this guy is still doing it today. He must go down as one of greatest footballers of all time.
Well, this was our truly most memorable moment so far. Plus, Germany got revenge nine years later in 2010, when we had the goal disallowed, and we lost 4:1, our most embarrassing moment, on par with our most recent loss to Iceland :(
Nothing embarrassing about 2010. If Lampard's goal had stood - and disallowing it was the most inept decision in World Cup history along with Maradona's Hand Of God - Germany would have gone in at half-time rattled and wondering how they'd let a two-goal lead slip. England wouldn't have had to chase the game in the second half, leaving themselves open at the back.
+Captain Rhodes Haha, a few months later people were calling that team utter shite. There was some great players in there but the team never performed at all at a major tournament.
I spent a lot of time working in Germany in 2001: on the Monday after the match a German colleague rang me, "my son was sleeping in my lap, so I couldn't get up to turn the TV off ! there was a huge black man in a white shirt with one million candle power of floodlights, and the only people in the stadium who couldn't see him were the German defence" :)
If only England could play like this consistently! They would have bagged a couple of international trophies instead of forever living in nostalgia of the 1966 world cup team.
I always remember this lager advert here in England (a few years before this game), where Jimmy Hill says "I don't believe it" after seeing a mock England 5-0 score against Germany on a scoreboard. What a prediction that was!
owen's finishing was amazing, very talented England team (midfield and attack that is), although it was germany who reached the final next year without having a descent striker as we can see but with a great keeper. I used to like that england team because of owen gerard beckham scholes etc but now there is no one like them unfortunately, who knows maybe kane and alli or the new m.u. babes could reach their level one day
one of the great mysteries in life is the england football team constantly underperforming in major tournaments, even when (unlike nowadays) blessed with great and/or gifted players such as the ones depicted in this video...
My Dad told me when I was watching this live in a pub when I was three, I stood on the pool table and cheered everytime someone scored, even Germany haha.
Very rare to see footage from the Munich Olympic stadium where the camera is installed on this side of the pitch, facing the grandstand. In 99,9 per cent of the broadcasts from this stadium, the camera was installed on the opposite side.
Hey, Ben. Russia's got a great team now (well, they're only 29th in Fifa , but Fifa has Belguim as #2). And they're hosting in 2018. So they're now dangerous as well (and their fans at the game were punks which can be distracting when they're shooting off flairs in the stands)
this England team is amazing, Becks, scholes, Gerrard, Neville, seamen, Campbell, owen and more!! when you think about the players we have had and the team's we've put together it's crazy how we haven't won more but the fact is Germany win when it matters
Its surprising that England haven't had more success at international level until you realise Matt Le Tissier only has 8 caps, Scholes retired early because he was thrown out on the being to accommodate fraudulent Gerrard/Lampard and Hoodle was seen as a "luxury" player ffs, then you realise the problem and that its not a surprise at all. The English set up is garbage and fundamentally wrong pathetic, we have the least number of coaches at grassroats level out of the top european teams, not to mention the culture of shunning small players in favour of big physical presences for the good old "put it in the mixer" football, soccer in this country is doomed I tell ya, DOOOOOOOMED
+stealthiscool Scholes was forced by Fergie to retire early(just like he did with Giggs, Berbatov, Vidic), not playing on the wing. He actually came out back then saying he has no problem playing on the wing.
It is shocking. How this England team never even made a semi final in the 3 tournaments from 2002-2006 is also unbelievable. The only two players you'd probably replace are Heskey and Barmby. Shearer and Owen up front with this lot would almost have been unstoppable.
As a German, we got incredibly lucky with who we faced and England got unlucky, at least in 2002. After 2006 German football started to get into the golden era but back to my point, England probably had a better side than Germany in 2002, they just happened to run into Brazil earlier, while Germany ran into teams like USA and South Korea
They got an unbelievably fortunate route to the final starting with an easy group and then Paraguay in the 2nd round, USA in the quarters and South Korea in the Semis... Fair play to them, you've still got to go out and win but they didn't come up against any real quality until the final.
Again, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining that they got there, but going into the World Cup I would have been happy with a quarterfinal appearance. This team was astoundingly bad, just like in 1982 though managed to make the final
Phil MNAP The thing about German teams is that they've traditionally had an abundance of skill, ability and technique but if you strip all that away there's still an ingrained discipline and workman-like mentality. The 2002 team may have lacked the talented players of previous and subsequent tournaments but they still retained that methodical discipline which was enough to see them through against modest opposition.
John Denver would that be the game where Germany were cruising at 2-0 and then England got one back and then had another only go about 3 feet over the line but somehow wasn't given by the only 2 pairs of eyes in the ground that couldn't see it?
This will always be my favourite England game ever. Cannot believe we beat them 5-1 in their own backyard and yet they still went on the reach the World Cup final less than a year later, madness!
Good point! And they finally had their rubber final against Argentina in 2014 and won. (That game against Brazil showed the world that they could win it all)
poor Brazil, how the mighty has fallen. if they weren't being idiots in 2006 they would have won the WC which makes them 6 times world champion. that alone gave me the chill. Brazil & Germany were two of my favorites. I referred to them as Conqueror and Defender. But Brazil sux ballz, I knew they won't go far after their opening match vs Mexico. If Chile had the confident & experience in WC they would have beat Brazil and played Germany instead. That would have been a better match.
the problem is the shitty manager the players that are no near the level of the 2001 players, what happened to the Beckhams? to the Sholes? to the Gerrards? to the Owens? and thats because english teams rather spend millions in 3 good players than invest in their academies, you got great football prospects but because you never help them to develop they stay like that, no more than promises how you are doing it won't take too long for England to start missing worldcups because other teams are starting to have great players and develop in fact the reason why england will go to the WC in 2014 is because the rediculously easy group the UEFA gave them
Funny that Andy Gray said "lovely cushioned header" describing the setup for Owen's equalizer. He said the same thing about Gerrard's goal against Olympiakos in the CL a few years later.
9:15 This victory in a qualifier is payback time for three defeats in the latter stages of an international tournament. As an England fan, I really enjoyed this result but some perspective is needed. This was a qualifying game for the 2002 World Cup. It's the tournament that matters. How did Germany do in 2002 and how did we do?
Brazil are just as much of a disappointment this time I expected to see gold but felt like I was watching teams I never heard of. Atleast we know what England's problem is we spend too much money and effort on foreign players. Liverpool import kids for god sake. Focus on local youth and build us a true class team not all about their pay grade. Or give £100,000 bonuses for a goal and £100,000 cuts for being a fanny rolling on the floor wasting time.
I love football. I sincerely wish it wasn't becoming full of pussies and divers. I love the sport but have watched it decline since the 90's watching triple somersaults and players like C Ronaldo gaining player of the year awards. :(
To be fair, Liverpool have some fantastic english talents, both established and coming through. Henderson, Sturridge, and Sterling, Ibe, Jerome Sinclair for the future.
I think that England's on-field results as a result of poor management and a squad of overpaid prima donnas is Newcastle United writ large under Ashley. A nation with the richest club competition in the world can't field a squad that has a realistic go at a World Cup semi final, never mind getting to the final and winning. I think the competition to sign world class players having saturated the Premier League with foreign players is part of the problem. Fair enough, sign a star who will get you 25 goals in a season from abroad, and anyone else you feel can get the job done from abroad. But you have to invest in local lads - youth more specifically. And you need to fuck Hodgson off and get someone in who will get them up for a game.
+DancingMedicineMan how many stars does the German jersey have and how many does England? You aren't actually comparing the German side to the English are you??? Tom Petty said even the losers get lucky sometimes. It's been 50 years since the one and only star was put on that jersey and we all know the history of that final right? I'll give England this game but it's certainly something to cherish by the English side because rarely does it happen. It'll take several lifetimes if ever for England to eclipse the endless achievements of the German National Team.
+DancingMedicineMan sounds like you have sour grapes for Germany and that's too bad. I don't recall Germany cheating but I'd like to know how you drew that conclusion? Do you have a team that you support? If you look at the 1966 World Cup you will see the ball never crossed the line but the referee saw differently. That's what happens in international soccer. England got their only star and Germany accepted it and moved on but Germany never forgot it. That's why it's been half a century of Germany beating on England. It sounds to me that you're just angry and reaching because Germany is just is better team and England will never reach the heights the German side has. At least in my lifetime. Please feel free to document your claims here of the Germans cheating in their 4 World Cup victories.
+Jürgen Selders well put! I believe this was a friendly although I suspect England put their strongest first squad on the pitch whilst Germany took it as a scrimmage game for fun.
I remember that day. Somebody said "this is revenge for the last match at the old Wembley Stadium". Well done, England! See you in Paris at the 10th of July :-) Sadly Holland won't be there, so OUR teams have to entertain the world at that evening.
'But Germany were in the World Cup final and England were knocked out in the quarter final.' If Germany had to play Brazil in the quarter final they would've lost as well. Same reason Portugal got to the Euro final- they were on the soft side of the draw.
Franc Mema sry, my fault buddy, i'll delete my comment. i just was too dumb to understand it right... lol btw. they don't talk about the past, they live in the past...
Being English I hate to shit on our parade but this whole obsession with beating the Germans and reminding them about 2 war wins is very sad and pathetic. Germans do not care, they have forgotten this result ever happened and are now number 1 team in the world. We English laugh and mock Scotland for having this anti-English sentiment where they always want to beat us, but we are the same with Germany. It's very sad to see. Time for England to move on and focus on building a winning team!
+Ian Sutton You're right, mate. The Germans just don't care about '66 or this loss anymore, and we constantly bang on about them. They don't care because they have gone on to win many trophies, whereas we have got nothing else to boast about. I know it is mostly just banter, but it is still embarrassing that we keep banging on about events that the Germans barely remember because they have won so much since. I remember seeing a German guy in an interview once say, 'I really wish England would win something again, just so they may shut up about 1966.' This made me feel embarrassed because he was right - we keep harping on about these victories because of our lack of success, and the Germans don't recognise any major rivalry with us in football anymore.
"You know my son ... once we beat Germany 5-1 in munich"
"Oh dad ... was it a major tournament?"
"It was a qualifier"
"So dad ... does that mean that the Germans did not qualify?"
"Well son ... actually they qualified anyway and reached the final..."
+Doofbert Hansen lol
"Did they win the final, dad?"
"No son, but that's not the incredibly laboured point i'm making."
As a Scot I have to say I was applauding the performance when watching this, especially the last two goals. An outstanding display.

Wow, I had forgotten just how good Michael Owen was in his day, not to mention Beckham.
Owen had a complete difference in threat with that pace before his injury.
im actuzlly crying watching this, when will we ever get back to this level
As long as the all boys club of the FA are calling the shots then England will steadily decline.
sorry you what you utter wimp??? england were good? Germany qualified in first place about 6 points ahead of you and needed a last minute goal against Greece to go through. England are a joke and always have been.
geez-a gobble is that comment for me?
indeed it was England never were or will be good. get over it
ooooo mum jokes :D lmao typical little english fanny

Not if you are German.
A match to be called memorable needs to be decisive on something. A cup, an advance to quarter or semi final against a strong opponent, a basis for future successes, or at least one of the last very good games of a legendary team.

b) in Euro 1996 (which took place in England) was not in the final.

Owen scoring in that sprint against Argentina ...... was was one of the most memorable player moments as an England fan.
Greatest night of my life! These players had passion, going back and fighting for lost balls. We have a good crop of young players. We will have days like this once again in a few years!
Look at that, all current Liverpool players at the time proud. Don't know why people joke about Heskey he scored over 100 premier league goals.
Reading all the comments *Grabs popcorn*
This match is one of the reasons the Germans won the Worldcup in 2014.

Am I the only german who cannot stop to watch this over and over again?! :)
It's probably the best English team fielded so not a bad loss, but Heskey getting a goal? Unforgivable! Lol
It was a masterclass in all honesty, something rarely seen from English national sides. We even had the handicap of having Heskey up front!
Whenever you're feeling down watch this for a lift
"If scored 3 goals in that game that means I got a hat trick" - Michael Owen

there is definitely glimmers of hope for our national team (sterling, barkley etc.), and yes we definitely should have done better at the wc.
The glimmers of hope is the Euro U-17 this year. Not only did we win the final on penalties, Germany lost in the group stage, even Scotland did better.
g
This game was held in the old Olympic Stadium. That's why they built a new one in Munich. Yay England!!! Sweetest revenge.
I think heskey was so underrated he was unreal this game deserved his goal
beckham, gerrard and owen years... even though we didn't show it but about 15-20 years ago we were definitely one of the best in the world
+Chris Hughesy England have always been a team that at there best can beat anyone. They have always had players which are good enough to compete with the very top teams far more than they have.
And gerrard got even better. That goal on half time, his goal in istanbul, his goal against west ham in the cup final and this guy is still doing it today. He must go down as one of greatest footballers of all time.
Becks = 2-footed genius. Scholes = pure genius. Stevie G = 2-way genius. Owen = scoring genius. What a team!
i watched this match in my little room in germany and went crazy for england.
Well, this was our truly most memorable moment so far. Plus, Germany got revenge nine years later in 2010, when we had the goal disallowed, and we lost 4:1, our most embarrassing moment, on par with our most recent loss to Iceland :(
Nothing embarrassing about 2010. If Lampard's goal had stood - and disallowing it was the most inept decision in World Cup history along with Maradona's Hand Of God - Germany would have gone in at half-time rattled and wondering how they'd let a two-goal lead slip. England wouldn't have had to chase the game in the second half, leaving themselves open at the back.
Never get tires of watching this game....
I remember this game as it would be yesterday. It's was a crazy game, like the 7:1 against brazil....
1-4 "There are a lot of supporters leaving this ground and I don't think any of them are English LOL"
back when england wern't utter shite
geobruf123 Exactly. Im not English, but this is the English football I want to see. Splendid football. Classic, strong, and solid.
+Captain Rhodes Haha, a few months later people were calling that team utter shite. There was some great players in there but the team never performed at all at a major tournament.
styot they played good in 2002. particularly against argentina
+styot
the germans were shite. that's what did it.
zarni000 if the germans were shite now they would still beat us
Beckham looks like a class apart. His style and brand of play would still cut it against even todays best.
I spent a lot of time working in Germany in 2001: on the Monday after the match a German colleague rang me, "my son was sleeping in my lap, so I couldn't get up to turn the TV off ! there was a huge black man in a white shirt with one million candle power of floodlights, and the only people in the stadium who couldn't see him were the German defence" :)
Heskeeeeeeyyyyyyy
LOL 😂
If gerrard was in the team in 2002 we'd have won the cup.
If only England could play like this consistently! They would have bagged a couple of international trophies instead of forever living in nostalgia of the 1966 world cup team.
I always remember this lager advert here in England (a few years before this game), where Jimmy Hill says "I don't believe it" after seeing a mock England 5-0 score against Germany on a scoreboard. What a prediction that was!
Who would guess 13 years later, germany beat brazil in brazil, 7-1, in a world cup semi-final?
owen's finishing was amazing, very talented England team (midfield and attack that is), although it was germany who reached the final next year without having a descent striker as we can see but with a great keeper. I used to like that england team because of owen gerard beckham scholes etc but now there is no one like them unfortunately, who knows maybe kane and alli or the new m.u. babes could reach their level one day
hoe did that deli alli prediction work out? what a clown.
one of the great mysteries in life is the england football team constantly underperforming in major tournaments, even when (unlike nowadays) blessed with great and/or gifted players such as the ones depicted in this video...
This was on my birthday best present ever! I was 17!
Can you upload England's 1-7 loss to Hungary?
Yes in 1954 because that's significant..
Clark Kent 1966 as not much later.. You saying England's world cup victory doesn't matter?
Alkan shut up.
Wilfried Zaha dont get butthurt kk
Not even remotely butthurt, england have been a huge disappointment over the past decade, however your talking poo about the 50s looool
It's Emile HESKEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY! IT'S FIVE!
My Dad told me when I was watching this live in a pub when I was three, I stood on the pool table and cheered everytime someone scored, even Germany haha.
Haha :)
You were three when this happened!? Sh**, I feel old.
Very rare to see footage from the Munich Olympic stadium where the camera is installed on this side of the pitch, facing the grandstand. In 99,9 per cent of the broadcasts from this stadium, the camera was installed on the opposite side.
Owen was fucking sick.
the germans went on to rebuild after this game england just fucked about.
+stephen flannery really ? I know a win over Germany recently doesn't seem like fucking about.
+Miguel Rodriquez I don't know*
That's a great forecast! England are going to win the Euros, thanks for mentioning it!
estilkind they cant even beat russia LOL
Hey, Ben. Russia's got a great team now (well, they're only 29th in Fifa , but Fifa has Belguim as #2). And they're hosting in 2018. So they're now dangerous as well (and their fans at the game were punks which can be distracting when they're shooting off flairs in the stands)
this England team is amazing, Becks, scholes, Gerrard, Neville, seamen, Campbell, owen and more!! when you think about the players we have had and the team's we've put together it's crazy how we haven't won more but the fact is Germany win when it matters
it'd be an interesting match-up pitting 2001 England against 2014 Germany.
Its surprising that England haven't had more success at international level until you realise Matt Le Tissier only has 8 caps, Scholes retired early because he was thrown out on the being to accommodate fraudulent Gerrard/Lampard and Hoodle was seen as a "luxury" player ffs, then you realise the problem and that its not a surprise at all. The English set up is garbage and fundamentally wrong pathetic, we have the least number of coaches at grassroats level out of the top european teams, not to mention the culture of shunning small players in favour of big physical presences for the good old "put it in the mixer" football, soccer in this country is doomed I tell ya, DOOOOOOOMED
+stealthiscool Scholes was forced by Fergie to retire early(just like he did with Giggs, Berbatov, Vidic), not playing on the wing. He actually came out back then saying he has no problem playing on the wing.
How this German team made the World Cup final is astounding
It is shocking. How this England team never even made a semi final in the 3 tournaments from 2002-2006 is also unbelievable. The only two players you'd probably replace are Heskey and Barmby. Shearer and Owen up front with this lot would almost have been unstoppable.
As a German, we got incredibly lucky with who we faced and England got unlucky, at least in 2002. After 2006 German football started to get into the golden era
but back to my point, England probably had a better side than Germany in 2002, they just happened to run into Brazil earlier, while Germany ran into teams like USA and South Korea
They got an unbelievably fortunate route to the final starting with an easy group and then Paraguay in the 2nd round, USA in the quarters and South Korea in the Semis... Fair play to them, you've still got to go out and win but they didn't come up against any real quality until the final.
Again, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining that they got there, but going into the World Cup I would have been happy with a quarterfinal appearance.
This team was astoundingly bad, just like in 1982 though managed to make the final
Phil MNAP The thing about German teams is that they've traditionally had an abundance of skill, ability and technique but if you strip all that away there's still an ingrained discipline and workman-like mentality.
The 2002 team may have lacked the talented players of previous and subsequent tournaments but they still retained that methodical discipline which was enough to see them through against modest opposition.
You know you're having a bad night when Heskey puts one past you 🤣
Winning 4-1 in a world cup match is far more important and delightful. :)
Winning 4-2 in WC final is even more so xD
Frank Watson I wasn't born but it still hurts lol :D
John Denver would that be the game where Germany were cruising at 2-0 and then England got one back and then had another only go about 3 feet over the line but somehow wasn't given by the only 2 pairs of eyes in the ground that couldn't see it?
amazed66
no, it was not behind the line. Haven't you seen the photo?
s925.photobucket.com/user/nugepcua/media/lampard-goal.jpg.html
This will always be my favourite England game ever. Cannot believe we beat them 5-1 in their own backyard and yet they still went on the reach the World Cup final less than a year later, madness!
why did england play in home shirts and germany in away?
and Germany in their green jersey! I'm baffled.
because this was technically an england home match
First time I've watched this sort of thing since 1966. Can hardly watch for the tears welling up. Maybe I should watch more.
People are treating this Heskey like the modern day Heskey, around his Liverpool days he was actually pretty good.
What a player Steve Gerrard was imagine if he was fit for the World Cup in Japan and Korea
He would have still been outclassed by Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. These were two technically inept teams on display.
Are you suggesting we would have won the World Cup?
all 5 English goals were scored by Liverpool players ;)
Germany no longer give a shit about this match as they have already qualified. They went on to become finalist in 2002 in Korea/Japan World Cup
They hadn't already qualified. They were sent to the play-offs as a result of this.
The transition at 1:40 is deliciously cinematic
It's fiiive!
I can get used to this. GO ENGLAND!!
What a side that was. The players we had was rediculous
remember watching this game in a pub in town, I was 18. Good old days!
England's greatest achievement in the last 20 years was winning a friendly xD
Not really
motoring enthusiast 88 Yes really.
+Ryan Dong
Eh we won six nations...as for the football team idk.
motoring enthusiast 88 I was referring to the football.
wasn't a friendly
This was a bigger win than in 1939-45!
The more important thing is that you achieved it alone this time ;)
John Denver
Battle of Britain was alone ;)
John Denver Well to be fair the Americans only joined in because of the japanese, and Europe would have been screwed without us.
Jacob Gadd And the US were srewed without the french in the revolution war. How about that? The french of all the people!
And the spanish. England was kicking Americas arse in the revolutionary war, until america called france and Spain to help them
Great win. Loved watching this with my mates.
This clip is of reversed vision. Thank you really for HD
...yet Germany get to the World Cup Final less than a year later!!!!
and met their real rival...italy
What the hell? Germany played Brazil in the 2002 final.
+estilkind my bad, got mixed up but brazil and italy are their real rivals whom they were unable to beat for a long time before 2014
Good point! And they finally had their rubber final against Argentina in 2014 and won. (That game against Brazil showed the world that they could win it all)
poor Brazil, how the mighty has fallen. if they weren't being idiots in 2006 they would have won the WC which makes them 6 times world champion. that alone gave me the chill. Brazil & Germany were two of my favorites. I referred to them as Conqueror and Defender. But Brazil sux ballz, I knew they won't go far after their opening match vs Mexico. If Chile had the confident & experience in WC they would have beat Brazil and played Germany instead. That would have been a better match.
the problem is the shitty manager the players that are no near the level of the 2001 players, what happened to the Beckhams? to the Sholes? to the Gerrards? to the Owens?
and thats because english teams rather spend millions in 3 good players than invest in their academies, you got great football prospects but because you never help them to develop they stay like that, no more than promises
how you are doing it won't take too long for England to start missing worldcups because other teams are starting to have great players and develop in fact the reason why england will go to the WC in 2014 is because the rediculously easy group the UEFA gave them
Funny that Andy Gray said "lovely cushioned header" describing the setup for Owen's equalizer. He said the same thing about Gerrard's goal against Olympiakos in the CL a few years later.
9:15 This victory in a qualifier is payback time for three defeats in the latter stages of an international tournament.
As an England fan, I really enjoyed this result but some perspective is needed.
This was a qualifying game for the 2002 World Cup.
It's the tournament that matters.
How did Germany do in 2002 and how did we do?
Germany did what they pretty much always did back then... they reached the Final 😂
@@manuelrodriguez2637 Exactly.
Brazil are just as much of a disappointment this time I expected to see gold but felt like I was watching teams I never heard of. Atleast we know what England's problem is we spend too much money and effort on foreign players. Liverpool import kids for god sake. Focus on local youth and build us a true class team not all about their pay grade. Or give £100,000 bonuses for a goal and £100,000 cuts for being a fanny rolling on the floor wasting time.
Amen. I second this proposal!
can i join and roll on the floor for £100,000? i could use the money. ^^
I love football. I sincerely wish it wasn't becoming full of pussies and divers. I love the sport but have watched it decline since the 90's watching triple somersaults and players like C Ronaldo gaining player of the year awards. :(
To be fair, Liverpool have some fantastic english talents, both established and coming through. Henderson, Sturridge, and Sterling, Ibe, Jerome Sinclair for the future.
Not a Liverpool fan, but it's safe to say Liverpool 5 - Germany 0
Are you crazee ?
The result is 1 : 5 !
mfg. ;-). PGS !
He means the people who scored were from Liverpool
I mean 1 haha sorry xD
I laughed my arse off when Heskey scored and the commentator went mental
'5-1, EVEN HESKEY SCORED!'
I think that England's on-field results as a result of poor management and a squad of overpaid prima donnas is Newcastle United writ large under Ashley. A nation with the richest club competition in the world can't field a squad that has a realistic go at a World Cup semi final, never mind getting to the final and winning. I think the competition to sign world class players having saturated the Premier League with foreign players is part of the problem. Fair enough, sign a star who will get you 25 goals in a season from abroad, and anyone else you feel can get the job done from abroad. But you have to invest in local lads - youth more specifically. And you need to fuck Hodgson off and get someone in who will get them up for a game.
And then Germany reached World Cup 2002 final
+DancingMedicineMan how many stars does the German jersey have and how many does England? You aren't actually comparing the German side to the English are you??? Tom Petty said even the losers get lucky sometimes. It's been 50 years since the one and only star was put on that jersey and we all know the history of that final right? I'll give England this game but it's certainly something to cherish by the English side because rarely does it happen. It'll take several lifetimes if ever for England to eclipse the endless achievements of the German National Team.
+DancingMedicineMan sounds like you have sour grapes for Germany and that's too bad. I don't recall Germany cheating but I'd like to know how you drew that conclusion? Do you have a team that you support? If you look at the 1966 World Cup you will see the ball never crossed the line but the referee saw differently. That's what happens in international soccer. England got their only star and Germany accepted it and moved on but Germany never forgot it. That's why it's been half a century of Germany beating on England. It sounds to me that you're just angry and reaching because Germany is just is better team and England will never reach the heights the German side has. At least in my lifetime. Please feel free to document your claims here of the Germans cheating in their 4 World Cup victories.
You may believe what you want. You may even believe in Santa Clause....
+Jürgen Selders well put! I believe this was a friendly although I suspect England put their strongest first squad on the pitch whilst Germany took it as a scrimmage game for fun.
+booeyats1 I'm still waiting your evidence of the Germans cheating.
I remember that day. Somebody said "this is revenge for the last match at the old Wembley Stadium". Well done, England!
See you in Paris at the 10th of July :-)
Sadly Holland won't be there, so OUR teams have to entertain the world at that evening.
'But Germany were in the World Cup final and England were knocked out in the quarter final.' If Germany had to play Brazil in the quarter final they would've lost as well. Same reason Portugal got to the Euro final- they were on the soft side of the draw.
Lose to Germany... Revert to this ;)
2 World Wars
1 World Cup
5-1
The times that Englishmen live.
F3rrata Lol who r u refering to ? I support Germany. My comment was sarcasm because Englishmen prefer to talk about the past.
Franc Mema
sry, my fault buddy, i'll delete my comment.
i just was too dumb to understand it right... lol
btw. they don't talk about the past, they live in the past...
F3rrata Exactly
One of the goals was scored at a significant time in English history, 66 minutes which alludes to the 1966 world cup final
Franc Mema Please explain wtf both of you are going on about! Lol
I'm not a football fan but this makes the hair on the back of my neck stand-up!
whats with the kits?
Being English I hate to shit on our parade but this whole obsession with beating the Germans and reminding them about 2 war wins is very sad and pathetic. Germans do not care, they have forgotten this result ever happened and are now number 1 team in the world. We English laugh and mock Scotland for having this anti-English sentiment where they always want to beat us, but we are the same with Germany. It's very sad to see. Time for England to move on and focus on building a winning team!
You seem very confused
***** To some yes, but a lot of English fans think they have a rivalry with Germany.
Ian Sutton your bang on.
+Ian Sutton That what's called inferiority complex problem!!!
+Ian Sutton You're right, mate. The Germans just don't care about '66 or this loss anymore, and we constantly bang on about them. They don't care because they have gone on to win many trophies, whereas we have got nothing else to boast about. I know it is mostly just banter, but it is still embarrassing that we keep banging on about events that the Germans barely remember because they have won so much since. I remember seeing a German guy in an interview once say, 'I really wish England would win something again, just so they may shut up about 1966.' This made me feel embarrassed because he was right - we keep harping on about these victories because of our lack of success, and the Germans don't recognise any major rivalry with us in football anymore.
