World Cup 2006 Round of 16 Spain vs France 1-3

[tiarkausar]

i love you so much ZIZOU!!!WHEN ANY PLAYER LIKE YOU ANYMORE?

[bangroji]

Zidane lead france to beat this team at age of 34 that's why we call him legend.

[09bloodthirsty]

there is too much difference between spain 2006 and spain 2011-12

spain is the best team with xaviesta no doubt

you will see again on euro 2012

[Hellraisor1016]

@09bloodthirsty xavi and iniesta were playing in 2006 world cup...

[JMGA196]

2012 and 2014 are secure with Benzema, Lacazette, Griezmann, Remy, Payet, Lloris, Ruffier, Coquelin and other ones!!

[ihatewestlifesince99]

France is too inconcistent, too fake (a line up of Africans & Arabs),cheaters,too heavily favoured by refs coz of strong influence in UEFA & FIFA to be considered anywhere near the level of Brazil,Italy & Germany. Simply put France's ability to win is more to do w/ external factors than w/ actual footballing ability. France is at best an average team

[farinabuffon]

Oh and, at 2:11 puyol and casilas got owned

[TolangJenny]

puyol + villa + xavi + iniesta + alonso + other spanish cunts < zidane

[bellion028]

is that Morientes in 1:24?

[fendi1324]

@bellion028 that was luis garcia lol noob

[bellion028]

@fendi1324 tat's y im asking..

[bellion028]

Morientes in 1:24?

[tutoriale239]

france whitout zidane is a one shit

[MMAmachinhead92]

This was the Spain team before they utilized the "Tiki-Taka" style as they did in 2010.

[marioisawesome121]

Germany and Netherlands are the 2 best teams in the world right now. Spain lost against Italy a team that couldn't make it out of the group stage.

[xFootball2011x]

@marioisawesome121 There you go my friend. Finally someone knows something about football. Spain is not good anymore. Spain lost after the World Cup to Portugal 4-0, Spain lost to after the World Cup to 4-1 and Lose 2-1 to Italy. The only 2 powerhouses right Now is Netherlands and Germany. I think Netherlands vs Germany will be the Finals of the EURO 2012 and the WC 2014. Germany winning one cup, and Netherlands winning the other. Anyways PROUD TO BE DUTCH :)

[trebby83]

@xFootball2011x You right, i'm agree with.

[Pitvp2]

@xFootball2011x I think spain is showing proof of slowing down, it happens after win 2 back to back major tournaments.

[Pitvp2]

@marioisawesome121 losing to italy aint embarrassing as its the italians.

[lilKrazyproductions0]

ZIDANE LEGEND

[saelaenc]

In hindsight, terrible squad selection by the Spanish coach. Picking Pernia and leaving Capdevila off the squad altogether was probably a mistake. Also how can you justify subbing in Senna for Xavi at 72'?? At least put in Iniesta (left on the bench). At 54', Villa and Raul were also subbed out for Luis Garcia (now plays in Mexico, wasn't all that great at Liverpool) and Joaquin (good player but nowhere near Villa's class). Finally, Pablo Ibáñez selected at RB over Salgado?? You kidding me??

[xYouthAttackx]

@saelaenc average age for each of spain's players was 24 in 2006. i think they were too young to win. and i mean france did beat a good brazil team. maybe it was just having zidane :)

[dablacksquad]

till this day i still think 2006 wc was way better then 2010

[irondeth2]

all the dark people living in france are blacks,gypsies, and spaniards(pakis) lol

[saul1019]

@irondeth2 Spaniards are white idiot, even if they weren't who cares? They provide better soccer than most "White" countries.

[irondeth2]

fuck spain and their moorish mongoloid arab people, they should leave europe 'cause they're not white. FRANCE ROCKS!!!

[alberto12340]

@irondeth2 You mad?We got the same porcentage of arab blood than french people.Deal with it.

[Rosatii]

@irondeth2

racist bastard "irondeth" loser Rot in hell

[irondeth2]

@SenorGomez are u mad? haha everytime i pissed a spaniard off they alwas say "i have blonde hair and blue eyes" hahaha dumbshits, low self-esteem?

[SenorGomez]

@irondeth2

so I have low self esteeem cuz I'm stating that the majority of us are nothing like mongoloids which btw are in asia. berbers are considered caucasoid retards. and you probably have shit eyes and a shit face.

you mad spain is winning every youth competition and world cup and the last euro and has a better team than france using ONLY spanish players. good luck with filling up your rosters from africa, lol you guys are such hyprocrites.

[MRr3n3gade]

France will never again beat Spain :)

[ultimatemiddlefield]

@MRr3n3gade Haha do not say never because if there someone like zidane you better pray that spain doesnt get to play against france

[zeesh181]

@ultimatemiddlefield : Current spain isnt like the spain of 2006..If 2006 France played against current spain team...they wouldve been demolished in the midfield by Xavi and Iniesta in defense by Puyol Pique and in the foreward by villa and pedro...damn thats almost barcelona lol...so stop dwelling into this old memory

[ultimatemiddlefield]

@zeesh181 lies because zidane outclassed xavi in most of the matches he played with him so dont try to tell me that the current span would demolish france.

[zeesh181]

@ultimatemiddlefield Dude current Xavi is a whole different player from what he was in 2006....but I agree Zidane was great player but he cant do a thing against the current spain team

[ultimatemiddlefield]

@zeesh181 zidane was from another world and he will always be thee best. Also zidane by himself took france to the finals 2 times and beated all those good teams that were better then spain like brazil, germany etc..

[zeesh181]

@ultimatemiddlefield LOL yes and when was it ? late 90's and 2006...football was a 1 man show during those days... and now u just dont have a chance if u dont play as a team...look at the defense soo high up and acres of space..specially against brazil...they probably had the best defense at that time...but still henry was unmarked there was acres of space..u just dont get so much space nowadays...I agree Zidane was great but when the standard of football was LOW compared to now!

[ultimatemiddlefield]

@zeesh181 dude france 2006 had better players then spain 2010 and u only think that spain is good because most of the current teams are sucky

[Pitvp2]

@ultimatemiddlefield Actually france 2006 were a grandad team, really really old only thanks to zidanes masterclass performance in the knockout stage got them to final.

[ultimatemiddlefield]

@Pitvp2 ZIZOU IS THE BEST!!

[cubano017]

@zeesh181 spain is not the same as it was in 2008 i dont think they're going to win next eurocup neither the next fifa world cup, they are a good team but it's not the same team from 2008 or 2010, Right now Germany is a better team and for me is favorite to win the eurocup if not see the last results argentina 4 spain 1 portugal 4 spain 0 italy 2 spain 1, i mean theyre a great team but eventually they're going to loose their first place in the ranking fifa to germany or netherlands it'll be soon

[willf1987]

@cubano017 dude spain is getting better and better everytime they play, just because they lost in exhibition matches mean shit, most of the time they put their reserve players to play first, and not their original starters. Spain SHOWS UP when it really matters, not in pussy exhibition/friendly matches.

[cubano017]

@willf1987 so you mean spain show ups against teams like lichstentein, lithuania, scotland (official games) ?? and they loose against argentina 4-1, portugal4-0, italy2-1 (big teams) on purpose?? so you think spain looses on purpose in friendly matches????? hahaha Im not saying spain is a bad team they're good but thery're not the same as they were in 2008 and they're not getting better and better everytime they play they're getting worse and worse since its best moment in 2008...

[cubano017]

@willf1987 remember that Spain before 2010 they always won their friendly matches so why now they're loosing ??? now the excuse is "is a friendly match" and before the world cup they beat every team in its way now suddenly friendly matches are not important why do they play them if they're not important ??? who does't want to beat Argentina, Portugal or Italy?? just wait and see how spain looses next euro cup if they still playing like that.. in 2008 they were a great team but now....

[willf1987]

@cubano017 Spain knows they got good players, so they're not risking them by putting them in friendly matches, they only take it serious when it's IMPORTANT matches (qualifying for tournaments etc) That's when they put their best players in the line-up.

[cubano017]

sda@willf1987 WHAT?All of them played in those games al least 45 minutes! there is not excuse for loosing 4-1! or 4 -0!and every professional has to take everygame serious if they dont take it serious they are not professional players, and believe me they take it serious cause i've seen interviews before the games the couch the players and they wanted to win they took it serious but they lost like every other team, Trust me ive watched spain since 2008 everygame and they're getting worse...

[willf1987]

@cubano017 You're right, they aren't professional if they don't take it serious. Maybe that terrible loss against that Mexican team they were just fooling around and didn't take it that serious. I'm pretty sure they learn about this and moved on. It serves as a wake up.

Maybe they don't have the same hunger they had in 2008? who knows, all i know is there are certain teams out there who really play their hardest when it really matters. Maybe Spain is up for this, or Maybe they aren't hungry.

[cubano017]

@willf1987  yes maybe they're not hungry but there are other teams like germany or netherlands or even england that i think they have great players that are hungry so they have to wake up now cause otherwise nothing good comes for spain

[cubano017]

@willf1987 and not only that I always watch spanish news and many spaniards say that Vicente del Bosque (Spain's couch) is messing up the national team from 2008 because they know that the team is not playing as good as they used to play... in 2008 Spain was by far the best team in europe and in the world scoring 2, 3, 4 goals by game but in 2010 they won the world cup but scoring just one goal by game and it's getting worse let's just wait and see if they start playing as they used to play.

[Kenpachi035]

@MRr3n3gade don't worry about that ! France will always beat spain in world cup !

[MegaWatermelon123]

Man Spain in 2006 sucked big black cock....

[CR7CR9RealMadrid]

@MegaWatermelon123 Actually they didn't, its just that Spain was outplayed.

[MegaWatermelon123]

@CR7CR9RealMadrid Yeah but compared to now....

[CR7CR9RealMadrid]

@MegaWatermelon123 Yea!!! See, in 2006 Spain were a very young team, now they are more experienced.

[keevie100]

zizou>spain

[tansmshel]

Raul no more for Spain

[tansmshel]

Ribery was offside but still scores

[MegaWatermelon123]

@tansmshel How was he offsides he was onside pause at 0:45

[Rlnd19]

1:06 good Casillas save

[oliverking1]

after france lost zidane it went down hill

[syria993]

the greatest footballer of the world owned the greatest goalkeeper of the world!!!!!!! 2 legends players!!!

[WayneRasmusRooney]

Now spain is a MONSTER

[Milan4EverBG]

@WayneRasmusRooney xaxaxa a monster with 8 goals for a whole world cup.Is that monster on a diet or sth?!Absolutely the worst world cup champion of all time-spain 2010!And they won the final with help from the ref.

[WayneRasmusRooney]

@Milan4EverBG They way Spain play really reminds me about Barcelona. And that way to play is the hardest system to play against. And when it works, as it does for spain and barca, no one can beat them. Thats why spain is a monster.

[guachecocho713]

i was young when i saw zidane play and i say that there is no footballer with his talent. he was simply the best!

[kingangad]

@guachecocho713

i became 13 yr old on 9th june when fifa 2006 footbaal world cup started. i am Indian and i was supporting france throughout the tournament . Player like Zidane come once in a century

[MrHitman006]

1:50, now what, a vuvuzela from 2006 FIFA World Cup

[aerodinamicavideo]

I just miss watching all wonders Zidane gave us, I miss you man, you should get your boots on and play just for fun, if Zidane haves fun we all do.

[majorposiden]

has anyone ever noticed that fance has a pattern of good and bad, 1998 world champions, 2002 they failed, 2006 runner's up, 2010 they failed, so if am correct france is going to pwn in 2014

[aerodinamicavideo]

@majorposiden Actually France always gets eliminated in first round or semifinals/final, theres just one time that they got eliminated in 8ths.. So youre right, they can do a GREAT world cup or AWFUL world cup, theres not such a DECENT world cup for them.. And most probably theyre going to be a great team in 2014.

[thejamiesamuelman]

@majorposiden i noticed that

[kaikovich]

@majorposiden 1998 zidane. 2002 no zidane. 2006 zidane. 2010 no zidane.

[zubairzen11]

@majorposiden i think they are going for third. haha.

[Dunkmaster3333]

@majorposiden no they're not. the only good players they have are ribery, benzema, gourcuff, nasri, and malouda. most of whom are past their prime

[oliverking1]

@Dunkmaster3333 you forgot henry, lloris, saha, anelka, evra, abidal, sagna and diarra

[fendi1324]

@majorposiden nope, because no Zidane.

[borat4421]

@majorposiden they may come 3rd if that logic is correct.

1998 win

2002 fail

2006 runners up

2010 fail

2014 3rd place

who knows?

[MrEnxito19]

COMO SE LLAMA ESE RUIDITO? Q HACE AL PRINCIPIO?

[grobari107]

that was the first time ive seen puyol get fooded, the main difference between good players and legendary players, zidane!!!!!

[mecr19]

@grobari107 Brazilian Ronaldo always owned Puyol like nothing too

[eminemsa1]

zizou

[SpyWizard2]

France is a monster. Spain just a little suprise team not much they will go back to their shitness in few years

[LATINO3051000]

SPAIN 2010 WORLD CHAMPIONS 

[harrybabar1]

Zinadine Zidane.. Pwning defenders since 1996

[ToquiGambit]

Oh and, at 2:11 Puyol got owned.

[ToquiGambit]

No way Spain repeats in 2014.

France will have recovered their dignity by then. Italy will go back to its roots, Germany's young generation will be mature, good luck beating Brazil at their house, Argentina will almost have home advantage and finally after almost 40 yrs South americans will play in their continent again.

In 4 yrs Spain will encounter the result we see in this video. Succumbing when they face the REAL heavyweights.

[MrEnxito19]

GIL DE MIERDA QUE TE PASA!!! A VER SI ENTENDES EL ESPAÑOL PEDAZO DE MIERDA

[ToquiGambit]

@MrEnxito19

En el 2014 Espana volvera a ser puesta en el lugar que le corresponde ante la presencia de los verdaderos dioses del futbol. Y sera hora de que los regionalistas espanoles dejen de olvidar la patetica situacion en la que viven, en su pais destruido por ellos mismos.

[aerodinamicavideo]

@ToquiGambit Thats a good point, in Southafrica 2010 there werent REAL heavyweights, in Germany 2006 we had Ronaldinho who was the best that year, Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Del Piero, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Vieira, Totti, Buffon, Riquelme, etc.. THOSE were REAL heavyweights.

[manutdr8]

@aerodinamicavideo the heavyweights werent determined until the knock out stages, for me the only heavy weights were Muller Ozil Khedira

[77chivafighter]

i hate france

[cuilboy001]

france is a mess now

[lovemonkeyperez]

Great penalty from villa

[KaitoAisuLover]

THEY'RE COMPETING FOR LITTLE ITALY!

RUN, ROMANO, RUN!!

[jnoobe9055]

in 2010 it was spain who deserved the world cup, but 2006 was 10 times more entertaining, with many more big matches and classics, this was one of many. Spain before Euro 2006 lacked the personality which made teams like Brazil, Italy, and Germany be regular winners in the world cup, France earned this personality due to a historic leader called Zinedine Zidane

[xbox4409]

@jnoobe9055 Ya man I agree with you this years world cup was just boring i fell asleep on some of the games in my opinion the 2006 was the best the euro 2008 was not that bad either

[senorsalazar]

@xbox4409 In fact Euro 2008 was far better than the 2010 World Cup, Especially those matches involving Turkey. Like the match they played against Croatia in the QF when they equalized with virtually the last kick of the game and went on to win the ensuing PSO 3-1. And before that they came from 2 goals down to beat the Czechs 3-2. Its a pity they didn't make it to South Africa.

[CanalBarto]

Zidane's goal, was the best !!

[NavedR9]

France is good for Spain...!

[DJRolix2008]

there will never be a player like Zidane any more

[ToonTownFr33ky]

@DJRolix2008 messi is better

[DJRolix2008]

@ToonTownFr33ky who is that? :))

[FUDevil1]

@DJRolix2008

there already is xD

[bosnianlegend15]

@DJRolix2008 mesut ozil

[zeesh181]

@DJRolix2008 There are 3 now!! Xavi, Iniesta and 1 better than him...u got it right Leo Messi!

[hegde14]

@pipoxter this south africa world cup was shit because of the vuvuzelas

[oliverecords]

@hegde14 bbbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[ShervinGetOffMee]

damn that penalty save attempt was amazing, if he was a few inches taller he woulda saved that

[TheAtomicGlow]

spain has sucked until they suddenly got good in 2008

[hflink07]

16 likes basketball

[Casioo24]

98,2002 and 06 were awesome world cups, so many cool moments and good players in them

Hope 2014 will be better then 2010

[MultiqProductions]

wtf? France was better this time, but now theyre not so good now, seriously. I miss those days.

[DennisCastro100]

zidane is good at every thing to do wif soccer but penalty kicks

[sunnyfabregas]

@DennisCastro100 but penalty kicks?

he has never missed a penalty

[gmcgavin]

great editing to make it look like spain were in that game. they weren't.

[sunnyfabregas]

without zidane?

i say without barthez!

[CanalBarto]

Up Zidane!

[misfitsg17]

The 2006 world cup was wayyyy better than this years

[spainking1]

@misfitsg17 why because france lost 

[misfitsg17]

@spainking1 No, France lost both world cups

[spainking1]

@misfitsg17 lol but i like how spain won but i wanted to see spain vs brazil or france

[misfitsg17]

0:45 casillas just watches like a dumb ass!

[NavedR9]

Puyol and Casillas punished by Zidane the Legend.

[glendasboyfriend]

damn zidane did puyol DIRTY!!

[12Aggiefan]

Puyol and Casillas got OWNED by Zidane in stoppage time!

[TobiMille]

YEAH Ribery Rulllezz

[Luigi25Lopez]

wat a difference france is without zidane and i dont know wat happened 2 italy

(world cup 2006) italy + france = Legendary

(world cup 2010) italy + france= LAST PLACE IN GROUPS WTF

[INVFootSoldier]

@Luigi25Lopez France - no team spirit (I mean Anelka cursed at Domenech and got kicked out and they almost didn't train)

Italy - All of their top players are getting old now... Gattuso, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Del Piero... They will have to search for talented young players i guess :/

[glendasboyfriend]

@Luigi25Lopez exactly what i'm tripped out about too

[alhawawy]

Viera is the best :(

[LaManipulation]

We got big problems in this World Cup. With the new coach Laurent Blanc and new young players, it will be possible to kick some spanish ass in the next World Cup.

P.S. : France won against Spain few hours ago for the 9th UEFA Championship Under 19 (2-1).

[europefootballfan]

@LaManipulation I agree with you I just wish france had a different coach in the world cup the only reason why everybody likes spain is because of fernando torres and david villa i think Hugo Lloris is a better goalkeeper then Iker Casillasn i think france might make it too the final in euro 2012 so theres hope

[Spartan30053]

Spain got his ass kick vs France but Spain won 2010 south africa ; (

[Spartan30053]

Casillas is not that good vs Zidane

[PLPL90908]

in 2006 france was MONSTER

[anth2491]

@PLPL90908 Italy was better ;)

[suzukihondacivic3398]

@PLPL90908 it was zidane who was the monster

[davlor86]

@PLPL90908 yeah, what about 2002 or 2010? ;P

[qkwnwkw]

@PLPL90908 in 2006 France was losers!!!!!!!!!! FORZA ITALIA.

[aerodinamicavideo]

@qkwnwkw Yes sure Italy were the champions that time, but I enjoyed a lot watching France beat the hell out of SPAIN, BRAZIL and PORTUGAL. While Italy beated Australia with a bad called penalty, Ukrain and finally a decent team GERMANY.. In the final all I saw was dirty gaming and materazzi bothering Zizou all the match, I actually think that Materazzi alone won the world cup by doing that, he did an excellent job.

[qkwnwkw]

@aerodinamicavideo lol yep and like Rossi in 1982. Materazzi was the hero in 2006 when he came on as a substitute for Nesta against the Cech Republic and scored after 5 minutes.

[truvianni]

@aerodinamicavideo Players things to each other all the time to get each other angry and they also do things when nobody is looking or that nobody can see like pinch each other during corner kicks. Zizou was probably saying smiliar things to Materazzi but at least he did not have to answer words with physical violence. The French are just making excuses because they lost

[bengaltigre53]

@PLPL90908 Zidane*

[mihanich]

cant believe that france failed so shamefully at wc2010

[MissProudIranian]

@mihanich i know rite :(

so sad

[blackoil911]

France was such a dominant team''' its a shame fifa 10 xbox 360

ranks france as 5th best'''

[rutopfeeriom]

No 12AcA,Holland will not do the same to Spain Sunday,you fucking dumb cunt!Suck fucking shit,Spain are the world champions and you're guttertrash,piece of garbage shit for brains!!!!!!!

[SFJUMP]

Oh boy Spain gonna lose to Holland.

[Adelaide1994]

@SFJUMP ahahahahah loser

[SFJUMP]

@Adelaide1994 HA HA HA HA HA HA HA FRANCE WON SPAIN LOSE.

[Adelaide1994]

@SFJUMP yes.... they did in 2006.. but who has the world cup trophy now??? ahahahahaha france shouldnt have even been in the world cup THIS YEAR. which team were the laughingstock of the 2010 world cup?? france.. :)..

[12AcA]

hollland will do the same by spain sunday

[Khaled891987]

Zidane is the worst player

[dqzwow]

@Khaled891987 fuck u

[chrisauh]

casillas was fucked by the frenches goals

[Cravle]

Zidane simply the best of all time

[sumguy4130]

nice penalty

[tm2016123]

i think fifa world cup 2006 was better than 2010 because in 2010 many teams that were in the round of 16 are not good like Slovakia, South Korea, Ghana, Chile, USA, and also Italy and France did not even make it to the round of 16 but in 2006 they were all good teams.

[cjammproduction]

@tm2016123 dat just means Soccer has evolved around the world u knw just beacause they're not really knwn around the world doesnt mean there no good nd it was a pretty good world cup just not as good

[aboood811]

ONE OF THE BEST GAME EVER

[patioheater3]

2006 world cup was so much better

[empoleon209]

france were awesome in 06 , wtf happened to them in 2010?

[patioheater3]

@empoleon209

no zidane

[cjammproduction]

@empoleon209 no good captain like Zidane

[skate3745]

when ribery scored the goal the commentator said:

it was inductive genius from ribery!and i agree on that.

BTW casillas was pwned by zidane

[Denomaniacc]

YOU CAN'T OUTSMART THE CASELLA.

[thairtango]

Without zidane...... World cup is boring....

[pipoxter]

@thairtango THIS SOUTHAFRICA WORLD CUP WAS SHIT BECAUSE IT GOT NO LEGENDS.

ZIDANE ROCKS

[hahahaha65496]

@pipoxter indeed.......

[Winnipeg4ever]

@thairtango ur right man

[mike0957]

@thairtango without zidane france sucks dick lol

[peleking352]

@thairtango yeah he'll just come out of retirement just for u :O

[qkwnwkw]

@thairtango I just loved that Red Card he got in the Final. Don't you ?

[Joe22c]

MAN This was SO much better than World Cup 2010
