ENGLAND v SPAIN (Europian Championship Quarter Final 1996)

[themanwithnosocks]

Barry Davies was superb much better than the horrible cliched commentators of today

[c533221]

england first time win in penalty shootout ^ ^

[Kallytom]

lampard and co need to watch pearce take that penalty, watch what playing for england is all about!!

[bensutherland]

was this the last time england won penalties?

[ivantuga2]

@bensutherland Yes.

[rbenitoramos]

And Nadal, Rafa's Uncle, missed the last penalty.

[CunningStunt777777]

How did Spain not win this? Two penalties decisions not given; two good goals. It should have been England 0 Spain 4.

[MegaDanDrum]

Euro 96 was last time England came anywhere near winning a major tournament, and this match is also the only time they have ever won a penalty shootout... ever

[MySilverr]

0:57 certainly looked a goal. Also, I remember the Germans got one in extra time in the Semi and there didn't look a lot wrong with that. However, the Lampard goal in 2010 we didn't get to make it 2-2. I suppose it evens out! 

[chof0319]

@MySilverr second one from the replay was a definate goal, ur right.

[Eaglesfanmd]

man of the match: the linesman who bailed out england's sorry ass twice

[navieedful]

which stadium was this?? please tell me someone!!!

[Mikez4]

@navieedful Wembley

[navieedful]

shearer's miss of his life!!!

[navieedful]

where is raul???

[mrperfect1879]

you don't really see passion like that (Pearce & co.) in an England shirt anymore! :/

[timonest1983]

Spain were robbed! (and I'm English). However our penalty takers seem to have much better composure and technique than our more recent teams!

[escrotoenmoto]

It was not offside. Shame!!

[MultiPlayaaa]

alan shearer hated micheal owen......cos shearer was 22 when he got the englang job

micheal owen was 16 .tipical newcastle bad loser....then he kissed owens arse to cum to newcastle cos shearer on hes contract had anyone who cums to the club for more than they paid for me i want a 20percent pay rise....BASTARD..he hated owen even stop englang at the age of 30 cos he didnt want to sitt on the bench over the new kid MICHEAL OWEN shearer won fuckall when man utd asked u 2 join them you said n

[essexbred1986]

Spain's first disallowed goal was fair enough, however their second attempt looked legitimate. Only just.

[Finfanillo]

The last penalty was missed by Nadal, Rafa Nadal's uncle

[luu2594]

0:57 no offside!

[luu2594]

Spain pissed England

[FluffyFooFookins]

This was the only time I've ever seen England win a penalty shootout in all the 20+ years I've watched them and even then that was with the home advantage.

[Applemask]

@FluffyFooFookins It is literally the only time we've done it.

[luu2594]

Spain deserved to win, where is the offside on second goal??? incredible, at least germany destroyed them

[90alexcatalan]

spain were robbed in this match . scored 2 fair goals . referee was bent

[Shanksy69]

Gotta love Tony Adams for his cheeky offside appeals that would often persuade the linesman the attacker was offside even if he was on.

[vania1013]

the best team we had for along time todays mob mightv earn more but man for man they are poor 2nd where is the ball dribblers and player passes

[rmstew]

Notice that Gazza was the only England player to send Zubi the wrong way for his penalty. That was the genius of the man.

[davlor86]

the goals weren't offside!! what the...? Spain deserved to win this game

[richis404]

im german but i loved this era of english football and their national team.england sold his football to foreign billionairs ,foreign players and foreign national coaches.I was really shocked about the lost match vs germany,except a few minutes at the end of the 1st half the german victory never seemed to be in any trouble

[rmstew]

@richis404

It's true. I was in a Bierhalle in Munich for that game. I still don't know what happened to England. They did rather well in the qualifying. It just wasn't the same team at the main event.

[gogsi02]

@0:47 NO OFFSIDE !!!

[90alexcatalan]

@gogsi02 no onside . go to specsavers . 15 years later and u lot are still biased pricks. wudnt mind you lot dont win anything

[chof0319]

@90alexcatalan true 2nd goal was no offisde.

[uberstu]

wasn't that spain goal onside...

[diegochilecruzado]

holy fuck england won on penalties....

[TWYI]

a perfectly legitimate goal ruled out for Spain - they are the world champions now so who cares :-)

[st33trac3r]

chills...

[johnstube123]

@AIKsupporter actually england had a friendly with them in 2004 and they lost in the end

[hujjer]

1:03 how was THAT an offside?

[AIKsupporter]

this is the last game between England and Spain, cool, England have won their last game against the reigning World Champions

[elgringo9791]

Erm Baseball???? You think I am American or what mate, no I don't think he is a f****** legend more like a muppet. A. Cole miles better than he ever was. End of.

[mrperfect1879]

@elgringo9791 erm i dont think so just look at the pure passion Pearce and co. show playing for England here in a major tournament for a start! Especially compared to tournaments since '96, the current generation of players for example haven't shown this enthusiasm or passion whilst playing for England have they?

[jasonrose65]

are you shitting me we won penalties?

[DuskEternal1]

@jasonrose65 lol i know XD

[tristessa56079]

Pearce scoring his penalty is one of the greatest English footballing moments ever.

[elgringo9791]

Pearce a Legend??????? LMAO he celebrated scoring a pen FINALLY !!!! Spain were Robbed of those Euros but hey that is Football Now lets look forward to the World Cup 2010 and hope the refs are fair to ALL teams, Vamos Espana /0)

[Bamir2]

@elgringo9791 If you don't think Stuart Pearce is a legend you're watching the wrong f$%@ing sport my friend.

Formula 1 or baseball may be more your speed.

[DannyBoy777777]

England should not have won. Spain had two good goals ruled out. 0-2 Spain.

[gajdijaa]

is it my memory or is this the only time that england went through on penalties?

[Lodatzor]

Them's were the days, eh? When we could actually reach a semi-final.

C'mon England in 2010! Let's get back to where we belong!

[tom101086]

stuart pearce: what a man

[thrillamf]

I remember this match. Spain were all over England and were unlucky to lose. Both this run to the semi final and the Italia 90 run to the semi final were overrated big time.

[latinovasco]

im sorry there was no offsides on the one play! what can you say

[Thiagocm1988]

foda-se a Inglaterra

[mellamoramonsalazar]

i dont want to insult or anything like that, but its the first time i see england winning a penalty shootout lol

[TrilogyofC]

@mellamoramonsalazar it suprised me to lol

[overfiend30]

I think that's because it is!

[Jayfive276]

@mellamoramonsalazar 1st and only time :) Successive england managers have decided not to practice penalties before WC and EC knockout games.

[gunninlinguist]

0:55 Salinas def 100% onside.

[LetsGoFcukingMental]

how the frig did shearer miss that

[DonRodrigon]

This match was stolen from us. Two legal goals and one penalty the referee didn't see against Alfonso.

[Indul1]

@DonRodrigon It does not show it here but Gascoigne brought down a spanish player clearly

[DonRodrigon]

@Indul1 Usually I get told off but it's nice to know some British fans can be impartial too. Thank you for sharing that with me, mate.

[terryfink]

i miss gazza

[supahdupahguy81]

Euro 96 is the reason why nowadays the majority of people who attend England football matches are total morons, too many middle-class trendies, too many women, too many thick BNP-voting, knucke dragging hard-done-by attitude whingers, know fuck-all about football, wishy washy booing-lampard-for-2-solid-yea­rs-AT WEMBLEY, bandwagonist, singing "god save the queen" all the time, try-too-hard-to-be-patriotic boring cunts.

sorry.

[terryfink]

best post on youtube... lol

And i'm English

[supahdupahguy81]

I'm English as well, believe it or not! we're not bad when it comes to club football, but the type of ppl who go to england matches these days just depresses me......

[Tirzo43]

I do agree with you but that match was really great. Very well played by both teams with most of the plays properly terminated with shoots directed to goal. Spain had a system and real team built with good players -no necessary stars- not seen by me until these days with our current team. By the way, second goal was in good position. It was not off side.

[pilkingtonhero]

@supahdupahguy81 couldn't agree more, same happened at club level, certainly with my team the boro, everyone flocked to see Juninho, Ravanelli etc but now its not as entertaining they have no interest.

[Fo3rest]

stuart pearce legend watch his face when he scores the penalty raw emotion or what :)

[stillkorcari37]

One of the very best footballer ever (*_*)

[ChrisLovesOasis]

No one can throw a ball like Gary Neville :)

[nemo12degraff]

rory delap?

[Jalrighty]

David Challenor?

[PERSYFILTH]

rory delap?

[BeadlesGhostClaw]

@ChrisLovesOasis Rory Delap

[turistomar]

the 2nd one was onside...

[guiri35]

England are being rebuilt again and i believe with capello we can go all the way, COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!

[asku23]

Delusions of grandieur

[everton777]

How embarrassing for Spain! Losing to England? Wow!

[xvaughanx]

give england some credit, in 96 they were at an apex

[asku23]

yeah,germany kicked some reality into their heads

[exemadri39]

i was there, horrible, we did lost in penalties.... unforgiven. ... viva espana

[fiofodiveia]

Well, I really don't know. I'm a Brazilian who really oves the beautiful game but in recent I've been trying not to follow any of the europena football because I think our media shows too much of it and I guess this is a kind of colonialism. We have great competiotions such as the Libertadores and Copa América, so I don't like when I see people commenting so passionately about Man Utd Vs Barcelona. I do prefer a good São Paulo Vs Boca Juniors.

[PERSYFILTH]

how can you compare football to colonialism

[fiofodiveia]

Of course it is. The media tries to show European football as the best. If it was so, Europeans would have won all WC so far. But in fact South Americans have won 9 Cups and Europeans 9 too. The difference lies on the fact that you guys have never won a cup out of Europe, whereas Brazil has won in Sweden 1958 and Japan/Korea 2002 :o)

[PERSYFILTH]

okay then what ever, but you watching this video shows that you are realy interested in european football. read the fucking video tittle

[BlueLeopard200]

@fiofodiveia

that's only because europe is more hospitable and less threatening than south america

take the world cup in 78, argentina HAD to win that if you know what I mean

[fiofodiveia]

@BlueLeopard200 you mean... seriously?? With all this xenophobic wave taking Europe you guys are more hospitable? I know, I know... What about England 1966? Didn't the hosts HAVE to win as well?

[BlueLeopard200]

@fiofodiveia

england wasn't under a military dictatorship in 1966

yes england won and yes we don't know if that was over the line but it's not like other countries were intimidated to be in england

military juntas shouldn't be allowed to host world cups, end of story

[fiofodiveia]

@BlueLeopard200 hmm I get your point, and yes you might be right in respect to other teams feeling intimitated. In the 2001 Copa America held in Colombia, Argentina withdrew pointing out lack of safety, Brazil misteriously lost to super weak Honduras and were out of the Cup in the quarter-finals and not surprinsingly Colombia won the Cup. But, either ways, be it by strange forces out of the pitch, be it by tendentious refereeing(66) winning a Cup under these circunstances is not sportsmanship

[fiofodiveia]

@fiofodiveia Not to mention Mussolini's Italy world Champions in 1934... in Italy, Europe... Sorry, couldn't resist bringing this up!!

[fiofodiveia]

Spain was rightly punished for wearing such an awful jersey!! Bad taste is never forgiven. Now that they are back to something simple and beautiful(exactly for being simple) they are the righteous winners of the Euro. lol

[AIKsupporter]

@fiofodiveia

wtf r u talking about? this jersey is awesome.

[BlueLeopard200]

@fiofodiveia

you have bad taste

this jersey is so much cooler than a plain red one

who wants plain

[fqy1000]

england should have lost. spain made a goal by salinas

[stillkorcari37]

Did you see CHELSEA v BARCELONA last week?

That's FOOTBALL.

[Soniredoncp]

@fqy1000 that was offside

[aeiou333999]

Salinas is onside at 1:01 , Spain were robbed by the hosts, as usual.

Game should have been 0-1 and not penalty kicks.

[phildis88]

yeah thats rigged hard... but clearly the hosts are always gonna have the advantage with decisions going their way.. if those 2 disallowed goals were England plays, they wud hav been given as goals 4 sure

[ardila89]

salinas no es fuera de juegooo
