Yes, you say say that, but they went though the group stages because they scored more than Spain, who had the same goal difference and points. Greece actually conceded 4 goals in the group stages. But the defence was terrific in the next stages.
If favorites won every single competition, football wouldn't be that interesting. It's underdog wins that make everyone watching this beautiful game to believe that every boundary can be pushed and given the hard work, everyone can win.
Zidane can do anything -heading -volley -penalty(he never missed) -freekick -long shot -dribble 4/5 players - unbelievable ball control And best is he can control a whole match by his own against any big team in any match
@@petitben5240 No one? Ronaldo outshine him before they "poison" him and started to get injured. Del Piero was the best player at Juve with Zidane in it. Zidane is a product of "marketing" and they overhyped everything he do. The man barely score and assist double digit a season and he still won those balon dor's because he was playing in a great Juve side and a great French side taking those penalties and claim all the glory lmao. Dont be angry, it doesnt mean he's a bad player, he's just a hypejob. If he's the best Real Madrid should have won 3 in a row UCL's or atleast twice but he didnt. Peace...
What a penalty by Beckham absolutely world class what a goal blame Gerrard because beckham missed the penalty when it was time to kill the game so there is no way back for France then what a hit by beckham
kirat kirat So if you were born in Japan you would be a japanese ? Interesting. Honestly I don’t care about Zidane and people who choose to play for France. They are just traitors to the nation, we had a lot of them for 132 years, we know this kind of people. Only a stupid Algerian can think that a traitor playing for the French flag is worthy of respect.
Zidane is the best. That match shows us what all about a big game player is ? Zidane always dominated in the big matches. He single-handedly turned the lost match into a victory. He is something else.
Not single-handedly. It's impossible in team sport like football. Bartez played his part saving French from 2-0. Then other players forced Gerrard to play ball to Henry who earned pen. Zidane just converted pen.
And Greece deserved it. They beat France fair and square. They beat Portugal who was the host, twice. They beat the golden generation of Czech, with a bit luck but deservedly. And they drew England in an away match 2 years before this tournament.
You gotta respect that especially when you know there are some strikers, great ones mind you, that just refuse to track back or commit to any form of defending.
@@juve96 he would have been better stay ready upfront. Its his job to attack and be ready for any counter attack opportunity. If he track all the way back like he did, he would missed the advantage. Every second counts, there is a reason why those great attackers refuse to track back. They know exactly what they are doing.
This was the game that confirmed to me that Zidane is among the greatest of all times. Those two goals were scored in extremely high pressure situations and he handled both like a G.O.A.T and put England to the sword.
+Jeremy Merrifield i know lmao. I never understood why people thought these players like beckham,rooney, lampard, gerrard were good they were all over rated af
+You Mad The 2 captains says it all. Z .Z against Beckham. Who I believe was the most over rated player in my life time. But the media loved him so everyone was scared to tell the truth .

@@jazzymars30 you do realize that if Beckham had scored that pen it would have been a different game right? Think about the mentality when you are 2 goals down against England at that time.
Could have put 2 keepers in there, wouldn't have made a difference. And Zidane didn't bottle it in 2006 didn't he? As a footballer Zizou was on another planet compared to Beckham, there's no comparison between the two. But as captains for their national team, both had major flaws.
in the euro 2004 , England was not Greece .. France and _zidane of big bald_ were just lucky when they reached semi final ... so very logical if Greece was be champion
Argylberg Yes he Was a great header! Thats why he scored TWO HEADERS on his first world Cup final in 1998 ;) unlike Fressi who have not scored any goal in 4 finals with his NT 😂
I'm French. I remember this game...Even after Barthez stopped Beckham's penalty, we really thought it was impossible to score. But we had a joker called Zidane. All was possible with him. This guy was Jesus. At this time, England was really strong. I'm sorry you could not win a tournament. It's unbelievable you could not even reach a final, because you really had a great team during the late 90's/early 2000's, with Beckham, Shearer, Gascoigne, Owen, Scholes, McManaman, Ince, Ferdinand, and later Rooney, Lampard... By the way, when I was a kid, my first soccer jersey was a three lions/Owen one. What a player he was.
Nice to see a friendly post on here - makes a nice change! Yes, if Beckham had converted that penalty, England would probably have won and who knows after that, it was a winnable tournament. But Zizou was the man for the moment again (as in 1998 final).
I remember France had the majority of shots in this game, but England always looked the more threatening team on the break. Then Sven-Goran Eriksson subbed Owen and Rooney for Emile Heskey and Darius Vassell.
I just thought that Gregory Coupet should have been in goals @2006 W/C.Bartez was a bundle nerves especially in the final against Italy.He couldn't save a single penalty to take off the pressure from the France penalty takers! .
Fact~Zidane was not well and was vomiting in the last 10 minutes of game.Still he managed to score a beautiful free kick and penalty to win the match for france.Great zizou.
0:54 the way Beckham got the ball out was a masterpiece! He didn't kick the ball out randomly he meant to give it to his teammate so in one touch he got the ball out of his box and launched a counter attack for his team Which led to a penalty nd when u take into consideration the fact that he was under the opposition's pressure while doing that, it's really impressive.
Zidane was exhausted at the end and he had drank a lot (of water), so you can see him vomiting just before the penalty at 2:22. Still was able to score it easily.
Zidane was already a BIG LEGEND before that game. He already won the world cup in 1998 (2 goals in finals), the European league in 2000 (best player of the tournament), the Champion's league in 2001 (with a phenomenal goal in final), the ballon d'or!
@Gary Faircloth I'm A Believer that Cruyff is the most Purest, Eusebio the fastest, Ronaldinho the flashiest, Pelè is the Smartest and most well known!
@Gary Faircloth oh yeah let me guess you think it's Messi ahahaha he can't accomplish anything at international level only played club at Barca what a disappointment
I remeber this match, I had 12 years old... In first time on this tournament I heard about Rooney, Lampard, Cristiano Ronaldo etc. And I loved this ball "roteriro". It was a first Euro which I watched as aware fan of football. Fantastic era. Sorry for my english, but I learn ;)
+Powerarmed Beckham's error (or shall I say Barthez's save from him) led to not winning all the group games, Gerrard's ridiculous howler ultimately knocked us out, we would've preferred Greece in the QF. Besides it was Beckham who made Lampard's goal in the first place and still I can admit Beckham had an unusually bad tournament but you have to also admit that Gerrard always had poor performances in major tournaments with England.
If you remember this match you most certainly remember Zidane throwing up on the pitch as he's about to take the penalty. The man was sick w fever & still produced that performance in extra time! Just a true fking Legend!
You see in 2:22 minutes zidane free kick in a relaxed way kick the ball, really very loud sliding straight perfectly up sticky in the net. He's really a dangerous player zidane
No wonder it really took France several years after WC 2006 before they finally found their foot at the world stage again. A player of Zizou's calibre does not come every week.
I’ll never forget this match, my family visited my grandfather in the hospital, we watched the whole game, in the 89th minute my parents decided to go as visiting hours were over soon and as an Irish family they didn’t want to stick around to see England win. We got back to the car, turned it on and the radio went “and in sports news, France have had a late comeback to beat England 2-1....” we couldn’t believe it.
+CorinOfAzaleaTown There's more to that list, Gerrard did mess up big time in Euro2004 and WorldCup2014 but he also missed a massively important penalty in WorldCup 2006 which would've put England ahead in the shootout (then his fellow Liverpool friend missed after him as well, hence elimination) he was hopeless at Wembley vs Croatia in the last qualifying game for Euro2008 where England lost when only needing a draw and we would've obviously preferred to rely on other players but there were many big players missing for the game i.e Rooney, Ferdinand, Terry, AshleyCole etc... but that also gave him a chance to finally step up and deliver for England and you would've thought the captain's armband in that game and what was at stake would inspire him enough but it didn't, Beckham came on as a 2nd half sub and did so much more than Gerrard managed in the whole match (I wouldn't have continued involving Gerrard in the England team much from then on but if he was going to still be picked that definitely should've been his last appearance as captain but he was allowed to captain England after that in THREE tournaments????? just to continue fucking up). WorldCup 2010 the whole team were poor so I can't single him out on that one (but he still couldn't inspire the team like people keep saying is apparently a strength of his just because Liverpool fluked 2 cups).
This game sums up the English 'Golden Generation' perfectly. Loads of quality but a bunch of toothless bottle jobs. This current era of English players may be not be as 'prolific' and world class, but they give everything and have a backbone.
Agreed on Zidane being the better player, but I disagree on everything else you've said. It's dangerous to judge a players career solely on their international career, Zidane won trophies with France but he arguably had a better (and definitely more balanced) team than England. Zidane was phenomenal at Euro 2000 and in the final of France '98 but in the latter tournament he didn't get up to much before the final, getting sent off in a group game for a crazy stamp on a player and missing the next two games.
@@saturne2839 So what if I never saw Pele play⁉️🥴 I've watched many of his videos. His stats speak for themselves. He's revered as one of the few best to play the game, and scored over 1,000 goals in his professional career. Like to see u do better. So why don't u STFU, aye⁉️😳🥴
Beckham and Barthez were teammates for years in MUtd. Why Beckham didn't let anyone else to score from the penalty spot? Barthez saved it, that was no surprise.
Gerrard had that notorious quirk indeed. But the goalkeeper intervention is lame and fuzzy, he just hands Henry a penalty. Îm sure he was still thinking about the free kick.
England back then always did it to themselves. It was always uncanny. They’d have an opportunity to really give themselves breathing space such as a penalty, open goal scoring and they never ever took them in the major tournaments every single time. I think the team was full of egos and all of them had an inferiority complex when it came to bigger teams.
@@davidhartley9115 Yh deffo right. I also think the fact there’s not enough criticism for their consistent failure. Neville and wright were saying they should be proud after the defeat. 😂
Zidane played most of his career behind the striker as an AM!! He became a CM in his last stage of career. Also don't get your point of assists? Beck's clearly has more than Zizou
See the difference between two players. One cannot convert penalty into goal that too when his side was leading 1-0 and the other one converted a free kick into goal when his side was 0-1 down and also converted a penalty into goal when he had to.
zizou was only French player that night, he was sublime!! |I was 10 didn't know much about him, but he is was France's only player that night. I was in awe of him from then. Best ever player for me. Legend
Still can't believe Greece won the Euros that year
They were playing great (Defence wise)
Yes, you say say that, but they went though the group stages because they scored more than Spain, who had the same goal difference and points. Greece actually conceded 4 goals in the group stages. But the defence was terrific in the next stages.

the big difference between Zidane and Beckham. One is good the other is great, Zidane bring his country to win the world cup and the euro.
Agreed on Zidane being the better player, but I disagree on everything else you've said. It's dangerous to judge a players career solely on their international career, Zidane won trophies with France but he arguably had a better (and definitely more balanced) team than England. Zidane was phenomenal at Euro 2000 and in the final of France '98 but in the latter tournament he didn't get up to much before the final, getting sent off in a group game for a crazy stamp on a player and missing the next two games.
1:00 Just look at the amount of ground Thierry Henry makes up tracking back on Rooney. That man is a cheetah !
Combined with his amazing skill and technique it's no wonder he destroyed the Premier League for years. Totally suited to that league.
France kicking English asses since 2004.
Patrick Holmes bollocks
Let’s not forget that France were getting fucked by Germany in both world wars

I remember watching this with my dad RIP we both was so mad that we didn’t even speak after the game good old days
Vive la France 🇫🇷
Allez les bleues ❤️🇫🇷⭐️⭐️🏆🏆🇫🇷❤️
That's exactly the difference in class between English "legends" and Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane and Barthez absolute heroes but what a collapse by England.😥😂😂
Zidane the legend
I like to watch these videos (EURO 2000-2004), I like to remember when God of football used to play, Zidane!
Zidane was never God of Football. That mantle belongs to either only Maradona and Pelé.
Gustavo González me too brother big fan of Zizou
@@shanethemuzz5060 you talk about Pele and you never watched him play stfu
@@saturne2839 So what if I never saw Pele play⁉️🥴 I've watched many of his videos. His stats speak for themselves. He's revered as one of the few best to play the game, and scored over 1,000 goals in his professional career. Like to see u do better. So why don't u STFU, aye⁉️😳🥴
International football is not like this these days
Zinedine Zidane 👍👍👍👍 best of the best!
Beckham and Barthez were teammates for years in MUtd.
Why Beckham didn't let anyone else to score from the penalty spot? Barthez saved it, that was no surprise.
Lampard scored and Gerrard back-passed to Henry. 'Nuff said.
Gerrard played better than Lampard for the whole game
Gerrard played better than Lampard for the whole game
@U Y Lampard had a better career than Slippy
Gerrard had that notorious quirk indeed. But the goalkeeper intervention is lame and fuzzy, he just hands Henry a penalty. Îm sure he was still thinking about the free kick.
England back then always did it to themselves. It was always uncanny. They’d have an opportunity to really give themselves breathing space such as a penalty, open goal scoring and they never ever took them in the major tournaments every single time. I think the team was full of egos and all of them had an inferiority complex when it came to bigger teams.
And to this day England still do it to themselves.
Serial bottlers.
@@tyrellking6332 I’m right tho arent i. Last night had that one penalty to draw level to take it to extra time and again the same thing happens
@@davidhartley9115 Yh deffo right.
I also think the fact there’s not enough criticism for their consistent failure.
Neville and wright were saying they should be proud after the defeat. 😂
Gerrard has been a gift to opponents from an early age
Ohh Zedane, that's why I love you...
Zizou never misses in topic moments
it's why Zidane > Beckham
Beckham great player but Zidane is in another league.
How can you even compare a winger to a CM ?!?
Mahone how can a CM have more assists and goals than a winger 😂
Zidane played most of his career behind the striker as an AM!! He became a CM in his last stage of career. Also don't get your point of assists? Beck's clearly has more than Zizou
not even close
Good old England, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
See the difference between two players. One cannot convert penalty into goal that too when his side was leading 1-0 and the other one converted a free kick into goal when his side was 0-1 down and also converted a penalty into goal when he had to.
Zidane the ONLY ONE!!!!!!
Zidane makes every other player on the pitch look like amateurs
Steven Gerald was one of the major assist providers for king Theiry Henry
zizou was only French player that night, he was sublime!! |I was 10 didn't know much about him, but he is was France's only player that night.
I was in awe of him from then. Best ever player for me. Legend
Zidane is actually algerian,not french. 95% of "french" team are from Africa.
Yes and all the "brown" players of England are English I guess?
The only French player? Wtf are you on about, no very smart it seems judging by your comment
After this game, becham asked zidane shirt and post it on the wall in his room.
For someone so good at freekicks becks wasnt a good penalty taker at all
What a match from zizou 😍😍💙💙
One of the craziest Matches of all Time what ive Seen life. Unbelievable
Barthez best french keeper ever
Lama ...
Barthez is not fit to clean Darui's boots.
He is legend to me 👍
One of the few France origin player in France national team.
