EURO 2008 Turkey: -last minute win against Switzerland -last minute win against Czech Republic -last second equalizer against Croatia -last minute lost against Germany in semi finals..
This game was just incredible. Turkey were the underdogs and had sooooo many injuries and suspensions if I remember correctly. They were playing like 5 or 6 reserve players and equalised with the last kick of the game. Just amazing
Correct. It was even worse in the next match against Germany. Lots of reserve players had to play and some of them even not in their original positions.
Putting the result aside, I can say this was one of the best matches I saw. It was intense the whole time, from start to finish with amazing plays! Both teams had wonderful players and were at their prime.
TheLonePatrol u guys are right. Here was when players wanted to play for their country and play with pride and passion but u look at turkey now its appauling to watch them coz none show passion when they play
+Marko Simurina but thats realy true look at the fans they pray every last game and at the last Match we get in last minute a goal because we stop to pray and think we are the Best Fotbol Club this was a good lesson for the hall Tournement
Afterwards he did go to the Croatian players though to cheer them up.. Remember every second. Was an awesome match! After all nice to see this Croatian team to be in the finals of the World Cup. Sadly srna and olic weren't there..
It sounds like a career-wrecking mistake. Yet, his voice sounds like a very familiar English one. For decades. Maybe that's why we can ignore this mistake. Who is he btw, anyone knows?
2018 WC finalists, 2022 semifinalists, 2023 nations league finalists. Great to see, Croatians succeed in the beautiful game - See you in Germany , from neighbour Slovenian
This is the first time I am watching footage of this match since 2008. It took 10 years for wounds to heal enough to watch it again, man we were so close we could have won that euro...
Those two national teams are the best friend rivals in football. I remember every Turk supported Crotia in any tournament as long as they are not against Turkey. It was like our second team.
Ooh, Turkey in Euro 2008... Or as they were known those days, "Heartbreak Hotel", because they won 3 straight games with late goals (well, 2, the 3rd they tied at the death & won on penalties)...
This match was the most painful match to watch for me. My favourite player Klasnic who just scored his first goal for croatia after returning from his long break due to kidney failure made me burst into tears, i was so happy until turkey equalized it and destroyed that perfect comeback. I'll never forget this game.

This has to end up on a sports highlight reels as one of the most epic losses in sporting history. Croatia had this locked up with mere seconds left in extra time and the Turks equalize with milliseconds left. The Croatian players went from complete euphoria and joy to abject shock in a matter fo minutes. Stunning loss.
Luka Modric missed the penalty against Turkey in Euro 2008. Now, in Qatar, he has been a hero scoring against Brazil by penalties and will play the semifinal.
Arash Ghanbari I remember being so happy after Turkey won on penalties. I really wanted Croatia to go out because they knocked England out of even getting into the euros! ;(
Even that day i knew Rakitic and Modric would be great stars so i was sad for them they lost the game. 10 years later we, Turkey, couldn't make it to World Cup finals , but I was there in Moscow supporting Croatians, watched matches among them, delighted to see Rakitic and Modric who played excellent during tournament and carried Croatia to final.
That was a great game indeed, my regards to all Turkish and Croatian players for giving their best. Hope our next game in Sunday will be good as this one.
That time, I was in Tunisia 🇹🇳 and I was supporting turkey’s team too much … I was saying, our Muslim brothers Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦, when I get my PR, I’ll visit Istanbul inshAllah
im a daughter of Turkish immigrants living in Vienna and let me tell you i was 10 years old back then. My mum spontaneously bought last minute tickets for the two of us from some random dude and we got in just minutes after the national hymns were sung! We won so closely and celebrated until the next day. the whole community was out on the streets celebrating and just having fun! it was an epic night. none of us knew it would be a legendary match! so thankful for the memories. thanks mum, i love you
That was the day three things happened. 1) My heart broke. I remember the room I was in, I remember the smell, I remember the heat, I remember my friend Neno crying, Kiko storming out, Milan and Nino standing in silence and I remember me putting my foot through the TV. That feeling of powerlessness, pain, lack of breath and then ANGER. Like someone kicked me in the nuts from behind. Plenty of that feeling was visible on anyone anywhere in the streets for a week. Since then I've never felt THAT excitement and joy when Croatian national team plays, not even in Russia. I was excited and joyfull, but not as much as before. 2) I swore to myself never to watch Croatian team play unless it's the knockout stage in world cup. I was not going to get kicked again. There were always some calculations around the team: "if that team wins we can play draw, but if we lose then another team has to win 3:0 and if that doesn't happen then....oh, our plans backfired. Pack your bags guys, we are going home again." My health got a lot better. 3) I learned a life lesson: Its not over until its over. No relaxing, no stopping and no celebrating until the things at hand are officially over. Turkey partly won because it's sooooo common in Croatia to do that mistake, not just in sports. What's great is that Croatian team learned that lesson too. It took them 10 years, but they learned. And won silver. That is how much of a milestone this game was and is for me.
10 years later Rakitic and Modric carries Croatia to THE World Cup semifinal by winning two consecutive penalty shoot out wins with rakitic scoring winning penalty in both. Who says life doesn't give you another chance ..? You have to keep fighting.Inspiration
I can't believe people call Modric overrated these days. This guy has been the engine behind all the teams he played for almost ten years. Spurs, Real, Croatia......in every team he was the driving force of the midfield and always so underrated. After the Ballon d'or, he's somehow overrated 😞
Even though Croatia have broken my heart on two occasions (World Cup semi final and in the qualifiers for this tournament) I just can’t dislike them one bit. For such a small country to produce so many brilliant players is some achievement! Much respect from England!
It was an amazing game and turkey definitely deserved it for their effort 😉 good luck to turkey but I hope that Croatia will take this one like they did in 2011
Vengo de fb donde vi q modric consuela a rodrigo y le dice q es valiente al patear el penal q lastimosamente fallo en qatar 2022 frente a croacia , modric dijo q el tb fallo un penal cuando enfrentaba a turquia en 2008 a su edad , tb dijo q eso lo fortalecera. Grande modric...
Metin Okkalı I am from Croatia but this was one of the best games I have ever watched.

I accept you my friend. Very exciting match played. Football is beautiful for this moments and victory and loss is part of this game. I like Croatians, they are nice people and my team's coach is a Croatian who Igor Tudor, he was a big stoper.
As a greek I may dislike Turkey up to some point but in that tournament they gave us some very fascinating and memorable matches. They always played attacking and agressive football and this was the reason i wanted them more in the 2006 world cup instead of the boring (as proved) Switzerland.
TheBlackywo0d these guys are nit Turkish they even have fake names look like Turkish nationalist but we have fake these kind a busturds. Pls don’t consider them like Turks
This tournament was beautiful for me as a Turk. You know. If you put so much heart into the play. You don't need to be the best team in the world. You can make a lot of victories. And get respect from all over the world. I miss Turkish team back in the day. 😢
and Luka Modric get scared when he has to kick a penalty since that game.. TURKIYE'YE SENI ÇOK SEVIYORUM. MEKSIKALIYIM AMA GÖNLÜM TÜRK OLUYOR.. HEP! HEP..
Am turkish, watched it live 🤯 My father wasn't doing very well at the time and he watched it with us.. After the 1:1, he went to the balcony. We told him the result very carefully after the game. I was so happy that we had won...
Turkey never makes it to majorly tourney ends but god when they do they show so much heart. They nearly beat Germany in the semis with literally like half of their first squad out on red cards and injuries
man i absolutely loved this turkish team in euro 2008, full of spirit and fight. especially the strikers they were in a zone. i still remember coming together with my moroccan family and supporting turkey like it was our country, haha amazing times!
Still remember this was the only match where I cried afterwards. Rewind 10 years forward and I cried after one more match, but that one was against England and they were happy tears :)
What is strange about Turkey is the further they go on a tournament the better they are, probably based on moral and thirst of victory pushing them to do their best until the last seconds ? In any case their level before and after entering a tournament change drastically.
Croat Here lol, bit Comgrats to Turkey, they had something special that year 2008. That coach had it all. Amazing. .. but Croatia 2018. became a world master of not only winning penalties shotout, but the mastery of NEVER GIVIN UP.. That golden generation of Croatia, they had had last chance, and almost champions of the world. I love them, soo much, thst generation
Bu maçı 9 yaşında memleketim Harbiye'de izlediğimi hatırlıyorum. Semih Şentürk o golü atınca şehir ayağa kalktı. Buraya ABD'ye taşınmadan önceki Türkiye'deki son günlerimden hatıralar. Şu anda çok şaşırtıcı olmasak da, 2000'lerin sonu bizim altın neslimizdi ve sonsuza kadar saklayacağım hatıralardan bazılarıydı. English Translation: I remember watching this game as a 9-year old in Harbiye, my hometown. When Semih Şentürk scored that goal, the city erupted. Memories of my last days in Turkey before we moved here to the US. Even though we're not considerably amazing now, the late 2000's were our golden generation and some of the memories I'll hold forever.
Man this is nostalgic. I remember watching this when I was barely 8. Amazing match, amazing tension. That one time that the Turks win something in Vienna.
Imagine you are turkish and your national team plays tournament like this. You simply cant forget the feelings you have got until you die. That was just how epic this is.
Knowing how good we were that tournament, topping a group with germany by 9 points, having a wonderful generation, and losing like that... I cried the whole night
Turkey's strategy in this tournament was "let them score first, then break their hearts in the dying minutes of the game."
Ahahahs
thats so true. but in the semifinal turkey scored first and eliminated.
@@enessahin4775 that’s because they didn’t follow the rules. Let them score first, then break their hearts. Instead, they let the Germans do that to them.

Vengo de fb donde vi q modric consuela a rodrigo y le dice q es valiente al patear el penal q lastimosamente fallo en qatar 2022 frente a croacia , modric dijo q el tb fallo un penal cuando enfrentaba a turquia en 2008 a su edad , tb dijo q eso lo fortalecera. Grande modric...

it was a glorious victory for my country :)
Metin Okkalı I am from Croatia but this was one of the best games I have ever watched.
I accept you my friend. Very exciting match played. Football is beautiful for this moments and victory and loss is part of this game. I like Croatians, they are nice people and my team's coach is a Croatian who Igor Tudor, he was a big stoper.

As a greek I may dislike Turkey up to some point but in that tournament they gave us some very fascinating and memorable matches. They always played attacking and agressive football and this was the reason i wanted them more in the 2006 world cup instead of the boring (as proved) Switzerland.
🇹🇷🤍🇬🇷
Thank you my greek neighbour.I remember 2004 I was 5 year old and we follwed the EM with Greece you were desvered Winner of Em🇹🇷🤝🇬🇷

TheBlackywo0d these guys are nit Turkish they even have fake names look like Turkish nationalist but we have fake these kind a busturds. Pls don’t consider them like Turks
@@canadianman1992 U can see now boi.Euro 2021
This tournament was beautiful for me as a Turk. You know. If you put so much heart into the play. You don't need to be the best team in the world. You can make a lot of victories. And get respect from all over the world. I miss Turkish team back in the day. 😢
and Luka Modric get scared when he has to kick a penalty since that game.. TURKIYE'YE SENI ÇOK SEVIYORUM. MEKSIKALIYIM AMA GÖNLÜM TÜRK OLUYOR.. HEP! HEP..
Thanks.I Am From Azerbaijan,But Azerbaijanis İs Turkish,I Love All Latins❤
We love mexico 🇹🇷 sağol kardeşim
Thanks man! We love Mexico too
Me to I hate living in nasty country ""Turkey ""
@@unknownuser-nc4uo nasty?? 😂😂😂 You call one of the world's tourism centers nasty
2008 is my fav Euro since 2000 and these matches are just good lessons for teams.
Am turkish, watched it live 🤯 My father wasn't doing very well at the time and he watched it with us.. After the 1:1, he went to the balcony. We told him the result very carefully after the game. I was so happy that we had won...
Turkey never makes it to majorly tourney ends but god when they do they show so much heart. They nearly beat Germany in the semis with literally like half of their first squad out on red cards and injuries
I remember this match. My cousin cried when croatia scored and she started to smile with tears after Semih’s goal.. WHAT A NIGHT! 🇹🇷
wonderful match back then! but croatia beat turkey now and they play well. we wish them best of luck for euro 2016! :)
SeyvdeSanz ❤️
man i absolutely loved this turkish team in euro 2008, full of spirit and fight. especially the strikers they were in a zone. i still remember coming together with my moroccan family and supporting turkey like it was our country, haha amazing times!
I poslije toliko vremena... Kakva patnja!
Love croation football players , big respect from turkey brothers !!!❤️
2:04 Ottoman Empire Activated
Today Modric and Rakitic redeemed themselves... 10 years later.
C N i cried all night after this game, worst nightmare for every Croat, and two days ago we were crying again... Proud to be Croat!!!
Ero S ovog svijeta I really hope you guys beat England!
C N They're outstanding players in the Croatian squad today! Very strong, fast paced and experienced!
C N Come on England! Knock Luka Modric and Co out of the World Cup!
But they will never forget this game😉
I havent seen another turkish team like that one since then
mikhail rascalov have a look at the Turkish team in 2002 world cup
We re back now
@@Ekermus o zamandan beri diyor en son buydu demek istemiş demiş yani
they seem to be back man
One of the greatest ever matches
Still remember this was the only match where I cried afterwards. Rewind 10 years forward and I cried after one more match, but that one was against England and they were happy tears :)
TURKEY RESPECT!!!
What is strange about Turkey is the further they go on a tournament the better they are, probably based on moral and thirst of victory pushing them to do their best until the last seconds ? In any case their level before and after entering a tournament change drastically.
2008 Modric & rakitic : hold your anger
2019 modric & rakitic : hold my beer
Wc yea
Turkey 🇹🇷 😍thank you crotia 🇭🇷 for Amazing match👍
Rustu was a keeper who can make his team loose a game or win alone. This was the game he did both at the same time
A game to never forget, Rustü was badass and Turkey deserved that cup!
I watched this after we got on quarter final in WC 2018. Finally we pass this unlucky stage for us on the tournament.
Croat Here lol, bit Comgrats to Turkey, they had something special that year 2008. That coach had it all. Amazing. .. but Croatia 2018. became a world master of not only winning penalties shotout, but the mastery of NEVER GIVIN UP.. That golden generation of Croatia, they had had last chance, and almost champions of the world. I love them, soo much, thst generation
Bu maçı 9 yaşında memleketim Harbiye'de izlediğimi hatırlıyorum. Semih Şentürk o golü atınca şehir ayağa kalktı. Buraya ABD'ye taşınmadan önceki Türkiye'deki son günlerimden hatıralar. Şu anda çok şaşırtıcı olmasak da, 2000'lerin sonu bizim altın neslimizdi ve sonsuza kadar saklayacağım hatıralardan bazılarıydı.
English Translation: I remember watching this game as a 9-year old in Harbiye, my hometown. When Semih Şentürk scored that goal, the city erupted. Memories of my last days in Turkey before we moved here to the US. Even though we're not considerably amazing now, the late 2000's were our golden generation and some of the memories I'll hold forever.
You gotta love turkey, wish they would be in euro or world cups more often. Greetings from germany
God Modric has been such a soldier for his country.
Yes yes
Man this is nostalgic. I remember watching this when I was barely 8. Amazing match, amazing tension. That one time that the Turks win something in Vienna.
zhshah absolutely true after this match we were talking about this time we will be able to conquer Vienna😂😂
lol
The last minutes of overtime are legendary and a piece of evidence you should never give up or celebrate too early.
The only game I ever cry for my favorite team Croatia 🇭🇷 10 years after that they gave us so much joy.
Love from Việt Nam 🇻🇳
Thank You,Love From Turkey🇹🇷
@@orucbabazad3898 I think he said thank you to croatia
Imagine you are turkish and your national team plays tournament like this. You simply cant forget the feelings you have got until you die. That was just how epic this is.
came here after the two EU games 🥺 2008 gibi olcak dedim bu sene ya resmen hayal kırıklığı
We came back stronger....and now we are in World Cup final. Cmooon Vatreni
CrunchyNapkin congrats bro🇹🇷
This Game was the reason I started watching football, forever grateful 😊
Knowing how good we were that tournament, topping a group with germany by 9 points, having a wonderful generation, and losing like that... I cried the whole night
