Netherlands 2-0 England (1993) WCQ

- England's World Cup qualification hopes are dealt a shattering blow as they lose 2-0 away to Holland in October 1993. In what is effectively a winner takes all clash, Graham Taylor is left furious with the referee over his failure to send off Ronald Koeman for hauling down a goalbound David Platt - Koeman going on to put the Dutch ahead before Dennis Bergkamp settles it. Earlier Holland's Frank Rijkaard had controversially had a goal ruled out for offside. England's only hope of qualifying would now be if the Dutch lost away to Poland and they thrashed San Marino in the final game.
(Properly watching this match for the first time in over 20 years, I'd forgotten just how open this game actually was given so much was at stake. England carved out several decent opportunities and the Dutch, with flying wingers Overmars and Roy, always looked dangerous going forward - that save in the second half by David Seaman to deny Rijkaard from point blank range was tremendous but ultimately long since forgotten due to the result). - กีฬา
Rijkaard literally three yards onside and being played on by no less than three players 😂
I’m from Liverpool, England. This was the first match I ever watched in full. I was 9 years old, nearly 10. Nobody else I knew was into football, so I had to do it all myself. What a match to start on eh? 28 years ago…. Crazy.
Wow!! Those were the days when legends like Bergkamp,Overmars, Rijkaard and Koeman were the pride of Dutch football!!
Yes and not as good as they could with Van Bastien and Gullit not playing
@@Dante-vf4sd crazy if Gullet never fell out with management he would have still been playing for Orangé into the WC 1994
That England side was dreadful wasn't it? Dorigo and Palmer.....😩
I watched this as an 11 year old with my Dad. When I asked him 'Dad, is football always like this?' He simply replied 'Basically, yes'.
JoeWizzard if your an England fan then the answer is always 'YES!'
Carlos Vazquez freak lol 😂😁😂
Can vouch for that as a Newcastle United fan....
from the moment the dutch reinvented the game
I was watching this game as a 13 year old boy with my father. I remembered this game as England being the better team.
"He's gonna flick one now."
The late great brian moore had been watching the dutch in training the day before and saw koeman practising freekicks. He knew from the run up what he was going to do.
Brian Moore was my favourite commentator.
RIP Graham Taylor...
Yes. He was an excellent manager and a hell of a nice guy.
You see the best and the worst of Seaman in this match. His reflex saves from Bergkamp and then immediately from Rijkaard were world class. But his positional sense was ALWAYS suspect! Anything over his head and he was instantly beaten.
Just like WC 2002 against Brazil lol.
Nayim
Gazza 1991, but I think Seaman would get caught out because of something happening he didn't expect.
@@alwilfrid If I am not mistaken in a game against a Spanish club, a player volleyed the ball almost from half the field, and as you said Seaman not expecting it, was beaten!
Agreed. He constantly got done onn free kicks and long range shots. All the evidence is there in years worth of footage. Great shot stopper but vastly overrated. Nigel Martyn from 97-02 was much better yet was ALWAYS second fiddle.
Just imagine if VAR was in place then. Rijkaard's goal would have stood and Koeman would've been sent off.
On a sidenote : Brian Moore, one of the best commentators we've ever had in English broadcasting.
@Hannibal Barca - As long as we're speculating, Bergkamp would probably have gone crazy and scored a hat trick, and England would have gone out that way!
@@wiseonwords Yes, pretty useless to speculate. So let me join you guys :) If VAR was in place back then I'm pretty sure a player like Koeman would've been able to adapt & make different choices altogether. Different times, for sure. That's all there is to it, imo. Let's all end in agreement that Brian Moore was a brilliant commentator at least.
true entirely differnt match the referee and linesmen were crap by any standards
Var is shit
How was England's free kick not retaken and Koeman's was (with a yellow card for encroachment)?
I was 9 watching this game at my grandparents, gutted we lost, first real footballing disappointment knowing we weren't going to the world cup.
I never get tired of watching this game, lol
Koeman not getting sent off and it not being a penalty is the most bent thing I have ever seen in Football.
More bent than Henry's hand balls against Ireland in 2009?
And the other Koeman should've been sent off for the king fu kick on Parker
Frank was 2 metres onside when he scored
@@MrCrazyrob666 Did you know that the Irish FA put in complaint about the Handball , But IFA offerd the Irish 3 Million quid not to , because as Blatter said France would be a bigger name in the finals than Ireland
It was never a penalty foul started outside the box....but yes koeman should have seen red all day
Rijkaard is an amazing guy, not a word though he surely knew he wasn't offside.
Ik had the pleasure playing with him in Abcoude veteran team in Amsterdam the year before he signed as Barcelona coach.
Fantastic man on and off the pitch.
Not back then, but later after Rudi and Frank were in a Dutch butter commercial on Dutch tv they became great friends.
Can't remember much about this game but watching it again brings back a lot of memories of these days. The greatest stadium in the Netherlands 'De Kuip' in Rotterdam, still not renovated. De Goey at goal, even John de Wolf in orange. Pretty amazing.
Feyenoord!
Player for player the Netherlands were better than us. Some of our players should never have been close to an England shirt. Sinton, Palmer are the two obvious ones. Seaman at fault for the second goal. Those shots must be saved at international level.
A dark period for Englif football
🇨🇱🇳🇱 Gigantes del fútbol mundial. Merecen ser Campeones del mundo por todos sus logros. Tengan fé hermanos Holandeses que un día serán los Campeones de mundo. Viva Holanda y Viva Chile !!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
It may be too late, football, sadly, has regressed, effort and hard work having overtaken skill and intelligence. The “pressing” tactics so prevalent in modern football are suffocating the game. The denial of time and space, allied to increased fitness levels, mean the best players being either discouraged or constantly thwarted in attempts to display their skills. The great international teams of the last fifty years - West Germany (1972), Netherlands (1974), Yugoslavia (1976), both Brazil and France (1982), Russia (1986), and Spain (2010), are but endearing, albeit distant, memories.
Even after these years, I have zero respect for Koemam. Assenmacher had the worst referee performance in the history of the game. Was banned by fifa from ever refereeing again. Fifa owes England a public apology for this debacle.
Limey cunts being sore losers as always.
Chyba żarty sobie robisz Anglia z taką gra nic by nie wygrała na mundialu
We should thank the ref for getting rid of Taylor. Heaven forbid we still had him at Euro 96
“Refs just got me the sack . Thank you ever so much “
You must be joking hahaha, and what about Rijkaard's goal, which was canceled due to offside, and a penalty kick for the Netherlands, similar to that demanded by the English... The referees were not at a good level, but do not say that the English were wronged. 😏
'He's going to flick one now'. Brian Moore, amazing commentator
great comment because I thought the same - but he said or predicted that flick seconds before Koeman did.....barry davies and brian moore the best.
Seamans positioning at Koemans free kick is ridiculous.
Spot on, seaman left acres of room for Keoman...chronic positioning
It's awful, he was never attacked for it either..
In those years, to quantify to the WC, was so tough
I can remember watching the game with my late parents RIP and I was feeling very sick so you can imagine a sick bucket for me and two caring parents all watching the football at the same time.
Everybody seems to forget the 100% goal of Rijkaard. 05:33.
Yeah to be fair Holland were a much, much better team than us at this time
That is the worst decision by a linesman I've ever seen, not only is he about 3 yards onside, there are three defenders playing him on!
Oooh, my goodness!
Sélective memory isn't it?
it was mentioned when Koeman should have gotten a red card.
All in all, it was a great match. England was very close to several goals.
This game was won by the stars that Netherlands had in those days. Koeman, Rijkaard, Bergkamp.
England played really well that night.. and as for the ref he never refereed another international
Good.
@@r4h4al Yeah, his performance was atrocious... 28 years later and watching this now and it’s still just as bad. I like the way for the England free kick the Dutch player blocking is nothing like 10 yards, he gives nothing and then 2 minutes later he gives Ince a yellow card and a retake for the same thing at the other end... What a joke!
Ingurland did play well - like they did against Croatia, Italy, Iceland, Belgium B Team . . . . . . . 😂 😂
Out of all of the shambolic performances under Graham Taylor England actually played pretty well this night but the damage was done with atrocious performances earlier in the qualifying campaign. The ref was just hopeless but when you fail to beat Norway home and away and you're stuck in a winner takes all game like this anything can happen
Exactly. The same scenario happened under Steve McLaren failure to beat Macedonia at home and Israel away which left a winner takes all game against Croatia!
SuperBillKill .SuperBillKill even though the guy didn’t get the respect he deserved . He was a hopeless manager . The English always crying about the supposed penalty , yet they got extremely lucky with that cheap penalty in Italia 90 with Belgium .
@@seduxtive776 it wasn't a penalty
what a great player Bergkamp was!!!
Yeah, his technical ability holds up to this day. Class of his own.
How this dutch team with such a legendary players couldn’t win any throphy...
Great commentator. He understood the game
Had totally forgotten about Bergkamp's goal. Glorious stuff
Wow， 90‘s Bergkamp was just too good , alomost every old matches I review now via internet he scored balls and had several threanteining chances.
I was 11 too in '93 watching it on TV with my dad! Looking back now, I don't think I've ever witnessed a game since with so much controversy and drama... so many incidents: Rijkaard's 'goal' should have stood in the first half; Ronald Koeman should have clealy been sent off though it's debatable whether his foul was inside the area; the free kick should also have been retaken as Wouters was about 2 yards away when Dorigo hit it; his brother should have seen red for his foul (almost like Nigel De Jong on Xavi Alonso!) on Parker; and Pallister's foul looked inside the box too!! If any game summed up England in my lifetime, this is it. Thanks for the upload dude.
It's not debatable whether his foul was inside the area - it's either in or it's out and it's clearly fucking out. Still love watching this game and hearing the English piss and moan.
robby rensenbrink
For a country thats had so many talented players youve won surprisingly little.
eddie lasowsky I couldn't agree more.
*****
Call it unlucky if ya like. Personally speaking i think the Dutch team shits itself in finals and pussies out ;)
*****
Yeah we invented the game, but that doesnt make us a great footballing nation. When it comes to winning we are almost embarrased. What has happened is that the liberal elite has made Englishness synonymous with racism, subjugation, empire. Look at the independence debate in Scotland, all the time England is being blamed for Scotlands lack of prosperity. In this climate our footballers who put the shirt on don't care because theyve been told not to care by outside elements. You might think i'm over dramatising, but as an international team we are finished.
This represented the lowest time for me family my mother was diagnosed with cancer my dad was made redundant from his bank then England lost and did not go to the world cup from 1993 the only way was up for me and life is now so much greater the 1990s were a disaster for alot of people 😊
So many great players on both sides and lots of drama in this game! Can imagine England expected one or two red cards for NL, then they've hit the post twice. Then, NL having denied a beautiful goal from Rijkaard. In the end, for England, with strikers as Overmars, Roy, Bergkamp and Rijkaard coming from midfield, it was just a little bit too much top-quality to hold off and it made the difference in this game, I think.
Not an England fan by any means but how did Koeman stayed in the game after that is beyond unthinkable, red card all day
How was that clear goal from rijkaard disallowed?
Funny that the England coach doesn't talk about the referee mistake knowing that it was a fair goal by Rijkaard. Bergkamp was better then a lot of Dutch people think.
"Bergkamp was better than a lot of Dutch people [thought]," as Arsenal discovered to their eternal gratitude the following season!
It's one thing to get the split second offside decision wrong. It's entirely another to miss a red card sending off. That's not a split second decision but a deliberation that was cowardly because he just didn't want to make a big call. Instead he didn't give a penalty and he didn't give the deserved and obvious red.
After Cruyff, the next best three Dutch players of all time are Bergkamp, van Basten and Rensenbrink
@@chrisearl4440 I would have it van Basten, Berkamp and Rensenbrink, but all three were brilliant.
marty dav and I would put Ruud Krol in at number 5. Another brilliant player!
When you look at this match in hindsight you wonder how these Referees make the decisions that they do . Rykards goal should have stood . Koeman should have been sent off as should the Dutch number 5 for that tackle on Parker , but what annoys me most is , after Koeman pulls Platt down , from the resulting Free Kick , before the ball is even kicked there's a Dutch defender about 4 yards from the ball , it hits him and Holland go on the attack and the Ref does nothing about it . Yet when Holland get a Free Kick , as Koeman kicks the ball Ince does exactley the same thing moves before the ball is kicked , gets booked and the kick is retaken from which Koeman scores . Inconsistancy
I’m Scottish, but not here to wind anyone up. It’s when I see footage like this that I realise just how unlucky England have been over the years. Unreal!
And Euro ‘96 all the way up to 2018 WC.
The dutch football education is to strong for kick and Rush England.
@@tj2645 to be honest, Theo, I think England have an extremely technical side now. They will be a real force at the Euros. I just hope that they have an off day against Scotland 🤣
@@EKcyclist you'r right mate.
Koeman should have been sent off. The freekick, a Dutch guy encroached - the guy was 4 metres away when it hit him!
Koeman retaken freekick... after Ince encroachment...
England hit woodwork twice
You know it's really not your day
Nie zapominaj o prawidłowym golu Rijkarda
Would love to watch this match in its entirety with the wonderful ITV commentary
what a game ,miss it dont no where I was that time,thanks anaway,s
As a Dutch guy I admit Ronald Koeman should have been sent off, but this just goes to show that some referees don't know what they're doing or how to "implement" the rules...
Definitely a red card.
PARTITA RUBATA IN TOTO! BASTARDI! ARBITRO ROTTO IN KULO
It's absolutely unbelievable that a player of Bergkamp's quality didn't prove successful in Inter Milan. In the role he played in this game, he was unstoppable. England was lucky that he was more wasteful than normal. The pass for Rijkaard was sublime.
Yeah I don't understand that either. He could have had a hatrick in this game with a bit more shooting accuracy. Fantastic player.
They played defensively, that would stymie Bergkamps skills, isolate him and reduce passing options. That's how it didn't work out
@@nathanrobinson1099 yes same against Brasil Bergkamp has been isolated in 98
He felt not good in Italy. Then can't perform.
Marco van Basten 🇱🇺 What a player he was 1st Class 💯👏💯
He wasn't even playing.
That's the Luxembourg flag
Exactly@@realmrpoopybutthole7587
I still remember when Graham Taylor reacted to that Ronald Koeman's tackle to David Platt: "REFEREEEEEEEEEEEE! REFEREEEEEEEEEEEE!" (As seen on Do I Not Like That)
I always thought there was something weird about Koemans free kick goal, its not like any other free kick Ive seen...then I looked at Seamans positioning...wtf!
The 1994 World Cup was the first one I saw. I remember asking my dad "Dad, where's England?" when we were watching the games together. He answered "My boy, England is the most overhyped and the most overrated nation in football". I learned one of the biggest truths of football that summer.
norway winning the group was what screwed it for england, meant only one or holland and england was going to qualify
I remember this game, the time period and in hindsight that was not a bad English team and Graeme Taylor deserved more out this. They could have easily scored 4 goals against the Dutch. I think the bridge has been crossed and England is right up there today.
@HKKL
Seedorf would be the best midfielder today
england was cheated to deny them a place at the world cup
@HKKL Look at the career of Clarence Seedorf...
Que grandes partidos por aquellas épocas.
6:26 Penalty and sending off offence and 7:55 sending off offence
Definitely a red card 7:55... Disgraceful refereeing!
A travesty of a refereeing performance.
1) Dutch goal disallowed even though three players are playing the scorer onside.
2) Koeman not sent off.
3) England's FK charged down by a player much closer than the maximum allowed ten yards.
4) The Dutch should have been given a penalty (though seeing as Koeman scored the resulting FK, justice perhaps).
4) Still a wrong decision - wasn't a foul, Pallister made a perfectly good tackle.
@@r4h4al they don't care. An English player commited it lol
Yes, u are brillant. England lost for sure~
brilliant free kick by Ronald. No dynamite. Velvet touch.
I was in the stadium with a Dutch friend and sitting amongst the Dutch supporters. The referee has got to be the worst I've ever seen a disallowed Dutch goal and two red cards what a disgrace 😤 The irony of koeman not being sent off and then 5 minutes later scoring still makes me feel sick 😢
Gotta love the English crybabys 28 years on. :D
Both Koemans should have seen red. I have to say that I had forgotten about Erwin Koemans 'challenge' but he was lucky the referee had such a bad night.
@@kebabtank bang on you are. The second one by his shittier brother is worth two red cards.
I remember watching it live as a fifteen year old and thinking that I am gutted but 'Taylor' was unlucky
Ian Wright not starting for England in 1993 with his Arsenal form was criminal.
Goooner N4: he was injured for this game. He would have started otherwise.
I still can't believe how poor the positioning is of Seaman for that free kick!! Ludicrous.
I still can't believe seaman didn't clock Koeman was gonna loop it over the wall, commentator kept saying it it was obvious
His stance was all wrong..Shilton would never under the decline set in would never have been done like that..
This was probably our best performance under Graham Taylor.
Better than the 1-1 v Brazil in Washington?
@@stephenfarrell77 I'd say so.Not result wise but really unlucky,especially considering Koeman shouldn't have been on the pitch when he scored after denying us a golden opportunity.
Brian Moore knew exactly what Koeman was going to do with that free kick o.O
and what the fuck was Seaman's positioning at that free kick all about??
Seamen had a shocker there.
Worst referee EVER !!!!
1- Frank Rijkaard's goal should have been given. He was 5 meters behind the line when the pass was made.
2- Ronald Koeman's foul was out of the penalty area, yet he rules it in. The linesman had to tell him otherwise.
3- Ronald Koeman had to be dismissed (red card) since he was the last man and Platt was facing the goalkeeper to score.
4- Edwin Koeman should have given a red card and a some jail time for that flying kick, yet he only receives a warning.
5- Wouters blocked Dorigo's free kick by putting himself 3 meters from the ball and the referee didn't sanction him, yet he does it when Ince blocks Koeman's free kick.
maybe your right, but it doesnt matter, the dutch would have won anyway.
Bergkamps goal should've been disallowed also for a hand ball.
Hes gonna flick one now ....he's gonna flick one , HES GONNA FLICK ONE ..AND ITS IN !!! - Classic stuff from Brian Moore
What was Seaman doing....
@@waynemarshall8836 In fairness to Seaman it should never have been a free kick; no foul.
Top notch commentary from the greatest of them all.
@@r4h4al yes it was a foul, and probably should have been a penalty instead
@@jonblazeinc Even though he won the ball.
I love it ..you'll never walk alone being played 👌👌👌
Another game without Matt Le Tessier 😔
I find it hard to believe that the officiating against Holland for both ties was this selectively incompetent to this degree out of coincidence.
Yeah the elbow on Gazza in the first game! OMG and the ref was looking straight at it!
Koeman was the ultimate villain that night.
Gotta disagree - the ref was.
Never a proponent of Graham Taylor’s management style or brand of peculiar football, he was, nevertheless, absolutely correct in his criticism of the referee and the disgraceful decision to not send off Ronald Koeman.
The England bench was right - the refereeing in this game was disgraceful. Aside from Koeman's foul (that should have resulted in a red card and possibly a penalty), the ref allowed the Dutch to charge Dorigo's free-kick, but booked Ince when he did exactly the same thing at the other end a few minutes later. The Dutch were obviously the better team but it shouldn't cloud the fact England got well and truly reffed off the park.
Brian Moore ❤ Such a brilliant commentator
Look at Seaman's positioning at the free kick. He is still organising the wall, is too far over, and has got no chance if Koeman puts it where he did. He's slow to get down for the 2nd one too.
Absolutely. Watch it in slow motion if you have to, folks. His positioning is horrendous. Childlike. Inexcusable.
12:30 Bergkamp gets the ball - English commentators: Oh this is trouble! - Bergkamp scores.
HAHA, no wonder European Footballer of the Year no2 and no3 World Player of the Year in 1993....
I could listen to Brian Moore read the phone book for hours.
his commentary was awesome on the Koeman free kick, 'again its Ronald koeman, again the problem is there, his going to flick one, his going to flick one', just superb, his capturing the drama and reading the action so well and not allowing his patriotism to get the best of him...
OK, he made a mistake but on the whole he was a legend behind the mic...and very fair as well to the dutch and the English...where did England go wrong in the early 1990's from the semi run of 1990?
Euro 1996 was a great tournament that England should have won, so I'd say they bounced back.
+Kailash Patel Graham Taylot
I agree. He got a bad press in the fanzines at the time, but he was pretty engaging really. Hamburg are still looking for those 1980 European Cup winners medals he promised them though. ;)
Wow， 90‘s Bergkamp was just too good , alomost every old matches I review now via internet he scored balls and had several threanteining chances.
Tbf the 2nd goal was absolute class even if there was a cheeky handball in it.
Bergkamp has stunning fancy touch... so underrated...
Remila Meziane I'm not being argumentative, but how is or was D.Berkamp "so underrated" as a footballer? His goal against Argentina during France 98 was officially voted the best goals scored during that World Cup finals due to sublime ball control. Take a look:
th-cam.com/video/XsZkCFoqSBs/w-d-xo.html
I remember him scoring two stunning goals against Leicester City @ the old Filbert Street, again stunning ball control, both contenders for goal of the season. D.Bergkamp was not underrated.
Given his nick, i guess he is dutch an misinterpreted your comment, thinking underrated means the negative of it.
@@everttimmer3771 thanks for the explaination .
Brian Moores career pinnacle this one - the finest moment of his long and distinguished stint with ITV : "He's gonna flip one..." 9:26
❤
Flick not flip
How come football back then seemed more important and serious than nowadays?
marky26marky less money involved of course, less ego but the atmosphere at the games was much less sanitised amongst many other things.
internetzz
Because back then players and ownership alike were as dedicated to their national team as their clubs. This is the era before Beckham’s superstardom, WAGs (as led by his wife Victoria), or Russian oligarchs and Mideast Sheik Yerboutis bought up clubs. In doing so, they debased the Three Lions and English football in general with money and materialism
Hello marky26marky! This is how 90s playing soccer.
Because you were a young boy and it meant everything to you. Now your priorities are different and it doesn't matter as much.. everyone's golden period is when they grew up mine is 96-02
Seaman is at fault for free kick, look were hes standing. Do I not like that.
Actually England played very well in this game , unfortunately one of these two had to go .
First England game I remember watching as a kid was gutted. Koeman should have been sent off crazy that he wasn't.
What a double save from Seaman!
It was a fun controversial game in a tough qualifying group.
There hasn’t really been a big game between England and Holland for many years but during the 90’s it was a big rivalry! We loved it when we won 4-1 in euro96 but that was the last big game really because I don’t count the nations league. In England we were very angry about these two games in 93 and we wanted revenge and we got it in 96
Linesman! Linesman!! I'm a metre! I'm a metre! You just cost me my job.... Classic match whichever way you look at it
refs making failures but in the end Dutch were way more aggressive
he's gonna flick one remember brian moore saying that about 10 times
It's almost as if Brian Moore believes that if he says it enough times, God will allow David Seaman to hear it.
@@kisbie hear it ? Seaman should have seen it himself from 25 yards... myself aged 15 back then , Brian Moore and probably Stevie wonder saw Koeman was gonna flick it ...the only imbecile who didn't realize was David Seaman
Die kick van Erwin Koeman
Wat een heftig moment zeg
Zelfs geen geel
Ja, macht er megagut. Er lässt den Ball schweben.
Some of those England players were so alcohol dependent. A real shame.
The TV cameras failed to pick up the hand ball by Bergkamp in any replays before his goal too
That's a good point.
I remember this match being in the military. A full mess cheering and going crazy after the Koeman goal. What a night that was. 🥳
In this day and age Koeman would have been sent off, then brought back on so the ref could send him off a second time, so blatant was that foul.
That said we had no right to be in that world cup considering how bad we were.
Even in that day and age Koeman could have been sent off as well. Watch virtually any game in which he played; if there are more highlights than just the goals, you will probably see a dangerous challenge by Koeman. He committed some outrageous, blatant fouls and always got off lightly, I cannot understand why. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/daxebPaaCCY/w-d-xo.html and watch his assault on Baggio at 6:17 and laughably he goes unpunished, while a teammate who fouls and lashes out at Schillaci seconds later is sent off- this shortly after Baggio scored from a free kick, which Koeman had conceded. Looking back at all the blatant, cynical and often vicious fouls he committed, it is impossible to understand how he got away with it.
leaves you with mixed feelings this (England supporters anyway!). You do wonder how Koeman (no to mention his brother if that was him going in studs up...) didn't take a walk for that foul. On the other hand, Dutch had a perfectly legit goal disallowed in 1st half. And if England had got better results elsewhere (surrendering 2-0 lead to Dutch at Wembley + losing to Norway if I remember right), they wouldn't have been in this predicament.
Furthermore Koeman should have already been booked for the foul earlier in the video.
And if they hadn't appointed Gram Taylor as manager ...
14:33 the famous FIFA official, target of Taylor's anger on the sidelines in the second half, sheepishly and rather nervously walks past! To be fair to the poor guy, none of it was his fault.
What a heart breaking game this was...but exciting, bit of a classic! "How will Dorigo hold Overmars...He's gone past Dorigo!" Foreshadowing lol
Overmars was more into overdrive those days. Blazing fast winger. Ronald Koeman had the best shot and Bergkamp made trillions lot of lob kick goals back at Ajax. Then there was De Wolf with his corner like throw ins. A team full with players with signature moves. If only Van der Sar could have replaced De Goey earlier on, everything would be almost perfect
Haha 8.48 and that fella standing next to him, the dutch always fascinated me because of this kind of weirdness.
Graham Taylor was a good coach, let down by a poor crop of England players that were only average league players at best. Merson, Sharpe, Palmer, Webb etc. RIP Graham.
Paul Parker made the point that the England squad of 1990 was such a class outfit (Rocastle could not not get in and he was playing awesome)..yet come the 1992 Euros the squad lacked class and were playing in this stage men like Palmer, Deane, Dennis Wise, WTF)..
Although Taylor didn’t have the best squad, he made horrendously poor choices too. Stints like dropping Beardsley, Waddle and le Tissier were devastating for England, and entirely Taylor’s own doing. Similarly, that bizarre pulling Gary lineker off for Alan smith at euro 92 when England desperately needed a goal. Taylor was a decent man and a reasonable club manager, but crap at international level in terms of the things he *could* control like squad selection and subs
@@Gg-zd8xz bringing on Smith made sense only to hold the ball up..England needed a goal..
Should have picked the whole arsenal back four as a block. Always
As a Holland die hard fan I could imagine as a 17th years teenager I would be histerical when Koeman and Bergkamp scored…too bad I missed this game when no live broadcast easily accessed anywhere online or on tv as it is now… I really miss watching Dutch team in this high quality with full of world class players….
Despite the fact that Koeman should never have been on the pitch at that stage...
😬, England were very unlucky in those two games! At the Wembley game Holland was blown away, until Jan Wouters made himself 'wide' against Gascoigne's cheekbone, and here Koeman definitely had to be sent off.. In the 90s Holland's qualifiying campaigns were almost as exciting as the tournaments.
Bergkamp - like Overmars - later went on to star in English club football for many years; a Dutch & English legend, hup Holland hup!
David Seaman was a brilliant keeper but my god did he have a long list of howlers in his career. Both Dutch goals entirely his fault in this game.
East to remember the howlers and forget all his great saves

Referee should have been investigated as he allowed the Dutch to charge down our free-kick but penalised us for doing the same thing and for not sending off Ronald Koeman. Sure the Dutch should not have had their goal disallowed when Rjikaard was onside.
Tough group!
This was just before I got into football, I never knew about that professional foul from R.Koeman.....and at 0-0 when England only needed a draw AND he then scored AND from a re-taken free-kick when England weren't allowed a clear penalty let alone allowed to re-take the free-kick when the Netherlands did the same thing with the wall.....and also that red card offence from E.Koeman on P.Parker etc....would've thought people would've brought all this to my intention before I unintentionally found it on TH-cam like the Maradona hand goal 1986 was brought to my attention a long time ago etc... I know the Netherlands had a valid goal given as offside but it's fair to say if all decisions were given correctly It would've favoured England much more than the Netherlands.
Koeman was so fortunate that he didn't get sent off both 2 game.
I'm glad the Dutch got through instead of England. My favourite game of USA 94 was Brazil v Holland in the quarter finals. Classic world Cup match.
What a game of football had everything bergkamp a genius
Only 3 England players between Ryjkard and the goal. LOL.
England fan's view:
1. Doesn't matter that rijkaard was wayyyyy onside
2. Doesn't matter that koeman's foul was outside the box
3. Doesn't matter that ince was about 3 yards away from the free kick, it shouldn't have been retaken
It all adds up to england getting screwed
Seaman was out of his mind during that free kick. That was bizarre.
Love the silence from the commentary when Koeman scores 😆
