@@soccerstoriesohmygoal hi
And domestic rivelty overcome national love
I call bullshit.
England national team exist way before the golden generation.
English club rivalries was even worse in the past.
Even if there are problems, it never stopped them.
They simply unlucky, ricardo was too good, and erikson was stupid for forcing gerrard and lampard together when he should've played carrick with just one of them.
Also, their goalie shite. Seaman retired really early omgoal shouldn't bother putting his name, and put terry alongside ferdinand instead.
5 to 10 years later...there will be a video called 'Why Belgium's golden generation never won anything'
Yup, just ask the Dutch.
As a Belgian, i agree with that.
Atleast they reached a semifinal

Easy, Brazil, Italy, France and Spain were also at their peak.
But england lost to portugal 🤷🏻♂️
@@DuriNani257 Portugal had the core of the Porto team that won the 2004 Champions League + Luis Figo + Rui Costa AND a blossoming Cristiano Ronaldo. Moreover, they packed the midfield in an attempt to control the possession and tempo. With all of that, they only won on penalties twice. So, it's not as if it's a huge England failure. That England team may be the best the country has had, but they were NOT internationally dominant.
But better than overrated England
@@DuriNani257 2004 v Portugal, no one could deal with Rooney. If he hadn't been injured, it's very unlikely they would've won. 2006 v Portugal, Sol Campbell scored a perfectly good goal that was disallowed. If it had stood, there would've been no penalties to lose 😄
This is true but England should have at least got to the final in those 8 years
Kane and Sterling led England to Finals. At least they broke the 55 years old streak. They played well
Sadly they will probably get another chance again, They didn't have to face france/portugal/spain etc. and they were playing at Wembley, its a shame but they did so well to get to the final.
Thanks to that dive by Sterling.
Don't worry . Sterling will win the diving competition in the upcoming Olympics.

@@aye2you Sergio Busquest haven't won an Oscar yet
Simple, There was never balance in the line up. The line up was more of who's more famous instead of who's better.
Truth has been spoken
Truer words were never said.
Michael Carrick was underrated because he was never the typical english/ premier league midfielder. He was calm composed solid in attack and defense. I don’t think England are ever gonna have a player like Carrick again he’s probably the only “Regista” England ever had. I mean you’ll find an attacking midfielder like Lampard, a box to box midfielder like Gerrard or Scholes in near future but never a deep lying playmaking defensive midfielder like Michael Carrick. If he was of some other nationality preferably Spanish or French..his story would’ve been very different. I still believe the reason why this “golden generation” underachieved was due to the fact that they always overlooked a player like Carrick who stabilises the entire midfield and defence( something which Busquets, Kanté, Casemiro, Fernandinho do for their teams).
David Batty was that type of player and he was brilliant. The English media hated him.
Because other teams had golden generations too.
if england had their "golden" generation, then other teams had their "platinum" generation back then
@@jagmaharesi2486 Exactly, sure they were good players individually.. but maybe its just me, but they never mashed well during that entire "golden" era

Not gonna lie, but the 2000's were the golden generation of football
Exactly !
M Mehdi that’s because you were a kid then, people tend to think of their childhood memories as the golden times because things seems more magical and exciting as a child, when you grow up you become more cynical and start to notice the bad sides.
@@sponish0 i agree ! nobody can replace our childhood heroes, mine was oliver kahn :)
@@sponish0 No the 2000s had more legends than nowadays and that is a fact. Brazil had ronaldo, ronaldinho, cafu, rivaldo, roberto carlos, lucio, Kaka, Dida. Italy had Del Piero, Totti, Pirlo, Gattuso, Buffon, Cannavarro, Maldini, Nesta. Frace had Zidane, Henry, Trezeguet, Vieira, Makalele, Thuram. Spain had Villa, Casillas, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Puyol, Raul, Torres, Iniesta, Guti. Netherlands had Van Nistelrooy, Bergkamp, Davids, Van Bronkhorst, Robben. England had Beckham, Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard, Scholes, Ferdinand. Portugal had Figo, deco, and young C.R7.
@@dgxkeyboards4535 true dat
Stop blaming 4-4-2. Simeone and Ranieri won league titles in the 2010s using 4-4-2. What you people don't seem to understand is that the decline of 4-4-2 since the mid-2000s is bad for football. In most cases, you don't get an attacking Barcelona-style 4-3-3 as a replacement, but a boring 4-2-3-1 leading to endless midfield battles and fewer goals.
Its not the 442, its the players didn't fit a stereotype 442. 442 needs strong wingers on both sides, England only had 1 side, so they forced one of their strong CM on flank. Aside from Rooney, there aren't another English striker that can operate as lone striker in 4231 system, so the logical choice was either 433 or a 442 diamond to fully utilize their FBs. There were many problems to those England squad, but the biggest was lack of management whether tactically or characteristically.
Just look at spain, the spanish players are rivals for the total year, but when it come to national team, they play like Brothers
exactly!
Also Italy
Pique n raMos
Overrated players because of foreign players they won at club level. Recent true golden generation is of Spain: 2008-2012, Italy: 1990-2006(eventually won something at 2006, but played couple of finals before and were eliminated only at penalties) , Germany(2002-2016), France:(1998-2006 and then 2014-present), Brazil:(1994-2002), Argentina: emerging. Even Portugal Golden generation played finals and eventually won something. English media, marketing, PR teams created such hypes for average celebrity type players who look good only with the support of foreign players. Their main Stricker scored only 1 goal in 3 world cup says a lot, how good they are and how much media feed fake hypes to viewers. It's like selling fake product in original packaging. Same with Belgium at-least they play good, whereas England golden generation didn't even done that. The most unluckiest golden generations are of Holland and Uruguay. England footballing are not there yet and not part of elite group of players. England playing their first final in Euro says a lot about them. Given Euro is the most open tournament where teams like Greece, Denmark were also champions.
@@capilah6285 they might be good or above average, but media hype says something else. I have never seen Gerrad, Lampard, Scholes Beckham(apart from freekick against Greece), Rooney etc did anything special or good for national team, they got exposed totally against good teams. and all of them played at-least 3 world cups and same number of euros.
Show some respect to Carrick, he literally won everything at Club Level. .

Exactly the man’s won every trophy there is to win in the English top flight and you can’t say he wasn’t an important cog in those United teams
Fergie made him look so good, otherwise he was not on the same level as the golden generation
True
Its funny how whenever the talked about media it went on beckham
What wrong with Carrick, he's a manutd legend he's a world class midfielder. He control the game from a deep lying midfield position he can see passes and create chances only few can emulate. Ur channel should properly check the stature and achievement of the man.
The problem is England never respected Carrick because they could not appreciate his capabilities to their detriment. Gerrard and Lampard were good but not great
@Faizan Manzoor Gerrard won 11 titles no premier league included lampard won 14 titles 3 epl Carrick won 18 titles 5 epl not too bad for a 4/10 holding midfielder. And neither lampard nor Gerard won anything for England best they gave Carrick a try.
Lol watch again he compare with kante and basque (spain), carrick far far away to their prime level
Michael Carrick is not a Legend I think you youngsters these days use that word Legend so Loosely if you followed his career he ain't no Legend. However he played alongside Legends so he will naturally look better than he actually is.
@@ugochukwumunachisoiwunze2597 or those legends you called played alongside the legend so they looked like legends
Cause is an English team. If they aren’t good the media will still hype them.
You dont even watch the video asshat

@@Mwestside010 Are you stupid?
ouch thats very true...
@@eavyeavy2864 Why watch the video, when you can be a moron without wasting the 5 minutes on the video
When You SELECT a TEAM By Their POPULAR and CELEBRITY STATUS not by LOGIC.
England has the complete squad as Milan from back on those days, the 4-4-2 should work for them the way Milan does:
Midfield: Kaka-Pirlo-Gattuso-Seedorf
Forward: Sheva-Crespo/Inzaghi
The same does to England
Midfield: Beckham-Gerrard-Lampard-Scholes
Forward: Ronney-Owen
The thing is the England football is never put a tactical programs into a whole different level and adjusted it to top level the way Italy do, just see how their clubs went into big stage for the last 20 years under non-england manager, Mourinho/Ancelotti/DiMatteo/Rafa/Etc come there and made a big difference.
The another problem is yes they're kick and rush and they might explosive, but they're not as explosive as Brazil.
And they didn't has someone like Zidane if they wanted to relay on one player.
Chelsea on winning the 2012 CL considered a boring journey by many fans, but that's what tactics does for your team, you win titles.
The same way how Liverpool play the 2019 final Vs Tottenham they weren't as explosive as their other matches they played but it was more about tactical and Klopp does the right thing to win that CL title.
You just don't need a great defender to defending but you need a great defender who knows tactical and technical abilities to defend just like Maldini and Baresi.
Cannavaro displayed this superiority of defending on the WC 2006.
Man, seeing this team underperform through the years was so heartbreaking due to the talent and charm that most of these guys had
I agree, seeing it fail the first time was okay since we would at least come out knowing it’s not realistic. But they kept on persisting with that notion for a decade. The result? A failure. Should have quickly broke the team down and build it from the bottom again after noticing it’s deficiency.
Talent definitely not sure about the charm. Seeing Rooney consistently underperform and blane the fans wasn't great
Charm? They all looked like egotistical bellends to me. Small minded twats.
I’m sorry but you forgot to mention there was no keeper for that generation
Seaman was good I mean the problems didn't lay in the goalkeeper at all
The had keepers
HenReviews seamen was good but he was old
Later on they had Paul robinson who was good at one point I think he got injured
Seaman was already 39 in 2002.
What about the manager
How can you disrespect carrick like that?
Who’s here after England lost to Italy in penalty’s in the euros ?
Me
back then in 2000s, Carrick for Man Utd is like Pirlo for AC Milan and Alonso for Liverpool. Man utd would never won that many trophy without Carrick as he was the one who stays in front of the back four and helps Scholes controlling the stability of the middle.
Growing up watching EPL’s heroes in one Team(England) and seeing them lose Quarter finals again and again was just painful to watch.
"Is it ever been home before?" Lol
France, Brazil, Italy, Germany just smile watching this Video.... Greece even laughs out loud.
Forgot to mention that England didn’t made the euros in 2008
How the hell could you say sth disrespectful on M.Carrick
That's unbelievable and unacceptable
More like the strawberry generation,..good looking, but doesn’t stand pressure ⚽️
brilliant !
In 2002 I think was the best chance to England win a WC, but they played against Brazil with Cafu, R.Carlos, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, cmon man there's no win against that brazilian team in 2002.
Owen scored the first goal in the 2-1 loss. The team lost balance after the goal. Good team management could prevent that.
The whole decade from 2000 to 2010 was full of legendary players playing at a legendary level.
I don't care what anyone says, 2000-10 was when football peaked in terms of individual talent.
0 wins... they were bollocks.... didn't even qualify for euro 2008...lol
@@supersbbrawl4ever You mean in English players? I disagree with that. The prem was not the best league in the world back then. So they looked better playing at a lesser standard than what these English players play in now. They were mainly overrated apart from Ashley Cole who was always superb at any level. Gerrard and Lampard could not string two passes together in that England side. Beckham was very good but was injured going into tournament and should not have even been there. England never had a great goalkeeper. David James? Robinson? Average. Rooney was just 18 going into those Euros and people thought he was the answer. He did have a great game against Croatia. Was a bit of a handful against France but you can't rely on an 18 year old to win tournaments. He was very raw. Owen was already a shadow of his former self. Scholes, the best technical midfielder we had at the time was played on the left wing when we were crying out for him in the middle. Owen Hargreaves a regular for Bayarn didn't get much of a look in because I guess he wasn't hyped. And throughout those years we had a top top midfielder in Carrick that barely got a game! Ridiculous.
@@MrJondinham In general, not in England.
@@MrJondinham Scholes played mainly as CM -1998, 2000, 2002. He constantly underperformed, couldnt master the midfield, the most overrated played of this so called golden generation. Owen was world class even in 2004- goal vs Portugal and couple of assists.

I don't understand why OMG disrespected Carrick. He was the only good CDM and he was not given chance. Instead the used scholes as CDM.
This talk of golden generation peaked in the lead-up to World Cup 2006 (and became quite simply unbearable). The thinking was that with the emergence of Rooney, Terry, Lampard and Joe Cole, England could finally complete a team that already had Campbell, Ferdinand, A. Cole, Gerrard, Beckham and Owen.
That logic ignored 3 vital aspects:
-There was little chemistry between those players, they were just names being scribbled on the team sheet.
-No coach was able to find a formation that best suited all these players.
-Most important of all, other nations (Brazil, France, Portugal, Italy, Argentina) had squads that were better than England's, with greater team spirit as well. Germany's midfield of Schneider-Ballack-Frings-Schweinsteiger wouldn't have been afraid of facing England either.
Do a video on the amazing young goalkeeper with a bright future ahead of him.

@Oscar Briceno The light
Thats Donnarumma and Nubel
Gainlugi donnarumma and are you talking about when he was in the wc
That was sarcasm. Jeez.
An average team with 1 or 2 great players has the capability of winning... Too many great players are also a burden and no great players means no capabilities.
Too many idiots fans in England. They are mostly support their club and not their nation. It lead to a team that far from solid even the team full of superstars. I found it is stupid an Arsenal fans mocked Harry Kane in livestream comment England vs USA, England vs France. WTF . And fans that are doing that are on massive numbers. Idiots.
Chemistry and strategy is all that's important. Spain was a team filled with great players in every position, Xavi Iniesta Pique Villa Casillas Puyol etc etc and they won everything in their wake during their day. Argentina 1986 was a team with no names except Maradona and that was enough because they all trusted each other and played together.
This is true, upon people say football originated from England,I always wonder why they have won the world cup once
In 2002 world cup if they beat Brazil England will surely lift that world cup. But Ronaldinho scored his best goal.
My opinion:
1. Most of them were from rival teams which would be hard for them to team up
2. The media keeps on focusing on the youth
3. Other countries were just as good as them or better
Don't forget the WAGS making a distraction for the team. And they complained about the humid weather making it difficult. Please! The other top nations had no problems, especially Italy & France.
To many EGOS in one team
carrick was a 'busquet' of england he is slow but his brain was class yet he was underated by england.. if england try to play 433 like today formation he would be incredible at cdm
Who is here after the euros

No they were good enough, they just had too many egos, not enough planning, terrible training regimes, appalling self belief, etc ............

@Chooey Sooares Champions League might be won by English football clubs, but not necessarily performed by English players, idiot. Premier League's greatest players like Ronaldo, Henry, Nistelroy, Viera, Van Persie, Torres were non-English. Just because Rooney, Lampard, Gerrar and Bekham were famous dont mean they won UCLs for their teams single-handedly. French and Dutch players had contribution in EPL than English.
Sometimes you lose even if you're good enough. Look at Real Madrid from 2010-13. They DEFINITELY deserved the CL in 2012. They were the best in Europe. But they got unlucky on penalties against Bayern. That being said, the golden generation was overrated.
@United is Best
I wanted Chelsea to face RealMadrid that year. If that happened Chelsea would definitely have not won it.
Barca were much better than RealMadrid from 2008/09 to 2011 though.
Real Madrid were given a lot of help in 2013 but still couldn't make the final that was certainly a failure.
Also they were underachieving even more so before the period you said as they got knocked out in 6 consecutive last 16 matches 2004/05 to 2009/10.
England had Owen Hargreaves and he was our best DM. He could tackle, recover the ball, intercept, press, pass forward etc. A three man midfield of Hargreaves (DM), Scholes (CM) and Lampard/Gerrard (CM) would have solved our midfield issue.
and your gaffer would get a lot of stick for dropping one of stevie/lamps by the media. Especially if it results in losing the game.
Often thought the mistake was playing both Lampard and Gerrard.
England: You know, we had the better team and the best players from the best league, a golden generation of superior players who were bound to win everything. The only reason why it failed is because the english players were individually soooooo good and soooooo much more talented that they couldn't get along and actually refused to play together as a football team, true story. All the while the mediocre players from the french and brazilians teams had no other choice than to play collectively, because that was the only way they could ever hope to beat the one and only true golden generation of football players. We were definitely the superior team despite not winning anything and being repeatedly beaten by the best teams of the era, there is no question about that.
The World: Right.
Brazil and France was filled with world class at that moment.

GOLDEN Generation of FOOTBALL 💖
They did pretty good regardless! I had been cheering for England's National Football team since about 1984 when I was just 8 years old and in all that time I believe the 2002 England Team was the best one they had. The only weak link perhaps being the goalkeeper. That team was in my opinion second best team to Brazil in 2002 - better than Germany and the rest of Europe. I am very delighted over the new team with Harry Kane being one of my favorite strikers right there with Gary Lineker.
I think one reason was the manager... Southgate is excellent
The problem was management, the manager should be blamed. If they played in a 4-3-3 or in a 4-3-1-2 daimond formation they would have achieved more

Now theyre out
Some of my favourite teams areManchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, liverpool etc,, Neville, Rooney, Ferdinand etc, are on the squad, Man United used to be some of the best teams that there were.
For me, a lack of strength in depth and and unbalanced team were the main factors. Yes, we had Rooney, but if he wasn't available then who could step up to take his place? Peter Crouch? A way past his best Owen? Decent players but not the guys to bring on and change a game. This is why Rooney had to play in 2006 even though he was miles off match fitness after breaking his foot just a few weeks earlier.
As mentioned, we also desperately needed better balance to our midfield. We needed a manager who had the balls to drop either Gerrard or Lampard, and use the free slot to anchor the midfield properly so that whichever was playing could push forward and do the damage.
Tactics also plays a part. From what I understand, Eriksson preferred a rigid formation, which greatly stifled the strengths of players like Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Gerrard.
The Golden generation failed because in all honesty they weren't golden...England fans and media have a propensity to overhype and overrate their own average players as world class.....Yes hopeless managers haven't helped but usually more talented teams have knocked them out of tournaments. Perspective is needed.
English fans and media always magnify things. I mean they act like England is one of the most successful teams. For me England has only been a quarter finals level team. It’s not a coincidence that they have advanced only 3 times to the semi finals and lost 6 quarter finals because that’s their level. A descent team but a quarter finals level team.
@@footballfan283 Exactly my man...Complete levels of delusion...Wait until France beat them at the weekend..there will be national uproar...If Southgate plays same team and they lose it will be because he was too negative and if he switches to back 5 it will be the why did he change a winning formula...they have their scapegoat ready.
@@mrpotato442 Yeah France knocked them out as expected. And I was correct to say that England is just a world cop quarter level team. Everyone who knows football history knows that. And Glad to see England keeps it that way lol
They didn't win anything because the other teams playing at the time were simply better. That was the golden generation of football overall. That level of competition is returning now and the euros feels like a genuinely unpredictable tournament
Yep
Rooney
Scholes
Beckham
Lampard
Ferdinand
Terry
J cole
A. Cole
Michael Owen
Neville
Lool and emile Heskey...
Michael owen
Sol Campbell
Neville lol. Dude was good but individually there were dozens of fullbacks a lot better than him. Same for Beckham, Lampard and Rio. The guys who truly were legends in their position and truly the world's best at their peak were Cole, Scholes and Rooney. When you dive deep into it you find this team isn't nearly as stacked, like Argentina had Aimar, Ayala, Cambiasso, Riquelme, Veron, Crespo, Tevez, Batistuta and a young Messi and they ain't even mentioned in the top 3 most talented generations of the 2000s even though they seem on total to have also a better team on paper than England
All crap..
Kane/ Seka/ Billingham / Rice/ Pick ford and Folden are much, much better.
To be fair, I think the golden generation did pretty well. Yes ,they underachieved according to their standards but seeing Gerrard and lampard in the same midfield made my day. They were unreal!
People forgot France, Spain, Brazil, Italy and Germany and Netherlands are full of legend too. The different is England does not have great chemistry but they lacking key player that can change the outcome of the match. France has Zidane and Henry that can change the outcome of the game. Brazil has Ronaldinho and Ronald and Kaka to change the game and have great impact etc
That's one reason why you shouldn't fight on the pitch with other players because you never know a player from a different team can play on the same international team as you.
When this video disrespect Carrick, i think whoever made this video doesnt know football.
The left side of midfield was a massive problem for England during this time along with Scholes' retirement from international football.
There is a saying that When England won the first World Cup in 1966 , they Pour wines / beers ( liquor ) etc in the trophy 🏆 when celebrating, to which it was believed they have been cursed .
0:34 Gerrard on the left
We tried too much to revolve around all the players instead of building around certain key players. That was the strategy that flourished mostly during the golden generation era for club AND country. We needed underdogs in the team that surprised us with bangers but instead we got a 11-man-league-superstar team that tried too hard neglecting the basic problem. It won’t work. I acc blame the management, how did they keep that simplistic type of thinking for nearly a decade knowing that it just won’t work. They tried to make a dream team into something that would be possible to work with. In our dreams, it would. But it’s a dream for a reason. Too many variables around the golden generation being squashed into a team together alone makes it unlikely for it to work unless they could play and train with that type of team for a prolonged period.
Their midfield was their strength and also weakness at the same time
Those legends🙆♂️😍 Beckham,Gerrard,Lampard,Evra,Rooney,Cole brothers,Terry ohh god 😔Soo sad they couldn't even win a euro
Insanely overrated
Argentina has a strikers golden generation
But defenders bronze generation.
uddin ahmed but yet they’re bronze ended up becoming gold
Argentina always have the best attackers in the national team but always have average defenders who half of them don't play for top European clubs and I support Argentina so I know about them and the midfield now is not as good as it was in the 2006 World cup with Veron, Cambiasso, Mascherano, Riquelme, Pablo Aimar. I doubt Argentina will win anything after Messi retires from international football
@@haitham_shubair10 yes I guess this true. But from 2002 to 2014 they had a good defense and midfield.
if higuain play for england they definately have a final wc😂
Golden Generation
