@@Chris-JnrMofo Today De Boer wouldn't even NEED to make such a pass. With the noticeably lower quality of the Argentina national team he could have even gone up front by himself.

25 years ago today. What a goal. Still get goosebumps watching this. WHAT a first touch. Second was amazing and the finish wasn't to shabby either. A legend!
there will never be a day when i watch this video and not get chills. 1998 wc was peek football for me, i was really rooting for netherlands and i was so excited when bergkamp scored the winning goal. too bad this generation of players never won a trophy, they really deserved it imo.
That Holland team was so good. So unlucky to lose to Brazil on pens in the semis. Also lost in Euro 2000 semis on pens. Bergkamp, Kluivert, Overmars, Seedorf, Davids, De Boer brothers, Van Der Sar, Stam. What a team.
I'm argentinian and today I can't explain how could he did this. He controlled excelent a 50 meters pass, then he hooked Ayala with only one touch, and kick the ball with the outside part of the foot putting the ball just in the corner, impossible for the goalkeeper. Brilliant in all tecniques aspects.
sergio lares Yep it’s true, he says: “Ik heb op eens zo’n GEVOEL dat we in de halve finale gaan komen!”, which means “I suddenly have a FEELING we’ll be in the semi finals!”. He said that right before he started announcing Frank De Boer’s amazing assist. As a Belgian I’m really stunned by the fact that The Netherlands never won a cup. I’ve always supported them the most when Belgium wasn’t there (for example in 2010), or in 2014 when Belgium lost in the quarters, I fully supported NL in the semis cause I always adored their team. Argentina got hella lucky against both of our teams though :(
Every few years I come back here to experience this moment again. Something that I haven't seen other commentators mention yet is the incredibly aesthetically satisfying transition of Bergkamp moving from the shadows into the light as he scores this sublime goal.
Dennis Bergkamp the greatest player in the history of Arsenal FC. What a player, I had the pleasure of watching him live for 10 years. A true gooner and Arsenal legend.
@Ilias Seghier That's what I was going to say. There was this player... Mmh... What was his name again...? Ah, yes: Thierry Henry! Look at a best of compilation of his and then tell me again that Dennis Bergkamp was the best Arsenal player ever. Regardless of this one-in-a-lifetime-truly exceptional goal.
@Frederik Van Nassau That might have been an important factor regarding his decision. I don't know, but I believe it sounds reasonable. Nonetheless, what Henry did on the pitch at times was truly breathtaking. But then again, I have not studied Bergkamp enough. Be that as it may, this entire "Who was the greatest?"-"Who was the best"-game is an occupation for the little boys in us. It's fun to a certain extent, but it doesn't have a real point. Does it?
This is one of the best bits of football I’ve ever seen. The pass, the touch, the way Dennis bounces passed the defender and scored a stunner of a goal. Absolutely phenomenal
Wasn't it phenomenal sir absolutely the pass did you see it phenomenal & like it did you sir does sir like a pass does he lile it suits you sir and the touch the touch and the pass does sir like to get touched sir like a stunner absolutely sir Ohhh suits you sir OHHhhh suits you phenomenal sir radiant sir radiant

Watched this live. One of the best games in the 1998 world cup. 20 years passed, still seared into my memory as one of the best goals ever scored by Bergkamp, or anybody else.
Same. We'd always mute the TV and have the radio on so we could hear Jack v. Gelder do his commentary over the boring Dutch TV commentators. 100% one of my favourite world cup memories.
I cried like a baby that day. Some people blamed Ayala because he didn't intercept that crossed high pass, but years later you realize that was just a perfect play finished by a master like Dennis Bergkamp
I'm from Ireland so I'm not biased but I also feel bad for Ayala. He was a great player. Yet he got blamed for this goal and another wonder goal by Michael Owen in the same World Cup. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do as a defender... And tbf I think Chamot took a lot of the criticism for that Owen goal but because Ayala was the better player it ultimately fell on his shoulders. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do...
Translation for this thing cause I've always wanted to know I really have the feeling we're going to the semi-finals. Possession back for Frank de Boer, Frank de Boer, plays the ball, brilliant to Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp holds it DENNIS BERGKAMP DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP DENNIS BERGKAMP Frank de Boer gets the ball to Dennis Bergkamp! He receives the ball perfectly and scores! With just 20 seconds left, Dennis Bergkamp, 2 to 1!
This was pure brilliance. Three perfect touches. First touch catches the ball. Second touch defeats the defender. Third touch defeats the goalkeeper. A technical clinic
@@yuvalmerhav Exactly. This would be hard for 99% of people to pull off if they were playing in their back garden with a couple of friends, let alone against professional players. That first touch is just pure magic. Nevermind turning the defender inside out and then that finish. If you ever hear somebody crying about why footballers get paid so much direct them to this video. There's only ever a handful of current players who can produce this level of skill on such a massive stage. Millions of people play the game, whether it be professional or just fun, but you could count on your hands how many people would be able to pull this off. I'm not even Dutch or an Arsenal fan. I hated Bergkamp when I was a kid back when United-Arsenal were battling eachother to win the league every year. But I respected him. I think a lot of people have zero idea just how difficult this actually is.
@@roryslaine7896 they get paid to much, wheter its a skill or not they should never earn that much money compared to the other workhorses in the work field
Im brazilian. Hope Netherlands success. Im Netherlands soccer supporter since 1998... what a team!! And what about 2010... sadness. The actual team deserves a title. Like 74, 78, 98 nd 2010 did too. Cruijff lives! Saudações, holandeses! 🔰🔰 Groeten aan de Nederlanders! 🟠🟠
What a goal. Fantastic. Almost 21 years ago...21 years after and this goal still amazes me. Pure class. One of the best goals I ever seen, from one of the best players ever.
Good on ya mate. That's what footballs all about! Doesn't matter where you're from, we all love the game. I'm from Ireland and when I was a kid Pablo Aimar and Batigol were two of my favourite players.
What a magnificent finishing to one of the most sublime assists ever. Bergkamp was fantastic, DeBoer was... divine. Just to make it clear... I'm from Argentina, and even then, while crying for the loss, I was delighted to watch such a masterpiece.
Rough translation of the Dutch commentary: Netherlands is gonna reach the semi-final, I suddenly have the FEELING [emphasis for strong feeling] that we will reach the semi-final. With ball-possession for Frank de Boer. Frank de Boer plays the ball... really well, to Dennis BergkampDENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP takes the ball on no translation for the rest, capitals aren't big enough. Well at the end he says: I already said for 20 seconds: *DENNIS BERGKAMP!!!* But the first sentence is very telling of the way the Dutch experience their football, I always have that too in certain games, where you just feel like something special is about to happen (because of just reading the game, feeling your own players' as well as the opposition's mojo). I watched this goal live in a room full of Argentian friends I had met about a month earlier. I remember being pushed out of the room when I was celebrating (knowing it was over and we had won anyway, I think I took 5 minutes or so to quietly come back into the room and feel all embarassed because of my excessive celebrations while they were all heartbroken. but all was well in the end and we all had enjoyed a great game of football and a great WC. Until Ronaldo cancelled for the final because of 'food posioning' or something.
Uenbg man... what a way to live the game. I am Mexican, that WC was the one i have enjoyed the most. Luis Hernandez goal in the last minute of Netherlands vs Mexico was a great moment for me. On Dennis Bergkamp goal; i saw that game and the only thing i can tell about it is that, thats the most beautiful goal in WC history i have ever seen (even better than maradonas)
Sean Endoh Nederland, Nederland gaat in de halve finale komen. Ik heb opeens zo'n GEVOEL dat we in de halve finale gaan komen. Met balbezit voor Frank de Boer. Frank de Boer, speelt de bal, heel goed, naar Dennis Bergkamp. Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, neemt de bal aan, Dennis Bergkamp (x5) ooooohhh. Frank de Boer speelt de bal naar Dennis Bergkamp. Die neemt de bal feilloos aan, en die schiet de bal erin. We spelen nog officieel 20 seconden. Dennis Bergkamp, twee-een [2-1]!
I am a Dutch supporter and was too busy celebrating and being in awe at how Spain was being humiliated to notice the similarity between Robben's goal and this one from 1998. I recently watched the game again (Spain vs. Holland) and that's when I noticed the similarity. But I thought it was just me.....now I'm going to go watch Robben's goal again with an even more observant eye :).....
Diego R FGonz It was a little bit scrappier - Bergkamp used his right foot on each touch, whereas Robben switched to his left - but it was remarkably similar.
A small, wonderful and sublime piece of humanity. Craft, intelligence, joy and beauty all acting in harmony. I remember the goal. And I have watched clips like this over and over again, and they never fail to make me smile.
@@roryslaine7896 I’ll give you guys a translation: ‘We’re gonna make it to the semi finals, I suddenly have a feeling we are gonna make it to the semi finals, Frank de Boer, he gives the ball to Dennis Bergkamp, very good, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, takes the ball, DENNIS BERGKAMP DENNIS BERGKAMP (5X) WAHOAOOHAOAA FRANK DE BOER PLAYS THE BALL TO DENNIS BERGKAMP, HE TAKES THE BALL PERFECTLY, AND HE SHOOTS IT IN, WE’LL BE PLAYING ONLY 20 SECONDS MORE, DENNIS BERGKAMP, TWOOOOOO - OOOONEEEEEEEEE Crazy 😂😂😂
So thats what the commentator says: "I can feel we will go to the semis" just before Frank De Boers stunning assist, and Bergkamps Godlike act of divine football perfection-goal...
This particlary pass, such a distance, defenders around you, quarter finale world cup. Who else had the skills to finish this? And i hear you thinking and indeed there are a few, but then youre talking about Zidane level. This is high level. High
@@maibhassin Well i believe it is because they were never successful at their clubs. The whole generation has won only 1 champions league at the start of their carriers at Ajax. But besides honours their skills were absolutely world class without any doubts.
Came here after the commentator mentioned about the last minute goal in 1998. Took mw down the memory lane. A very similar last second goal by the Dutch today. They lost in penalties though. But an amazing game though. Thank you both teams for a great display of football.
Just to add some context, the commentator just before the pass was saying "I'm getting this feeling that we're going to the half-finals" (insinuating that he feels there's a goal coming, something's about to happen) and considering the fact that he said that moments before the goal makes it even more special
Translation NL commentator: **Holland will reach the semi finals, I have the sudden feeling that we're going to be in the semi finals with ball possesion of Frank De Boer. Frank De Boer plays the ball very good to Dennis Bergkamp. Dennis Bergkamp , Dennis Bergkamp takes the ball, Dennis Bergkamp!!!! Dennis Bergkamp!!!!!**
Zam Zam That’s not true, with different languages come different pronunciations and you focus more on those, also, foreigners (that don’t speak Dutch) don’t even know how to pronounce his name, thus they would be very biased if they read “there is bear cum” before they hear it and they would even hear it afterwards...
You kidding? Bergkamp, Zidane, Owen, Beckham, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Romario, Baggio, Stoichkov, Hagi all played around then…..and waiting in the wings were Ronaldinho…..and Francesco Toldo 🤣🤣🤣
'DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'
I'm Brazilian and, after over 20 years, it gives me goosebumps. "Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.” (Albert Einstein on Dennis Bergkamp)
*Bergkamp 98 is the single greatest goal of all time, I've yet to see anything come close. The BEST, end of. I'm England all the way but that goal meant as much to us as it did to Netherlands.*
0:12 - 0:23 That is..... the absolute greatest piece of football commentary i have ever heard you can just hear the pure passion and love for his national team and the beautiful game in his voice cracks, Godbless that dude
I'm argentinian, but man... this goal is perfect in every sense. starting with the pass from de boer, then the control of the ball, the simple but perfect move to leave ayala behind (a great defender by the way, one of the best we had in the last years) then the definition... god.
WOW. Bergkamp makes it look so easy! But imagine a crossball over 50 mtrs. And Bergkamp touches its three times! And the finish! A touch with the outside of his foot so the ball curls around the keeper! Sick that,s what you call skills! Bergkamp was trully an unique player. I hate the discussion about who was the best player. Cruijff was more clever, Maradonna had an more explosive dribble, and so on but Berkamp in his way was one of the best. The one touch, the feeling, the ice cold finishing)i mean look at this video a long pass, he touches its three times and the last time outside foot curling around the keeper, and look at him! no sweat, its unbelievable! Every player has its own way! i dont say bergkamp were the best. I say bergkamp in his way was incredible and unique! If i may give you one advice, look at berkamp against Newcastle!
Well said man! It's like he was trained to touch the ball the least times possible in order to make the assist/skill/goal! For me, one of the most technically gifted players ever! Very similar to Dimitar Berbatov's playstyle. Salutes from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean!
Holland 98-2000 was the best nation team I ever seen. Van der Saar, Reiziger, Stam, De Boer, Numan, Wonk, Davids, R. De Boer, Cocu, Overmars, Bergkamp. Seedorf, Van Hooijdonk, Hasselbaink, Winter, Van Bronckhost and Zenden as reserve players. Only Brazil 1970 was better than this team.

Same. We'd always mute the TV and have the radio on so we could hear Jack v. Gelder do his commentary over the boring Dutch TV commentators. 100% one of my favourite world cup memories.
Most underrated player ever it's not even close
I cried like a baby that day. Some people blamed Ayala because he didn't intercept that crossed high pass, but years later you realize that was just a perfect play finished by a master like Dennis Bergkamp
I'm from Ireland so I'm not biased but I also feel bad for Ayala. He was a great player. Yet he got blamed for this goal and another wonder goal by Michael Owen in the same World Cup. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do as a defender... And tbf I think Chamot took a lot of the criticism for that Owen goal but because Ayala was the better player it ultimately fell on his shoulders. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do...
@@roryslaine7896 nah, both absolute great goals, Owen was a missile and Bergkamp a magician. Nothing to do.
@@MeatVision Owen was a missile and Bergkamp a magician. Nice
@@MeatVisionagreed, that touch from Bergkamp was alien, nothing Ayala could've done there
Puah, Ayala not only was a fuc**ng argentinian... He was a loser in any team he played, too!
Dennis Bergkamp
Dennis Bergkamp!

Very underrated comment

Alexander Sieber ;)
Translation for this thing cause I've always wanted to know
I really have the feeling we're going to the semi-finals.
Possession back for Frank de Boer, Frank de Boer, plays the ball, brilliant to Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp holds it DENNIS BERGKAMP DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP
DENNIS BERGKAMP
Frank de Boer gets the ball to Dennis Bergkamp! He receives the ball perfectly and scores! With just 20 seconds left, Dennis Bergkamp, 2 to 1!
Dennis Bearcum was one of the best players ever, a true legend of the game.
😂😂😂
I can't unhear it💀
Bro I'm dying 😂
AYO
Bergkamp
That commentator shows so much passion for the sport
Hah nice try.
"passion"
This was pure brilliance. Three perfect touches. First touch catches the ball. Second touch defeats the defender. Third touch defeats the goalkeeper. A technical clinic
Beautifully said. This is much harder than it looks.
@@yuvalmerhav Exactly. This would be hard for 99% of people to pull off if they were playing in their back garden with a couple of friends, let alone against professional players. That first touch is just pure magic. Nevermind turning the defender inside out and then that finish. If you ever hear somebody crying about why footballers get paid so much direct them to this video. There's only ever a handful of current players who can produce this level of skill on such a massive stage. Millions of people play the game, whether it be professional or just fun, but you could count on your hands how many people would be able to pull this off. I'm not even Dutch or an Arsenal fan. I hated Bergkamp when I was a kid back when United-Arsenal were battling eachother to win the league every year. But I respected him. I think a lot of people have zero idea just how difficult this actually is.
@@roryslaine7896 they get paid to much, wheter its a skill or not they should never earn that much money compared to the other workhorses in the work field
When some one mentions “Dennis Bergkamp” this is the 1st goal I think off. And then I remember the goal against Newcastle.
yes the goal against newcastle pure magic
@Alexander Harris 1 against leicester? He got a hat-trick that game, and whilst the last was amazing, the other 2 were still pretty good.
There is bear come
Im brazilian. Hope Netherlands success. Im Netherlands soccer supporter since 1998... what a team!!
And what about 2010... sadness. The actual team deserves a title. Like 74, 78, 98 nd 2010 did too.
Cruijff lives!
Saudações, holandeses! 🔰🔰
Groeten aan de Nederlanders! 🟠🟠
Thank you friend ! I was sad to see brazil leave the world cup this year. I was hoping to see argentina brazil.
Bro you gotta be supporting ur home country above another country lad
@@Sanjay-tc6hu I support too, man, obviously 😂😂 an it does n' prevent me from rooting for other teams -.-
Football*
@@Sanjay-tc6huI support my national team but it’s Canada which has basically only Alphonso Davies so I support that and the Netherlands
Sends chills down my spine every time I watch this.
Dennis Bergkamp..my idol!
What a goal. Fantastic. Almost 21 years ago...21 years after and this goal still amazes me. Pure class. One of the best goals I ever seen, from one of the best players ever.
That touch. So immaculate.
A hero for fun immaculate conception
Maravilhosa a emoção que o narrador passa pela alegria de seu país fazer um gol tão importante, lembrei desse vídeo e quis deixar esse comentário
Un pase de 70 metros, un control inimaginable y la definición, esto es una obra de arte
im argentinian and im so proud of this goal great for him! i love goals no matter the country
Good on ya mate. That's what footballs all about! Doesn't matter where you're from, we all love the game. I'm from Ireland and when I was a kid Pablo Aimar and Batigol were two of my favourite players.
fua tremenda ortografia
@@LautyElPerro como la tuya
@@LautyElPerrono creo que es argentino con ese ortografia 😅 (bue, puede ser gringo)
What a magnificent finishing to one of the most sublime assists ever. Bergkamp was fantastic, DeBoer was... divine. Just to make it clear... I'm from Argentina, and even then, while crying for the loss, I was delighted to watch such a masterpiece.
For the love of the game.. Respect from Holland
so much emotion the Dutch commentator gives, at such a great moment in Football. ;)
This goal made me fall in love with football and to this day, the Dutch are my favourite team.Thank You Dennis Bergkamp!!
I am so privileged I saw Dennis scoring every other week at home in De Meer scoring similar goals like this.
I want him in my ultimate team just to say "DENIS BERGKAMP DENIS BERGKAAAAMP"
DRL was gonna get him from icon swaps but I was an idiot and decided to do the prime icon pack from which I got Pires 😡
I do the same thing
0:21 my favorite part XD

OOOOOOOHHHHH
Rough translation of the Dutch commentary:
Netherlands is gonna reach the semi-final, I suddenly have the FEELING [emphasis for strong feeling] that we will reach the semi-final.
With ball-possession for Frank de Boer.
Frank de Boer plays the ball... really well, to Dennis BergkampDENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP takes the ball on
no translation for the rest, capitals aren't big enough.
Well at the end he says:
I already said for 20 seconds:
*DENNIS BERGKAMP!!!*
But the first sentence is very telling of the way the Dutch experience their football, I always have that too in certain games, where you just feel like something special is about to happen (because of just reading the game, feeling your own players' as well as the opposition's mojo).
I watched this goal live in a room full of Argentian friends I had met about a month earlier. I remember being pushed out of the room when I was celebrating (knowing it was over and we had won anyway, I think I took 5 minutes or so to quietly come back into the room and feel all embarassed because of my excessive celebrations while they were all heartbroken. but all was well in the end and we all had enjoyed a great game of football and a great WC. Until Ronaldo cancelled for the final because of 'food posioning' or something.
Uenbg man... what a way to live the game. I am Mexican, that WC was the one i have enjoyed the most. Luis Hernandez goal in the last minute of Netherlands vs Mexico was a great moment for me. On Dennis Bergkamp goal; i saw that game and the only thing i can tell about it is that, thats the most beautiful goal in WC history i have ever seen (even better than maradonas)
Uenbg any chance you can write the commentary in dutch ive been looking for it for months
Sean Endoh Nederland, Nederland gaat in de halve finale komen. Ik heb opeens zo'n GEVOEL dat we in de halve finale gaan komen. Met balbezit voor Frank de Boer. Frank de Boer, speelt de bal, heel goed, naar Dennis Bergkamp. Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, neemt de bal aan, Dennis Bergkamp (x5) ooooohhh.
Frank de Boer speelt de bal naar Dennis Bergkamp. Die neemt de bal feilloos aan, en die schiet de bal erin. We spelen nog officieel 20 seconden. Dennis Bergkamp, twee-een [2-1]!
thank you so much
Uenbg This is my favourite goal-goal commentary combo of all time :D
LE : when the american commentary starts, I stop the video lol
There wasn't a rival fan in football who didn't admire Bergkamp. A wonderful player.
today netherlands won 5-1 against spain and Robben´s goal reminded me of this great piece of art
Yep, mee too. I think Robben's goal will be the best this year !!!
Robben or Rvp's goal...?
Soldiertjj Yeah Rvp's goal was even better, it was ubelievable...
I am a Dutch supporter and was too busy celebrating and being in awe at how Spain was being humiliated to notice the similarity between Robben's goal and this one from 1998.
I recently watched the game again (Spain vs. Holland) and that's when I noticed the similarity. But I thought it was just me.....now I'm going to go watch Robben's goal again with an even more observant eye :).....
Diego R FGonz It was a little bit scrappier - Bergkamp used his right foot on each touch, whereas Robben switched to his left - but it was remarkably similar.
A small, wonderful and sublime piece of humanity. Craft, intelligence, joy and beauty all acting in harmony.
I remember the goal. And I have watched clips like this over and over again, and they never fail to make me smile.
The commentary is epic! Never gets old ! Dennis,master at work
I've seen many great football commentary clips but this one man, this one hits hard
Bergkamp , I will always love you !
Username checks out, kind of.
Everytime i hear the dutch commentator even i as a turk have tears in my eyes.
What a goal and what a commentation....
Lmao I'm Irish dude, I think we all feel the same. DENNIS BERGKAMP... DENNIS BERGKAMP... DENNIS BERGKAAAAMP!
@@roryslaine7896 I’ll give you guys a translation: ‘We’re gonna make it to the semi finals, I suddenly have a feeling we are gonna make it to the semi finals, Frank de Boer, he gives the ball to Dennis Bergkamp, very good, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, takes the ball, DENNIS BERGKAMP

Dying 🤣🤣🤣
Commentar l:ok god
Lmfao!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing for a full 5 minutes after reading this.
Thank you! 😊
So thats what the commentator says: "I can feel we will go to the semis" just before Frank De Boers stunning assist, and Bergkamps Godlike act of divine football perfection-goal...
Goosebumps, every time I come back to see this beauty of a goal!
This particlary pass, such a distance, defenders around you, quarter finale world cup. Who else had the skills to finish this? And i hear you thinking and indeed there are a few, but then youre talking about Zidane level. This is high level. High
well said
Bergkamp was as good as Zidane. Perfect first touch.
you're right, idk why but lots of good dutch players never get the recognition they deserve.
Aalt Koopman well tbh this is a goal I would see zlatan make
@@maibhassin Well i believe it is because they were never successful at their clubs. The whole generation has won only 1 champions league at the start of their carriers at Ajax. But besides honours their skills were absolutely world class without any doubts.
One if the greatest specialist strikers of all time! I bow.
centre forwards*
FaydzSweg Actually no, Dennis Bergkamp was not a Center Forward. He was a Shadow Striker, a #8, typically playing behind the #9 or center forward.
my bad
Ade Johnson Among the best 5 players of all time i'd rather say lol
Came here after the commentator mentioned about the last minute goal in 1998. Took mw down the memory lane. A very similar last second goal by the Dutch today. They lost in penalties though. But an amazing game though. Thank you both teams for a great display of football.
That touch.
Also, that Dutch.
I see you.
And thats why we say
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Badum tss
That Dutch touch
Probably my fav goal of all time. Insane goal!
hope the Dutch can win a world cup in my lifetime.
they have given a lot to World football
I hope you live forever...
Johan Cruyff made modern Football even
I hope you are still a young and healthy man ;)
@@Thenosferatu1900 we unlucky biut give it about 1000 years and than there is a slight chance we will get it 😉
They deserve a world cup
Just to add some context, the commentator just before the pass was saying "I'm getting this feeling that we're going to the half-finals" (insinuating that he feels there's a goal coming, something's about to happen) and considering the fact that he said that moments before the goal makes it even more special
Translation NL commentator: **Holland will reach the semi finals, I have the sudden feeling that we're going to be in the semi finals with ball possesion of Frank De Boer.
Frank De Boer plays the ball very good to Dennis Bergkamp. Dennis Bergkamp , Dennis Bergkamp takes the ball, Dennis Bergkamp!!!! Dennis Bergkamp!!!!!**

DESTROYER DESTRUCTION underrated comment
😂I can’t hear ‘there is bear cum’, because I’m Dutch.
Zam Zam That’s not true, with different languages come different pronunciations and you focus more on those, also, foreigners (that don’t speak Dutch) don’t even know how to pronounce his name, thus they would be very biased if they read “there is bear cum” before they hear it and they would even hear it afterwards...
roy fecking keane You don’t see your ignorance, do you?
A Bear came
The commentary is brilliant in this such emotion, what a goal and what a player
I don't watch football anymore. But every couple years, I come back and watch this again.
Bergkamp, the master of efficient ball control. 3 touches to control a long pass, beat a defender and score.
Pure class.
japphan clearly
Yup. First touch catches the long pass. Second touch defeats the defender. Third touch defeats the goalkeeper. That’s what you call perfection
He did that for Arsenal a handful of times, not to mention beating entire defenses with his through balls. Surely a legend
"Football players back then were plain, boring, and not flashy"
Much love to Netherlands
Watch r9 gameplay. He was the flash
Whoever said that about 90s football is out of their mind
@@pedrobailey735 he hasn't got a clue
You kidding? Bergkamp, Zidane, Owen, Beckham, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Romario, Baggio, Stoichkov, Hagi all played around then…..and waiting in the wings were Ronaldinho…..and Francesco Toldo 🤣🤣🤣
If football ever contained a thing of beauty, that is it. Oh, and also of course, his goal against Newcastle
I did not notice so clear who scored the goal?
Dennis Bergkamp

BEST goal I saw LIVE in my known world, became an instant fan of Nederland that day. Bergkamp Forever ;-)
Dank 50+2 und Niklas nochmal hier um das Tor anzuschauen 🤝🏻
Whenever I think of the World Cup I think of this goal
*Bergkamp 98 is the single greatest goal of all time, I've yet to see anything come close. The BEST, end of. I'm England all the way but that goal meant as much to us as it did to Netherlands.*
The one against Newcastle was pretty amazing

I am not sure.
I think maybe. Dennis Bergkamp
Valentoto Sechi kjnkkk(
Valentoto Sechi Nah I don't think so
I think it was Gullit ;)
Are you guys dumb. Obviously a bears semen did.
I'm argentinian, but man... this goal is perfect in every sense. starting with the pass from de boer, then the control of the ball, the simple but perfect move to leave ayala behind (a great defender by the way, one of the best we had in the last years) then the definition... god.
de Boer’s pass was incredible. Inch perfect. Finish was sublime. And now de Boer is the head coach of Atlanta United! Fantastic that. :-)
I watched this when I was a kid in 98 and still cannot forget this masterpiece. What amazing ball control and finish by Bergkamp.
WOW. Bergkamp makes it look so easy! But imagine a crossball over 50 mtrs. And Bergkamp touches its three times! And the finish! A touch with the outside of his foot so the ball curls around the keeper! Sick that,s what you call skills! Bergkamp was trully an unique player. I hate the discussion about who was the best player. Cruijff was more clever, Maradonna had an more explosive dribble, and so on but Berkamp in his way was one of the best. The one touch, the feeling, the ice cold finishing)i mean look at this video a long pass, he touches its three times and the last time outside foot curling around the keeper, and look at him! no sweat, its unbelievable! Every player has its own way! i dont say bergkamp were the best. I say bergkamp in his way was incredible and unique! If i may give you one advice, look at berkamp against Newcastle!
Well said man! It's like he was trained to touch the ball the least times possible in order to make the assist/skill/goal! For me, one of the most technically gifted players ever! Very similar to Dimitar Berbatov's playstyle.

@@jonasmontisano4958 absolute unique absolute master absolutely elegant
Holland 98-2000 was the best nation team I ever seen. Van der Saar, Reiziger, Stam, De Boer, Numan, Wonk, Davids, R. De Boer, Cocu, Overmars, Bergkamp. Seedorf, Van Hooijdonk, Hasselbaink, Winter, Van Bronckhost and Zenden as reserve players. Only Brazil 1970 was better than this team.
