Today's the 30th anniversary of this game, which I remember well from listening to radio bulletins. I was 12 then. I loved the 8-team format of the European Championship with only the qualifying group winners reaching the finals, which were played over a fortnight. 1984 was almost certainly the finest edition of the European Championship ever played, although it was largely ignored here in the UK after Yugoslavia's very late winner ending the last hope of any British representation by eliminating Wales.
Bulgaria had a trully golden opportunity to make it 2-3 seconds before the last goal; had they scored they would have qualified to France 84. Such is destiny.
Tačno tako! Imali smo više sreće no pameti. Ali sreća je uz hrabre. BTW Bugari su te večeri prolazili kroz našu odbranu ko ekser kroz čamovu dasku. Delić samo što nije dobio srčku.
Very true. And had the game ended in a draw then Wales would have qualified instead of either of them. Crazy situation that any of the three nations could still have won the group with a minute to go.
please can someone translate (in English) what the commentator says when Radanovic scores that last-gasp winner...would love to know...thanks in advance
Well...yeah, it Croatia was part of Yugoslavia then, was it not? Sport was huge in Yugoslavia. The country had some of the finest talents in Europe and not just in football, but in basketball, volleyball, water polo, handball, etc...
Croatia. I was 9. I came home from school and had a chance to see the last ten minutes. I was out of myself when Radanovic scored. :)) I even remember the two matches against Wales. Ian Rush was the man I was afraid of. Liverpool, Liverpool! ;))
My favorite will always be Prosinecki. Speaking of EURO 2012, the group is far from being easy, and it will be even more difficult. Why? I bet Italy will win against Spain and then we'll be in trouble. We were having problems with our Irish friends in the past (despite that fabulous goal by Suker in Zagreb in 1999). I'm afraid we'll be having new problems in June. ;)) Very unlucky against Turkey but Croatia hit back in Istanbul last year.
@@Denkooo100 Не, не си запомнил добре - да, требаше ни победа со 2:0 (не ни беше доволно 1:0 или 2:1), ама исто така со еден гол ако е 3:2, 4:3 и т.н. пак отивахме на Евро 1984 - заради поголем брой на вкарани голови.
yes remember Rush well,i suppose suker was a hero of yours you were great in 1998 world cup,so you must be a similar age to me about 37 im 40,how do you think you will do in Euro 2012?hard group, i remember you were very unlucky against Turkey in Euro 2008

@@paulwilliams8389 I make it that if Bulgaria had won 3-2 they would have been level on 7 points with Wales and with the same goal difference +1.
@@Ruda-n4h Yes, but with a better result from BG. vs. W. directly, whicg means BG would go the Euro finals.
@@kbentchev But both games between the countries ended 1-0 to the home side, so why would Bulgaria's have precedence.

Ljudi moji, je li to moguće!!! My people (OMG), is this possible (can you believe this!)!

@@Real_Geronimo and @zvonkokozic5324 Thank you both 👍
This match was in Split, right? A lot of people supporting the yu-team in Croatia those years...unbelievable

Of course. It took a lot of CIA sponsored fanatics and NGO's to bend peoples minds and destroy the country.

Късмет имаха Югославяните, че не си подадоха наще при предишната ситуация, трима срещу вратара и пропуснаха гола.
