In 1994, as a 17-years-old central-European (I'm from Poland) boy, I supported Romania and Bulgaria with all my heart, cause they were the only teams from our region (Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Croatia etc. didn't qualify). And I enjoyed their fantastic football very much. And did not understand, why my own national team couldn't play like that... Romania played the game against Argentina simply incredibilly, all three goals were extraordinary. Thank you, Romanians, for those emotions! :-)
Nice comment. I am romanian, I was 7 years old back then, and World Cup 94 was the moment I got in love with football. It was the greatest world cup for us, the greatest performance that Romania ever had. I remember that in the next qualification campaign, for euro 1996, we meet your country, Poland. Back then Romania had, as you also said, a better team than Poland, but the tide is turning and now you are a much better team than ours and you have probably the best football player in the world in this moment. Hope to meet again, Romania and Poland, but in a time when both teams are good, not just Poland :) Cheers and have a good year!
@@codrutcroitoru Happy New Year too :-) I remember the match in Zabrze, in 1995 - we needed a victory, but it was 0:0 and we finally lost our chances... Those times were terrible and dark for our football. Thanks for "probably the best player in the world". If we had eleven men like him... we would be the world champions for the first time in our history :-D But now we had to beat Russians at their own stadium where we never won with them...
bulgaria vs romania should have been the WC final. But instead we met in the Euro. But I think both teams were THE power and the BEST in the World Cup at the time. and We should have met in a final. We lost our edge by the Euro match. And we were quite dismissive by having bigger countries and teams storms us.
@@pbd2849 Poland plays in the playoff, Romania doesn't even qualify for playoff unfortunately. So be happy you have big matches this year :) ! I wish you to win the playoff against Russia, and also the playoff Final(it doesn't matter who will you play against). I hope Poland will qualify to the World Cup 2022, I promise I will be your fan :)
Nu credeam că mi se poate întâmpla asta, dar revazund acest meci m-au cuprins fiorii și mi-au dat lacrimile,așa ceva se întâmplă o dată la 100 de ani. Bravo vouă campionilor!
I was 8 years old and i remember this fantastic game like it was yesterday. Also remember how my dad nearly had a heart attack and smashing the floor with his bare hands from all that pressure. Constantly swearing when the romanian players were missing and he was sitting on the floor the entire game while my mum trying on and on to calm him down. It was a pure joy to revisit this game considering how time flies. Romania!!!!!❤️
There was no way of calming down a romanian during that game. I was in LA and it was nerve wracking. No words to describe the euphoria at the end of the game.
I have only two loves in sports.... It is Roger Federer,and the football team of Argentina. In sports,you also got to have an amount of luck... Although Romania was great,that team of Argentina was the best one on the tournament... It was not just their day. And also,the team from 2006 with my favourite player,the magnificient Juan Riquelme was the absolutely best on the tournament,and tragicly lost from Germany. Always the damned Germans to spoil the party... Maradona,Messi and Riquelme,all the beauty in football.
@@stefanlukic7272 Argentina in that World Cup had good players but not a good team. That afternoon in Los Angeles, Romania played much more effectively and intelligently than the our team. Hagi, Popescu, Petrescu, Dumitrescu, etc, played an almost perfect match. On the other hand, in 2006, we were very close to beating a thought German team that we surpassed physically and footballingly (something very difficult to achieve, by the way). Thank you for your admiration for football and the football players of my country. Is your last name Serbian or Croatian? Two of my grandparents were Slovenian, that's why I'm asking you. Greetings!!
@@sebastiancarlosd5072 It's Serbian. Although we always like the midfield players,for football is always about the goals,I forgot to mention the exeptional the best number 4 player ever in the history of football,magnificient Javier Zaneti,the absolute MVP on that position.
@@stefanlukic7272 Javier Zanetti, "Il Capitano" was one of the most underrated player of his generation. I wish today we had a right back like Zanetti. Argentina has not been characterized by having great full-backs like Brazil, but Zanetti was one of the best we had. I agree with your point of view
@@sebastiancarlosd5072 I have to mention also the best ever number 5,center back,absolutely magnificient Fernando Redondo... He is a fusion on poetry and power! Until 1986,I was a great fan of Brasil (and I still am,and always will be),but that year Diego entered into my heart and stole it forever. Before that,Brasil and its Zico, Junior,Socrates generation was on the throne. Diego made the change od heart,and after him,Riquelme and Messi. But I have to point that out again,the world has forgoten about Redondo.
Thanks for this. I remember my dad coming home late at night after this game with a few beers on him waking me up and telling me this was the best game he ever saw, a couple of weeks before my 9th birthday. This is the first time I ve seen highlights of the game, seems like a great match
I perfectly remember this game. I was 11 at the time, and France was not qualified for the World Cup. So I watched nd enjoyed every match without supporting any team. This match was certainly the best one of the whole 94 World Cup. Not only because of the score. The level of the game, the technique of the players, the intensity.. and a goal could have been scored every two minutes! And there were also 2 World class players on the pitch named Batistuta and Hagi.
I remember this game is the most exciting game of 1994 WC, the fast pace of the game and the skills of those players. Hagi is the super star, loved him with all the technique and goals. I was 17 at the time, now 46, and I had been looking for this game on TH-cam for like 15 years. So happy that they finally put in in here. Cheers mate!
I am from Sweden and remember when watching this game I was thinking that the first 20 minutes was the best football I had ever seen , the offense and pace both teams showed was truly breath taking as they exchanged scoring opportunities. Then naturally the game was a little more like normal but still entertaining.
Ca în Stăpânul inelelor... "Până acolo și înapoi"!! Nu va mai fi lot cum l-am avut atunci,noi românii! Ultima echipă de vis a României,care ne-a scos pe străzi! Eram copil și trăiam cu frenezie acele momente,acum am nepoți și am doar amintiri....
Thanks for sharing! Such a great team and memories! I remember the game was broadcasted between 2 and 4 am in the night. After the game we were on the streets to celebrate it. Nobody was sleeping. Hagi was the best Romanian player of all-time and one of the greatest player in the world at that time. He would have deserved more than a quarter final, which we lost against Sweden at penalties.
One of the best games of USA 94.The Argies were looking like serious contenders until the Maradona scandal and then fell apart.What a fine team Romania were back then and such a great player Hagi was.
Not even the finals between Brazil and Italy could have come close to it. I remember watching that match live. It was a Sunday afternoon. I was 14 years old. Boy that was soccer at its best. Highest level. Total football.
this was the kind of match you didn't know who to root for, Romania was playing inspired football with Hagi and Argentina who just lost Maradona but still had the best collection of super stars, beautiful game it was
Possibly the greatest World Cup game I watched live on TV: up there with England 0-1 Brazil in 1970 and England 1-2 Argentina 1986 (I'm an England supporter). My only tiny criticism of this otherwise excellent and comprehensive highlights package is that it omits the start of the move leading to the second Romanian goal, which was a thing of great beauty and featured an additional glorious one-two between Haji and Dumitrescu. Thank you to the uploader for this and other videos on their excellent channel.
Even though England and France were not in the 94 W.cup, the other European countries played superb technical skills football, Romania and Bulgaria , it was a brilliant 94 W.cup to watch.
I agree. It was a great game. What if..? Maradona had played? Not sure, maybe Argentina would have played different. The Romanians played the counter attack tactics in a smart way!
The USA World Cup in 94 was one of the best I have seen since my first in Spain 82. It was the performances of the 'lesser' nations Romania, Bulgaria and Sweden that made it extra special for me, those three were superb.
Sole credit goes to Hagi for being a real team captain. These Argentinians were absolutely insurmountable, this was a miracle. God bless Argentina Romania and every country that ever loved sport.
Even the Argentines respected the Romanian team even if they lost against Romania. Why, ?Fair-play first and second because it was a really nice match perhaps the most beautiful of the world cup 1994
Rumania en aquella época era equipaso ,siendo que Colombia era favorita y le ganó en el primer partidos ,tenían a Dumitrescu, Hagi y el veloz Radiciouo y eran simpático los apellidos de ellos en la defensa estaba popescu ,filipescu, Lupescu como quiero que Rumania esté otra vez en el mundial!!!!!Paraguay te apoya fuerza 💪💪💪💛💛👏👏

George Hagi bir Romanya efsanesi, ne mutlu ki Romanya'nın yetiştirdiği bu büyük yıldız Galatasaray'ın da efsanesi oldu ve unutulmaz futbolcular arasına girdi.
@@viorels88 I don t think that s the reason. With Maradonna on the field in a much better shape, at world cup 1990, Romania made a draw, 1-1. They were better than, they had Maradonna and Caniggia,we (romanians) didn't have the great team we will have on 1994, and still they did not win that game, so...what makes you believe that in 1994, when we had a much better team than in 1990, Argentina , with a weaker team than the one from 1990, would have won the game if a much weaker Maradonna was on the field ?
Remember, I was a fan of Romania and Bulgaria for 12 years, Lachkov, Stochkov and Giorgi Hadji, Badistuta, Roberto Baggio, Bebto, Romario Thomas Brolin were the best of the cup, I remember Salenco from Russia scored 5 goals in one game, Stochkov scored 7 The game scored 6 goals 😍❤️ Giorgi Hadji alone brought Romania to the quarter. Stochkov and Bajo alone lead Bulgaria and Italy to the classification and the finals. Romanian fan from Iran ❤️❤️
Una gran selección la Rumana. Tenian al Maradona de los Carpatos...al gran George Hagi...y no solamemte a el... Ese partido fue mo primer gran frustración y tristeza como argentino.
@@МаратВильданов-ч2х Maradona, Canijia, esas veces ya eran veteranos , no hubiesen podido aguantar el trajín del partido, eran viejos. Yo esas veces era joven 😁
Extraordinar meci. Și acum plâng de emoție. Va mulțumim din tot sufletul pentru bucuriile extraordinare pe care ni le.ati făcut și pe care le simțim de câte ori privim meciurile voastre. Va iubim și acum. Dumnezeu sa va aibă în paza!
HAGİ ve POPESCU bizim kahramanlarımız oldu yani GALATASARAY'ın. Onlarla beraber UEFA KUPASINI ve AVRUPA SÜPER KUPASINI kazandık. Onlar hep büyük bir sevgi ve saygı ile anılacaklar.
I was 27yo back in 1994. One of the best matches in FIFA´s history (since I do watch it since 1974). Argies were shuterered by Maradonas doping scandal. And Romanians had their own - the Carpathian Maradona - Georghe Hagi.
A Argentina tinha um time fantastico, mas foi surpreendida pela Romênia que tava jogando muita bola, inclusive a Romênia ganhou da Colômbia que era a seleção favorita para ganhar aquela copa.
Essa Romênia era espetacular! Raj comeu a bola nessa Copa do Mundo. Apesar de se classificar com as calças na mão, a Argentina tinha um timaço e tava jogando bem até esse jogo.
Eu não sei se de FATO ela era favorita, mas que jogadores de alto nível ela tinha. Não foi atoa que essa mesma Colômbia meteu uma goleada na Argentina de 4x0 ou 6x0 (não lembro) pelas eliminatórias para a copa!
My favourite WC. Romania, Bulgaria and Nigeria all impressed me. Argentina had a amazing squad. If Maradonna was not sent home i think they would reach final
5 millones rumanos se fueran a trabajar afuera del pays desde que Rumania entro en Union Europea. mira a Roberta Guerca, compite por Italia. Emma Raducanu compite por UK, Bianca Andreescu compite por Canada la cuarta parte de la populacion de Rumania esta afuera del pays... son tiempos muy duros, es una diaspora masivo
Cara esse Romeno Gheorghe Hagi era um dos MELHORES jogadores que surgiram no Leste europeu. Pena que ele não deu MUITO certo nas suas passagens pelo futebol espanhol tanto no Real Madrid e no Barcelona!
yeah mostly because he said he felt anxious in the spanish clubs due to the fact he played with great players at the time and the bar was very high for him
Romania made European football & European sport proud on this day. Forza Romania Viva Romania Viva Europa Viva UEFA Forza UEFA Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
No creo que pronto veamos otra selección rumana como esta, pocos hablan del tremendo portero que se cargaban, recordamos mucho al gran Hagi que ya es una leyenda seguramente en Rumania, equipazo.
@@diegosilva3816 Pois é né, até HOJE é o maior artilheiro da Argentina em copas do mundo da Fifa. Nem o paparicado do Messi conseguiu fazer o mesmo número de gols em copas que ELE fez. E detalhe, a maior parte dos gols do Gabriel Bastituta foi na fase de grupos, e a Argentina não foi MUITO longe nessas copas, mal passou das oitavas de final, imagina se a Argentina tivesse chegado mais longe nas edições de 94, 98, e 2002, talvez HOJE o Bastituta fosse o maior artilheiro em copas do mundo!

This match marked my mind as one of the most beautiful i saw.
One of the best game in wc history with an amazing technical level from both. It would been even more legendary had Diego been there
@Adrian WT Maradona was at the 94 World Cup in the Argentine team. He played in the group stage (Argentina, Nigeria, Greece and Bulgaria).

Cristian Topescu, the best Romanian sports commentator, football, handball and gymnastic. Unfortunately, he passed away some years ago.

They were better than, they had Maradonna and Caniggia,we (romanians) didn't have the great team we will have on 1994, and still they did not win that game, so...what makes you believe that in 1994, when we had a much better team than in 1990, Argentina , with a weaker team than the one from 1990, would have won the game if a much weaker Maradonna was on the field ?
Nice comment! Congratulation for being correct! Regards from Romania!
Equipazo Rumano,bien ganado,partidazo..saludos desde montevideo..
Remember, I was a fan of Romania and Bulgaria for 12 years, Lachkov, Stochkov and Giorgi Hadji, Badistuta, Roberto Baggio, Bebto, Romario Thomas Brolin were the best of the cup, I remember Salenco from Russia scored 5 goals in one game, Stochkov scored 7 The game scored 6 goals 😍❤️ Giorgi Hadji alone brought Romania to the quarter. Stochkov and Bajo alone lead Bulgaria and Italy to the classification and the finals. Romanian fan from Iran ❤️❤️
Romênia de Hagi e Bulgária de Stoichkov foram sensações nesta copa.
One of the saddest exits in history for Argentina! Yet Romania had a remarkable epic run!
"Ar trebui să ne faceți statuie, da,da, nu râde. Tu ăla cu mustață"
Să ne ierți Gică, dar mare dreptate ai avut 🙏🏼
😃😃👍
The best time ever Romanian had a team love play they won to Argentina..love Romanian people
94年のルーマニア🇷🇴はまさにアメージング❗️ドゥミトレスクをはじめ、ポペスク、ルペスク、ラカトシュ、ラドチョウ、そして極めつけはハジ。その後永らく低迷しているが復活が待たれる。
EU ERA FAN DE STOICHKOV E HAGI NA ÉPOCA REALMENTE NUNCA MAIS VEREMOS JOGADORES DO NÍVEL
VERDADE, eu particularmente não vi muito esse George Hige jogando, já o Hristo Stoichkov eu cheguei a ver jogando pelo Barcelona no futebol retrô!
C'était la grande époque de l'équipe roumaine. Quelle équipe magnifique!
Una gran selección la Rumana. Tenian al Maradona de los Carpatos...al gran George Hagi...y no solamemte a el... Ese partido fue mo primer gran frustración y tristeza como argentino.
брат,куда смотрел тренер сборной,где Гойкоэчеа,от Исласа пользы нет .Не хватает Дона Диего и Каниджи
привет из России
@@МаратВильданов-ч2х Maradona, Canijia, esas veces ya eran veteranos , no hubiesen podido aguantar el trajín del partido, eran viejos. Yo esas veces era joven 😁
O generație de excepție, le-a arătat fotbal,ne-au adus bucurie .Prea curând cu jucători pe care ii avem nu mai avem națională ca aceea din 1994.
Rumänien bei der WM 94 hat mich fasziniert,besonders Superstar Hagi 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Una lastima
Muy buena selección exelentes jugadores que traía Rumania....algunos de ellos jugaron en nuestro país...que recuerdos .
Extraordinar meci. Și acum plâng de emoție. Va mulțumim din tot sufletul pentru bucuriile extraordinare pe care ni le.ati făcut și pe care le simțim de câte ori privim meciurile voastre. Va iubim și acum. Dumnezeu sa va aibă în paza!
Hagi is a LEGEND
Todo o respeito aos romenos e sua incrível seleção de 94!!!! Saudações do Brasil!!!
Pena que nossas equipes não se encontraram nas semifinais. Teria sido uma partida espetacular.
@@catalinal488 sim...seria uma final antecipada...
Uma das melhores copas que eu vi esse jogo foi fantástico eu tinha 10 anos mais vi esse jogão show.
Numai legende ale fotbalului mondial,,iar țara noastră era de neînvins.... o echipă trup și suflet pentru țara noastră
One of the best world cup games ever.
Esse passe pro segundo gol da Romenia foi uma obra prima
Esa Rumania era mortal! Acabó con Colombia en dos mundiales seguidos.. Hagi es un verdugo de sueños
Hagi monstro... autêntico 10. Uma pena que não brilhou no Barça e nem no Real...
Hagi hatte auch bei Real oder Barcelona seine glänzenden Momente,die Konstanz hatte ihn ein wenig gefehlt.
É uma pena que não perseverasse dentro dos dois clubes.
HAGİ ve POPESCU bizim kahramanlarımız oldu yani GALATASARAY'ın.
Onlarla beraber UEFA KUPASINI ve AVRUPA SÜPER KUPASINI kazandık.
Onlar hep büyük bir sevgi ve saygı ile anılacaklar.
Rumania un equipazo, grandes jugadores, lástima que ya no hayan sacado jugadores de esa calidad.
Sosyalizm bitti ve üst düzey, yetenekli sporcular yetiştirmeleri bitti ne yazık ki. Bu jenerasyon Romanya'nın son altın jenerasyonuydu.
Unfortunately that's the sad truth! I am romanian and i appreciate your comments!
George Hagi was like Maradona to Argentina. When he was in the Romanian team everyone who played with him performed very well.
He made us Galatasaray european champs
I was 27yo back in 1994. One of the best matches in FIFA´s history (since I do watch it since 1974). Argies were shuterered by Maradonas doping scandal. And Romanians had their own - the Carpathian Maradona - Georghe Hagi.
De los mejores mundiales que he visto.
The best national team of Romania, greetings from Hungary. I only was 7 years old nd I couldn't see the big team.
Uno de los partidos mas bellos jugados. Que buen partido.
Essa geração romena daquela seleção era simplesmente sensacional!
A Argentina tinha um time fantastico, mas foi surpreendida pela Romênia que tava jogando muita bola, inclusive a Romênia ganhou da Colômbia que era a seleção favorita para ganhar aquela copa.
Só o Pelé dizia isso...
😂😂😂
Essa Romênia era espetacular! Raj comeu a bola nessa Copa do Mundo. Apesar de se classificar com as calças na mão, a Argentina tinha um timaço e tava jogando bem até esse jogo.
Eu não sei se de FATO ela era favorita, mas que jogadores de alto nível ela tinha.
Não foi atoa que essa mesma Colômbia meteu uma goleada na Argentina de 4x0 ou 6x0 (não lembro) pelas eliminatórias para a copa!
@@flandresdenexo8122
Não foi 4 a 0 e nem 6 a 0
Foi 5 a 0
No TH-cam tem vídeo mostrando o jogo.
Obrigado.
A Romênia foi o time sensação desta copa. Hagi jogou muito bem esta edição.
My favourite WC. Romania, Bulgaria and Nigeria all impressed me. Argentina had a amazing squad. If Maradonna was not sent home i think they would reach final
Mata rag is the toilet
La migliore squadra di quel mondiale era però l'italia
Dumitrescu si hagi au facut sah mat argentina , ma bucur ca m am nascut in 1994 , un an de mandrie pentru fotbalul romanesc
Eu torci pra Romênia como se os romenos fossem o Brasil. Jogo lindo! A partida mais foda da copa.
🙏
Parmis les plus beaux matchs du monde.
J'ai aimé les performances exceptionnelles de la roumanie et de la bulgarie dans cette coupe du monde
Gracias por hacernos volver al buen tiempo.
George Hagi the Best
essa seleção da Romênia era muito boa ,na minha opinião ela foi a melhor seleção que a Romênia já mandou pra uma copa
Com certeza,eu sou da Romenia e o esporte em general caiu muito.
Romania Goalkeeper was a beast❤🐐
Una gran selección esa de Rumanía llena de figuras encabezadas por el gran George Hagi. Algunos de ellos vinieron a jugar aquí a México
Viva Romania from Iran.
Everybody loved Romania and Bulgaria at this world cup,but Romania such a tragedy to lose against Sweden
Que lástima que Rumania ahora no es ni la sombra de lo que fue, sería fantastico ver una selección así en Qatar
Perdieron el repechaje con MACEDONIA, en un grupo facilisimo donde solamente alemania era bueno
@@jeremiassilvera4781 se quedó a un punto de no ir ojalá, para la próxima pueda
Igual ahora Europa tiene un gran nivel de selecciones para mi ganan el mundial otra vez
5 millones rumanos se fueran a trabajar afuera del pays desde que Rumania entro en Union Europea.
mira a Roberta Guerca, compite por Italia. Emma Raducanu compite por UK, Bianca Andreescu compite por Canada
la cuarta parte de la populacion de Rumania esta afuera del pays... son tiempos muy duros, es una diaspora masivo
@@jeremiassilvera4781 but we kicked argentinian ass back in 1994 :)
Gheorghi Hagi the Maradona of the Carpathians👍🙏💪
Cara esse Romeno Gheorghe Hagi era um dos MELHORES jogadores que surgiram no Leste europeu.
Pena que ele não deu MUITO certo nas suas passagens pelo futebol espanhol tanto no Real Madrid e no Barcelona!
Mais ele deu super certo na Turquia. Ele e um icone por la. Eu sou romena e lembro da epoca 😍
@@Una_aleatoria12 VERDADE, disso eu sei, as passagens dele pelo Steua Bucareste e pelo Galatasaray foram marcantes!
yeah mostly because he said he felt anxious in the spanish clubs due to the fact he played with great players at the time and the bar was very high for him
HAGI, WORLD CLASS ! ❤⚽️🤴
Romania made European football & European sport proud on this day. Forza Romania Viva Romania Viva Europa Viva UEFA Forza UEFA Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Europa no te quiere Rumano...los argentinos te querenos mas de lo que te quiere un inglés o un frances.
@@theloniousmonk81 He is not European, and nor are you, Alcaluf.
we don't need to be loved by anybody, but we still haave our own language and you don't
Vay be Hagi ne futbolcydun ❤️
I love you Hagi ❤️
Legend of Galatasaray
No creo que pronto veamos otra selección rumana como esta, pocos hablan del tremendo portero que se cargaban, recordamos mucho al gran Hagi que ya es una leyenda seguramente en Rumania, equipazo.
I was 10 years old at the time, and I admit that the technical level of this tournament was very high
Foi um jogo e tanto .. Me lembro como se fosse hoje .👏🏾👏🏾
O que o Batistuta jogava era brincadeira, Ragi destruiu nessa copa.
@@diegosilva3816 Pois é né, até HOJE é o maior artilheiro da Argentina em copas do mundo da Fifa.
Nem o paparicado do Messi conseguiu fazer o mesmo número de gols em copas que ELE fez.
E detalhe, a maior parte dos gols do Gabriel Bastituta foi na fase de grupos, e a Argentina não foi MUITO longe nessas copas, mal passou das oitavas de final, imagina se a Argentina tivesse chegado mais longe nas edições de 94, 98, e 2002, talvez HOJE o Bastituta fosse o maior artilheiro em copas do mundo!
Дааа, был футбол, настоящие мужики играли в мужскую, сейчас смотреть практически невозможно, тату, паления когда надо и не надо… Батигол конечно на всю жизнь
After this match,Hong Kong peoples called Hagi east Europe Maradona！
I was 12 during that world cup. And since then, i've found every world cup really boring to watch except maybe for the One with Germany destroying Brazil in their home 1-7 !
1994 was really something special and a blast to watch
Unul din cele mai faine meciuri pe care le-am cistigat cu una din cele mai periculoase echipe din lume.⚽⚽⚽ _ ⚽⚽
Romania use to be so strong can even beat Argentina
