I was 15 then, watching the first half from home. Jarni scores, I get on my landline phone, call my friend, and we're outside the minute the 1st half ended. Tons of firecrackers, even guns shooting into the sky (Someone also had tracer ammo), and then the whole neighborhood driving slowly and using their horn all the time. I saw my friend get on a truck with like 3-4 girls and 3-4 guys, and wanted to get it. The driver took off, but saw me running and kinda slowed down as everyone on it cheered me to get on. I felt I broke the world sprint record in 20, 50, and 100m :D and I hoped on, and got on with them pulling me in. Everyone scraped a couple of kuna and gave the unknown driver for gas, and we spent the net hour or whatever riding through the hood, waving the Croatian flag and basically having a great time. I'll never forget that, as long as I live.
honestly, its crazy with how many fouls the croatian team got away without bookings. Just 2 yellow cards, and especially seeing the cards the referee handed to the german players, you cant help but see something dodgy going on there.
Greetings from Bulgaria! Croatia repeated what Bulgaria did to the Germans in ‘94, with even more dominance! 😁 We were rooting for you in 2018 as well!
Just chech Cro sport champs and national teams From ALPINE SKI female of all time Janica Kostelić to Mirko Cro Cop goat of K1 , Stipe Miočić is 🇭🇷 origin , at least more 2 boxing WC HANDBALL and WATERPOLO at least final every bellow is failure in our terms NBA HALL OF FAME second most by number of "rest the world" TENIS single and 2 Davis Cup Čilić, Ivanišević , Ančić, Ljubičić, Prpić , tallest ever to play Ivo Karlović lol ATLETHICS as you wish SAILLING Brothers Sinković are GOATS of 2 disciplines , brothers Skelin etc. FIRST ULTRAS GROUP in Europe came from Split in Croatia called TORCIDA SPLIT" 1950 after WC in Brasil when they saw 200K Maracana Town of Split has the highest Olympics medal "per capita" And etc etc etc
im Croatian,i follow football religiously for 15 years,and you are SO right,these mataches have that "retro old" vibe to it,it was just pure football,0 controversy,0 crying,twas the BEST! even tho we were 2nd in 2018 we were 3rd also here in 1998
Always friends, and always sport rivals with huge respect! See you next summer in Germany on Euro, and later in Croatia on holidays, dear German friend :)
We had that going back then. You did us ''dirty'' in 1996., we took revenge in 1998. Croatians love Germans, this was just 2 years of sport rivalry many years ago. We don't forget Germany was among the 1st countries to acknowledge Croatia as an independent country. We are always happy to have German tourists here in the summer time. Good health and long life to all my German friends!
Ova momčad nije nimalo bolja od one iz 2018 u Rusiji, naposljetku igrali smo u finalu protiv 12 igrača, i da nas nisu hijene pokrali mi bi uzeli 🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
One of the biggest surprises of the world cup ever, a triple world champion beaten with quality of play and a clean sheet score by a team with it first aparence and seven years after creation of this country from 1991 to 1998.😊🇭🇷
I'll never forget this match. It was full of bad blood. We wanted to pay the Germans back for that loss at the Euro 1996 in England. And boy, we did, with interests. This one has been my favourite Croatia's victory altogether with the ones against England in 2007 and 2018. Thank you for this video. Cheers from Adelaide, South Australia!
Well back in 1996 Croatia only had themselves to blame, because on that occasion they still considered the tactical foul play equally important as playing the actual game effectively. Not that by now they abandoned the former, or even by 1998 - Wörns was all but Hamrin'ed by Suker, let's be honest here - but at least meanwhile they've learned the latter.
@@davorlovric3657 Ooaah c'mon, don't gimme that...! I remember those games clearly enough...there used to be hardly any ball given up lost without going for the opponents' (any, not just Germany's) shin first. Or after. These guys used to be very lucky to finish 11, and all the more rightful not to...
@@maxmeister5064 Croatia have always been tough and physical as far as I remember. Great technicians but they have also known how to cope with the arrogance of so-called better opponents who looked down upon on their opponents and couldn't stand to lose from so-called weaker teams. I just guess who these teams are. England comes first on my mind and the second one, have a guess. Yes, you had a help from a match official and I do remember that match very well. Regarding the current German team, I can see they have gone woke and progressive with a certain armbands colour combination. Go woke, go broke. Your team have been running on renewable energy lately and I can see it hasn't worked out very well for a strong and resilient German team which I fondly remember from the past. Never die untill the last second. But, that's a different story. 3.8million people and still able to kick some big asses in the world of football. That's Croatia. Hard to watch them sometimes but that's my destiny. Looking forward to the Euro 2024 and Merry Christmas and Happy New year.!
@@davorlovric3657 "Tough" play - yeah right, Gospodine. And in the same stanza quarrel about an official "helping" the other team "out". Wake up, man... Oh a propos wake - I am not exactly a fan of woke and pro LGBTQ stuff myself, so the two of us actually agree on, rather than antagonize over Go Woke Go Broke. Which Good Old Germany has done in fact.
All three would have resigned from the team anyway after the WC. The whole team was criticized, e.g. defender Jörg Heinrich for turning his body away from Jarni‘s shot at the first goal, and all the other defenders for not being anywhere close.
I remember that match quite well. It was a good example how one event can shift a whole match. Until the red card, Germany, although not especially convincing, were clearly superior. Croatia were almost not happening in attack. Then the double blow of red card and Jarny‘s wonder shot shortly before the break changed the whole match.
Croacia es un mata gigantes. Le ganó desde el 98 para acá a : Alemania, Inglaterra, Holanda, argentina, Brasil. Italia.... No es poca cosa, además de salir tercera dos veces y subcampeón una
Iam so happy that france win over croatia in 2018.....as a german dude we became two time worldchampion in my life time. And you will never get this feeling, because you are a racist 😂😂😂 you supid little b a s t a r d
Mathaus was old, Klinsman was getting up there too, Germany had a mediocre team for its standards historically. Suker was a major star, Boban was starting for Milan, Croatia had a lot of top talent. The only thing that was somewhat surprising was the extent of the defeat
اتذكر هذه المباراة كنت في الصف الثالث متوسط و ضجت كلش على خسارة المانيا بس صراحة و انا بشوف هذا الملخص جنني اللاعب تارنت من كثر ما ضيع ضربات حره يعني لو هامان مسدد نص هاي الفاولات كان يمكن سجل كول عموما المانيا حتى لو ما خسرت مع كرواتيا كان اكيد تخسر مع فرنسا بنصف النهائي بالتوفيق للمانشافت في يورو 2024
Croatia, like the Netherlands, deserves better in terms of results, much more than certain nations (the English in 1966, Mussolini's Italy in 1934 and 1938, without forgetting the doped Germans in 1990)
Croatia were a fantastically skillful team,but for some reason would spend more time involved in niggedly battles and personal squabbles when they had quality to easily beat a team! And this was about the time,when u saw lots of diving& cheating become a major part of the game!
That game between Croatia and Germany at the Euro 1996 was still fresh in the Croatian players mind. The Germans got cocky before this match. This was more than a game. And Croatia did have skillful players, but they always played hard and tough football. Asanović was a great technician with the ball, but he knew how to use his elbows in tackles.
Yaşlı Almanya’nın nefesi yetmedi. Hırvatlar çok sert oynamalarına rağmen kırmızı kart Almanlara çıktı. Fransa bürokrasisi tarafından ayarlanmış bir maç…
Bayern didn't get to the final in 1998 , though Lothar left Bayern in march 2000 and we finally won the champions League again the following season in 2001, maybe it was just written in the stars that he wouldn't win the European cup, remember he also played in the 1987 final Vs Porto were we were leading 1-0 with 10 minutes to go and lost 2-1 .
@@danielstanic2498Covjek je u pravu ,to se desilo na Evropskom.prvenstvu 1976 u Zagrebu .Prvo poluvrijeme 2:0 za Yu,n'a kraju 2:4 .Ali nije igrala Hrvatska vec Yu.
And Germany has won 4 World Cups! How many World Cup did Croatia win? Germany win the World Cup in 2014 in South America and Croatia was eliminated in that World Cup in the first round.
@@williamMaezawaCroatia is a small country of 4m people, they do great given the amount of people.. You have lost Germany anyway, Turks and Africans represent your country
This Croatian Team is the greatest that the country has. #Suker was a dangerouse striker. The only reason that he didnt won a Ballon D'Or is due the presence of Zidan and Ronaldo Brazil. However, I prefer Suker to Stoichkov, who won Balon D'Or in 1994. #Boban was one of the greatest midfielder in his era. I prefer Boban to Modric in terms of technical skills. #Stanic was awesome winger. #Bilic was an outstanding defender. # In general that team was complete and played a fantastic football.
I forgot that germany got red card and had to play 50 minutes with 10 player. Well fought, but i think i would still be 1:0, maybe 1:1 without the red card.
Many, many bad fouls by Croatia and no red card. One foul by Wörns, red card immediately. Germany had 3 100% chances but didn't score. So you'll loose the match in the end for sure.Croatia did the right things in this match, to get under the skin of the Germans.
croatia had hardly any fouls, while germany thought they could continue playing brutal football that got them the title in 1996. in the end, they were outclassed by the favorites.
@@marcovelofreund2541 germany always played brutal football especially in the 1980s. claiming the opposite is bullshit, buddy. schumacher and battitson ring a bell? but yeah, remain in denial if it helps you, good luck.
Veronica, es ist egal, das war aber das erste Mal, dass jemand Deutschland vorgeführt hat.. Darauf kommt es an. Das war die erste WM für Kroatien. Aber das kannst du nicht wissen, du bist eben eine Frau
