EURO 2000 highlights: Portugal 3-2 England 

Adel Gzyl I totally agree with you! Rui Costa was my favourite Portuguese player at that time. A very talented player with great skills (technique, vision, pass, shot).

Yep Rui Costa 😍

He was a fantastic player - so elegant, so skilful.

Yes man. My childhood hero

As non Benfica fan I have to agree

João Vieira Pinto

Nuno Gomes

Kids these days have no idea how great they were

João Pinto was crazy...

Deflection ...it was a rubbish goal On second thoughts Smyth in the guardian exposes it

Yeah dude ikr their partnership is one of greatest ever.

La visione di Totti era superiore a quella di Rui costa, Totti miglior assist man della serie A oltre che al secondo marcatore di tutti i tempi

best goal i/ve ever seen

He was well known for his aerial prowess .. But still one heck of a header

riisky header that was. boot to face!!

Excuse me, it's Yow Pinto (apparently).

@@JMoruzzi haha

Is that because they beat England all the time?

@@johnbo51able yes

I don't care

@@blabla-rg7ky k

As a Portuguese man born in England I LOVE scotland. The kit, the passion, the country and it's history. The national anthem is my favourite. Am hoping you guys qualify for major tournaments again!

zz zz Not anymore 🖕

zz zz clueless

@zz zz hold on now.. England beat Panama 6-1 plus Southgate is a really nice guy

zz zz who England? It’s probably the best team in the world in current form

@zz zz errmmm.... have you seen sancho, Hudson odoi, foden, Alexander Arnold, sessegnon or Nelson? The future is England's

English always ignores other teams, they regularly think they can beat anyone without doing proper checks on their rivals. And English football is not fluent like pass pass move, no pure dribbler in their team, no skilful players out there like Portugal 🇵🇹, Spain 🇪🇸 and France 🇫🇷. They play like RUGBY 🏉. A very solid game without dribbles

​@@danielchristopher9898They play differently...The English are more a Germanic people...they will never play like the Mediterraneans. The English need to be more like Germany

Only JESUS CHRIST can save your soul from the flames of hell!

@@bekennejesusdeinesundenund2427 ok bro

Look at England kit and France's ain much better. Nike really have lost their touch over the years. No wonder Man Utd finally ditched them. Adidas is the only big brand left that tries to stay modern.

hahaha muito bom

KaDoxPT !

Fernando Morant italy the best selecion of Europe.england is loserd,world cup 1966 germany the real champion

Nike's equipment are the same for every country they just change the colours, so boring.

It's so good and flawless in execution it almost doesn't look special. But who has ever really done that? I can't recall seeing such a goal. One of the best headers I've ever seen, international football or not.

​@@jeanlundi2141 João Pinto despite his small height was, technically, one of the best aerial players I've ever seen.

Joao Pinto despite his size was one of the best headers in the sport in his time

For me the best was that header from borgetti against italy in 2002 wc

To this day I still can't believe it went in. It had to be perfectly executed and it was.

Gracias hermano, viva Ibéria.

te amamos viva la peninsula

Naturaliza-te irmão

Agreed, Joao Pinto was a legend but unfortunately underrated

now you sold your Television so you don't know if its still entertaining or not

Are you mad or what,today its more idiot

Euro 2016 was shite but World Cup 2018 was unexpectedly entertaining

Verdade

@@R3z4n lol world cup 2018 sucked tbh!

Agree, and i am Portuguese!

How are they ‘Greater’ if they’ve achieved less? Probably ‘better’ is the word you are looking for.

jinz0001 it was harder to qualify then, also Rui costs got sent off for his second yellow in the last game when he took too long to walk off the pitch, so we had to play Germany with 10 and didn't qualify.

2000 till 2006 Portugal has a alien team!

GTS The only Portugal team that is comparable is the 2012 euro team tbh

2006 WC was good too.

Me too...

I forgot about it...seeing it now I've no idea why!

I never forgot it. That game made me love football.

His problem tbh was the inability of getting himself in unmarked areas. If you watch him he would make runs but into spaces where defenders were a lot of the times.

He was more of a second striker, Portugal always lacked a reall number 9..and sometimes the "inhability" to call players from smaller teams in our league didn't help. Big clubs always lobbied for their players, so they could market them. Nuno Gomes was a good forward, especially at this time, when he was playing in Serie A. I would play him over Pauleta any day of the week.

Not just with portugal but almost every team , Holand , Germany, England, Brazil , Italy , Argentina, etc ... definitely there is something missing nowadays

Exactly! Best era for football,late 90s and early 2000s

Don't agree, the defending was horrible on both sides.

Well this England is the same overrated team from 2010-2016. The only exception is Beckham with his passing, free kicks etc. Everyone else we see here and Gerrard, Lampard, Terry etc overrated.

The game now is too tactical

thank you

@@andrewjoyce9038Scholes was one of the best midfielders in the prem and Beckham was a good free kick tacker.

@@jcb_boxing zidane and xavi called Scholes the best midfielder of his generation

And Vitor Baia

It was great, no doubt, but your statement is still debatable. The Portuguese golden generation lacked a serious goalscorer. In the first half of the 1990's, the team went from strikers of the late 80's, mainly Domingos and Cadete. Then the team went for Nuno Gomes, who was from the 1995 generation. Gomes was still young and his goalscoring abilities were at his peak between 1997 and 2000, but none of them had the strenght for better defenders, like in France or Italy.

Wait and see... This EURO will be amazing

lol? dont think so, we re muuch stronger than 2014 worldcup , the difference is abysmal. Portugal 2000 team was very strong too. I think our decline happened after euro 2008 until worldcup 2014 but we re back baby. I think we might reach semi / finals in this euro 2016.

True.... or like now Quaresma & Ronaldo

Scholes and Owen?

you mean two great midfielders??? Spain of course: Iniesta and Xavi or Iniesta and Silva; or France: Zidane and Henry if you mean one great midfielder and striker...Brazil: Rivaldo and Ronaldo. You should be more accurate with your question. It is not clear.

Omg Man, me too Since this match I m fam of Portugal

France's team was even better that's why :) barthez, blanc, desailly, thuram, lizarazu, deschamps, makelele, petit, zidane, henry, anelka, trezeguet, pires, wiltord

TheAvenger62 Well we only lost via golden goal so :)

it just france year..they were purely lucky against holland

Because their were alot of those topteams at the time! Take a look at other teams who didn't win anything around that time like The Netherlands,Italy,Spain,England,Portugal! They were all loaded with great players. In The Netherlands we ask ourselves the same question that you just asked

because you lost to greece

So true.

yes his name is Eder and the other one was just outside the pitch for all game

Hahaha younger ronaldo did the dribble and everything but never was he better than figo

gammergq I totally agree with you!

Different Players

Yy Yy nice joke dude

ronaldo can score just against weak teams

Same here

I don't know if it's because I'm portuguese, but I have the same feeling. I don't even remember the match too well. But I remember the impact it had on me.

And so was Italy, France, Germany...

Germany? Portugal trashed them with their betch team by 3 0 on this tournament.

With no luck

Better individual players, but more grit and never surender attitude in 2016

Actually, no. Fernando Santos’s playstyle is (poorly) defensive, compared to the more open style back in 2000. We could be a more offensive team, if only we had fast middlefielders for possession and playmaking. We don’t. Well, we do. They’re just not on the usual roster.

Navneet Gill Paul scholes.

Figo won that game though ... ;)

Craig Smart - LOL! Funny man!

Dennis Lewis Xavi: Paul Scholes is a role model. For me - and I really mean this - he's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years. Zinedine Zidane: My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder. Scholes is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of his generation.

@@craigsmart1986 Pauls got more attention because he was playing on england (english fans overhype every player up) not saying scholes is a bad player he is a legend but rui costa is so underrated. Rui costa was so elegant so classy you saw what he did there. And batistuta (batigol) said that he was the best player he have played with and almost every goal he scored with fiorentina came from his feet.

To be fair, in 2004 portugal was playing at home so they had an entire nation on their side

It wasn't Rui Costa, though he played brilliant in both occasions but in 2004 he came from the bench.. In 2000, Pinto, Figo and Gomes were also important. England has no chance against Portugal. In my opinion England may be competitive against Portugal but the Portuguese of that extra mile of class in its players. Nothing but the truth

you must be a Benfica guy

@@Miguel-nm4tn I wouldn't say no chance. Keep in mind we had players like Beckham, Ferdinand, Cole, Lampard, Gerrad and Rooney on our side. If we just had a manager who could have unlocked all of their full talents then Portugal would be the ones struggling

@@sominboy2757 Actually, there were more English than Portuguese in the stadium on the 2004 match.

And England prick

Wow really?

Not really, England never looked like they'd hang on - Portugal created every time they went forward

Best come back ever type in reading 5-7 arsenal if you haven't seen it yet. Absolutely amazing game

Hardly, Figo blasted his shot straight at the keeper. The only reason it went into the corner like that is because it took a (very lucky) deflection off of the defender.

@@therussianspy5882 shut up man what do you know

Tiki taka before Guardiola. The combination and quality of passing during this game was the best I watched from a Portugal team in 25 years. Until today we didn’t played at this technical level imo.

Brave header Campbell is a big sob

I fell asleep during Euro 2016 games...only woke up with Wales and the final of course! Fds Crl!!!

I am a fan who recently started watching his sport how this team plays different to the team that won the euros can you explain me

@@lovemycountrylovemycountry8889 the 2000 team played more on the offensive and they had lots of attacking collective plays. There was more concern about scoring goals than preventing the other team from scoring. The 2016 team, by contrast, was more defensive. The current Portuguese team is a mix of 2000 and 2016.

And AC Milan !!! He was a beast there

How you doing are you not the guy who trolls all the England football video's.

Jorge Costa, was not a national team level player eather...the goalkeeper perhaps, because I don't think we had better, execept for younger guys that were inexperienced. Nuno Gomes was good playing with two guys infront, not to play the "big man" in between the defenders. And this strategy was too romantic anyway. Beautifull plays but uneffective...Put any other players in place of this legends and the game would end 5-0 or more lol

E que golos. Lol dois golos em que não houve marcação e os defesas estavam sabe-se lá onde... Parecia um campo vazio só com os atacantes ingleses que só tiveram que encostar. Hoje em dia, é impensável uma defesa assim. Felizmente que Portugal foi melhorando nesse aspeto e até conseguiu um euro à custa sobretudo da defesa.

Agree, I wouldn’t put my head to that ball. Sol Campbell is a big sob.

@Kostas - Κώστας Μπ Greece last 7 Euro's how was it? Compare with the Portuguese please? Let me know the lesson you take from it..

That game went the same way as this one lol, Netherlands went 2-0 up and the Czechs came back and won, it was in Euro 2004.

Not best ever chance. They were playing Zidane era world champions 🇫🇷 in semi-final and even if 🇵🇹 got through that game (which they didn't) they would've had to beat another great team when in worse condition than they were vs 🇫🇷. It was however Portugal's most convincing tournament this century to date. But 2 other teams 🇳🇱 & 🇮🇹 were both unluckier not to win it and both statistically better than 🇵🇹. 🇫🇷 had some luck (not with their knockout route Portugal got to play 🇹🇷 where as France got 🇪🇸 before 🇵🇹 & 🇮🇹) some luck in the games but were still worthy winners, anyone who won the 1996-2012 format were there were just some other teams who were just as worthy who didn't win it was designed to be hard for everyone but also fair format for everyone but the better you performed the greater your reward would be. You couldn't be rewarded for failure like 🇵🇹 were rewarded for failure in 2016 the new messed up format where they avoided playing 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇧🇪 🇩🇪 and instead faced loads of major tournament newbies.

96 to 06 was the best generation we had in history, much better than Eusebio´s generation or these generation of bottlers who can't even win against Morocco

@@joaotopa3263 well tbh portugal's manager is to blame. wasted this generation

@@urmomsdealer I don't think wasted, most of them are still young and a lot of players like Renato Sanchez, Rafa Silva etc haven't called upon this world cup. Only CR7 and Pepe are gonna surely doubtful to play the nex world cup. Yep, I agree that their coach is the reason why they lose, putting Joao Felix who has wasted a lot of chances againts Morroco instead of Rafael Leao who can match the Morrocan Full-backs

​@@urmomsdealer Eh. The Federation is to blame. Antonio Oliveira did well, but when he went to Porto they decided to replace him with Artur Jorge after his miserable stint at Benfica. Humberto Coelho also did well, and I think he deserved to stay longer, but they replaced him with Oliveira again, that this time didn't make a very good showing. Scolari, for as little as I like him also did a good showing. So the issue was the Federation making one terrible choice and then going for the next shiny thing.

lenogooch deflected luck shot

Villainous foreigner but he had the balls to take that shot. That's something that separate big players from normal ones. The big names became big cause they dared the chances and thus played big.

João Lopes lots of players take this pot shots. Nothing special. Deflected weong footed the keeper. It’s a big time goal just because it was figo

That's not luck, the fact he took the shot isn't luck, you make your luck. England sucks balls for a big Country.

Yes it is deflected and that's totally damaging the goal. Of course it was nice in terms of being important and brave, but where would it have gone without that deflection? It was a shot with power, but Beckham's crosses were more of a skill than this goal.
