Fun fact: over 10 turkish players had injuries or were banned due to yellow or red card. That was literally the second team with only 3 players on the bench.
How is ihat possible? Every team can take 23 players on tournament, so over 10 is minimum 11 which couldnt play here. 23-11 means that Turkey had starting 11 plus 1 sub...
@@matthiasdominik4049 You can see the subs at 2:41. What @ErTrkl says is almost the truth. Turkiye was so badly undercut, they were thinking about getting the 3rd keeper to play as a center back. Initially 9 players were missing but some of the subs were barely able to get in shape for the match. Had they survived Germany they'd have a better squad for the final. But that was a hell of match.
As far as I can say, Turkey's national team was not experienced those times but they had a different soul of competitive, which we do not see in any team in general these times, and that is way for many people around the globe this is the best tournament ever perhaps. Especially in Croatia-Turkey match, no one would believe that there would be a goal after Ivan's goal in 119th minute, but Semih's goal in 121st minute, probably a last second goal.
Futboldan en çok zevk aldığım turnuvaydı. Türkiye’nin Hırvatistan Ve Çek cumhuriyeti maçları EURO turnuvasının en heyecanlı maçlarından olabilir. Özlüyorum o günleri
This game was shown in a cinema in my hometown. Half of the visitors were turkish, the others were german. And i never forget the thrilling atmosphere there till the end!
Ein Spiel,das ich nie vergessen möchte! Die Türkei hat sich im gesamten Turnier einen großen Namen gemacht und auch gegen uns eine herausragende Partie gespielt.Zumindest für die EM 2008, bleiben die Türken für mich unter den Top 3 der Angstgegner! Ein absolutes Spitzenspiel beider Mannschaften. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Das stimmt....das währe ein perfektes Finale gewesen...hier wurde echt alles geboten. Hier konnte man nur gewinnen wenn man sich wirklich anstrengt. Hut ab an beide Teams
Ich weiß noch, als ich das Spiel als kleiner Racker geguckt hab. Heute wie damals ein verdammt spannendes Spiel gewesen und eines meiner Lieblingsspiele jemals. Kroatien vs Türkei war da vielleicht noch n Ticken nervenaufreibender! Beides tolle Spiele gewesen mit purer Leidenschaft.
Legendary game. Perhaps the best Turkish team ever we had to compete against, but we had Schweinsteiger, Klose, Lahm, Ballack - actually, I think this was Lehmann's weakest performance as German goalie, actually. And after the 1:1, our cable connection broke down - so my father and I had to listen to the next minutes over RADIO and it had serious 1954 vibes ("Toooor, Toooor, Tooooor!"). Then, 2:2 and Lahm's finest minute in the German dress as he managed to deliver the killing blow. WHAT a time to remember!
As a Turk, I was a big Schweinsteiger fan and even I had put his goal moment picture against Turkey as a profile picture when I was a kid :D Of course I was supporting Turkey but Schweinsteiger was a different breed.
I was living in Turkey at the time due to my Dads job and got invited to watch this at the German Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, it was quite entertaining. I remember on the cab ride home my Turkish cab driver was crying lol. Turkey played very well though props to them
when a team lYYYke turqui does lYke that, then no wonder all other smaLer teams would saY, ohhhh lets win over dezz mongreL alemanshaFt !!! aaaaYYY only imagine, whAAAA would happen if half de Yerman teams arRRR tork born players not decided to represnt Yermania !!!
İlk yarıya bak, 15 şut, Almanya 3 şut. Eğer biraz şanslı olabilseydik 2002’de Dünya Kupası, 6 yıl sonra bu kupayı alacaktık. Türk futbolu için çok şey değişecekti ama olmadı.
Maalesef devamlilik sorunumuz var. dönemsel basarilar ve basarisizliklar arasinda gidip geliyoruz. Bu kupayi alsaydik bile bugünkü futbolumuz adina ne değişirdi emin değilim..
Çüüüş yavaş git abartma o kadar. Dünya ve Avrupa şampiyonu olmak kim sen kim? O kadar güçlü bir takım değilsiniz hiçbir zaman olmadınız. Rüştü gibi aptalca hatalar yapıp gol yiyen aptal bir kaleciyle mi şampiyon Olcan haha🤣 zaten o kadar kaliteli futbolcular yokdu Türkiye'de olmadıda. Gerçekleri görün haddinizi bilin. Haddinizi. Siz bi italya, Fransa brezilya arjantin ve Almanya değilsinki dünya ve Avrupa şampiyonu olasın haha
çok büyük şanssızlık. turnuvadaki en iyi oyunumuzu en kaliteli rakibimize karşı oynamıştık. aşırı sayıda sakat ve cezalımız vardı rakipte de kaliteli ayaklar olunca peri masalı bitti.
İstatistiklere bakınca macıda izleyince kaliteli takımdan daha kaliteli oynamışız iki yarıdada iki bireysel hata gol yememiz bizi bozmuş yoksa bu gazla alırdık kupayı.
@@odevmerkezi2107 abi turnuva boyunca her maç kötü oynayıp son dakikalarda toplamıştık. Bu maçta ise eksiklere rağmen arzulu iştahlı istekliydik. Biz oynadık son dakika attık ancak onlarda attı. Yazık oldu.. hakeden kazanmadı😅
This was such a special match I remember in the USA the power went out so they went to the broadcasting desk so I didn't get to see the last 2 goals but I was just as excited as a Germany supporter I have so much respect for this Turkish team great heart and will to win.
hello i am a turkish. I was 17 when I watched this match. I remember this match very well. The Turkish national team played fantastic football. Although Türkiye played better in the match, Germany eliminated Turkey thanks to its experience. Actually, Turkey should have passed the Tour. It was Turkey's right to advance to the next round. 4 years ago, in 2002, Turkey came in 3rd place in the World Cup.
Rüştünün hayatındaki en kötü maçının bizim yarım finaline dek gelmesi büyük bir şanssızlık. O kadar kötüydü ki kaleyi bulan şut sayısı ile gol sayısı aynı olması durumu özetliyor. Biz kaleci yerine defans koysak yerine o 3 şuttan birini engeller berlki de maçı kazanırdık.
Crazy how long the Modric Croatia era went. I remember the buzz before Euro 2008 was all about Spain and Croatia. Modric delivered for the most part until his PK miss. People forget that croatia side humiliated this Germany side 2-1 in the group stage (it was a lot more one sided) and then turkey beat croatia and nearly beat Germany....a crazy tournament was Euro 2008
Turkey lost this match because they scored their second goal early in 85’. Previously they were beating their opponents in last seconds, with shocking and paralyzing comebacks, Switzerland in 90+2’ with Arda Turan, Czechia in 87’ and 89’ with Nihat Kahveci, and Croatia in 120+2’ with Semih Şentürk’s goals (after penalty shootouts) without giving the opponent a second chance. Against Germany, when Semih scored, I felt something weird is going on, this is not supposed to be the goal minute. And this time Germany did what Turkey did to others.
I will say like the the top 10 matches since 2000 10) Uruguay vs Ghana World Cup quarterfinal 2010 9) Germany vs Argentina World Cup quarterfinal 2006 8) Mancity vs Monoaco champions league round of 16 2017 7) England vs Portugal Euro 2004 quarterfinal 6) Germany vs Turkey Euro 2008 semifinal 5) France vs Switzerland Euro 2020 round of 16 4) Ac Milan vs Liverpool Champions League final 2005 3) Spain vs Portugal World Cup 2018 group stage 2) Portugal Vs Hungary Euro 2016 group stage 1) Argentina vs France 2022 World Cup final
Türkiye's Euro 2008 story is one of the greatest tournment story of the football history. There was little amount top class player at the team but there was a huge passion. At this game Turkey's literally third team played against full roster Germany. And played very well despite of loss. Sometimes even loosing seems cool. This was one of them
Sabri at RB for Turkey literally sets up 2 shots that are cannoned off the post or bar in the first 15 minutes, then later on assists Semi's equalizer. This turkish team were so full throttle. After the portugal game where they lost 2-0, Fati Terim changed a lot about the team's set up. They were so direct.
@kafkaesk_ weird and in this tournament he was assisting shots off the woodwork. Turkey were shooting at will. I'm kind of sick of how slow and pass obsessed teams are. They don't just take shots. I get it, shots being blocked can equal counters etc but my God, take a chance at some point. Seeing the biggest countries or clubs only taking 10 or 11 total shots in a match Is a joke...
O kadar haklısın ki Yıllardır Gökhangönül dediler Sabri’nin yaptığı katkıyı hiç biri yapamadı ... Bu Maçı iyi hatırlarım son Dk Tümer Metin geliyor Frikik çekmeye Yemin ederim Tv basında Sabri çeker inşallah dedim frikikleri iyi Sabri’nin biliyorum ..millet kahvede bana güldü Tümer geldi top gördüğün gibi Polenezköye gitti
Sabri günah keçisi ilan edildi. Bunda kendi hatalarının payı da vardir. Sabriden ıyi denilen Gökhan Gönül'ün Sabriden tek bir üstün yani yok. Gelmiş geçmiş en iyi sağ bek Sabri'dir.
tüm turnuva boyunca şansımızın yardımıyla çok iyi oynamadan kaos futboluyla yarı finale çıktık. yarı finalde almanya gibi bir takıma karşı harika bir oyun oynadık ama yenildik. iyi oynadığımız tek maçın son maçımız olması çok üzücü.
Yanlis,senelerdir yabanci takimlarinda buldugu sansi bizde bu turnuvada bulduk Rabbim nasip etti,ama 2008 takimi cok iyi takim idi,2002 gibi olmasa...Savasdigimiz zorladimiz icin sansimiz da yaver gitti...Almanya macinda bircok as futbollcu sakat ve sari kart cezalisiydi,bunu unutmayalim...Yani yedekler ile oynadik ve iyi oynadik,yanisira Mehmet topal in original defans oyuncusu olmadigi icin defansa cekildini unutmayalim...Kalite,sans,savas ve ruh vardi 2008 takimin da...Suan bircogu avrupa da oynamasina ragmen,o ruh ve ciddiyet yok...
@@crazyvideos521 ben de zaten en iyi maçımız Almanya maçı dedim. Gözünle okusan anlardın. Hırvatistan maçında adamlar bizi oyun olarak paramparça etti. Tur atlamamız tamamen şanstı.
Cok dogru soyledikleriniz. Gercekten almanya macina kadar futbolun adaleti olmus olsa cooktan elenmistik. Ancak almanya macinda en guzel futbolumuzu oynadik ve yetmedi. Arda olsaydi cok sey degistirdi o macta. Cunku cok formdaydi.
Das war ein großartiges Spiel! Haben es gemeinsam mit den türkischen Fans geschaut, was für eine Stimmung. Hoffe das wird bald wieder ein Duell bei einem großen Turnier erleben dürfen
Turkey korban konspirasi UEFA yg tdk menginginkan Turkey juara itulah sebabnya pemain2 utama Turkey cedera dan terkena akumulasi kartu kuning dan merah pada babak perdelapan Final dan perempat Final sehingga pada saat semifinal dan final Turkey tdk bisa bermain dgn komposisi terbaiknya.Pada semifinal ini ada beberapa keputusan wasit yg merugikan Turkey.
I love how even Rustu the 90 year old GK notched an assist in the dying seconds vs Croatia. Nothing about that Turkish team could be scripted, including Volkan's red card seconds after turkey came back from 2 goals to beat Czech 🇨🇿 it was just madness.
this was probably the only game where Germany was so vurnarable against Turkish national team. and sadly almost half of the Turkish team was wheter injured or booked due to yellow cards previous games. surely heartbroken game. but it was the best tournament so far IMO.
I remember Philip Lahm's last minute goal and how Tümer Metin failed to score a free kick and destroyed our final hopes, but I appreciate the European 3rd place🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👏👏👏👏
4.33 de sevinen adam tff başkani ve sarıldığı da eşi. O adam o zamanlar ya da birkaç yıl sonra sıcak bir banyodan sonra kalp krizi geçirerek ölmüştü. Allah rahmet eylesin
its very sad to see this as a german. "deutschlaaand deutschlaaand, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh". all these fans and decoration. this nation is not a football nation anymore. i have literal tears in my eyes. those are real heavy emotional memories. when i look at the german team and its followers now its heartbreaking. we were such a great football nation. i am crying also the atmosphere and everything. the music induces heavy nostalgia from the 2000's. great memories
Heulen ist ja wohl übertrieben - man nennt das Ganze " demografische negative Entwicklung mit nicht mehr vorhandenem Nationalstolz " , nur noch die Kohle zählt heutzutage
@@WONGLER lol Schwachsinn. Es ist einfach ein komplett normale Entwicklung irgendwann ein bisschen satt von der Mannschaft zu sein, vor allem wenn der Peak so hoch war. Dazu kommt das unangenehme Marketing rundum „die Mannschaft“ und die generelle Fehlentwicklung im Weltfußball und schon ist die Luft raus. Das wird spätestens bei der Heim-EM wieder anders sein
Aptal Volkan da Çek maçında rakibe vurmasaydı direkt kırmızı kart görmeyecekti ve 2 maç ceza almayacaktı. Rüştü'den iyi kaleci olduğu kesin ama daha zeki mi bilemem. Bu da bir hata ve elenmemize sebep oldu.
Volkan torpilli işe yaramazın tekidir. Çek Cumhuriyetinde yediği iki golde de çelinebilir topları hantallığından yemiştir. Rüştü gibi hata yapmak başka, Volkan gibi yetersiz olmak bambaşka. Fenerbahçe'de zamanında Mert kaleyi alsaydı en az iki şampiyonluğumuz daha vardı.
Yok böyle maçlar bir daha gelirmi bilinmez tekrar izledim aynı heyecan 2008 bizim için bambaşka bir yeri var. Biz bitti demeden bitmeyen maçlar vardı. :(
Finalde bizi yenen şampiyon olsun isterdim hani güçlüye yenilmiaiz gibi ama bir yandan da bizi yenen yenilsin mantığı da vardı. Hey gidi günler. Finali izlemedim ben sbs vardı o zamanlar. Ama takip etmiştim. Duygulandım be nerden önerdin bana bunu
Yeah that's right but in turkish we say: an inofficial rule in football "if you don't score, the other team will score" This means that if you dont use so many chances then the other team will come and score a goal. Thrilling semi final tho
Turkey's tactic in this match was very solid and well prepared but they lacked good finishers. Not to mention defensive errors which led the first and last goals. Second was Klose's individual brilliance
Also thank you our bosnian brothers.İn the last match of qualifications for euro 2008, we were matching with Bosnia.Turkey beat Bosnia 1-0 and gone to Euro 2008.Bosnia was playing with B team in that match thanks again

The first half belonged entirely to Turkey and the Mannschaft was lucky to go to the half time break with a tie. Very impressed by their game especially knowing that the other side was Germany. Who was Turkey's Coach?
@@iamdezsi I have done some research on this. I didn't find any reliable sources for comparing Podolski and Altintop, but if you compare the Fifa 2008 stats of the two players, Altintop has a slightly higher rating of 88 than Podolski with 87. But Hitzlsperger had the highest rating of the 3 players with 94... Well, as I said... whether one can really judge whether this is a good comparison or not? xD
Disciplinary situation for the first Euro 2008 semi-final: Suspended: 14-Arda Turan (Turkey), 15-Emre Asik (Turkey), 17-Tuncay Sanli (Turkey), 23-Volkan Demirel (Turkey)..With those players who missed the semi-finals due to suspensions, the Turkish national team would have qualified for the grand final of Euro 2008.
Great match. There is no fight, no red cards, no exaggerated players. Most of the players who are there played almost 100 percent according to summary. Also as a Turkish, we showed our potential in that tournament but, had no Nihat Kahveci in that match moreover couldn't stop Lahm. He was upper level player.
----------------volkan----- g.gonul --servet cetin----emre asik--- -----tuncay---emre belezoglu---arda turan ----nihat--- our lacked players...we literally played with B team against germany....pity..we d kick them out very easy
I was 11 when we played this match. What a game. I remember we basically had no reserves at that point due to red cards and injuries, yet we still challenged Germany. My heart was so broken seeing Tümer Metin miss that last freekick.
Hahah we had the same problem in Germany we only heard the voice of the speaker. It became iconic here. Sad for us hearing that we conceded a goal, but still iconic
@@Turkfrom33 We had only a frozen opening image still from Euro 2008 intro and writing down below "Sorry for interruption", while in up left corner we could see the time ticking and the current score and suddenly we see Germany scores. Then after the game, journalists said that it was Klose's goal that we couldn't see.
turkish national team fell off after 2008. Quite sad to be honest. This turkish national team played with heart, today's national team has young talents who are full of themselves and earn insane money. Germany hasn't been good since 2014 too, but compared to turkey, they still qualify for big tournaments. I also see the turkish league has been really really bad. Portuguese league has overtaken them even over the past 15 years.
SABRI reis 2. goldeki büyük katkısıyla maçı eşitlemişti ama hatasını fark edip hemen sonrasında almanyaya öne geçmesi için yardımcı oluyor. 11:27 (döşen oyuncu değil 20 numara solda pozisyonu izleyen)
en üzüldüğüm maçlardan biriydi bütün turnuva boyunca hep mücizeler oldu bu maçtada mucize olacak diye bekledik ama olmadı yıkılmıştım resmen hakediyorduk bu turnuvayı
It was a match in which we almost could not form a squad due to injuries in the team and our request for additional players was rejected beforehand. Despite all the difficulties, we had a great match. What a day those were.
