Glorious FRANCE see off DENMARK en route to EURO 2000 victory 

Agree

True

agree. and it just slowly went downhill since the middle 2000s

I agree.

And one of the greatest decisif pass a number 10 to 9

Actually Zidane only gave one assist to Henry in all their international career (free kick against Brazil in WC 2006)

@@thibault474 There's literally one in this game

Lol Zidane and Henry were incompatible with each other on the pitch. So much so that the French media made rumors that there were rifts between the Arsenal French players camp and Zidane. Henry wants the midfield to give the ball to him early while Zidane wants to dribble with the ball all the time.

@@ollyprice7552 I don't know if you follow football much but this is not considered an assist.

If your username is your birth year, then you're a year older than my dad. I was born in 93 and I still have my parents. It's something I'm well aware will happen, but coming to terms with the circle of life and how moments and people are fleeting and easily forgotten about is something I've struggled, and still do struggle, to get to grips with. Memories are the most precious things and the optimist in me trusts that there is a second stage to life. Maybe we can all relive our best times and enjoy our loved ones again. That's not so hard to accept.

The same team in 1996, aside from Jocelyn Angloma and a still too young Thierry Henry lost a penalty to a determined Czech team who in turn lost to the Best German team which finally reemerged in 2014. 2000 was good, but 1996 was better.

Wasnt Pires part of the squad?? Trezeguet is missing in this game

+ Wiltord, Pires, Djorkaeff, Karembeu and the greatest ... Didier Deschamps.

@@techBuffy At this point it's even useless to bother citing names individually. The whole team was made of names any football lover remembers now.

Absolutely no need to meantion Barthez. He's got to be the most overrated keeper of all time. They were good in spite of having him in there. But, horrible tournament, since Im danish. Lovely french team, no doubt about it.

Suckers ladies

The names roll of the tongue

Without Zidane they can't break peanuts

Better than the 98 team

@@BhagyanagarRE You don't seem to know that without Zidane, France won 1 WC, 1 Euro and 1 Olympic Games.

@@BhagyanagarRE Were you in a coma last year?

The 2006 team was just as good if not better

Till 2006

@@notthisprickagain8499 2006 team struggled... Zidane carried them through

2002? that team got beaten by Senegal

@@notthisprickagain8499 WHAT??? 2006 team which scored 5 points in the group stage, drew with giants like Switzerland and South Korea and only qualified after beating Togo? With the awful Domenech on the bench and players like Boumsong, Alou Diarra, Givet, Saha and Chimbonda? Not that it was a bad squad but there is no comparison with 1998-2000.

From 1981 to 1986 the french team was crazy good too. 1 Euro and 2 WC semi-finals.

@@magikmalick this generation was better bro. Euro 96 Semifinal WC 98 Champions Euro 00 Champions

I respect your opinion. I think it"s complicated to compare two different generations, football has changed a lot between the early 80's and the late 90's, all I'm saying is that Platini's generation was world class too. Giresse, Tigana, Fernandez, Genghini, Trésor, Bossis, Amoros, Six, Rocheteau, Bats, etc... those players may not be as world famous as the 96-00 generation but from a french point of view they were legendary. France-Netherlands 1981 France - West Germany 1982 France-Belgium 1984 France-Yugoslavia 1984 France-Portugal 1984 France-Uruguay 1985 France-USSR 1986 France-Hungary 1986 France-Italy 1986 and the masterpiece: France-Brazil 1986

@@magikmalick you are right and in the 1980s the level of competition France had to face was insane compared to the late 1990s. The Brazil of Tele Santana, Maradona's Argentina, West Germany, Enzo Bearzot's Italy were monsters too. At Euro 1984 France had to overcome a number of tricky opponents like Spain, Portugal and Denmark, it was a perfect tournament for them.

Daryn Scott-Harper He was sooo goood

He did a far more outrageous first touch in the same match, but sadly it wasn't included here.

Cryuff control

En même une telle équipe c'était du pain béni

the defense you mentioned never lost a game when playing all together... is this answering to your question....?

France would've still had good chance of going through even with a loss here as 3 teams would've finished on 3 points and that's if France didn't take last game as seriously like they didn't in the end because they were already through. And that's also irrelevant because not only did 🇫🇷 not lose this game they won it 3-0. So I think they were good enough for at least a draw here even if they had conceded that early chance. A draw wouldn't have been damaging for them at all. 🇩🇰 had an awful Euro2000. Who would've thought 2 years later roles would be reserved (apart from Denmark going on to win the tournament but I mean Frabce were awful in WC2002 and Denmark at least in group stage were the opposite and even Tommason scored against 🇫🇷 this time).

That team was a unit. That's also what made it so great. Actually it's main strength was the defense. It's not everyday you see something like Barthez Lizarazu Blanc Desailly Thuram.

Xidane was more of a passer than a finisher.

Alicia les bleus your surname is LES BLEUS and you supporting Danmerk...your strange

Maldini is the best defender of all time mate and Thuram was better than Blanc

yemmydboss I talked about the French team specifically. And Thuram considered Blanc as the boss.He was called “The president”.I agree for Maldini.For France, Blanc scored 16 goals in the French selection and it’s the highest mark for a defender. His career in club would have been much better if not for few bad choices and injuries.

@@MrBruntenebreux0211 Lizarazu was the worst in the team with Deschamps.

Chris Lorenz Laurent Blanc was a very classy player and in the 2000 final, he was the best player on the pitch.

SYLVAIN WILTORD...ne pas l'oublier. .😛

Anelka a rarement été excellent en équipe de France

I'm danish and we are the biggest bottlers. So 6-1 is more realistic.

but i am sure denmark will qualify and beat croatia in the round of 16

That would be insane, but croatia is very strong.

A mi no me duele, me hace feliz, grandes recuerdos de zidane

a bit better than this one

a lot better, i'd say

Nicollas Melo just a bit better. The current one is very hard to beat as well. They both have depth but this old one had better offense and the new one has better defense.

France wins the competitions when Denmark is in their group! ALWAYS! Except for EURO 1984

@@fabulousfrance Denmark was in our group sorry we beat them 1-0. Except for EURO 1992. I think that's what you wanted to say.

You literally killed me

patrick veira assist, also petit was playing. half of the players were arsenal players. anelka too

Pires on the bench. Soon to be an Arsenal player as well.

Il y a 5 touches de balle de Henry avant de marquer, je crois qu'à partir de 3 on considère qu'il n'y pas de passes décisives.
