Christopher Kanyuka Unfortunately, Neville and Gerrard were injured for the 2002 World Cup; and Beckham was playing with an injury. Had they been fully fit (and Seaman not make a blunder), it's not hard to imagine that they could have beaten Brazil, Turkey and then Germany Euro 2004 was the better opportunity though, with the addition of Rooney at his best, and also Lampard, Terry and King. Rooney's injury against Portgual almost certainly cost us that game; and I think we'd have beaten Netherlands and Greece.

WAIT A MINUTE ... :) didn't we win the Continental cup against Italy, France & Brazil.. Ian Wright had a blinder ... but yeah if we had Giggs, Cole, Fowler, Le Tissier let alone a PAUL GASCOIGNE all on form and playing for England we should of been better than the 1990 team.

It didn't and we had the place to ourselves and went mental!! After the game we went out into the streets and the whole of the town I live in was out going mental. I've never witnessed anything like it before or since. Truly amazing night and I was lucky to be old enough to enjoy it properly!

A match to be called memorable needs to be decisive on something. A cup, an advance to quarter or semi final against a strong opponent, a basis for future successes, or at least one of the last very good games of a legendary team. The national team of England: a) in WC 1994 did not reach the final stage. b) in Euro 1996 (which took place in England) was not in the final. c) in WC 1998 hs been eliminated in the round of 16. d) in Euro 2000 has been eliminated in group stage. e) in WC 2002 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. f) in Euro 2004 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. g) in WC 2006 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. h) in Euro 2008 did not reach the final stage. As you can see in 15 years England had not a single success. If a preliminary group stage win (with very good performance) against a rival that has 8 major titles is called memorable, this means that England's football level is the same as Romania's.

Nothing embarrassing about 2010. If Lampard's goal had stood - and disallowing it was the most inept decision in World Cup history along with Maradona's Hand Of God - Germany would have gone in at half-time rattled and wondering how they'd let a two-goal lead slip. England wouldn't have had to chase the game in the second half, leaving themselves open at the back.

poor Brazil, how the mighty has fallen. if they weren't being idiots in 2006 they would have won the WC which makes them 6 times world champion. that alone gave me the chill. Brazil & Germany were two of my favorites. I referred to them as Conqueror and Defender. But Brazil sux ballz, I knew they won't go far after their opening match vs Mexico. If Chile had the confident & experience in WC they would have beat Brazil and played Germany instead. That would have been a better match.

the problem is the shitty manager the players that are no near the level of the 2001 players, what happened to the Beckhams? to the Sholes? to the Gerrards? to the Owens? and thats because english teams rather spend millions in 3 good players than invest in their academies, you got great football prospects but because you never help them to develop they stay like that, no more than promises how you are doing it won't take too long for England to start missing worldcups because other teams are starting to have great players and develop in fact the reason why england will go to the WC in 2014 is because the rediculously easy group the UEFA gave them

Brazil are just as much of a disappointment this time I expected to see gold but felt like I was watching teams I never heard of. Atleast we know what England's problem is we spend too much money and effort on foreign players. Liverpool import kids for god sake. Focus on local youth and build us a true class team not all about their pay grade. Or give £100,000 bonuses for a goal and £100,000 cuts for being a fanny rolling on the floor wasting time.

I think that England's on-field results as a result of poor management and a squad of overpaid prima donnas is Newcastle United writ large under Ashley. A nation with the richest club competition in the world can't field a squad that has a realistic go at a World Cup semi final, never mind getting to the final and winning. I think the competition to sign world class players having saturated the Premier League with foreign players is part of the problem. Fair enough, sign a star who will get you 25 goals in a season from abroad, and anyone else you feel can get the job done from abroad. But you have to invest in local lads - youth more specifically. And you need to fuck Hodgson off and get someone in who will get them up for a game.

+DancingMedicineMan how many stars does the German jersey have and how many does England? You aren't actually comparing the German side to the English are you??? Tom Petty said even the losers get lucky sometimes. It's been 50 years since the one and only star was put on that jersey and we all know the history of that final right? I'll give England this game but it's certainly something to cherish by the English side because rarely does it happen. It'll take several lifetimes if ever for England to eclipse the endless achievements of the German National Team.

+DancingMedicineMan sounds like you have sour grapes for Germany and that's too bad. I don't recall Germany cheating but I'd like to know how you drew that conclusion? Do you have a team that you support? If you look at the 1966 World Cup you will see the ball never crossed the line but the referee saw differently. That's what happens in international soccer. England got their only star and Germany accepted it and moved on but Germany never forgot it. That's why it's been half a century of Germany beating on England. It sounds to me that you're just angry and reaching because Germany is just is better team and England will never reach the heights the German side has. At least in my lifetime. Please feel free to document your claims here of the Germans cheating in their 4 World Cup victories.

Well the 2002 team had a few good players but they had a string of easy opponents leading to the final. The 2006 team for example produced very good performances and were only eliminated by the champions. The 02 team lost to the first strong opponent they faced and they made hard work out of almost every other opponent, even Ireland. Although they were unlucky not to have Ballack in the final they really didn't play particularly well and the final was a very flattering result for them if I'm honest.
As a Scot I have to say I was applauding the performance when watching this, especially the last two goals. An outstanding display. The commentator sounds close to tears when he yells "It's five!".
5-1, even heskey scored!!
How did this England team not win anything? Owen, Becks, Scholes, Gerrard, Rio, Cole, Seamen.. If only Giggs was English I guess. But this was a lethal team.
Christopher Kanyuka Unfortunately, Neville and Gerrard were injured for the 2002 World Cup; and Beckham was playing with an injury. Had they been fully fit (and Seaman not make a blunder), it's not hard to imagine that they could have beaten Brazil, Turkey and then Germany Euro 2004 was the better opportunity though, with the addition of Rooney at his best, and also Lampard, Terry and King. Rooney's injury against Portgual almost certainly cost us that game; and I think we'd have beaten Netherlands and Greece.
Christopher Kanyuka LMFAO seaman always got himself in sticky situations =]
Christopher Kanyuka because the coach was a big idiot
Christopher Kanyuka Because we had englands 2nd best striker Shearer 96 Pen's & France kill us in 2mins of injury time replaced wiv Heskey.. and when we had Rooney in EURO's2004 we lost on Pen's ... WAIT A MINUTE ... :) didn't we win the Continental cup against Italy, France & Brazil.. Ian Wright had a blinder ... but yeah if we had Giggs, Cole, Fowler, Le Tissier let alone a PAUL GASCOIGNE all on form and playing for England we should of been better than the 1990 team.
Spellchec England were the second best team in 2002, but the Brazilians were head and shoulders above everyone else Euro 2004 I agree completely, it's kind of tragic really considering how much the fans believe
6 Liverpool players in the England squad that night. Owen, Heskey, Gerrard, Carragher, Fowler and Barmby!! (and an ex Liverpool player McManaman) Even the German squad had a Liverpool player - Hamann
One of the best nights in my life, 19 years old at the time, we found a pub that was showing it that was empty about an hour before kick off, so me and 10 mates bought 4 pints each expecting it to fill up. It didn't and we had the place to ourselves and went mental!! After the game we went out into the streets and the whole of the town I live in was out going mental. I've never witnessed anything like it before or since. Truly amazing night and I was lucky to be old enough to enjoy it properly!
Wow, I had forgotten just how good Michael Owen was in his day, not to mention Beckham.
Owen had a complete difference in threat with that pace before his injury.
im actuzlly crying watching this, when will we ever get back to this level
As long as the all boys club of the FA are calling the shots then England will steadily decline.
sorry you what you utter wimp??? england were good? Germany qualified in first place about 6 points ahead of you and needed a last minute goal against Greece to go through. England are a joke and always have been.
geez-a gobble is that comment for me?
indeed it was England never were or will be good. get over it
ooooo mum jokes :D lmao typical little english fanny
This was one of our best England teams. We had quality all over the pitch. People say our team now is the best. But i do not think we have half the world class players we had in this team
You know it's a bad game for Germany when Heskey scores
psst...replace 'Germany' with any team and the sentiment remains the same hahaha
Jake Deane Heskey was brilliant back then
Greatest night of my life! These players had passion, going back and fighting for lost balls. We have a good crop of young players. We will have days like this once again in a few years!
Germany got to the World Cup final the year after . Only 2 that started this game started the World Cup final . They were embarrassed by the 5-1 and something had to be done and it was . They pump loads of money in and had a great team by 2010 and won it in 2014 . This was a blessing in disguise ❤
All feel consoled now after watching this 50 times .......part of therapy after iceland :)
England when not under pressure is a dangerous team
I love how everybody is saying “even Heskey scored” even though Heskey was acctually a top class striker and got more than 110 goals in the premier league. Just because he was terrible in the Fifa game where he was 32 and KSI made funny af videos about him doesn’t mean that he was just as bad in his prime. Do some research before commenting
That was one of the most memorable moments in football history.
Not if you are German.
A match to be called memorable needs to be decisive on something. A cup, an advance to quarter or semi final against a strong opponent, a basis for future successes, or at least one of the last very good games of a legendary team. The national team of England: a) in WC 1994 did not reach the final stage. b) in Euro 1996 (which took place in England) was not in the final. c) in WC 1998 hs been eliminated in the round of 16. d) in Euro 2000 has been eliminated in group stage. e) in WC 2002 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. f) in Euro 2004 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. g) in WC 2006 has been eliminated in the quarter finals. h) in Euro 2008 did not reach the final stage. As you can see in 15 years England had not a single success. If a preliminary group stage win (with very good performance) against a rival that has 8 major titles is called memorable, this means that England's football level is the same as Romania's.
@@ipsa-uae9050no it doesn't at all.
@@liamjohnson7887 Facts are against your opinion
@@ipsa-uae9050 nope, they aren't. Memorable games do not need to be decisive. You gave your opinion, it isn't a fact. The fact is, this game was over 20 years ago, and I, and many others remember it. Thus, memorable.

Hunger Cult Films Ltd Owen scoring in that sprint against Argentina ...... was was one of the most memorable player moments as an England fan.
Beckham looks like a class apart. His style and brand of play would still cut it against even todays best.
Michael Owen - The forgotten England star! I really liked England as a team from 96-02
Look at that, all current Liverpool players at the time proud. Don't know why people joke about Heskey he scored over 100 premier league goals.
Whenever you're feeling down watch this for a lift
Nicky Barmby is one of the most underrated players of his time. Even in this game he runs his socks off all game, sets-up the first goal, moves out of the way of Gerrards shot for the second goal and nobody mentions him.
Reading all the comments *Grabs popcorn*
"If scored 3 goals in that game that means I got a hat trick" - Michael Owen
Am I the only german who cannot stop to watch this over and over again?! :)
It's probably the best English team fielded so not a bad loss, but Heskey getting a goal? Unforgivable! Lol
It was a masterclass in all honesty, something rarely seen from English national sides. We even had the handicap of having Heskey up front!
I think heskey was so underrated he was unreal this game deserved his goal
Commentator gets most excited and vocal about the Heskey goal lol. Probably couldn't believe that he scored! I remember this game well, great memories!
Also very impressive how this qualifying game is called "payback time" for the semi-finals in 1990 and 1996. Yeah, that is really the same thing ... England's football needs a major overhaul. Like what Germany did after 2004.
beckham, gerrard and owen years... even though we didn't show it but about 15-20 years ago we were definitely one of the best in the world
+Chris Hughesy England have always been a team that at there best can beat anyone. They have always had players which are good enough to compete with the very top teams far more than they have.
This match is one of the reasons the Germans won the Worldcup in 2014.

I remember this game as it would be yesterday. It's was a crazy game, like the 7:1 against brazil....
Watching this is interesting. Look at how the two nations have reversed fortunes. Germany, winning the world cup and packed with young talent who are only going to get better. England, underperforming every tournament with no real sign of turning things around.
fallschirmjager0000 ^^ just another jealous American.
After this game Germany pretty much started a fresh and brought all the youngsters in and completely changed everything around. look at them now. we just get knocked out of the group stages with a great team and a fucking awful manager, and he gets told he can stay for another 4 years. woy hodson doesn't deserve to manage any club or national team
there is definitely glimmers of hope for our national team (sterling, barkley etc.), and yes we definitely should have done better at the wc.
The glimmers of hope is the Euro U-17 this year. Not only did we win the final on penalties, Germany lost in the group stage, even Scotland did better.
g
owen's finishing was amazing, very talented England team (midfield and attack that is), although it was germany who reached the final next year without having a descent striker as we can see but with a great keeper. I used to like that england team because of owen gerard beckham scholes etc but now there is no one like them unfortunately, who knows maybe kane and alli or the new m.u. babes could reach their level one day
hoe did that deli alli prediction work out? what a clown.
Great win. Loved watching this with my mates.
this England team is amazing, Becks, scholes, Gerrard, Neville, seamen, Campbell, owen and more!! when you think about the players we have had and the team's we've put together it's crazy how we haven't won more but the fact is Germany win when it matters
Well, this was our truly most memorable moment so far. Plus, Germany got revenge nine years later in 2010, when we had the goal disallowed, and we lost 4:1, our most embarrassing moment, on par with our most recent loss to Iceland :(
Nothing embarrassing about 2010. If Lampard's goal had stood - and disallowing it was the most inept decision in World Cup history along with Maradona's Hand Of God - Germany would have gone in at half-time rattled and wondering how they'd let a two-goal lead slip. England wouldn't have had to chase the game in the second half, leaving themselves open at the back.
And gerrard got even better. That goal on half time, his goal in istanbul, his goal against west ham in the cup final and this guy is still doing it today. He must go down as one of greatest footballers of all time.
This game was held in the old Olympic Stadium. That's why they built a new one in Munich. Yay England!!! Sweetest revenge.
i watched this match in my little room in germany and went crazy for england.
Never get tires of watching this game....
i remember watching this game and my old man was in the bath shouting to me... what;s the score son.. '0-1 dad'.,,, 90 minutes later. 'what was the final score son? we won 5 fucking 1!!!!!!!
why the fuck was he in the bath for the whole of this beautiful football match?!?!
You're Dad's bath took 90 minutes?
kaioxygen was the greatest 90 minute bath ever taken!
I remember something similar happening to me for the Greece game. I was watching at home with my brother and in the last minute told him I was going for a piss. Little did I know we'd win a free kick and I'd miss probably the most remembered moment in recent England history. It has since been known as "the lucky slash".
Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I remember this hammering :D. I was in France, going home on the coach, checked it on my walkman and heard 5-1, the coach driver thought I was talking nonsense and he turned the radio on and had to apologise, gosh I love that memory.
Beckham first person to hug each goal scorer to make sure he's in the photo

That's relevant ain't it... I mean England beats Germany 5-1... Heskey scores lol...

You know what is best about this? Besides that being the only thing English fans can watch on youtube without being ashamed by their team, GERMANY MADE IT TO THE FINALS A YEAR LATER. So even when they suck, they do much better any English team does apart from `66.
one of the great mysteries in life is the england football team constantly underperforming in major tournaments, even when (unlike nowadays) blessed with great and/or gifted players such as the ones depicted in this video...

This will always be my favourite England game ever. Cannot believe we beat them 5-1 in their own backyard and yet they still went on the reach the World Cup final less than a year later, madness!

remember watching this game in a pub in town, I was 18. Good old days!
I always remember this lager advert here in England (a few years before this game), where Jimmy Hill says "I don't believe it" after seeing a mock England 5-0 score against Germany on a scoreboard. What a prediction that was!
If gerrard was in the team in 2002 we'd have won the cup.
It's Emile HESKEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY! IT'S FIVE!
Very rare to see footage from the Munich Olympic stadium where the camera is installed on this side of the pitch, facing the grandstand. In 99,9 per cent of the broadcasts from this stadium, the camera was installed on the opposite side.
First time I've watched this sort of thing since 1966. Can hardly watch for the tears welling up. Maybe I should watch more.
What a player Steve Gerrard was imagine if he was fit for the World Cup in Japan and Korea
He would have still been outclassed by Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. These were two technically inept teams on display.
Are you suggesting we would have won the World Cup?
1-4 "There are a lot of supporters leaving this ground and I don't think any of them are English LOL"
What a side that was. The players we had was rediculous
You know you're having a bad night when Heskey puts one past you 🤣
How this German team made the World Cup final is astounding
It is shocking. How this England team never even made a semi final in the 3 tournaments from 2002-2006 is also unbelievable. The only two players you'd probably replace are Heskey and Barmby. Shearer and Owen up front with this lot would almost have been unstoppable.
As a German, we got incredibly lucky with who we faced and England got unlucky, at least in 2002. After 2006 German football started to get into the golden era but back to my point, England probably had a better side than Germany in 2002, they just happened to run into Brazil earlier, while Germany ran into teams like USA and South Korea
They got an unbelievably fortunate route to the final starting with an easy group and then Paraguay in the 2nd round, USA in the quarters and South Korea in the Semis... Fair play to them, you've still got to go out and win but they didn't come up against any real quality until the final.
Again, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining that they got there, but going into the World Cup I would have been happy with a quarterfinal appearance. This team was astoundingly bad, just like in 1982 though managed to make the final
Phil MNAP The thing about German teams is that they've traditionally had an abundance of skill, ability and technique but if you strip all that away there's still an ingrained discipline and workman-like mentality. The 2002 team may have lacked the talented players of previous and subsequent tournaments but they still retained that methodical discipline which was enough to see them through against modest opposition.
the germans went on to rebuild after this game england just fucked about.
+stephen flannery really ? I know a win over Germany recently doesn't seem like fucking about.
+Miguel Rodriquez I don't know*

It's fiiive!
Its surprising that England haven't had more success at international level until you realise Matt Le Tissier only has 8 caps, Scholes retired early because he was thrown out on the being to accommodate fraudulent Gerrard/Lampard and Hoodle was seen as a "luxury" player ffs, then you realise the problem and that its not a surprise at all. The English set up is garbage and fundamentally wrong pathetic, we have the least number of coaches at grassroats level out of the top european teams, not to mention the culture of shunning small players in favour of big physical presences for the good old "put it in the mixer" football, soccer in this country is doomed I tell ya, DOOOOOOOMED
+stealthiscool Scholes was forced by Fergie to retire early(just like he did with Giggs, Berbatov, Vidic), not playing on the wing. He actually came out back then saying he has no problem playing on the wing.

and Germany in their green jersey! I'm baffled.
because this was technically an england home match
I spent a lot of time working in Germany in 2001: on the Monday after the match a German colleague rang me, "my son was sleeping in my lap, so I couldn't get up to turn the TV off ! there was a huge black man in a white shirt with one million candle power of floodlights, and the only people in the stadium who couldn't see him were the German defence" :)
If only England could play like this consistently! They would have bagged a couple of international trophies instead of forever living in nostalgia of the 1966 world cup team.
This was a bigger win than in 1939-45!
The more important thing is that you achieved it alone this time ;)

+estilkind my bad, got mixed up but brazil and italy are their real rivals whom they were unable to beat for a long time before 2014

poor Brazil, how the mighty has fallen. if they weren't being idiots in 2006 they would have won the WC which makes them 6 times world champion. that alone gave me the chill. Brazil & Germany were two of my favorites. I referred to them as Conqueror and Defender. But Brazil sux ballz, I knew they won't go far after their opening match vs Mexico. If Chile had the confident & experience in WC they would have beat Brazil and played Germany instead. That would have been a better match.
what an England team - becks, owen, cole, campbell, gerrard neville - all legends. and there was heskey, who is a legend in his own unique way
Winning 4-1 in a world cup match is far more important and delightful. :)
Winning 4-2 in WC final is even more so xD
Frank Watson I wasn't born but it still hurts lol :D
John Denver would that be the game where Germany were cruising at 2-0 and then England got one back and then had another only go about 3 feet over the line but somehow wasn't given by the only 2 pairs of eyes in the ground that couldn't see it?
amazed66 no, it was not behind the line. Haven't you seen the photo? s925.photobucket.com/user/nugepcua/media/lampard-goal.jpg.html
the problem is the shitty manager the players that are no near the level of the 2001 players, what happened to the Beckhams? to the Sholes? to the Gerrards? to the Owens? and thats because english teams rather spend millions in 3 good players than invest in their academies, you got great football prospects but because you never help them to develop they stay like that, no more than promises how you are doing it won't take too long for England to start missing worldcups because other teams are starting to have great players and develop in fact the reason why england will go to the WC in 2014 is because the rediculously easy group the UEFA gave them
Brazil are just as much of a disappointment this time I expected to see gold but felt like I was watching teams I never heard of. Atleast we know what England's problem is we spend too much money and effort on foreign players. Liverpool import kids for god sake. Focus on local youth and build us a true class team not all about their pay grade. Or give £100,000 bonuses for a goal and £100,000 cuts for being a fanny rolling on the floor wasting time.
Amen. I second this proposal!
can i join and roll on the floor for £100,000? i could use the money. ^^
I love football. I sincerely wish it wasn't becoming full of pussies and divers. I love the sport but have watched it decline since the 90's watching triple somersaults and players like C Ronaldo gaining player of the year awards. :(
To be fair, Liverpool have some fantastic english talents, both established and coming through. Henderson, Sturridge, and Sterling, Ibe, Jerome Sinclair for the future.
Funny that Andy Gray said "lovely cushioned header" describing the setup for Owen's equalizer. He said the same thing about Gerrard's goal against Olympiakos in the CL a few years later.
Classic sportmanship, keep it going.. ooh ooohh oooohhh FTNH growing all abourd Don't Miss this one ...
Not a Liverpool fan, but it's safe to say Liverpool 5 - Germany 0
Are you crazee ? The result is 1 : 5 ! mfg. ;-). PGS !
He means the people who scored were from Liverpool
I mean 1 haha sorry xD
I think that England's on-field results as a result of poor management and a squad of overpaid prima donnas is Newcastle United writ large under Ashley. A nation with the richest club competition in the world can't field a squad that has a realistic go at a World Cup semi final, never mind getting to the final and winning. I think the competition to sign world class players having saturated the Premier League with foreign players is part of the problem. Fair enough, sign a star who will get you 25 goals in a season from abroad, and anyone else you feel can get the job done from abroad. But you have to invest in local lads - youth more specifically. And you need to fuck Hodgson off and get someone in who will get them up for a game.
This still make me feel special to come from one of the best nation of football
i was standing in the north terminal at Gatwick head for Rhodes watching this game - what a send off!!!
And then Germany reached World Cup 2002 final
+DancingMedicineMan how many stars does the German jersey have and how many does England? You aren't actually comparing the German side to the English are you??? Tom Petty said even the losers get lucky sometimes. It's been 50 years since the one and only star was put on that jersey and we all know the history of that final right? I'll give England this game but it's certainly something to cherish by the English side because rarely does it happen. It'll take several lifetimes if ever for England to eclipse the endless achievements of the German National Team.
+DancingMedicineMan sounds like you have sour grapes for Germany and that's too bad. I don't recall Germany cheating but I'd like to know how you drew that conclusion? Do you have a team that you support? If you look at the 1966 World Cup you will see the ball never crossed the line but the referee saw differently. That's what happens in international soccer. England got their only star and Germany accepted it and moved on but Germany never forgot it. That's why it's been half a century of Germany beating on England. It sounds to me that you're just angry and reaching because Germany is just is better team and England will never reach the heights the German side has. At least in my lifetime. Please feel free to document your claims here of the Germans cheating in their 4 World Cup victories.
You may believe what you want. You may even believe in Santa Clause....
+Jürgen Selders well put! I believe this was a friendly although I suspect England put their strongest first squad on the pitch whilst Germany took it as a scrimmage game for fun.
+booeyats1 I'm still waiting your evidence of the Germans cheating.
Lose to Germany... Revert to this ;)
A memorable few weeks, this and 9/11
I miss this squad.
In that time, Germany was step back from England. BUT TODAY, Germany is the new WORLD CHAMPION 2014. England FAILS THE FIRST ROUND OF WORLD CUP 2014 WITHOUT WIN.
Excuse me sir, but I believe your caps lock key is jammed...
Except "at that time" they made it to the WC final… I don't remember them playing England that match.
Well the 2002 team had a few good players but they had a string of easy opponents leading to the final. The 2006 team for example produced very good performances and were only eliminated by the champions. The 02 team lost to the first strong opponent they faced and they made hard work out of almost every other opponent, even Ireland. Although they were unlucky not to have Ballack in the final they really didn't play particularly well and the final was a very flattering result for them if I'm honest.
