I remember during this game motson was screaming "it won’t count Ronaldo it won’t count" when Ronaldo was running through on goal from an offside position like Ronaldo could hear him 😂😂😂

Someone obviously spoke in Shearer's ear when he said Rooney would stick one on Ronaldo back at Man.Utd. He stopped so quickly.

Verbruggen nearly saved kanes penalty. More than one of the penalties against Switzerland were nearly saved by Sommer. Kane put one on the ISS in the world cup semi final Don't be under any illusions 😅

Well we did eventually reach a final in Germany... 18 years later!

Man our squad now as a whole is one million times better. This squad had some fantastic individual players but there was no balance to the team. Gerrard and lampard didn't work together. Becks and Owen was past it by then. Rooney wasn't fit. Yes our defence were very good but beyond that there was no balance, pace or creativity. I mean Aaron Lennon and Stuart downing were in the squad! 2006 was far far from "the golden generation". Sven was clueless too. Brazil, France and Italy were way way better than us in 06.

I've been looking for this bbc opening! When gary points to petr cech, he says england aren't there but the English premier league stars will be, then Jimi Hendrix fire plays along with that montage, awww so annoying it's dubbed out

Roony losses his national team

And now, 14 years later, Penaldo's finished, Portugal get knocked out on pens, and England won a penalty shootout in Germany

I'd of rather been watching ghana or some other african team..

Always worth coming back to this when portugal get knocked out of a major tournament 🙌

Happy that France went on to beat those cheating fucks anyway.

football was so much more enjoyable to watch back then i cant explain why

The media, undermining the England team's confidence since 1966.

Commenting 2 days before England play Switzerland. Scary how similar the talk at moment is starting to sound compared to this.

We never pressure the refs 😂 England are the worse for it

This England team didn't even have a way of playing nothing on tactics it was just go out there and play. Played very individual.

Gary Lineker with Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and Alan Hansen was The Perfect Pundit Panel and it ain't been the same since with Wrighty now trying to make the best of being shoved off to ITV to try and get a word in while Gary Neville drones on.

England were awful in this tournament.

karma is a bitch, blokes

Of course KZbin recommends this to me now! Switzerland's number 5 in this game is now their manager. Come on England!

1-2-3 say it together… balance. 18 years later, same story

Gotta love these English cry babies. Perennial bottle jobs.

That wink was iconic - we were all screaming at the TV 20 years ago

I was at this game. Even the Germans in the crowd were cheering for England. Typical Portuguese performance.

Schweinsteiger on a dodgy hamstring ran that midfield!

this was the last time England looked decent

BOTANG

I loved that Spain team but such a shit tournament. Nothing memorable.

Gerrard 😍

lol nothing changes!

and here we are back at Gelsenkirchen

Jesus this was 18 years ago! I better get my shit in order

No eluko, no jill Scott, no Alex Scott and no Laura bore off woods! Proper coverage

Lol can just play this punditry every tournament... Always the same.. No need to hire 😂new pundits

Was a painful one this. But until this game we’d played so bad. We wouldn’t have been good enough to beat France or Italy back then mind.

Sven going to Chelsea was just rumors started by gutter football journalists.

Something I hate about ITV though. They always insist on running their closing credits at the end of the group stages

Deja vu in 2024 eh.

I swear to God we actually never learn 😂 Why did we play Gerrard on the left when we played Scholes on the left in 2006 and it didn't work. PLAY PLAYERS IN THEIR ACTUAL POSITION WHERE THEY PERFORM AT CLUB LEVEL

These English people never win anything at all, they just talk... In this tournament, the Greek national team won for the first time in its history!!!

"Malouda not better than Parker" LOOOOOOOOOL do English pundits ever learn? And I'm an England fan as well. Maybe I'm biased cause I'm a Chelsea fan but Parker wasn't anywhere near Malouda's level

alan shearer voice is so different compared to now. Gary is exactly the same

Nice little gig being a pundit in the Portuguese sun getting sample the food and the culture

"I think that the manager contributed to the downfall of England. At no stage did they ever get that balance and shape and structure right... it never looked like working and he never tried to change it. And certainly with the players at his disposal, you'd have to look and everybody will question the manager and quite rightly so." Sounds familiar.

This match in my opinion is the reason why English media is always hating towards Ronaldo even now in 2024

If only England had used Michael Carrick correctly.

Still having the same problems now a manager that refuses to change system

4 absolute melts arguing over whether or not the blatant red card was fair. England summed up.

4:47 Shearer talking as if England's saintly players wouldn't react to their own defender being stamped on

My first world cup i remember watching this games as an 8 year old at a fete in a gazebo and projector takes me right back 😁
