what a wonderful tournament Euro 88 was 8 teams 15 matches over in 15 days just 2 groups of 4 teams Group 1 and 2 two semi finals and a final Holland were amazing team and deserving champions how many are here as we are into Euro 2024 in Germany 36 years after it was held in West Germany. the stadiums was not all seate'r then and not enclosed like the ones today thanks for this video

Holland was the Best team from this tournament (with the milanese trio). Michels had made the changements after the defeat against USSR, the key game is the victory against Ireland. I had look all matchs in French, thé Best matchs are Germany-Spain, England-Holland, Ireland-USSR and Spain-Italy. The worst matchs are England-Ireland, Germany-Denmark (house referee from Mr Valentine). Germany cannot win this Euro, Matthaus is too alone in mitfield, Herget had make a bad tournament (he had make a big mistake against Italy and with the critics, mentally he had dive), Berthold and Buckwald (key players in the victory of WC 1990) are injured and he hasn't a good right back in the team. USSR had lack in this game, Belanov and Khidiatulyn had average. Kusnetsov had the Best defender of the tournament with Rijkaard and his suspension for the final had cost the title during the final. England very very unlucky. Between posts, goals conceded in key moments, Lineker's sick (hepatite B) and Butcher's injury (Adams is very young) he had not a chief in the defense. Hoddle was the Best English player. Ireland was the surprise from the competition, they beat England for their first match, good for mental. 8 minutes againt Holland, Kieft's head had make the decision.

What poetic narration! Aside from that, not sure why he attacks Rudi Voller so brutally in the first 10 minutes haha

Who the fucks fuller and Matthias fella 😂

Unbelievable from big Craig Charles makes it even better if possible fuckin unbelievable these official films like World Cup ones

I was 8 at the time. What I remember most vividly (apart from the victory celebrations of course) is the almost paranoid emnity before the game against germany. It was everywhere.

What a joke As your know The Best world are dis😅

Along with 1986's Hero from the World Cup in Mexico, this is a truly great documentary. I find the music is quite poignant, saddening, representing a lost era of life back in 1988, when a lot of our loved one's were still alive and around, the soundtrack at the opening and closing credits is a tearjerker, a much more, uncomplicated, innocent world it was back then, and so was the game of football, no bullshit at all, no narcissistic egos, no tattoo infused overpaid show ponies. It was more about heart than about pocket back then. You could say that the game of football was more working class back then, more socialist, the way it should still be, the best way. Way more honest, it was too. TOR was a brilliant documentary. This, was the last of the great European Football Championships. It was the last classic tournament. The best 8 teams in Europe. Tournaments today are all about quantity rather than quality, all for money's sake. It's pure shit and greed. The World Cup, the European Championships, and especially the Champions League.

Too bad Toni Schumacher had cut himself off the national team by publishing his doping book. The difference between him and Immel screamed volumes. I seriously doubt they would have lost to the Netherlands with him on the goal. It's also difficult to understand why Beckenbauer kept Illgner on the bench, either...

Tenia 10 años y recuerdo ese gran torneo...el ambiente de futbol q se respiraba y esa holanda genial...

Who’d have thought Lister from Red Dwarf would narrate this video? Smegging brilliant! 🤣👏🏽

In 2024, UEFA EURO will hold in Germany 🇩🇪

What a tournament this was. Every game was great and only the top 8 teams could enter the competition. Not this diluted nonsense you see nowadays.

تقريب الصورة زيادة عن اللزوم يقلل متعة المشاهدة كما يجب احتواء الملخص على فرص المباراة فقط وليس على لقطات مكررة وليس لها معنى أو فائدة

The three Dutchmen. Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Marco Pierre White. What a front 3!.

Oh and Germany's kit was the best they ever wore.

What a video. Beautiful narration, generally showed a time when the world was more normal more happy. Soccer players were elegant, not the tattooed,multimillionaire freak shows they later became. This was the tournament that made me a fan of Holland. Truly a deserved title for them. What i especially loved about this tournament also were the team jerseys., especially Netherlands and Ireland. Adidas did a great job with the kits. Today's are just plain garbage. Is it me or after the 80s everything went to hell? Who cares if we didn't have smartphones, facebook or instagram. We had passion and fervour something seriously lacking today.

What a wonderful team (Netherlands) with success at the end for once 🤗😊👍⚽️👏

Rinus Michels, the most influential coach in the history and art of playing the sport of football.

about time Holland won it! what a team, but those three were the heartbeat, the magicians - Gullit, Rijkaard and Van Basten. Desayev what a keeper

Atmosphere, intensity, music, huge crowds, colors, that '80s vibe, this is such a gem. This was the last major tournament where stadiums had large standing areas. Since then they have been all-seater stadiums with only a few exceptions and even they were in the early 90s. Something has been lost in atmosphere then.

Deutschland am besten

Thats the scouse cant fae Red Dwarf as the narrator Lol😂

Annoying voice over

Muy Buen Torneo La Euro De 1988 Fue Y Sera La Mejor De Todos Los Tiempos Con Execlentes Jugadores Que Te Inspiraban A Jugar Al Futbol Ahora En Estos Dias Ya No Existe El Futbol Ahora Es Mas Bien Un Negocio Sucio Plagado De Corupcion

I remember I had the German Jersey I would of been 10years old they wore the same in the 1990 world cup I loved the German team

The Russian goalkeeper as I remember in 88 was amazing 👏

watched this with my father and never seen his face light up this much, this really brought memories and how he talked about each player and got happy when he got the names right. Just magical, thanks for this footage

This particular tournament for represents a massive shift in shirt designs. The West German & Dutch shirts in particular.

whos the narrator on this? his voice sounds familiar

netherlands is greater and more beautiful than playing football. It is enough to invent total football that taught the world ---🇱🇺 🇪🇬💖🌻 I m egyptian

In this championship was only ONE team, ONE opponent and ONE favourite. It was the USSR team!!!

Holland were unbelievable very very strong team in 1988 ,there were many strong teams ,but sorry Holland were like real hereos

My favorite soccer video of all time. The commentator is simply brilliant.

Прям из голландцев культ сделали!! А первый пространный команде СССР матч не показали!! Не было его типа🤣🌺🤣

ПРОТАСОФФ!! ЗАВАРОФФ! БЕЛАНОФФ!!🤣🌺🤣

Ireland were very unlucky against the Dutch

Love it first time ireland in a euros

Protasov's semi final goal is a class finish.

close up filming . boring

thank you so much for posting!

Germany got a real gift from the referee against Italy ….. unfair

Great footage, pity about the incomprehensible Scouse voice-over.... ruined it for me....

That narrator needs to learn to speak English whoever he is.... and also could at least have TRIED to learn the pronunciation of the players' names....,

Wtf is Dave doing on this?...I'd rather have kryton instead 😒

That Klinsmann penalty was a total dive, and so the second penalty was karma. The rest was clear, the better team won

Bel documentario! L Italia era una squadra molto forte e giovane, ricordo ancora l amarezza per l eliminazione contro la grande URSS.. niente di paragonabile al dolore di 2 anni dopo.. Contro l'Argentina in Italia90. Il commentatore ha l'accento di Liverpool!? 🤣🤣 anche un italiano lo riconosce.. Saluti da Roma.
