England's Road to Germany 2006

[@BLaDe78911]

I’ve got the DVD, and I still occasionally watch it purely because I love this era of England. The real golden generation. With the 2006 WC still being my favourite WC to this date. Thank you for uploading this, can watch this whenever and wherever

[@rohithraman6488]

You might say that this is real golden generation but let's be honest, the England team from 2018-21 gelled more as a team than the 2006 team

[@Nufclife-it4eo]

Me too

[@Enzoblueblood]

I believe this is the era when England started to play with an inferiority complex.

[@bigmofarah9084]

Do you like being tortured with scalding hot iron rods? This team was good on paper but abysmal to watch. They had no direction, no cohesion and tbh the players were not even the slightest bit likeable.

[@BLaDe78911]

@@bigmofarah9084 the players were the most likeable group of England players in my lifetime. The most talented group yet the only reason why they never excelled is because we had a terrible manager insisting on a 4-4-2 formation with Gerrard and Lampard at CM, neither of which were known for their defensive abilities which is required as a sort of box to box midfielder that Eriksson wanted

[@jzlnz]

Yes England had the golden generation but let's get real France with Zizou, Henry, Veira especially Henry form had a stacked squad, same goes to Italy top attacker Totti, Del Piero, even Veiri didn't make the squad , Portugal with Figo, Deco and Porto squad with CL glory and last but not least it's Brazil with R9, R10 , Adriano , Kaka. In general 06 World cup full of stars is not only England with golden generation it's full of stars.

[@ianhitman]

England in that period had like a team in the Champions League final every year for a few seasons. This was the time to really show it. All of them in their prime, too. Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Neville, Hargreaves, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney all went on to win Champions Leagues. A proper group of players, but sadly not a proper team.

[@jzlnz]

@@ianhitman you can't make the case of Neville, he wasn't a world class. Rooney just emerged to the scene. Yes he's world class it's a step to early for him. Nevertheless other teams had better players. Brazil, Italy, Portugal, France or even the Netherlands had a better squad than England.

[@davidknell8831]

This generation 2024 makes that bunch look silly!

[@Al-ji4gd]

@@ianhitman Most of those teams made the final every year because of the foreign talent, not the English talent. Schmeichel, Van der Sar, Vidic, Evra, Stam, Irwin, Giggs, Cristiano, Tevez, Yorke, Cech, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Desailly, Deco, Ballack, Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Makelele, Luis Garcia, Hyppia, Xabi Alonso, Mascherano, Reina, Kuyt, Torres, etc.

[@TheWasp30]

I still maintain if hoddle had been in charge from 2004 to 2010 that he wouldve won something the squad england had. He took charge 6 years too soon.

[@bocjagne2878]

There has never been an England manager that has been criticized, harassed and lambasted more than Sven. I was surprised the guy didn't leave sooner he did. England under achieved in his tenure but that's not his fault because he's a brilliant manager.

[@User.adymitch]

They have under achieved with every manager meaning zero trophies.. we have had some talent over the years

[@bocjagne2878]

@@User.adymitch That's true but he had the most talented bunch of players. No England team in any era could have beaten the Germans 5-1 in their own backyard.

[@dondamon4669]

He was terrible and completely clueless and it's clear now he didn't do anything

[@hmq9052]

We found out recently that Sven said to Rio after his first training session "My centre backs don't run with the ball. They pass" Thereby immediately taking away one of his main attributes. Sven was a boring, pragmatic Swede. Not the ice cool technician the FA wanted us to see

[@BennettSwann]

@@hmq9052 Particularly unfortunate that one, when Glenn Hoddle had a long-term plan to develop Ferdinand as a sort of libero/sweeper/centre-back who plays out, in a back 3. He tried in once vs Cameroon in '97 and it went well. Sven really was such a step backwards just as much as Keegan. We all saw it at the time tbf and not just in hindsight.

[@Joewizzard260]

Love all your England 00’s vids - keep them coming!

[@SunilPatel-yo9di]

It’s great but painful to See knowing his life is uncertain 2024 I wish he can recover because I lived sven to watch but brings good memories I watched this and even had the dvd but I feel sad now knowing this great man who won with lazio and managed England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 sad that this man is I’ll I pray this man can survive against his battle with cancer I wish the bus would find away to end cancer in ever part of the body

[@ezraezra2928]

The golden generation for England that are still yet to win the tournament. I guess Gareth Southgate's golden generation are under the same pressure as Eriksson's one in 2022 World Cup, especially after the inclusion of Harry Maguire.

Whooo

[@cvslfc1234]

Seeing a Lewandowski in the Poland line up threw me off a bit.

[@badabing8884]

40 years of hurt have turned into 60 years. It’ll continue until England can find a way to play which dominates the ball in the opposition half.

[@miladeskandari7]

"They're a lesser country than us" That kinda attitude is why most football fans in the world want England to miserably fail in every competition

Commentator thinks they're playing the Irish republic and not Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not "the Irish"

[@Ayoung2028]

Golden generation or not, England were pretty awful from 2005 onwards, scraping victories against absolute shite. Rooney was so good and then never played a great game for England again after 2006. We haven’t had a player since that can do what he did

Even when they lost, they gave 100% effort. Now it's just boring football.
