Worst defeat in Croatian history.

>No England NT
No watchy.

I just read that if in group stage, Czechia - Turkey would have ended with a draw, then the qualified team would have been decided with a penalty shootout... in the group stage holy kino it would have been

I was watching Poland Croatia with my polish friend and Croatia won I was supposed to be successful then

>>149946640 (OP)
What I remember is that Turkey and Russia made it to the semifinals
Turkey had so many injured/suspended players that their substitute goalkeeper was contemplated to enter as a field player

That czechia turkey match was beyond absurd. The whole turkey run in 2008 was crazy.

Were you seriously born in 2005? Haha jfc. The years really do move on so fast. What I hate is that unlike the first world NEETs on 4chan, I actually spent my 20s as per the life manual. I was working, progressing in my career, socially. I went abroad, even to Estados Unidos. Yet I feel like all of it was for nothing. Like, what if I instead opted to live those years like 4chan incels, goofing around and getting drunk daily. I stopped playing video games at 14.

Anyway, youngin don't be drawn in by the ignorance of this website. You're here so early so it can end up creating flawed impressions on you. At your age I was in history, economics and geopolitics forums.

As for your question, nothing really. People thought Netherlands would win at the end of the group stage then choked monumentally in the QF. No different to France in 2004.

You need to understand that Euros has never really had gravitas. This is because the major European countries measure themselves by the world cup. It's not like the situation with AFCON, where in Africa this is our everything. People talk about Euros more now because media and tournament marketing drives conversations. It's not organic.

If Mutu scored this penalty, we would have finished 2nd in a group with Italy, France and Netherlands

First football tournament not sure if it was brutal though. I remember that Fernando Torres goal in the final like yesterday. He did a half arsed kneeslide. I remember watching that in 2009 Youtube over and over again and it had some weird reggae song in the background.

>northern ireland played ireland's anthem in the video game
lel. also
>ynr tournament specific vidya
I miss world cup games.
