ENGLAND beat CROATIA at EURO 2004

Спорт

As Croatia face England in the 2018 FIFA World Cup semi-final in Moscow, UEFA.tv look back on the first and only meeting of the two nations at a major tournament.
The Three Lions triumphed 4-2 over Croatia at the group stage of Euro 2004. A Wayne Rooney brace and goals from Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard were enough to see off Croatian goals from Niko Kovač and Igor Tudor.

    Greece really buggered this tournament up for a lot of teams. Czech Republic were a lot of fun to watch, France played well in the group stages and couldn't figure Greece out, Spain went home and The golden Generation of Portugal lost to them twice! Imagine if England had played them, probably would've lost to a 1-0 Charisteas goal and the press would've ridiculed them.

    Fat Apples I know! The stars they were is the problem too, they all played as individuals for England and not as a team. This team had no where near the team spirit and togetherness the current England team as. Many of these players admitted there was club rivalry involved and they all kept in groups in the dressing room.. like prison gangs. Just look at the crucial Rooney goal in 1st half stoppage time to put us in front, only Beckham and Scholes go to join him celebrate (all Man Utd players)

    bob hope, i don't think so, they really played well and gave their best but the pressure "ate" them at the worst possible moment... at both EURO 2004 and WC 2006 they lost in penalties to Portugal, if they had cooler heads they would win medals at both of these tournaments already and England would not have to wait until 2018 for another big tournament semifinal. This team from 2004-06 was much better than the current one.

    Cause they faced one of the best if not the best Portugal team ever aswell. Remember Porto 2004? A team full of portuguese players that dominated the Champions LEague, thats the main backbone of this team, you can add Ronaldo, Figo (old but gold), Rui Costa and others. It was a really close game, between the 2 best teams of the tournament. I dont count Greece as the best cause all they did was defend 90 minutes and score on a fucking corner in the final.

    For those who wonder about why this England generation couldn't win anything: In 2000s, there were so many stronger teams. Italy with Buffon, Cannavaro, Maldini, Nesta, Zanetti, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Pirlo, Del Piero, Totti. Brazil with Dida, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Juninho, Kaka, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho France with Barthez, Thuram, Abidal, Makelele, Pires, Desailly, Vieira, Zidane, Henry, Trezeguet So I don't think it's weird that England didn't win anything in that period.

    Greece winning euro 2004, despite the incredible players that were active in this tournament (look up the squads from England, Portugal, France, Netherlands , Czech in 2004 etc), remains the biggest surprise in the history of football, even more so than Denmark 92, that team had still some world class players like Laudrup brothers, but Greece 2004, a team of players barely good enough to play in the European subtop. Just a mystery to this day.

    Winning international tournaments is all about making a well rounded TEAM. England have always had this stupid obsession about one superstar carrying the whole team. It can't be done and usually messes up the English psyche and approach to international football. That is 'typical England's downfall. Square pegs, round holes, to fit some so-called superstar or 'once in a generation' player into the limelight. Build him up and then knock him down. It's toxic.

    He was a really good keeper, but everyone always felt he had one complete mess up or brain fade moment in him in any given match. He played so long, for so many good teams - the odd thing is that his peak was probably in the mid 90s "Spice Boys" era at Liverpool but he had to wait almost another decade to become England No.1.

    I've never come close to feeling as excited about an England player as I was about Rooney pre-July 2004. It felt great to genuinely believe that we had somebody who could well end up being the best player in the world. People would've laughed at you back then if you'd said this would be the last better-than-average game Rooney would have at a tournament. They'd also laugh if you'd said this would be the last better-than-average game Rooney would have in a competitive game against a decent team but I think you can argue that is the case as well! I don't think you can blame injuries for his subsequent nightmares for England because he was still great for United for most of the 9 years after this, albeit not quite as great as he was before his injury against Portugal. He's got more medals and records than most players would ever dream of having and history will only remember him as a great player but I will always remember those great perfomances in 2003 and 2004 and think of what England fans expected from Rooney over the next dozen years and compare it to what we actually got! If his mostly-terrible last three years at United were a huge disappointment, his post-Euro 2004 England career was a tragedy!

    I think it was Neville and Lampard who said that the defining moment in this tournament was Rooney getting injured. They said it affected the morale of the whole team because Rooney was truly unstoppable at the time. I don't doubt England would have at least made it to the final with him fit.

    For some reason people (well, English people) love to bash Erikson's England, but this tournament they were great, the team was balanced, tough and full of quality. I'm not English (Italian) but I think England was actually the best team, they just lacked a bit of luck, which is always needed to win tournaments. England - Portugal should have been the final.

    They were amazing players in their own right... Problem was that they didn't work well together as a team. Too many star players trying to compete amongst themselves for the spotlight.

    yeah exactly that English team was really very good, the problem is there were a lot of good teams back in the day, like Portugal with Ronaldo, Figo, Deco, Rui Costa, so it could go either way and unfortunately for England it went Portugal's way at that tournament. Nonetheless, I still believe that this team from 2004-06 had much more talent that the current English team. You cannot even try to compare players like Trippier, Lingard, Alli, Henderson to Beckham, Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard...

    And I think that's because tactically they were poor. They should have played 4-3-3 to allow more width in midfield and more space to operate generally. And the team should have been built around Paul Scholes as the pivot, and Gerrard or Lampard should never have been on the pitch at the same time. In fact substituting Gerrard for Lampard, or vice versa, on say 60 minutes would have allowed for the team to have more endurance and longevity within a tournament. Instead Sven tried to cram them all in into a system that made them awkward and slow. Plus would have been a lot better with a little more pace in the midfield. I put the majority of their failure down to tactical sterility and the inability to put team before ego, and a coach afraid of bruising the fragile egos of millionaire superstars who on their own were often not as good as they were made to look by other, usually foreign, players.

    Great players but little to zero chemistry in midfield. There was little to no buildup play & more of individual long range/try your luck efforts coz of the uncoordinated attack. Players didn't seem to know what their team mates intend to do. Spain 08-12 on the other hand with way more talented options in mid didn't miss a beat. David Silva, Xavi, Iniesta & Xabi Alonso played like a dream and guys like Fabregas & Carzola came off the bench and fit right in.

    As I write this, it’s the summer of 2021, the day of England's quarter final against the Ukraine. What strikes me is the number of comments talking about how amazing it was to have Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes in the same team. I can’t think of a formation, apart from maybe 2-6-2, that allows you to play all of those players in their most effective positions. Southgate wouldn’t do this. As a manager who favours the system over the personnel, he’d play one or two of them and make sure that he was putting square pegs in the appropriately shaped holes. It may be a bit dull, but it’s proving to be quite effective.
