Germany 1-5 England | Full Match | World Cup Qualifier 2001 | ReLions

This was a dream game.

I agree to a point ...but after hearing..many of my elder members of the family ..they say he should never had won over 100 caps ...it was the name that got him into the side ...and coming on as a sub .. shouldn't count ...I don't know ...Reg the sub thingi feel if u come onto the pitch ..ofplay u have represented your country .. Melanie 33...❤️🤍💙 ...💚💛

Looking back at these old games you realise how poor the quality of football used to be... England won 5-1, but for 90% of the game couldn't string two passes together... The current side would hammer Beckham et al 7-0...

Far too many adverts

Interestingly, this wasn't the main camera view that evening, that showed the match live in the UK. The live BBC coverage of the match, with John Motson commentating (RIP Motty) was filmed from the otherside of the stadium, with UK Sponsor boards showing along the side of the pitch. This is the German footage / camera position being used in this video. It's a shame that many of these look-back videos of famous old football matches use commentary that has been re-done, wasn't there at the time. John Motson also did the commentary live for the BBC for the 2001 FA Cup Final at Cardiff, that memorable commentary from him when Owen scored the winner. And yet, the re-done footage has another commentator, (actually i think it's the same guy who's re-done this commentary) who wasn't there at the time. It's a shame because for me, John Motson's live commentary on these moments are as special as the moments themselves, they are part of history of the game, and sadly they've now been removed from that history. Real shame. Rest in peace John Motson.

History Today (September 1)

1 September 2001: Germany 1-5 England (World Cup Qualification). England won a landslide victory over Germany 5-1 in Munich, Germany.

Owen was lethal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well done to England, no denying it. Although hardly a stellar German side, a lot of forgettable players, apart from Ballack and Oliver "insanity" Khan, who may have dropped some LSD prior to kick off judging by the way he played at times. Then Germany get to the 2002 final. England have all the talent, just need that tournament mentality.

Long time ago😂

Thanks for uploaded

For England Beckham was always a lion.....

England, LOL....🤣🤣

Before Lampard came along and ruined it! We had strikers didn’t need Lampard!

As if this game wasn't memorable enough, Pierluigi was managing it 👌🏻

Yet Germany reached the final of those world cup and England got knocked out In the quarter finals as usual

That was on the same weekend of the I'm so Excited from the Pointer Sisters song

We’re such much better now

Beckham was a great passer, his passes and assists were Excellent

Love you unspeakable

To date, the England national team has won 3 times against Germany in competitive events:
1. England 4-2 West Germany (World Cup 1966)
2. England 1-0 Germany (Euro 2000)
3. England 2-0 Germany (Euro 2020)

Beckham was absolutely immense, and the best passer of the ball I've ever seen, and he chases everything and they play through him and he is a legendary free kick taker. Surely the best English footballer ever.

hopefully we have a replay of this in the euros

the FA should play this before we play them in 2021 ;-

Great, but for God's sake lose the blue and red patterned background it's awful and destracting

Gerrard goal and interception/assist for the fourth goal is exceptional.

LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE 😅

Most people have probably forgotten this now but FIFA did England a massive favour and probably made this result possible the day before this game when, with three group games still to be played, they suddenly announced that they'd made the draw for the play-offs behind closed doors and that the runners-up in England's group would play Ukraine or Belarus in the play-offs.

I remember England fans and, I'm sure, players too were worried about how hard the play-offs would be if we didn't win this game, so it came as a great relief to know that, worst case scenario, we'd only have to beat Ukraine to get to the World Cup.

That meant we went into this game in a pretty relaxed mood, knowing that defeat wouldn't be a disaster.

The best England squad.

The English don't have many highlights in their history, so this one has to be their greatest achievement in football, this is their world cup final. Even their only international trophy is a fluke one with the phantom goal. It's ironic that Germany lost this match 5-1 but went on all the way to the world cup final, despite they were in the transitional period. England is the most overhyped football team in the world.

What’s funny is that prior to this we smashed them in two world wars.

19 years ago today this game

Owen number one

Its friendly not qualy

这支德国队最后拿了世界杯亚军

Is it just me or does this field seem exceptionally narrow?

Don't mention the goals, it not exciting as it's supposed to be..!!!😋 🎸 💪😷

Heskey was so bad, he only got in the England squad because he played for Liverpool. Strong on the ball apparently, but lost possesion almost everytime he had the ball.

I think it was after this that they invaded Poland.

Thanks....bit of a lockdown reviver.... now to get on with some work.

Thanks for giving us a full match

it's 2020 and' i'm still waiting to control Heskey's first touch...

5-1 and even Heskey scored

This is my pe hw 😂😂

When’s match is this?

What a game this was for an England fan , one of England's best games in the 21st century so far. :D
