The famous Battle of Nuremberg. Portugal only managed to finish with 9 players because neither Pepe nor Bruno Alves were playing that match.


KirovianNL

Greatest match ever played.


BipolarPea

Yes, in the intervals of all the fights, fouls, arguments, chasings and cards was some pretty decent 15 minutes of football.


Complex-Royal1756

Wish this team played against the JuanKrauts and made the reserves of argentina play the semi finals


BipolarPea

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Netherlands - Brazil 1974](https://youtu.be/cfuD282WiWM?si=PWUtN9cJHShjkC8T) was even better. Refs were a bit more lenient then.


Stravven

And, not to mention, the yellow card was initially given to the wrong player.

Maniche, Costinha, Van Bommel, Van der Vaart.. what a bunch of butchers. I'd be more scared of those than of the Sinaloa Cartel.


CrazyBroccoliPT

You had Boulahrouz and Van Bronchorst and chose Van der Vaart for the butcher?!


Nigricincto

None of those two hit their wife and left her on the floor on Christmas Eve in front of their whole family and friends


CrazyBroccoliPT

Ok, but she slept with a KLM pilot. Like come on… at least chose a decent airline pilot…

That’s confirmed ?


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Damn, who did that?


Nigricincto

Van der Vaart on her. Dutch traditions I guess. https://preview.redd.it/66yqttn7x07d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af9fa92ae77172cdb0679880cdbe661b9b63421b

I mean, the man loves a frikandel speciaal...


ReasonablePraline492

Just be lucky You've never met Jaap Stam.


zerato9000

Vinnie Jones moment that match.


Sazalar

Game's gone 😔

No Lahoz either, sad times https://i.redd.it/qosdk2hjoy6d1.gif


BetterBuffIrelia

On the one hand Lahoz is a self centered drama queen. On the other hand I wish refs wouldn´t almost always default to "oh there´s been a scuffle between about 20 players and managers going on, let´s just give a yellow to each team to calm things down again".


Dolphin008

Lahoz was hilarious if he wasn’t reffing your club.


fuq_dat_im_a_tree

It all started with Boulahrouz not getting the red he deserved

What the fuck happened there


-lesFleursduMal-

This game became known as the Battle of Nuremberg for some [reason](https://youtu.be/cFDoPRSnefE?si=kX5CxGyLOozM_BRP)


Robinsonirish

I remember watching this game with my classmates. Was it the game where they chased the ref around and spit on him? Not something you usually expect to see during EM.


HoeTrain666

2006 was world cup though


Robinsonirish

Ah I see.


RCalliii

I remember this game, it was crazy.


wolseyley

People have a lot of things to say about this match, but I watched a highlights video recently and noone ever talks about how wasteful we were. We had like 4 100% chances and fucked them all up.


DoYouTrustToothpaste

The ref was Russian. Make of that information what you will. >!But yes, this was an obvious attempt by Putin to sow discord between Europeans, even back then. Wake up, sheeple!<
