Yes is true, like also Alemania 84, 2008, 2010

@@dmt1967 The Spain of Butragueño had the best Team after Argentina and Germany in 1986, in my opinion, Spain was underrated in 1986. Y hate Belgium Lucky in penals, because i wanted to see semifinal Argentina-Spain what a great match we lose...

@@larrymccoy5394 Spain played better than Brazil when they played each other in group stage.

The unlucky equalizer (for Danes, Lucky for the Spanish team) changed the game :-)

​@@ghostridertom That's true. But football is like that. The same Denmark was lucky to inherit the banned Yugoslavia's place in Euro92. Then they were competent to win the title.

@@JonahJojoTheMan Amen to that :-)

@@JonahJojoTheMan In 1998 they were unlucky to play in-form Brazilians in quarter final.

😂

+hugodrax71 Yep; look at the Denmark v Germany game. Denmark's world cup ended when their controlling influence, Frank Arnesen, was sent off needlessly after a cynical clash and response from Lothar Matteus. Also, remember this was the knock-out stages and having given 2 poor goals away, probably through naivety, at 3-1 they were chasing the game and committing men forward in the last 15 minutes. Spain countered them and picked them off. I would hazard that after the group stages, and with that Spanish side continually flattering to deceive, over-confidence may also have contributed.

+hugodrax71 Simple explanation: That's football. Denmark did not use their chances and/or Spain was lucky - whichever way you want to put it. On the other hand Spain needed 4 or 5 opportunities to score the first 3 goals. That's just happening sometimes ... WC winners usually need a good share of luck except for outstanding class sides like Brazil 1970.

+Jee Jay A cynical clash from Matthäus is me unknown. Maybe you can give the information. The games between Denmark and Germany were in angry mood to this time.

+hugodrax71Agree that the Danish played by far the most exiting play. So what could happen? This happened: The spanish trainer answered to the press which team he would prefer:" Better the danish than the german." How could he say this? The danish showed before their excellent play in the midfield what was the starting point of their brillant attacks. The spanish trainer had a plan against this. His players destroyed the superb danish by a superieur legwork, destroying any plan of the danish. They were immediatly attacked, if they got the ball. They were unable to construct their play which was so feared by the other teams. Losing their plan the danish got complete irritated. After them they were an easy prey.

+hugodrax71 I didn't exactly think they were favorites to win the cup, but yes, I was surprised at this outcome and always thought Arnesen was missed more than expected. Probably they lacked experience as well. They played marvelous football, started to believe in all the hype around them and forgot games at this stage were won the hard way. I'd say they died in their beauty. But this Danmark team will always be one of my favorites to watch and remember.

Spain in 2010 were both

There would not have been many Spanish fans at that match who had travelled from Spain, but most of their support came from Mexicans, who would traditionally support Spain, as they are a Spanish speaking country. The same thing occured at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, where Spain enjoyed huge support at every game, but almost all of the support came from local Argentinians!

@@olegbeaviz It must be a certain part of the Latin American population that went to the match because many Latin Americans perceive the Spanish state as snobbish and von-oben. Then the history of conquistadors.

@@hermosillo11 Many Mexicans supported Argentina in final against West Germany. 🇦🇷

Yes in the olden days ....

if i had been trying this hard not to learn the result before getting home, i'd have assumed that this guy was lying. only to later find out what really transpired.....

Yes. We were all in shock. On paper Spain were the favorites but Danmark was the surprise team of this world cup. They played really good football and defeated the Germans in the group stage. We were all thinking Denmark were going to beat the Spain and then such a high win for Spain. I think this might've been the best team Denmark ever had. I certainly hoped they would've gone higher.

It's implosions like that, the one of the USSR etc. that paved the way that year for the unbalanced Argentina to win the Cup.

@@sgraham1hotmailcom unbalanced ? Argentina had 4 good players with the exception of Maradona

@@superlex611 you're right. They did everything required of them and outplayed all their opponents. I guess they just weren't my team and I'm still not fully over their victory.

@@sgraham1hotmailcom but it felt like a world cup of life

They were very naive. They had a group of top-quality creative and offence-oriented players but sb forgot to inform them that they had to pay attention to their rear as well, especially against a striker as fast as Butragueno, who could absolutely 'kill' you on the counter-attack. Two of the goals the Spanish scored were 'gifts' of the Danish defence; extremely silly and childish mistakes.

Exactly! I never got this. But no champion ever played on a fantastic level throughout a whole tournament. The successful teams somehow manage to give their best achievements in the decisive matches.

They were very much in the game, and were arguably even the better team, until 2-1. They kept pouring forward, even as the Butragueno kept tapping in the goals - it's the only way they knew how to play. A gorgeous team.

Amazing second striker

Scarred for life 😅

Me lembro tambem,e eu tinha 10 anos,que Copa espetacular foi a de 86!!! A Dinamaquina e a Uniao Sovietica jogaram muito na primeira fase!Tinha a revista Placar com uma materia da Dinamarca com o titulo "A despedida dos magicos." Coisas do futebol...

Beacuse Spain was simply a better team.

pure luck !

@@user-nd2ij9oh1t Oh yes. Try again.

Lack of Frank Arnesen? Too much self-confidence after beating West Germany and winning the group? Spaniards deadly efficiency? Yep.

It could have gone all the way back to Spain before they could get it back,in that case 😂.

Dinamarca traia un equipazo con su lider preven Elkjaer jugadorazo entre otros como Laudrup, aunque creo que equivocaron la estrategia quiza subestimando a la furia roja, algo paso a partir del error que les costo el 1er gol, ademas hubo errores garrafales arbitrales que tambien les costaron goles como el tercero o cuarto que fue un gol claramente en fuera de lugar amen de un penalty inexistente.....un mundial plagado de trampas como la que anulo un gol legitimo a Mexico vs Alemania lo cual le costaria ser eliminado en nuestra propia casa, recordemos aquel famoso gol de la "mano de Dios " con maradona vs Inglaterra....en fin una historia mas del futbol.

@@luipierre7283 el 4 gol de España si es fuera de juego... pero los 3 penaltis pitados son penaltis. A Dinamarca le pasó que creía que España iba a ser un paseo como con Uruguay, y ya se sabe que el futbol a veces da sorpresas, y grandes.

@@luipierre7283 El gol de dinamarca viene de un penalty inexistente...no solo el danes se tira sino que ademas salta a la piscina desde fuera del area.

@@loqueyotediga1968 ¿Como va a ser fuera de juego si el pasador está delante de butragueño? Me parece que no entiendes la regla de fuera de juego...da igual si el rematador está por delante del último defensor si el pasador y el balón están delante del rematador. Es gol es legal. E lprimer penalty de dinamarca es un piscinazo como una casa..se tira desde fuera del area por encima de las piernas del defensor.

@@danielfernandez4544 Cierto... llevas razón 👍

I thought the same. It seemed to be normal at that time

Because of yellow and red colors

because hamburgesas are buenas !!!!

because ketchup and mustard are the colors of Spain

Because “They´re lovin´it“

Coincido parcialmente. Porque es cierto que el inexplicable error de Jesper Olsen (tal vez le deslumbró el sol o tal vez no vio a Butragueño) al borde del descanso fue un mazazo. Pero un equipo que es la revelación y aspira a llegar lejos NO puede hundirse ante la primera adversidad. Y se hundieron, evidenciando así una notable fragilidad mental y eso que iban empatados, pero es que aun cuando hubiesen ido perdiendo. Dinamarca tenía un equipazo pero psicólogamente inconsistente. Mientras le fue todo bien en la fase de grupos no tuvo problema. Pero cuando hubo de afrontar la primera adversidad se diluyó de modo decepcionante (por suerte para nosotros claro) . El calor tb les pasó factura. Y que Butragueño te remate de cabeza un córner en el área pequeña es para hacérselo mirar

I remember that USSR had been gotten robbed against Belgium.

Jesper Olsens mistake not Mortens.

Deliberate backpassing was less

@@virtuosowins back passing was allowed until 1990. So ironic no?

I think money hadn’t had such a hold on the game . Players knew each other better from home club sides and as a result better team game.

Exactly like me!

Posiblemente lleves razón... yo incluiría a España tambien... 👍

NO... aunque este partido contra Dinamarca creo que es el mejor que hizo en un mundial. Estaba concentrado y sin perder la posición debajo del arco... excepto en el penalti que hace lo que siempre hacía... dejarse caer a un lado.

Di Stefano is not Spaniard (neither is Puskas or Kubala). However, they really had great players - all the the European Club Cups at that time + their first Euro title is from 1964.

Real Madrid won all of the first five European Cups (1956-60).

Eljaer

A very good point. After such a run Elk. got exhausted so to pass to Laudrup would be an better option.

er...it was played in Mexico in June - what do you expect!?

The exception was the Argentina v Uruguay match ending in a sudden downpour.

Era mais time que a Espanha. Mas pesou a inexperiência

BlackCrowNavajo... porque Goicoexea tenía mas experiencia y se quería asegurar el partido. Luego, el segundo penalti si lo tira Butragueño porque el resultado ya era muy amplio, además, que al lograr el gol Butragueño se ponía como máximo goleador del campeonato con 5 goles, por eso lo tiró... y marcó.

@@loqueyotediga1968 Lo bueno es que era Señor el especialista de la selección, pero no estaba en el campo. Goiko fue una decisión extraña, Michel hubiese sido lo lógico.

@@alejandrodarias_arquitectorecuerdo que el mismo comentarista Angel de la Casa dijo que la decisión fue Goicoexea porque ese tercer gol era muy importante para asegurar el partido y el seleccionador optó por él.

@@loqueyotediga1968 Sí, estoy de acuerdo. Pero Míchel es mejor pateador como de aquí a Lima, por eso mi extrañeza. Quizás tenia entonces 22 años sólo...

​@@alejandrodarias_arquitecto Goikoetxea fue una elección realmente extraña. Fue el primer penalti que marcó para la selección española.

No solo fué injusta, sino claramente insidiosa. Básicamente menciona en medio minuto como Butragueño eliminó a Dinamarca "pero luego se hizo justicia" cuando fueron eliminados por Bélgica...

te olvidas de Brasil
