This is a great collection of some of the best European matches to date.
Being a young fan of football, I have never been able to appreciate some of the "classics" outside my generation, but this Boxset fully delivers.
Of the 50 matches, these really stood out for me:
France 3 - 2 Portugal, EURO 1984
USSR 0 - 2 Holland, EURO 1988
Holland 1 - 4 England, EURO 1996
Spain 4 - 3 Yugoslavia, EURO 2000
I am so glad these matches are across 10 discs, thus allowing enough time for each game to be shown with enough footage to capture the essence of each game.
Anyway, I would fully recommend this for any football fan out there.

I've never been one to buy football dvd's but after seeing an ad for this i decided to give it a go. I have to say it is a really great collection for any student of the game, with 50 games included spanning five decades of one of the biggest tournament's in the world. All the iconic players are featured such as Beckenbauer, Platini and van Basten as well as the modern masters Zidane, Ronaldo and Xavi.
There are about 25 minutes of highlights for each game, meaning this is no quick review of what happened. you get the opportunity to experience the ebb and flow of the games as well as the stand out moments, making it brillant viewing on a rainy day (there's over 20 hours of football, so for about £1 an hour you definitely get your money's worth).
I found it really interesting to watch the games from pre-1990 that i didn't know much about (Panenka's chipped penalty is a stand out moment) and of course there was the chance to watch england lose on penalties... again! There are several england games featured including the 4-2 against holland at euro 96 and the win against croatia at euro 2004, and the tragedies (germany, france, portugal) are also in there that bring back a lot of memories. Hopefully now chelsea have shown you can beat the Germans at penalties england can as well...

I'd give this a five star rating if it were not for the match commentary which is dubbed and not live from the time. It's farsical and this DVD would have been perfect had they not done that. They should have used original commentry from the likes of Brian Moore and co.
That said, there are 50 great matches and the running time for each game is just right at 30 mins. I really enjoyed re-living these games, and also watching games from decades ago which I'd never seen before.

Opinions vary.
Contrary to all the people saying the dubbed commentary being a joke, awful etc, I think it's pulled off ok. Most of the matches are either great or good. A few ok ones. Read more
