DVD Reviews (217): EC Classics Collection, Edition 09 - semi-finals in 1988 West Germany - Netherlands (1-2) (2008)

(Cover: Amazon.de )

Similar to the World Cup two years previously published classics collection published "Bild am Sonntag" together with the collector series specialists DeAgostini before the 2008 European Football Championship a 40 editions comprehensive set not the major parts of the German team in European competitions as well as some classics without German participation in, chronological order-contained. All discs was a booklet with detailed information on history, background and statistical elements such as lists, etc. attached. The

continues today German-Dutch soccer rivalry founded in World Cup final of 1974 had, in the semifinals of the European Championships 1988 just 14 years old. However, the game in the venerable Hamburger Volksparkstadion did pretty much everything to all good and ugly side effects of such a grim power struggle needs. Some great moves alternated with ugly fouls, acting through the now generally made tougher nowadays two or three times brutal. A well Klinsmann taken out, at least doubtful penalty is topped by a glaring mistake that the playing on the leg of the ball Jürgen Kohler stumbling Marco van Basten also has a (by Koeman transformed sure) gave a penalty. The latter stood at another player (but not be seen on the DVD) for seriously unsportsmanlike scene in the center, as he deals with the demonstrative after the game by Olaf Thon obtained jersey wiping the ass. Hours of fighting the hooligans from both countries in downtown Hamburg round off this inglorious day football history, who, by the following two years became legendary -round match at the World Cup in Italy quickly forgotten.

It would all be much nicer. After initial sampling, there were attractive to watch football, which of course the eventual winners the Netherlands with his trio van Basten, Rijkaard Gullitt and - the first three places in the election to Europe "Player of the Year" 1988 - fun had his nose in front. The 2-1 victory is a last-minute goal by van Basten took place despite all the tragedy, therefore in order. However, many things are just too annoying to have to pay real classic feel. The already counted not one of the most likeable of international football Dutch keeper Hans van Breukelen robs his Reklamiererei and the open and hidden (though now repented ) venom last nerve of even the neutral spectator. I think that nowadays would be rewarded in such frequent sardonic applause or thumb high stretching in the direction of the referee quite promptly to early showers. In the past, not everything better ...

The picture and sound of the DVD is acceptable, even the comment Wilfried Lucht's to meet the needs of this edition. Unfortunately, here too, with scenes before kick-off and after the final whistle stingy, something added to preliminary reports from 1988 would have been made today, this interesting. Due to the very ordinary game but the second highest rating.

Rating: 4 of 5
