They actually did the minigolf and they also got to McDonald’s during the tournament😄

A fun story from a Dane living in the Netherlands at that time: First of all, going from just not qualifying all the way to the end coming so far was quite a thrill, even to me, not really interested in sports. It could always be heard when the Dutch scored in a match: Noise and fireworks in the streets, especially after the match. In the semi finals the Danish team played the Dutch - and won, everything was quiet in the streets, They were so disappointed. On the other hand, when the final arrived and the Danes won, the Dutch celebrated as if they had won. The neighbor came to my door with a bottle of wine, quite unexpectedly (for me, at least).

Fun story: I was on holiday in Germany when we won. I was 16 and with my parents and sister and a bunch of germans watching the match in the hotel common room. I was quite in awe when they all came over and congratulated us and shook our hands. So nice of them. ❤️

Your liquorice reactions are always hilarious, but this is the best one by far. xD

I was 17 and we were a bunch of guys and a girl in my room watching the finale. Ofcourse we had a lot of beers, since that was perfectly normal for 16/17 years olds to drink. When we won, We grabbed a couple of bags of beer and went to the busstop. The bus had danish flags on it, like it has when it is the queens birthday, and it were 1/4 full. The busdriver didn't accept any payments, so we just drove along for free. More people arrived at every busstop, dressed in red and white and had small flags with them. At some point the bus was full and couldn't take in more people. We sung danish football songs and had a great party in the bus. The bus couldn't finish its ride, because the center of Copenhagen was full of people on the streets. We partied all night long at Rådhuspladsen and had to walk home, because no busses or Taxis drove anymore. When I woke up with a lot of hangovers, I watched TV and the danish team driving in an open bus from the airport to Rådhuspladsen. I felt so proud and wished I could have been at the road to congratulate them with the 1000's of other people. But my hangovers said no.

After we won people took to the streets among other places in Copenhagen, and had a blast of a party. I remember a few days later seeing on the news, a journalist interviewing people, and at some point they showed a young guy standing on top of a police car waving a giant Dannebrog back and forth. The journalist asked a police officer standing right next to the police car, If it wasn't against the law jumping around on top of a police car, and the police officer looked up at the young man, looked back at the reporter, smiled and said "Not today".

I remember the summer of 92 Kevin Nash walked into that alleyway and it changed his life forever

I was 10 years Old in ‘92, and i remember the day we won vividly. I don’t Think i’ve seen my father as happy as that day and i doubt i ever will.

I live in Aarhus, and on the night of Euro ‘92, spontaneous cheering broke out all over the city after the match. I met my neighbors the next day, both pf them were in their 70’s at the time. They told me the only other time, they’ve experienced a general mood of joy like that, was on the evening of may 4th, 1945. (I don’t know how much WWII occupation you know about Denmark, but that was the night of the announcement about the germans in Holland, Northwestgermany and Denmark surrendering.) Lakridsrod ... you’re not supposed to digest it. You’re just supposed to chew on it, until the taste has been chewed away. But it is very ... “woody”. A fact you need to be prepared for. But tip of the hat for at least trying it out. 👍🏻

I remember 92 somewhat vividly. I was a teenager, and my sport was Handball rather than Football so I did not really pay attention to the Euros until we made it past the qualifiers. We had not been supposed to go and then suddenly there we were advancing and advancing. Coming from a pessimistic family we did not celebrate the win against the Netherlands too hard, but when we won the finals my dad who was apathetic to sports as well was super happy, we went to the town center and it was absolute partying chaos, people climbing on top of buildings, there was so much singing, drinking and cars drove through the town all night with people yelling, celebrating and so on. The euphoria lasted for days and to this day I think all of the footballers who participated in the Euro 92 are sort of national heroes. It also set precedents for our receptions of winners like our handball teams when they are awesome. But nothing quite matches 92 because it was such an epic story.

Two doses of nostalgia. Licorice root reminds me of my childhood in the 60's. You just chew it, don't swallow. And '92. What I remember best is the evening of the semifinal. I did not watch it. I was playing board games with my friends as I always did on Monday night. On my way from my friend's house to the station, I was passed by a car honking its horn, and the people in it were waving red and white scarves. That is when I knew we hand won. The train was packed with people celebrating. They got off at Copenhagen Central, to go Town Hall Square to continue celebrating. I stayed on and went home.

In ‘92, I was sailing as a cadet and was not able to see any of the football games in the championships. We received news by telex and when Denmark won, Lyngby Radio sent a telex one meter long: D A N M A R K E R B L E V E T E U R O P A M E S T R E It was hilarious. Later, Søfartens Velfærdsråd sent out tapes(VHS - I’m old) with the matches where Denmark participated. Even though we knew the results, we watched the matches with great enthusiasm. Wonderful!

the licorice root is awesome in herbal tea. Shred it up with some dried stingnettle leaves, dried elderflowers, dried apple and dried camomile flowers, add a little honey, and yum! a healthy herbal tea with a hint of licorice and mild summer flowers :D

Thx for reminding us of that fantastic summer of 1992, where a small country won the cup! I remember the joy and fun walking the streets, and that evening everybody was happy, friendly and hugging each other!!! Further more I am proud of the danish fans "ROLIGgans", as you know rolig = calm, opoisite many other countries, where they have hooliganf. So even the nature of danes, is reflected in our footballfans, and are welcome and respected all over the world! Thx again, and keep up the good work.

You must see the match between Denmark and Netherlands, the match before the final. So powerful and fighting match and a horrifying end

Ah the 90' when chewing on a stick was candy 🥲 Funny thing about 92 whenever I tell that I experienced it to younger people, I instantly becomes a wise old sage in their eyes

I was on vacation on Samsø with my 7 year old son, on a campsite near Ballen, when the last matches were played. Remember how sad first the Netherlands guests were, and then the German guests. We had a great stay at the campsite ;⁠-⁠)

Gosh! The dedication in that intro. Throwing a bowl of popcorn all over 🤣🤣🤣

I especially love one scene from the movie (perhaps not easy to understand for English speakers without subtitles). The moment from the training pitch the day before the final, Richard sees John Faxe practising his shooting technique that he thinks is the way to go. Richard explaines him what he's not good at, which players he shouldn't compete with and then why he was selected for the team (running, makes the things work, never gives up etc). But - if the ball comes to him in the right position, he expects him to shoot. "BUT LOOK AT YOUR LACES WHEN SHOOTING". Real story. It actually did pay off in the final. Really good actors btw.

The amount of nostalgia i have about that movie makes it impossible to make an objective review so its so fun to see you describe it. My dad was jumping around on one leg is insane euphoria. Will never forget it.

The beat match in that turnering was the semifinale aginst! Holland That was pure will and fight for winning the match 😉🇩🇰

I remember the summer of '92 The day of the final, my workplace (one of many)got the day off!! Which was such a good idea, to be able to watch the whole match, with no qualms! A good beer day! I was one of the crowd, on Rådhuspladsen...as a nation, we partied, for quite a long time! 🤣 - cudos to you, watching it in Danish, with Danish subtitles 👍 Lakridsrod, is to be chewed and suckled, without chewing it off the stick! 🤣 p.s. I don't enjoy it either 😉 - hello from Hundested 🌸🌱

Haha love how Miranda was like I was right about Peter Schmeichel 😂. Yeah it brings back memories with the lakridsroot. Btw don't destroy it by chewing too much then you get too much bark. Btw how cute is those pictures with little baby Maya 😁

You guys are great. Going through your videos now, and i´m warmth by your kind messages about my country. THX.

The celebration in Copenhagen after the winning match, best party ever, so much joy and so much love, best memory

Did you know that Lyngby won the danish superliga just before EM 92, so you can imagine how amazing that summer was for me as a Lyngby fan (even before i move to here) back in 92 i was a paperboy and have so many funny memories for the morning after on my route with very drunk but happy people there wanna buy mine newspaper for a lot money 😁🇩🇰🏆⚽️

Loved seeing you not loving the wood sticks 😄You guys are still the best to watch!

Yay!! A childhood memory, I loved the lakridsroots/rødder! You hardly ever see them any more, if I ever find one again, I’ll need to try them again for sure☺️

The Eurocup final was on my mums 35th birthday. A month earlier my mum had asked my dad if it was safe to invite guests on the day. My dad was sure Denmark wouldn't get so far. We ended up watching the game with the guests. When the game was finished all the adults and my 13 years old brother vanished into town to celebrate and I was left at home with my grandmother and a 70 years old male guest. I was 16.

This is the best 'Try it on Tuesday' from all the different reactions 🤣

HUTTELIHUT!!! - The clips used in the movie from the real matches still gives me the chills :) huge huge moment in danish football (soccer) history :)

a true real life underdog story. its as danish as it can get. I was about 10 and i remember that day. the liquorice root thing, you just need to soak it in your mouth, and then chew/squeeze the juices out of the root for the taste. its fun the first couple of time, but gets old really quick

There was a party all over the country. It was a magical time, from game to game, we probably didn't think we had a chance, but we did it. Had the chance a few time to greet Richard Møller Nielsen at matches in Svendborg when he came by. He was a trainer for SFB before I was born, but he came to matches there still, it really speaks to his personality and a great OB trainer and honoured him with naming the Fan section "Richard Møller Nielsen Tribunen", also the square outside is named after him.

I remember everything I did, and where I were that day in `92.

The Euro win in 1992 is one of the things all danes knew were they were at the moment, like the day Germans capitulated in Denmark or the day Denmark was occupied by the Germans....... its just one of the big events that defines the country. btw. I love that Miranda is calling the beautifull game for Football as it should :)

Was in my little hometown when they won. Summer and draft beer .. saw it on a tiny television in a garden with friends. The semi final though against Holland... saw it in Aalborg and was in Jomfru Ane Gade later on.. biggest party I've been to :)

I was on a night train in Germany during that match. We decided to do our vacation then, since it did not cross our minds we would be in the final. I heard the match on Gernan Radio...but not understanding much..I thought Germany made a goal rather than Denmark. That summer we spent in Germany, Switzerland and France. While we missed the action on Rådhuspladsen...we enjoyed the congratulations from our fellow Europeans wherever we went... including Germans.

I was 22 i 1992 and I was on the Roskilde festival when we won ! It was magic!

Peter Schmeichel is not JUST Kaspers dad, he is also renowned as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time!

Kudos to you guys for watching it with Danish subtitles 👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻 Also.. No klaphat?! 😱

When is was in school from 74 to 83 my class was in charge of the school fruit stand for a couple of years. Among the thing we sold was the lakridsrod. It was very popular then too. Don't chew it immediately. Let the spit soak the root and the chew on it and then swallow the juice. 😁😁😁 In 92 in went in to Rådhuspladsen after the match. I have never seen so many broken beer bottles. But the crowd was so happy and there was a great ambiance. One of my best memories 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰⚽⚽⚽

Now I’m really pumped about EM. Thank you for that. I think we lucked out drawing Finland, Belgium and Russia. I have a good feeling about this championship.

You guys are really cool, enjoyed watching the video. Jeg ser frem til at se flere!

During the finale the streets were deserted - within minutes after the final result everybody went there and every town became one great party. We had scenes not seen since the BBC announced the German troops in Denmark had surrendered in 1945.

Very old school with the roots ☺ Funny episode 👍

Saw it in the cinema when it came out and I kid you NOT when I say that we (movie goers) forgot that we knew it wasn't actually a soccer match. So we cheered on our team as if we were there watching it live 🤣🤣🤣

It really is a surprisingly good sports movie, imo. Even with the weird shifts between the movie and real clips.

Enjoying your channel, and nice to get your pointers and views on Danish culture. I didn’t even know that my home islands where in the same group as Denmark in qualifying matches for EM 92. I got that info from the great movie “Sommeren 92” As Danes have the Sommeren 92, we have Landskrona. 1-0 against Austria.

My brother Kevin loved this movie. He gives it a sweltering 92/100

Nice bite of the stick Maya, as always priceless face you put on. So funny, but video as a hole, Great!

Thanks for a great vid as always. This topic is so dear to our hearts. Can I recommend another movie? Watch "Og det var Danmark...", a great and fun documentary from 2008 about the identity of Danish football, which also culminates with the 92 euro win. It is probably the first Danish documentary to become a box office smash. And it gives you the full idea of what football means to Danish people, and in a quirky and fun way describes the Danish identity in full. 😊😊

That was actually the last time I watched a football game. Sports is just really not my thing. That reaction had me in stitches. I've chewed a lot of those roots over the years. Tastes great.

Try it on Tuesday, AKA "Watch Maya die inside"😄

They usually replay the match around the date of the match (26th of June).. So maybe you can be lucky to watch it :)

Ha ha ha....you guys are just so great.

Late 80's kid here, and I love licorice root! It was a great treat to get as a kid and I still love them as an adult. They're just a little harder to come by these days :D

I like the video for you guys because thats a lot of popcorn on the floor😅😂

Yes, that summer WAS special. For me it even had some extra dimensions. First of all, the summer started very early and lasted ten weeks straight, except for a single day of showers in June. I remember the first hot day very much: The 13th May was just a typical late spring day, around 20 Centigrade but dry. The 14th May, however, was completely different. I had to (well, chose to) cycle from Copenhagen to Odense for my grandmother's 87th birthday the next day. When I took off it was almost 30 Centigrade, and after the 110 + 25 Km due west, the left side of my body was toast. A few days later I cycled back home in the still hot weather, getting my oteher side toasted just as much. Then I stayed home for a couple of weeks, preparring for my exams, taking an occasional ride to oxidize my brain, On one of those rides I stopped over at the Bellevue beach, striped of my cycling clothes except for the bib-shorts (which looked like an old-fashinoned bathing suit for men due to the suspenders) and dove in. That must have been a sight. At the beginning of June I biked back to Fyn, this time for my father's birthday, then went back to do my exams and then biked back to Fyn once more on the way to Silkeborg to do a summer course in freshwater biology and happened to watch Denmark winning the final. On the way to Silkeborg I visited the two small Danish islands Samsø and Tunø, and after the freshwater course I went back to Fyn to take care of my father's house while he was on a camping trip. Then I went back home a week later and then headed for Poland (no bike this time), and Latvia for three weeks, still on 35+ Centigrade temps. Only on the very last day in Poland on the way back home the weather had changed to 15 Centigrade and rain. That summer WAS magic. First there was the "No" to the European Union despite all the recommandations from the politicians. Then there was the smashing good weather for so long time which is quite rare so close to the Atlantic Ocean, and then there was the European Soccer Championship against all odds for an unprepared team that got in on a cancellation, even under a coach that was considered to be outright incompetent. That summer everything clicked, and luckily I was there to experience it. I'm not a soccer fan (cycling is my sport). But of course I had to watch this historic event, and of course I celebrated like everybody else.

Jeg elsker lakridsrod. Jeg spiste dem hele tiden i min skoletid i 90'erne. En pind vil holde en halv dag. 🤤

Í don't even like football - but 92 was something... We were on our way to camp out in the Swedish wilderness by some beautiful lake - but for that one evening we went to a commercial camping site because we needed to be somewhere with a television!

Next up is using it to stir a gin tonic, then let it rest while drinking it, to give it that liquorice flavor

Born in Germany living in Denmark I always get, who was your team? So back in 92 i went to the cinema and then walked to the city hall, more because i knew people would ask me what i think than out of interest. But wow am i glad i did, what an evening. Since Ive been to a couple of Euro and World Cups, among others Ice hockey. The feeling of the stadium and being there for your country just is amazing

i remember it as when it was only 29 years ago. was fun times.

I ate a lot of them as a kid as it was cheap and not filled with sugar. I didn’t bite into it but just chewed it. It induces saliva that dissolved the taste of the stick. And saying stick makes it funnier than licorice 😃😃😃

You can see a lot of the Best danish football matches on KZfaq

“Forget American football. We want real football”... Yeeeeessss⚽️🇩🇰⚽️🇩🇰⚽️🇩🇰

Green price tag against red scarf. Nice color combination 👍

Funny fact: In 92 in the semifinals agains Holland went into penalty kicks one of the kickers for the Dutch team was Ronald Koeman who at that time played for Barcelona and today he is coach for them.

Remember that time, was on a buss holiday to Italy and was driving through The countries when won. Ohh my the big FU finger sign in the back of the buss got some honking

Lol. That was fun. I enjoy your videos a lot. :-) We need another football video...Things are heating up about EURO20 . :-)

Two years late to the party, I know! But I chewed lakridsrod A LOT when I was a kid - I loved it 😊

You got too chew on it! LOL

Looking at you quys eating liquorice it the funniest, I absolutely love liquorice root. But I guess it is an acquired taste.

I LOVE this!!! :D

I just love this taste it on a tuesday its hilarious to watch you chewing lakridsrod :-)))))))))))

Its great you have visited Sønderborg, its and Dybbøl Mølle - the danes fought against a really strong army from Preussia, and lost trying to defend our land, and the constituion called grundloven, which was made around 15 years before, and was the start of how Denmark is developed into today. If I may, I will suggest you to visit Skagen, the most northern city in Jylland, and watch the sunset up there, its a very good almost spiritual experience, and somehow the ligth up there is breathtaking.

I was 18 at the time. And after we won, we went and got my dad who was watching it at a friends house. Back then most of my dads buisness were with Germany, and when we got there he was calling all his business contacts teasing them relentlesly .When we got to town everybody was partying up a storm and we joined in. I remember getting apocalyptically drunk and kissing more girls than I have ever done. I think that it was the first time I had a 2 day hangover.

Very cool. But the wildest scenes were the celebrations when the team returned. Only the people who had been around when WW2 ended had ever seen something similar.

I'm one of the lucky ones, who managed to get tickets for one of the Euro group matches in Parken. Obviously we didn't know if we actually got to go, and I know lots of people got their tickets cancelled because of capacity restrictions, but I finally got the confirmation from UEFA about a week ago that my tickets to Denmark-Finland are still valid. It probably won't be as crazy as it was back in 1992 (still jealous of my brother, who actually was there in the stadium for both Denmark's semifinal and final), but right now I'm just happy to be going at all.

If you liked Summer of 92 then you should definitely see the documentary "og det var danmark" It's a must see.

U guys are the best 😂😂😂

The semi final vs the Dutch is the BEST game i have EVER seen (because of the emotions) So if you wanna see only a single match from the 92 playoffs, watch that

I am so happy to see that you found the right community! There is still no dislikes on this video 😅

I worked at the German/Dutch border, and all the dutch en came to my office to watch the final game 💪 When we won I went to the German customs DANCING and singing " OG DET VAR DANMARK" The chef by the Germancostums came out of his office to congratulate me 😂 My father called me at work shouting DID YOU SEE IT!!!! We had a German apprentice and I copyed the danish flag 100 times and spread it all over the officefloor 🇩🇰

Just to make one of you jealous. My friend is the club house manager for the nationals 😉 I'll have to check and see if I can't get you something special.

The summer of '92, is like the Kennedy assasination. Everyone know where they were, and what they did. I was 14 years old, went downtown. entered a bar, ordered a beer, no one cared about age that evening.

I was at work at Lyngby Station Kiosk during the final (had it as a study job), when we closed at 22, I went to Rådhuspladsen, it was crazy, people everywhere. The McDonalds visit is real, so is the minigolf, and it has since then been a theme on later tournaments, not doing it, but remembering to 'decompress' during tournament. The licorice root, I've never understood, but you should not bite it, just chew it :-)

Just a quick suggestion: Do a video on the chants that are used on the station: - "Vi er røde vi er hvide - vi står sammen sid' om side" - "Sejler op af åen og vi sejler nedad igen" - "1 - 2 - 3; Schemeichel er en mur" Etc etc, Ps. Love your video's og channel - Big thumbs up :-)

I have heard that people tell foreigners to watch the 24 part series "Matador" which takes place in the 1930's to 1940s I think. My GF's cousin's polish wife loved in. It's from the 80's and can be bought on DVD and maybe even blu-ray.

Did I sleep in class or have you tried regular "heksehyl" yet? Its the best lakrids candy ever, if you dislike those then you can cancel them all there after.

My generations 4th of may 1945. Of course it was the end of WWII but it was the closest we could get in our time. People everywhere and such a nice evening. Just celebration and talking to People you didn't know

This stick tastes kind of interesting 🤣🤣

Yeah. The best thing about the movie is that it’s totally based on what happened that summer. McD, mini golf, wife on their room prior to final did happen. it is almost a self-written script. Sadly that means that it was also true that RMN never get the fame he deserved for his hard work until very late in his life. A monument can be seen in front of Odense Stadion, and the main tribune are named after him, for his glory days in OB and winning EURO Cup.

You can find the matches on youtube

Yeah Sommeren 92 is a good film Usually don't like sports movies but this is a important part of the football history in this country

We grew up with the Licorice root back in the 70's and 8o's. You could get them for next to nothing and most of us loved them !! Right Miranda !! You only chew on them, not bite or digest them 😁!

I’ve never watched the movie so it’s on my list. I’ve watched 2 national games in person in my life and that was the semifinal and final in Gothenburg Euro’ 92🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Lakridsrod is the root of the plant Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and do not grow naturally in Europe, but is a medicinal plant imported all the way back before the viking age. Normally you just chew on the root, after your saliva enzymes breaks down the active ingredients. If you swallov it before the reaction, it is not effective. It takes a few minutes, and the taste of bark will vanish. Licorice effects the Mucous membranes, and helps with opening the nose and throath when you have an infection. It is also quite laxative, especcially if you swallow parts of the root...I learned that lesson several times as a child before I wised up. I guess it became more popular in scandinavia in modern times, because of the many stuffed noses and bad throaths we have in this climate. When someone realized that ammonium chloride (salmiak) had a similar effect and boosted the effects of licorize, our tradition with salty salmiak lakrids was born. The salt was added to help with dehydration, and as a traditional cough sirup, it is quite effective. I was watching the finale in '92 in what was called Grøn Scene on the Roskilde Festival. Just after we went to Orange Scene and watched Nirvana. Only the germans were grunging, everybody else was singing happy songs over the Cobain misery. We left before the concert ended, and took a taxi alle the way back to Copenhagen to party alle the night in front of City Hall, and we just stayed on the inner city streets with our backpacks for the next three days partying. I love your interest and dedication to learn about the culture youre now living in, and your videos has made many of my days better. Hope to catch you on the streets someday, and welcome you in person. Stay happy, healthy and Young.

@DBUTV can we please get this family some tickets to a national team match..

You should try a Brøndby Match at Brøndby stadium, the fans go all out...
