We're back. As we bridge the gap between the drama of Italia '90 to the glitz of USA '94, we bring you the story of the 1992 European Championships from Sweden.

One of the iconic games of Italia ’90 is the focus of today’s show as we look back at West Germany and England in the World Cup semi final.  Joining us on the show is two time English World Cup star Trevor Steven who was involved in Turin on a night that saw his side fight back and push the favourites to the brink.  If that’s not enough, our guest on the match re-watch is Miguel Delaney...

The semi finals are here and Argentina were supposed to go quietly into the Neapolitan night to make way for the hosts and their date with destiny. They didn’t.  Joining us for today’s is Argentinian journalist Marcela Mora Y Araujo who paints a picture of how Argentina remembers the World Cup and this game and discuss the relationship between Maradona and Naples that was about to come to an...

The quarter finals conclude with two dramatic games for different reasons. West Germany march on and put an end to Czechoslovakia's fairytale run while Cameroon and England play out the highest scoring game of the knockout stages with Bobby Robson's side edging a 3-2 thriller.  Our guests on today's show were both in Italy in 1990, Lubo Moravcik was on the field playing a key role in that Cze...

Ireland take on Italy in the World Cup Quarter Final in Rome and we mark the day with a busy show. Our main guest is Eamon Dunphy, marginalised for his views in 1990 but through the prism of 30 years later, he certainly looks to have been harshly received in all quarters from the taxi ranks of Dublin to the press conferences of Palermo. He speaks to us about his Italia '90 memories and the legacy...

The final day of the Round of 16 saw Yugoslavia and England find another gear in extra time, Yugoslavia through Dragan Stojković's brilliant free kick to go with his first half contender for goal of the tournament, David Platt meanwhile got on the end of a wonderful Paul Gascoigne free kick to beat Belgium in the last minute.  Our guest on the show today is Second Captain's Ciaran Murphy who...

A stunning day at the World Cup. Two fierce derbies that promised fireworks on paper and delivered them to such a degree that 30 years later, we’re still learning new bits about each of the games.  Brazil’s World Cup came to a shuddering halt after just four games, they haven't missed a quarter final since and it was the first World Cup where they lost to Argentina after three previous World...
