In another World Cup throwback as the build up to Qatar 2022 continues, John B and Krys are joined by Matt Evans, author of USA 94: The World Cup That Changed The Game.
Matt explains his thinking behind the structure of the book, which covers off a number of story threads from the behind the scenes structuring journey of the American hosts to the team themselves, through the various nations involved including the shocks scoreline and the shock headlines.
The guys chat through qualification for the World Cup, the last one not to feature any of the home nations for various reasons, and some of the key moments that took place even before the tournament - hi Diana Ross!
They discuss some important goals scored in key games across the group stages and into the knockouts, and talk about how all the big players seemed to turn up at just the right time in the big games. Right up until that final moment of course.
Finally there's a look forward to the upcoming World Cup and a discussion on how the tournament might go for many teams, including Matt's home country of Wales who are playing in their first World Cup in 64 years.
Thanks to Matt for coming on, and be sure to check out his book on the link above or in all good bookshops.
