Sometimes the footballing Gods treat us to a script that not even the best Hollywood writer could think of.
As the field in Korea and Japan was whittled down to the final eight, everyone thought there had been enough chaos and magic. They were in for a few final treats. On this episode we wrap up our journey to the far east by covering the final 8 matches of the most magical tournament of the decade.
There is talk of a titanic encounter between Brazil and England, more golden goal drama and robotic German efficiency. Above all else though, this is a tale of one of the greatest comebacks in football history. Enter stage right, Nazario Da Lima, also known as Ronaldo Fenomeno.
All of this and much more, including mentions of a bald accountant from Bologna, corruption by Hyundai and a Turkish figure skater, on this episode of Football In The 2000s!
