The glory and the failure of a brilliant Netherlands in 1974
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
The Netherlands in 1974 is the story of Rinus Michels&#39; beautiful but ultimately heartbreaking World Cup campaign. With Johan Cruyff inspiring a side dripping with talent, boasting a style of play that bewitched the world, the Netherlands would come so close yet agonisingly so far from etching their name into history as perhaps the greatest world champions of all.

Do you think that politic and finance influencing the World Cup is a new thing? In the first episode of Political Football: World Cup, we talk to Paul Mc Parlan about how the whole show got underway in 1930. Who promoted the idea and why did we need a global tournament? What came of the inaugural event in Uruguay and how was the game forever changed?

Abraham Klein is a man who had the best view of some of football&#39;s greatest fixtures. Refereeing at three World Cups, and withdrawing from the 1974 finals based on security grounds, Klein was in the middle for Brazil-England in 1970, Italy-Argentina in 1978 and perhaps the greatest World Cup game in history, Brazil-Italy in 1982. The Israeli shares his memories and opinions from Gentile to Bank...

<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
While Euro 1980 has long since faded to black, it was the first of the new tournament formats as West Germany, fired on by Klaus Allofs, triumphed over Belgium. Then, in 1984, the greatest individual showing at the finals, courtesy of Michel Platini&#39;s scarcely believable nine goals, would send a superb France team to their maiden international honour.

Hungary&#39;s Magical Magyars of the 1950s are one of the iconic sides in the history of world football. Their scintillating play took them to a World Cup final and a long unbeaten run, plus that infamous demolition of English superiority in 1953. Back at home, though, Hungary was anything but a happy place. Author and long-time Hungarian resident David Bailey guides us through the backdrop to thos...

We talk to Justin Walley, the president of CONIFA Africa and member of the organisation&#39;s Executive Committee, about the work they carry out and how the inevitable and often compromising tentacles of politics is something they seek to avoid. Following discussions about FIFA and some of their confederations in recent months, how is CONIFA different and what can they do to shape football&#39;s future?

More important than work, food and sleep, there is a generation of football watchers who straddle two different eras of the game - and they sometimes struggle to quantify their love. They cling to an era when the game hooked them, yet despair where it is today. It is within this ...

Unsurprisingly, this is having an effect on football and how the game is both perceived and being used. What ar...

The Lob speaks to Tom Scholes who tells that story in his book Stateside Soccer.

<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">
ITV and BT Sport commentator Seb Hutchinson recalls how a team boasting Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Rhian Brewster went to India and inspired a nation by lifting the Under-17 World Cup.

In the Basque city of Bilbao, supporting Athletic is less a sporting affiliation than an act of faith. Their policy of Basque-only players is a badge of honour, one that has cemented the club in the affections of the proud locals. Talking about Athletic without involving the politics of the region is a forlorn task, so we enlisted the help of Dan Parry, who&#39;s lived and taught in Bilbao for years.

It has also provided an arena where reconciliation, as well as rancour, can be displayed. Ben Roberts discusses his wonderfully empathetic book, Gunshots and Goalposts...
