And that did make it feel slightly different. voice-verified

Although, as we're going to come to, it served up plenty of memorable moments, too. voice-verified

okay let's kick off we're going to go back to 1986 as mentioned um will mentioned controversy a minute ago uh ollie you're going to kick us off with um diego maradona who yeah had a bit of controversy in 1986 but also quite a bit of brilliance as well voice-verified

I mean, it was an incredibly clever handball, wasn't it? voice-verified

Yeah, and I think it shaped how people saw World Cups for a long time, didn't it? voice-verified

I remember 1990 is the first one I remember properly and everyone was kind of waiting for who's going to dominate this World Cup the way Maradona did the last one. voice-verified

But yeah, as you say, he only really won one more tournament because he missed Euro 92 as well. voice-verified

And England didn't qualify for the 94 World Cup. voice-verified

Jack, I'm sure you remember Gaza and Gazamania. voice-verified
