This is nuts. Yeah, this is borderline psychotic. It's only going to just increase on the shock. Most unbelievable. This guy's the greatest villain of all time. There's a lot going on.
Can't keep up.
Stories to ever occur. I'm learning a lot today. Hold on to your hands because we're just getting started. In the world of sport. That's the worst script I've ever heard. Well, it's not over. Oh, hello. I've gone too early.

How did the Valdivia earthquake impact the World Cup preparations in Chile?
Tells a member of the media to suck it and keep on sucking it. Rube joined a local circus and was learning the art of swallowing live snakes. Threw the ball down, mounted his horse and rode away and never played again.
It's time for the leaders of the hunt. Get the whiteboard out or I refuse to go any further. It's Titus O'Reilly and Mick Molloy.
Yes, welcome everybody to another Sports Bazaar. I'm Titus O'Reilly and joining me today is Adam Rosenbach. He's off the bench. Mate, I'm up from the minor leagues. I'm in the big leagues. This is unbelievable. You are. Mick's away at the moment.
My debut, I've got to bring my dad.
Yeah, I know.
And now I've got to explain what a podcast is and then what radio station does he tune into it on. It's going to be a long episode.
Mick's couldn't do today, so we've got you off the bench. But one of the reasons I've also got you off the bench is this is a story you saw something and said, oh, is there anything in this? And I've gone down the rabbit hole and found there is a lot in this. Okay. Today's episode, and the World Cup's on at the moment, we're in the thick of it, we're recording this before the Socceroos' second game, but by the time this goes out, that'll be played, so fingers crossed. With the World Cup going on, this is a World Cup story, we've got our history of FIFA running at the moment as well, so there's lots of stuff going on. This one today, it's called the Battle of Santiago.
I thought you were going to run through all the people who run the FIFA World Peace Award. Oh, yeah. That's a long list.
We're going to, on our FIFA history, we're going to add on, because we're doing the history back to when FIFA started, but we're going to add on some stuff about the current president of FIFA. He's making Sepp Blatter look lovable.
What led to the intense rivalry between Chile and Italy during the World Cup?
Yeah, isn't he? It's unbelievable. If you'd ever said that to me, I wouldn't have believed you, but he does. So we're going to 1962 World Cup. So we're going right back. This was almost a World Cup that almost ended forever. Oh, okay. So a lot going on. So the 1962 World Cup, we'd come out of World War II. They'd re-established a few World Cups again, got it back up and running after World War II. and it had proven to be popular, starting to grow again. Nothing like it is today, but, you know, going okay.
Were the USSR involved, considering the Cold War was kind of just getting into its really heyday at this point?
Off and on a lot, yeah. So there's a real, I mean, the amount of teams in this were nowhere near what you would have gotten in, or we're talking on a broad period, but there was early ones, I think, where, you know, England and they didn't even go.
So, you know, there was really different ones. And obviously early 60s, it would have been a huge groundswell of support for the German team in South America around that time. We've got a lot more German supporters. What's going on there?
There's a lot of Germans supporting Argentina to this World Cup.
