100 Greatest World Cup Moments of All Time! (11x2)

Uitzenddatum: Jun 13, 2010

With excitement reaching fever pitch as the latest England squad makes its bid to end more than four decades of hurt, this programme counts down the 100 Greatest Moments in the competition's illustrious 80-year history. Across three hours, the audience will re-live all the great emotions of the sport at its pinnacle, with expert insights and recollections from players, managers, writers and celebrity fans. There's everything from despair, as England fail to beat Germany on penalties in 1990, to unbridled ecstasy as England lift the World Cup in 1966. Amazing goals, last-ditch tackles, gravity defying saves and comedy misjudgements rub shoulders with invading dogs, superlative ball control, Mexican Waves and small Argentineans taking on the entire opposing team to write new football legends. Comedian and avid football fan Bob Mortimer is the host for this epic night of evocative sporting memories, which includes great moments from the last tournament in 2006.
