After helping England reach the knockout stages in 2022, Kane scored against Senegal and prepared to face reigning champions France in a huge quarter-final. Then came a moment every football fan remembers. A penalty. A chance to equalise. A shot over the crossbar. England were out, and Kane was left heartbroken beneath the floodlights. But the greatest footballers are not defined by the moments when they fall. They are defined by the way they stand up again. From his move to Bayern Munich to another chance to lead England on football's biggest stage, this is a story about goals, pressure, bravery and refusing to give up on a dream.

Newly appointed captain Harry Kane scored twice against Tunisia in a stadium filled with buzzing midges, completed a hat-trick during England's huge victory over Panama and kept his cool during a dramatic penalty shootout against Colombia. There were last-minute goals, enormous pressure, inflatable unicorns and a famous night when England finally won a World Cup penalty shootout for the very first time. England's adventure ended with semi-final heartbreak against Croatia, but Kane finished the tournament with six goals and the Golden Boot. The captain had arrived on football's biggest stage. But his World Cup journey was only just beginning.

In Russia, Neymar scored against Costa Rica and Mexico before Brazil's dream was ended by Belgium. Four years later, he returned in Qatar with another chance to lead his country to glory. After battling back from an ankle injury, Neymar scored a brilliant extra-time goal against Croatia and drew level with Pelé's officially recognised Brazil goals tally at the time. But another dramatic penalty shootout ended in tears. Now, after returning to Santos, could Neymar still have one final World Cup chapter left to write? Goals. Magic. Pain. Pressure. And one enormous dream that refuses to disappear.

In this special Football For Kids episode, we follow the Argentina legend from his very first World Cup appearance as an 18-year-old wonderkid in Germany in 2006, all the way to the dramatic road towards Russia 2018. Discover how Messi scored a goal and created another on his World Cup debut, why he could only watch from the bench as Argentina were knocked out by Germany, and how he returned four years later as one of the most famous footballers on the planet. We explore the buzzing vuvuzelas of South Africa 2010, the crushing defeat to Germany, and Messi's magical performances in Brazil in 2014, where Argentina came agonisingly close to lifting the trophy. There are dramatic late goals, penalty shootouts, heartbreak and a brilliant hat-trick in Ecuador that helped rescue Argentina's World Cup dream. This is Lionel Messi's World Cup story: Part 1.

In this Football For Kids Classic episode, Darren Rees looks back on one of the wildest Premier League seasons ever, full of champions, shocks, relegation drama, record breakers and emotional goodbyes. Arsenal are Premier League champions again after 22 long years! We look at how Mikel Arteta's side finally brought the title back to North London, with David Raya winning the Golden Glove, Viktor Gyökeres scoring important goals, and Arsenal turning corners into their secret football superpower. But while Arsenal celebrated, other clubs suffered heartbreak. West Ham United were relegated despite beating Leeds United on the final day, Burnley dropped straight back down, and Wolves finished bottom after a miserable season. Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, survived by the skin of their teeth after a nerve-shredding final-day win over Everton. We also explore the players who made Premier League history: Erling Haaland winning another Golden Boot, Bruno Fernandes breaking the single-season assist record, and Fulham vs Manchester City producing a bonkers nine-goal thriller at Craven Cottage. And then come the goodbyes. Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City after 10 incredible years. Bernardo Silva says farewell. Mohamed Salah waves goodbye to Liverpool after becoming one of Anfield's greatest ever heroes. This is a fun screen-free football podcast episode for kids, parents and Premier League fans of all ages. Joy, heartbreak, goals, drama, trophies, trapdoors and goosebumps.
