En juin 1986, la Belgique a vécu l'une des aventures sportives et musicales les plus marquantes de son histoire lors de la Coupe du Monde au Mexique. Ce podcast raconté par Brice Depasse retrace les coulisses de cette "belle et terrible aventure" où, pour la première fois, les Diables Rouges atteignaient la petite finale du mondial.La genèse d'un tube : d'Anderlecht au Mexique Tout commence un an plus tôt avec une collaboration entre le producteur hollandais Hans Custers et le Grand Jojo, supporter emblématique d'Anderlecht. Custers propose au chanteur de créer un hymne pour le club bruxellois, inspiré des chants de supporters néerlandais. Le résultat est "Anderlecht Champion", un succès immédiat dont le refrain scandé fait vibrer les tribunes du stade Constant Vanden Stock.Lorsque la Belgique se qualifie "par un trou de souris" pour le Mondial 86 après un match de barrage épique contre la Hollande, l'idée germe d'adapter ce succès pour l'équipe nationale. Le célèbre "Allez, allez, allez" devient "Olé, olé, olé" pour coller à l'ambiance mexicaine. Anecdote savoureuse : le rythme entraînant de la chanson aurait été inspiré par celui d'une machine à laver en marche, écouté par les deux amis dans une buanderie.Un tournoi héroïque et des ventes records Le début de la compétition au Mexique est laborieux. Après une défaite contre le pays hôte et des résultats mitigés, la Belgique se qualifie de justesse pour le second tour en tant que "meilleur troisième". C'est alors que l'incroyable se produit. Le 15 juin 1986, lors d'un huitième de finale d'anthologie contre l'URSS, les Diables s'imposent 4-3 après prolongations dans un suspense insoutenable.Ce miracle sportif déclenche une véritable hystérie en Belgique. Dès le lendemain, les disquaires sont pris d'assaut pour acheter le single du Grand Jojo ; les usines de pressage doivent travailler jour et nuit pour répondre à la demande sans précédent. La ferveur s'accentue après le quart de finale contre l'Espagne. Dans la chaleur de Puebla, après un match fermé, la Belgique l'emporte aux tirs au but grâce à un arrêt décisif de Jean-Marie Pfaff et au tir final de Leo Van der Elst.Une apothéose historique Bien que stoppés en demi-finale par l'Argentine de Maradona (2-0), les Diables rentrent au pays la tête haute. Le 30 juin, plus de 100 000 personnes accueillent l'équipe entre Zaventem et la Grand-Place de Bruxelles. Le Grand Jojo, présent au balcon aux côtés des joueurs et reçu par le roi Baudouin, reçoit une ovation historique.Le succès de "E Viva Mexico" dépasse alors largement les frontières belges. Le refrain "Olé, olé, olé" entre dans le domaine public, repris par des supporters du monde entier et même par les Rolling Stones lors de leurs tournées.L'héritage d'une année dorée L'année 1986 restera comme celle où la Belgique a changé de dimension, portée par cette épopée sportive, mais aussi par sa victoire à l'Eurovision. Le Grand Jojo, avec son don pour croquer des personnages populaires en quelques lignes, est célébré comme un auteur dont la plume, souvent sous-estimée, a su capturer l'âme d'un pays qui, pour la première fois, se regardait avec fierté.

Ci siamo, sta per cominciare la 23esima edizione del campionato del mondo di calcio. E questa sarà davvero un'edizione da record: la più imponente nella storia della Coppa del Mondo cominciata nel lontano 1930 in Uruguay.

Wenn heute Gastgeber Mexiko zusammen mit Südafrika die Fußball-WM eröffnet, passiert das an einem geschichtsträchtigen Ort: im Aztekenstadion. Das "Stadion mit Seele" gilt als legendär. Maradona, Pelé, Beckenbauer – sie wissen, warum.**********In dieser Folge mit: Moderator: Markus Dichmann Gesprächspartnerin: Ann-Kathrin Rose, ARD-Sport**********Ihr könnt uns auch auf diesen Kanälen folgen: TikTok und Instagram .

Una de las selecciones favoritas para ganar la Copa Mundial de Fútbol 2026 es Argentina, actual campeón y poseedor de tres títulos. Para desentrañar qué es lo que hace que el país de Di Stéfano, Maradona, Messi sea una potencia productora, no solo de jugadores, sino también de directores técnicos de primer nivel, nuestro corresponsal en Argentina visitó clubes y academias de Buenos Aires y Rosario, donde habló con formadores, técnicos, captadores y aspirantes a jugadores que sueñan con jugar en las grandes ligas. Argentina es una máquina de producir jugadores de clase mundial no solo para su selección nacional, sino para los mejores equipos del mundo, entre otros, los que compiten en la Champions League europea. Argentina también es una productora de directores técnicos de enorme nivel: seis selecciones son dirigidas por argentinos en este Mundial. El Club Parque, en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, es un histórico semillero de grandes jugadores de fútbol. En la entrada, un cartel dice que el club es "cuna de cracks". En sus paredes están colgadas las camisetas de futbolistas notables que se formaron ahí. "Estos son muchos de los chicos que salieron del club. Bueno, ahí está la mía, La Paglia", dice César La Paglia, director deportivo del Club Parque. La Paglia tuvo una carrera exitosa como futbolista en Argentina y Europa, además de jugar en juveniles de la selección albiceleste. Mientras hablamos, los chicos están practicando baby fútbol, una versión del deporte que se juega en canchas más pequeñas; y que favorece el control, la gambeta corta, la velocidad mental y la creatividad bajo presión. Eso contribuye al desarrollo de jugadores rápidos, pícaros y habilidosos. Todo empieza con el "baby foot"  Para La Paglia, el “baby fútbol” permite trabajar muy bien los fundamentos del deporte. "A ver, lo más importante en el baby fútbol siempre es el pase, se trabaja mucho lo que es el control y el pase, y después se trabaja con conos, lo que es la técnica, se usa mucho la pisada en el baby fútbol, pisar para un lado, pisar para el otro". “Buen jugador se nace”, cree La Paglia, pero la formación es clave. Y esta etapa es fundamental. "En el desarrollo de un jugador de fútbol, futuro jugador de fútbol, esta es para mí la instancia que los chicos más incorporan, es el 'infanto juvenil' digamos, es el preescolar o el jardín de infantes de los chicos del fútbol, donde desarrollan toda la parte técnica, si bien el chico naturalmente ya viene con la técnica, pero acá se le mejora mucho". "Gracias a los profes juego así" Nahuel Díaz tiene diez años, juega desde los tres, y tiene claro qué es lo que aprende aquí. "Aprendí muchas cosas: control del balón, pegarle fuerte al arco, empeine, y también zig zag. Todo eso me lo enseñaron los profes. Gracias a los profes puedo jugar así". La dedicación al deporte no es solo de los niños, es también un compromiso para toda la familia. Así lo explica Cristian Díaz, papá de Nahuel. "Hay toda una logística importante a nivel familiar, tanto los horarios de colegio, salida de las corridas, venir acá, o ir al otro club. Incluso los sábados hay que compaginar también con mi trabajo. Mi señora también trabaja. Es todo un tema de cuadrar los horarios para llegar a cumplir con los entrenamiento y los partidos.   Cristian dice que se cuida mucho de no generar una presión excesiva sobre su hijo, algo que ocurre en algunos casos. Es que para los chicos y sus familias el fútbol puede ser una vía de ascenso social y prestigio, lo que aumenta la presión sobre ellos, pero explica asimismo el número creciente de jugadores que intentan profesionalizarse. Rosario, "ciudad-cantera" de cracks Rosario, situada a 300 kilómetros al norte de la ciudad de Buenos Aires,  es, con relación a su cantidad de habitantes, la principal cantera de grandes jugadores de Argentina. En su costanera, un cartel asegura que esta es la Capital Mundial del Fútbol. Aquí nació Lionel Messi y la ciudad lo recuerda con murales en varios edificios. Uno de ellos, que muestra a un Messi de niño, vigila desde un edificio las instalaciones del modesto club de barrio en el que dio sus primeros pasos en el fútbol. Abanderado Grandoli, con sus colores naranja y blanco, y su cancha de césped amarronado por el otoño, recibe a niños que disputan una fecha del torneo local. Leandro Zavala mira uno de los partidos, es profesor de los chicos de la categoría 2018, y cuenta qué implica que Messi haya jugado aquí. "Es un orgullo de que sus primeros pasos hayan sido acá. Esto es algo que uno le transmite también a los chicos, a mí que me tocó arrancar con los de 2018, se los transmito para que ellos lo sepan, para que sepan qué escudo están defendiendo, qué colores, para que recuerden que el mejor del mundo pasó por acá, estuvo en esta misma cancha". Leandro es también papá de Benjamín, de 10 años, quien sueña con una carrera en el fútbol. "Me gustaría mucho jugar profesionalmente, me encantaría. Es uno de mis sueños. Me gustaría mucho jugar en Europa, algún equipo de Europa como Barcelona, Real Madrid. Y en la selección argentina, obviamente". Leer tambiénColombia, cuna de talentos futbolísticos para los clubes europeos y el Mundial A diferencia de otros países en los que el fútbol infantil es puramente recreativo, en Argentina los niños juegan en torneos competitivos. Los chicos como Benjamín se toman muy en serio el fútbol. "No me gusta faltar al entrenamiento mucho porque pierdo el rendimiento. Y es demasiado feo cuando perdés el rendimiento o cuando te enfermás", dice Benjamín. El amor por el fútbol atraviesa todo aquí. Esa obsesión que hay en Rosario con el deporte, el jugar en todos lados, todo el tiempo, explica también por qué tantos grandes futbolistas emergen de esta ciudad-cantera. Así lo explica Leandro Zavala: "Vivimos jugando al fútbol en cualquier parte de la ciudad, en cualquier parte estamos jugando al fútbol. Vas al parque y ves chicos jugando al fútbol, ves grandes, a nivel nacional también es así, pero en Rosario se vive de otra manera". La formación en los cientos y cientos de clubes del país, el acompañamiento de las familias, el respirar fútbol día tras día, todo el tiempo, explican en parte por qué Argentina produce tantos grandes jugadores. Pero parece haber algo que los futbolistas argentinos traen casi desde la cuna. Jugar en potreros, la gran diferencia "Siempre me llamó la atención. Yo digo, acá pasa algo que no pasa en otros lugares. Entonces alguna respuesta tiene que haber", dice Sandra Rossi,  especializada en medicina del deporte. Ella trabaja en neurociencia aplicada al alto rendimiento en el club River Plate, de Buenos Aires, y tiene una posible respuesta a la pregunta de qué es eso que los jugadores argentinos parecen traer desde la cuna. "Cuando todas las cosas están previstas, cuando vos tenés rutinas, cuando todo está bien, cuando las canchas son impecables, hay poco desafío para el cerebro. Argentina es un país en el que exactamente nos pasa lo contrario. Nunca sabemos qué va a pasar mañana. Y los chicos, sobre todo los que llegan, los que se van acercando al fútbol profesional, por lo general vienen de lugares que son potreros. El potrero es para mí el primer laboratorio de neurociencia que existe, tiene las características de la imprevisibilidad. Son terrenos de tierra donde uno no sabe cómo va a picar la pelota. Entonces, ese chico a la fuerza tiene que desarrollar un control de su cuerpo mucho más fino que un chico que empieza a jugar al fútbol en una cancha que está perfecta. Considero que esa es una de las grandes ventajas de los argentinos". Esos son, justamente, los chicos que buscan los clubes como River Plate. "Nos acercamos a los chicos, tratamos de ponernos cerca de él, le preguntamos el nombre, de dónde sos, ¿siempre jugaste en esta posición? ¿No te animás a jugar en otra posición?", explica Luis Pereyra, director del área de captación en el interior del país de River. Su equipo de 28 personas viaja por todo el territorio argentino para detectar potenciales futuros cracks. Lo que él busca es muy preciso. "Nosotros tenemos que traer un chico al 60-65% de la técnica individual, un chico que con las dos piernas intente eludir un contrario para jugar. Ése es el primer punto. Esta camiseta es para tipos inteligentes. Segundo: el carácter. A ver cómo se enoja cuando le dan una patada, cuando se cae, cómo se manifiesta ante la adversidad". Los jugadores que encuentran Luis Pereyra y su equipo luego pasan a las manos de Gabriel Rodríguez, uno de los grandes gestores de la fábrica de futbolistas que es Argentina. Rodríguez es coordinador de las divisiones inferiores de River. Hace 27 años que se dedica a esto y sabe bien cómo desarrollar el talento que le traen los captadores. "Nosotros priorizamos mucho el tema de la técnica individual. Además de los trabajos esenciales que se hacen en cancha, que los hacen todas las instituciones, nosotros sí tenemos nuestros 45 o 50 minutos todos los días de un trabajo específico de técnica individualizada". Es un proceso que va puliendo a los jugadores, intentando acercarlos a su máximo potencial, y que los convierte muchas veces en atractivos para mercados internacionales, algo que también empuja el desarrollo de futbolistas de calidad. "Somos países en América que tenemos la necesidad de exportar constantemente jugadores para que también las arcas de las instituciones se puedan engrandecer", dice Gabriel Rodríguez. River Plate, exportador No. 1  River Plate es uno de los grandes equipos del país. Es el principal proveedor histórico de jugadores de la selección y el mayor exportador del fútbol argentino, aunque preferiría muchas veces que los cracks se queden con ellos, dice Andrés Ballotta, vicepresidente de River, sentado en una de las butacas del estadio del club. "A muchos de nosotros... no, a todos nosotros, nos gustaría disfrutar a nuestros jugadores muchísimo más, ¿no? Obviamente el mercado europeo, de sobra está decirlo, es un mercado económicamente muy superior al nuestro. Ese mercado ansía los jugadores de River. En los últimos 5 años hemos alcanzado ventas por más de 200 millones de dólares". Esas ventas dan un aire económico a los clubes y al fútbol local, además de ampliar las oportunidades de los futbolistas. Pero Argentina no sólo exporta jugadores, también es una fábrica de directores técnicos. Entrenadores, capacidad de adaptación  Tan es así, que en el Mundial 2026, cinco selecciones, además de la albiceleste, son dirigidas por técnicos argentinos. Es un récord histórico que tiene explicación. "Yo creo que el entrenador argentino se adapta muy fácilmente a cualquier cultura", dice Eduardo González, director de la Escuela de Técnicos del Club Parque, avalada por la Asociación de Técnicos de Fútbol Argentino."Generalmente el entrenador argentino tiene como esa llama que cree que puede solucionar los problemas o formar equipos muy competitivos, puede desarrollar buenos equipos y también puede adaptarse a equipos que, quién sabe, no tienen muy buenos jugadores, pero bueno va sacando y va puliendo, tiene ese ojo diferente como para salir airoso de una situación". A eso se suma que la abundancia de jugadores en una economía con dificultades como la la de la Argentina también lleva a un gran interés por la carrera de técnico. Muchos futbolistas que se retiran o dejan de jugar por una lesión siguen ese camino, como Carlos Morelli, que está participando de esta clase, jugó en inferiores de River y tuvo que dejar su carrera como futbolista.  "Mi sueño es volver a entrar en River y dirigir algunas categorías de lo más chicos", dice Morelli. Dándole indicaciones a los alumnos está Juan De Angelis, profesor de la escuela. De Angelis tiene 30 años de técnico y 19 en esta escuela. "Ahí va, paro y toco, paro y toco", dice a los muchachos. Según él, el éxito de los técnicos argentinos viene de la formación y de su capacidad para entregar resultados. "Por lo general, los técnicos argentinos tienen muy buena base. Han dirigido selecciones infantiles y juveniles, se preparan muy bien. Están capacitados y han logrado resultados importantes mediante el trabajo, el buen nivel de jugadores. Y eso les da la posibilidad de que, en lo laboral, les den equipos de selecciones para dirigir". El resultado de todos estos procesos formativos, tanto de jugadores como de técnicos, sobre la base de una cultura que vive y respira el deporte, sumado a la sofisticación que representa llegar a las ligas más competitivas del mundo, se vio reflejado en el triunfo albiceleste en el Mundial 2022. Y llena de expectativa a este país "locos por el fútbol" cuando faltan pocos días para el inicio del Mundial 2026.

We've got part 2* of the look back at Argentina's victorious campaign at Mexico 86.  Here we've got the early stages ofArgentina's journey. Maradona shows his class by assisting all three goals against the rough-housing South Koreans, then scoring a deft equaliser against Italy.  It's the result against Italy that slowly starts to win over the sceptics who felt that Argentina were heading for disaster.  Further wins follow over Bulgaria and Uruguay. Bilardo settles on a core of players who will carry Argentina through the competition – a contrast with the hectic chopping and changing of the previous three years.    *The original plan was to cover Argentina's Mexico 86 campaign in a single episode but there was so much material – especially for the England game – that I've split the campaign into two episodes.‘Por Una Cabeza' is from  https://www.classicals.de/gardel-por-una-cabezaAll other music is from the YouTube Audio Library X@MatthewOkot@WorldCupRamble Subscribe to World Cup Rambling on your podcast platform.

Miguel is joined by Alexander Aviña — associate professor of Latin American and Mexican history at Arizona State University and author of Specters of Revolution: Peasant Guerrillas in the Cold War Mexican Countryside — for a deep conversation where fútbol and imperialism collide. First, Alexander breaks down Mexico's World Cup-hosting history, linking the 1970 tournament to the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre and 1986 to the 1985 Mexico City earthquake and public jeering of PRI presidents, while noting protests during 1986 and Sócrates' solidarity gestures as Maradona worked his magic on the pitch. They compare those political tensions to the upcoming 2026 tournament. Alexander and Miguel also break down the younger, Liga MX and Euro club-heavy Selección Nacional Mexicana roster, what home-field advantage at Azteca could mean, and why FIFA's hyper capitalist grip on this tournament — from displaced vendors and street workers in Mexico City to $30,000 World Cup final tickets in the US — has both Miguel and Alexander feeling less excited about this World Cup than any before.Miguel and Alexander also dig into the CNN and New York Times reporting on CIA-linked assassination operations targeting cartel figures on Northern Mexican soil, asking whether the line between intelligence sharing and outright foreign intervention has already been crossed. They also break down Mexico's Ministry of Public Education, reversing its plan to end the school year early for the World Cup, the US State Department's announced review of all 53 Mexican consulates and the far-right conspiracy theory behind it, and the broader Trump administration push to install a right-wing political order across Latin America — from Venezuela to Cuba to Mexico.Lastly, Miguel and Alexander discuss the contradictions of being a politically conscious Fútbol fan: rooting hard for El Tri while critiquing the mega-event capitalist FIFA machine hosted in the imperial core.

“That kind of put soccer on my radar as a sport. I saw how deeply it meant to people, in a way I didn't appreciate prior to that. And then I was in London when the World Cup began, and I saw the opening match — Argentina and Cameroon, with Cameroon winning in an upset. Just the whole spectacle of it gave me an appreciation for the game.” — Brian Bunk, on Ireland, Italia '90, and the moment everything changed Not long now. Only seven days until the World Cup begins. Just enough time to read Brian D. Bunk's new The Shortest History of Soccer: From Ancient Kicking Games to the World's Most Popular Sport. History isn't Bunk with Brian. He looks a bit like Elton John, which is appropriate given that old Rocket Man was chairman of Watford and bankrolled the tiny English club to almost winning the league. Pop stars like Ed Sheeran (Ipswich) and Robert Plant (Wolves) love football, Bunk notes. Probably because it reminds them of where they came from. Bunk's thesis is that soccer's global dominance is not accidental. Born in the industrial communities of nineteenth-century England, the game gave workers a new identity, new evidence of their collective power, proof they'll never walk alone. That same logic explains why middle-aged men all over America religiously gather at their local bars to watch English teams with strange names like Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Such is religion in our globalised post-industrial age. “Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that,” the great Liverpool manager Bill Shankly quipped. That's the shortest of short histories of football. What the working-class Shankly meant was that it gives us social meaning — which is, indeed, more historically significant than the life or death of a single individual. Or even God. Football saves our souls, Brian Bunk concurs with Bill Shankly. Enjoy the World Cup. Five Takeaways •       Soccer Was Born in Industrial Communities for a Reason: The game emerged in industrial Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century not by accident but because industrialisation had shattered traditional community life. Mass migration to cities, technological disruption, the loss of familiar rhythms — all created a need for new kinds of identity and belonging. Soccer filled that need. It gave factory workers a team to follow, a ground to gather at, a shared identity that transcended ethnic and class lines. Bunk's argument: this community function is baked into the game itself, which is why it has replicated across every culture it has touched. •       Why Americans Love the Premier League: Bunk identifies the 1990s as the pivotal decade for American soccer. The 1994 World Cup on home soil. The women's World Cup. The formation of MLS. The arrival of the FIFA video game. The Premier League broadcasting deals with ESPN and Fox. All of these combined and snowballed. Add to that the NFL owners investing in English clubs, the celebrity ownership wave (Ryan Reynolds, Elton John), and the cultural footprint of shows like Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham. The result: a generation of Americans for whom following the Premier League is a primary source of community. •       Maradona: All the Contradictions of Football in One Man: Asked which historical match he would most want to attend, Bunk chooses Mexico City, June 1986: Argentina vs England. Not for the Hand of God goal — which was cheating — but for the second goal, the one where Maradona picked up the ball in his own half, went past five English players, and scored what is generally considered the greatest goal in the history of the game. Bryon Butler's BBC radio commentary: “turning like a little eel.” Andrew's verdict: if any single figure captures all the genius, joy, turbulence, and tragedy of football, it is Maradona. •       The World Cup Returns to North America: In seven days, the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — the first time the tournament has returned to North America since the USA hosted in 1994. The timing of Bunk's book is deliberate. Soccer is more popular in America than at any point in history, and the home World Cup is the event that could push it into the first tier of American sports culture. The Premier League, MLS, women's soccer, and now the World Cup: the game's US footprint is larger than it has ever been. •       Andrew's Game: Tottenham vs Benfica, April 1962: Andrew's own fantasy match, offered unprompted at the end: the first leg of the 1962 European Cup semi-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Benfica at the Est00e1dio da Luz in Lisbon on March 20, 1962, with Eusebio and Jimmy Greaves on the same pitch. Spurs lost 320131 on the night, went out 420132 on aggregate. Two clear penalties not given. Andrew's conclusion: had Spurs won that match, the history of European football — and possibly his own life — would have been different. He notes that he has a son, and that he should have called him Jimmy. About the Guest Brian D. Bunk is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he teaches courses on world history, modern Europe, and the global history of soccer. He is the author of The Shortest History of Soccer: From Ancient Kicking Games to the World's Most Popular Sport (The Experiment, June 2026), Beyond the Field: How Soccer Built Community in the United States (University of Illinois Press, 2025), and From Football to Soccer: The Early History of the Beautiful Game in the United States (University of Illinois Press, 2021).

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by one of England's toughest ever players… Terry Butcher.From THAT iconic blood-soaked shirt to facing Diego Maradona at the height of his powers, Terry takes us right inside the chaos, passion, and brutality of football in the 80s and 90s.The lads dive deep into Italia 90, the legendary England dressing room, Gazza stories, Bobby Robson's management style, and why Terry believes modern football has “gone soft”. There's also incredible insight into what it actually felt like playing against Maradona during the infamous Hand of God match in 1986 — including what happened when Terry confronted him afterwards.Away from football, Terry opens up emotionally about his son Christopher, his battle with PTSD after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the powerful ITV documentary Invisible Wounds. It's one of the most honest and moving conversations we've ever had on the podcast.Plus: shirt-swapping disasters, Escape To Victory, Dwight Yorke in Australia, and why footballers should stop pulling their socks down.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Be sure to watch Invisible Wounds, which will air on ITV and ITVX in June, ahead of England's World Cup opener v Croatia on June 17th.Combat2Coffee: https://www.combat2coffee.co.uk/Combat Stress: https://combatstress.org.uk/Help For Heroes: https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/get-help/ex-service-women/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23612607550&gbraid=0AAAAADfdgk3vGyf2yF9_4TfZXzAow3j3X&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlLDQBhDjARIsAPlIefFfyifNOXZ69J4ExXskaJtW_LA5j_-jigg8zBDVVMgkk3oJCeClSS4aAq4HEALw_wcB 00:00 - Eurovision chat and Wembley FA Cup stories02:04 - Chris and Sids wind Pete up about Wembley03:55 - John Terry sends Pete a Ruud Gullit surprise video05:26 - Terry Butcher joins the podcast06:25 - Inside the legendary Italia 90 England camp08:03 - Why England never expected to win Italia 9009:24 - England training sessions were “harder than matches”11:28 - Terry explains his mentality playing for England13:23 - “The game's gone soft” starts here14:00 - The full story behind the bloodied shirt15:34 - Why Terry refused to come off injured17:28 - “Every header felt like a squelch”18:20 - Terry reacts to fans dressing up as him19:47 - Life at Rangers and Old Firm madness22:46 - Terry relives the Hand of God match24:21 - Hearing England scream “HANDBALL!” at Maradona25:30 - Terry confronted Maradona after the game26:40 - Was Maradona the greatest ever?28:11 - What made Bobby Robson special29:34 - Terry's issues with modern footballers30:40 - Can England finally win another World Cup?31:33 - Finding out England call-ups on Ceefax32:10 - Why Terry hates energy gels on the pitch33:04 - Terry opens up about his son Christopher35:13 - PTSD, grief, and the struggles veterans face37:19 - How “Combat 2 Coffee” helps veterans talk40:29 - Terry speaks honestly about grief and crying42:38 - Listener questions begin42:59 - Why Terry turned down Escape To Victory44:11 - The only Argentina shirt Terry ever kept44:41 - John Terry's question: best centre-back partner?46:04 - Managing Sydney FC and Dwight Yorke stories48:07 - Highland derby chaos with Derek Adams50:28 - Terry explains what wearing the England shirt means51:04 - Terry's final rant about modern football51:47 - The lads reflect on Terry's emotional interview54:20 - End of Terry segment / football roundup begins01:02:43 - Why FA Cup managers should wear suits again01:06:10 - Listener story about referees and fancy dress01:12:00 - Paddy Power predictions01:28:11 - EndFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.
