0:00:01 > 0:00:05What do you know about the World Cup? About the what? The World Cup.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08World Cup? That's in soccer? Yes.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11I don't even know who's... I'm sorry, I don't know anything about it.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14When you're out in the desert, all you think about is the heat
0:00:14 > 0:00:15and how to survive!
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Soccer? Soccer. Yeah.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22What about soccer? Well, I don't know anything about soccer!
0:00:22 > 0:00:27I'm sorry! Soccer? As in, like, English football? Right.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's very good.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Gotta go. Soccer... Soccer's a...
0:00:33 > 0:00:37It is a game between two team...
0:00:37 > 0:00:41and each team supposed to have 11 player.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The 1 become goalkeeper.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48So, they should play with their foot,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52no hands, only foot and head, but no hands.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54The Americans need scoring.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57If it's too low-scoring a game, it's too boring for American audiences.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Soccer is fun! We've been watching it lately, and it's fun!
0:01:02 > 0:01:03For us, it's...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05SIRENS BLARE ..it's new to us.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hi, my name's Karen, and this is my daughter Amy and my son Tripp,
0:01:15 > 0:01:20and we're really excited that the World Cup is in the United States.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Control of the ball. The simple rule in that game is
0:01:25 > 0:01:31as long as you control the ball, the other team cannot score against you.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35You kick. You know, you do all kinds of things, go with your head...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37It's pretty exciting. Shoulder...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Like this, like this, like this. Like this.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Boom! Boom! With the hand and the feet and the head,
0:01:41 > 0:01:45and he loved it and he used to win all the games.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I don't know anything about the World Cup.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Hello, I'm Donald, this is my daughter Nicole.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31If you'd like, we can go in and watch the game.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50The World Cup. Saudi Arabia are going to win. That's all I know!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Who's going to win? Well, my favourite team is Cameroon.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14There's only one winner, and that's Norway! Yeah!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Well, the World Cup soccer favourites right now,
0:04:23 > 0:04:29we have, er, Brazil at 7-5, which is you lay five dollars to win seven.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31And then we have Germany at 7-2, which is
0:04:31 > 0:04:33a three-and-a-half-to-one favourite.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39On all the continents, this is the game, played with passion,
0:04:39 > 0:04:44in dusty fields, grassy playgrounds, huge stadiums.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46They yearn for the goal that can change everything.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48HE YELLS
0:05:08 > 0:05:14The new contenders, the old champs, since 1930, every four years.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Africa is flexing its muscles, Asia is on the horizon,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Eastern Europe is re-asserting itself,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and one day soon, so they say in America,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33all those youthlings will produce the next great soccer power.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35This time, the United States of America has become
0:05:35 > 0:05:37a gigantic television studio.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39And the whole world is watching.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Brasil, Brasil! Deutschland... Deutschland. ..muss!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The Americans are going to win it!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50AMERICANS: Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Argentina.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Expectations are always high in Argentina.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Two World Cup championships will do that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03After a painful 5-0 loss to Colombia,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07the fans demand that Diego Armando Maradona be called back.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11In 1986, he punched in a goal and maintained it was the Hand of God.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Is he still a creative genius, or just a character actor?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Maradona comes back. Argentina qualifies.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29The old and the new collide head-on.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Nigeria has been studying, training, working.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03WHISTLE BLOWS
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Maradona helps Claudio Caniggia score twice to come back.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46But the old champions get the distinct impression
0:07:46 > 0:07:48life is getting tougher all the time.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Marked by three or four defenders,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Maradona shows the moves and the passes
0:08:11 > 0:08:13that once made him the most feared player on earth.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Argentina seems renewed.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Once again, the old champs are contenders.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22And, I mean, Maradona, what can you say?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I mean, he just controlled that game.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It was too bad that, you know, he couldn't finish off the tournament.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Maradona has been selected at random for drug testing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Only recently, he was reinstated from a suspension for drug abuse.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41To get back in shape, he has lost over 20 pounds.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44The laboratory results find five separate banned substances
0:08:44 > 0:08:47normally used for quick weight loss.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Maradona concedes nothing, but he is quickly suspended.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52He departs from competition
0:08:52 > 0:08:54in the same manner he has spent his entire career,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56the centre of attention.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Argentina must forget about Maradona.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Redondo, Simeone, Batistuta and Ortega,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05knees pumping, eyes flashing, hair flying,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09are out to prove their nation did not produce just one soccer player.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18The Argentines lose to a rising Bulgaria
0:09:18 > 0:09:20but advance to the second round.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Without Maradona, they must deal with
0:09:22 > 0:09:24the other tough guys from Eastern Europe, Romania.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Too many games in recent World Cups have been defensive.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50This year, the rules have been adjusted in favour of the offence.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Referees have been warned to call more fouls and offsides
0:09:53 > 0:09:54only when they're sure.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56All that careful study pays off today.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Rather than wait for a mistake late in the game,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02both teams attack from the start, counter-attack and attack again.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:35 > 0:13:37This is Los Angeles, show biz.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41The game is full-court soccer, a present to the New World.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Americans want high-scoring sports? They get high-scoring sports.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Romania 3-2 Argentina.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Many say this is the best game of the World Cup.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The crowd cheers both sides.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Argentina, without its flamboyant troubled genius,
0:13:58 > 0:13:59can leave with respect.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Romania brings folk dancing to the grass of the Rose Bowl.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08They have gone further than they have ever gone before.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20HE SINGS IN ROMANIAN
0:14:25 > 0:14:30The old songs take on a new beat. Romania rocks, Romania rolls.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Romania had many great soccer players,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34but they were expected to play at home. Now things are different.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Most of the Romanians play in Western Europe,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and when they return to the national team,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41they bring back new skills, new confidence.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Romania has been let loose on the world.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45ALL CHANT: Hagi! Hagi! Hagi!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Everything flows through Hagi,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56the great schemer, the great ball handler.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57He is playing with a freedom
0:14:57 > 0:15:00denied to many great players in recent World Cups.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03CHANT: Hagi! Hagi! Hagi!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Many Colombians think they can win it all
0:15:31 > 0:15:34after the 5-0 beating of Argentina in the qualifying round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The players have the support
0:15:36 > 0:15:38of many Hispanic fans in Southern California.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Perhaps it is too much.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The Colombian players have great individual skills,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44but they can't seem to play as a unit.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47From such lofty expectations, it is all too easy to fall to earth.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Colombia is sleepwalking through a national nightmare. They lose heart.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Hagi. Tremendous football player,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00great view about the game, and he has a tremendous left foot.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07This game is like a chess match,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11the Swedes trying to fill the spaces, obstruct the Romanians.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Disappointing in the 1990 World Cup,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16the Swedes are a revelation in the States.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Sweden has figured out how to bottle up the Romanian attack.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21No score for 78 minutes.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20The goalkeeper can only make up his mind which way to jump
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and hope he guesses right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Ravelli goes low and left to stop Romania.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Sweden has moved to the semifinals for the first time since 1958.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Here come the Germans, always there,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23relentless, methodical, proud, consistent
0:21:23 > 0:21:25and good.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Two goals down, they will strike back.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29As West Germany, they won three World Cups
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and were finalists in four of the past five.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Much of their squad is left over from the 1990 champions.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Never count the Germans out.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52The Cotton Bowl, a shrine of the American version of football.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Klinsmann and the others pick up where they left off in 1990.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58MUSIC: "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Most games are being played in the midday sun for European television.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Good for ratings, not so good for stamina.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Germany takes a 3-0 lead on South Korea.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29MUSIC SLOWS DOWN AND STOPS
0:22:29 > 0:22:31TRADITIONAL KOREAN MUSIC PLAYS
0:22:45 > 0:22:47The Koreans never stop running.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Hassler has cramps. Hubner has the sweats.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Klinsmann thinks the clock has stalled.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Germany wins this game 3-2.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59It's hard to tell, watching Matthaus hobble off the field.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Cold and drizzly,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Chicago weather suits this Northern European showdown.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Frizzy-haired Rudi Voller retired from the national team after 1990.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Now he and Klinsmann are reunited for two goals in 11 minutes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Voller makes it 3-1 at half-time.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Weber insists he was fouled. Belgium demands a penalty kick.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39The referee says play on.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50In the 91st minute, the Belgians are desperate.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52"You owe us one," they say.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54It was very exciting, especially at the end,
0:24:54 > 0:24:55when the goalie came and decided
0:24:55 > 0:24:58he was going to try to keep that German from coming out,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and he tried to get it with his head.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04PREUD'HOMME'S WIFE:
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Despite the loss, Preud'homme's gallantry and skill are recognised.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Long after his wife's tears have dried,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44he'll be named best goalie of the 1994 World Cup.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48CHANT: Michel, Michel, Michel Preud'homme!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Germany seems to be on the march again.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42They have raced from Chicago to Dallas to Chicago
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and now they have roared east, to the Meadowlands,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47just across the river from New York.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Their quarterfinal opponent, the improbable Bulgaria,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53is ranked 31st in the world, right behind the United States.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Except for Stoitchkov, they are not household names,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00not like Klinsmann, not like Voller, not like Matthaus.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09WHISTLE BLOWS
0:27:15 > 0:27:17The Bulgarians don't expect any breaks.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Matthaus is awarded a penalty kick, his specialty.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The World Cup is about to change for Germany and Bulgaria
0:27:43 > 0:27:44in the next five minutes.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54The relentless Voller puts the rebound in the net.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05The referee signals Voller was offsides.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08On this hot afternoon, the Germans get an emotional cold shower.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Given a life, Bulgaria strikes back.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Pressure on the Germans. Pressure leads to a foul.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Stoitchkov's missile over the wall
0:28:40 > 0:28:42touches off the hopes and dreams of the tiny nation.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06The Germans stand around, looking for an opening.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07They have lost their edge.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09You never see this from the Germans.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Bulgaria is in charge now.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19They push the ball downfield against a stumbling Matthaus.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21What happened to the myth of the unflappable Germans?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28The ball moves from centre to the side to centre.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31The hunters are being stalked by the new force from the east.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51The world has turned in five minutes,
0:29:51 > 0:29:56from 2-0 Germany for a few false seconds to 2-1 Bulgaria.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58The defending champions have gone down.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47The Bulgarian players came to America
0:30:47 > 0:30:49to reverse their gloomy World Cup history,
0:30:49 > 0:30:5316 games, 6 ties, 10 losses.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55They believe they are better than that.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26The Bulgarians are anxious. They cannot quite finish their attack.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30This is Nigeria's first game ever in the World Cup, and they play hard.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53For Bulgaria, even the shots that go in don't count.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Stoitchkov's perfect free kick is nullified.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Bulgaria had been signalled to make two touches after the foul.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31The Bulgarians are no strangers to suffering.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35The streak is now 17 games without a victory.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Sometimes suffering is rewarded.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40The next game, Bulgaria beats Greece, then Argentina.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43And when the suffering ends, the celebrating begins.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47The Bulgarians don't want the party to stop.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07The Bulgarians gather themselves to confront Mexico,
0:34:07 > 0:34:08first in its own group.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Stoitchkov quiets the partisan crowd early.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33WHISTLE BLOWS
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Mexico draws even on a penalty kick.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Both teams play roughly, afraid to make a mistake.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Four yellow cards each, one expulsion each.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03The game must go into the much-criticised shoot-out.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Tension shows as Mexico misses three straight penalties.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Bulgaria's getting good at celebrating.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21In perhaps the biggest shock of this World Cup,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Bulgaria will now stun Germany.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Some of the old powers are suffering, too.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Italia! Italia!
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Italy has won three World Cups.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48It is the richest national league in the world.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50The blue shirts of the Azzurri
0:35:50 > 0:35:52are respected and feared wherever they play.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54But things are not going right here.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Coach Arrigo Sacchi has been tinkering with the line-up
0:35:56 > 0:35:59ever since he took over this team two years ago.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Never a professional player, he is a self-possessed man,
0:36:02 > 0:36:03a thinker, a questioner.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Italian fans are confused. What is Sacchi thinking? What does he want?
0:36:19 > 0:36:25# You'll never beat the Irish! You'll never beat the Irish! #
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Ireland and Italy are playing today, and I hope Ireland win.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04The ultimate ethnic game for New York.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07In the 11th minute, all Italy is in pain when Irish eyes are smiling.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20With the Azzurri, it seems there is no easy way.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Italy must win this game against tall and rugged Norway.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54The players know they will be vilified back home
0:37:54 > 0:37:56if they are eliminated in the first round.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57It has happened before.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Pagliuca is expelled for fouling the dribbler.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Sacchi must send in his second goalkeeper,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25but he must remove one of his ten players. Who will it be?
