A look back at historic football tournaments from the perspective of a couple of Scottish football fans. In the first series, we delve into the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and find, not only a brilliant tournament, but also player strikes, an alleged poisoning, Henry Kissenger's failed attempt at soccer diplomacy and the head of the Scottish FA referring to the Uruguayan's as 'cheats and cowards, the scum of world football!'
We're in the midst of recording series 2, where we look back to Italia 90.
It has been an epic series, this one. 11 sprawling episodes that took us from tournament build up, to attending Scotland's opener in Boston and ultimately to the final in NYC where Spain outlasted Argentina in a final that will live mere minutes in the memory. Along the way, we saw Cape Verde capture everyone's imagination, Curacao snatch an unlikely equalizer against tournament blue bloods Germany and we saw Paraguay manage to...well, out Uruguay Uruguay. Throughout WC2026, the big stars shone. Messi, Haaland, Kane, Bellingham, Rodri, Mbappe etc all lived up to the hype and we saw less well know figures like Canales (Paraguay), Raskin (Belgium) and Mora (Mexico) surprise with some outstanding performances.
In this final episode for the series, we reflect on it all and we delve into Steven's team of the tournament, which proved to be one final chance for Nick to mock him for bias and poor judgement...it won't be the last.

Is this the worst world cup final in history?...Yes! (Series 4, Ep 10)
For the love of all that's holy...why did we have to sit through that monstrosity of a match?! Ah that's right, to prove that Stevie can, in fact, pick a winner...back in your box Nick!
We review our semi final predictions...terrible, we review the final itself...terrible, and we tee up the final episode in this series which will come in a few days where we'll reflect on the tournament as a whole and Stevie provides his, much anticipated, team of the tournament. We cannae wait!

Stevie's lost his crystal ball (Series 4, Ep 9)
We review our predictions for the quarters and make some predictions for the semis. Now, when I say 'review', what I actually mean is Nick ruthlessly mocks me for my utter ineptitude when it comes to predicting the outcome of football matches. To get my own back, I've predicted Hearts will win the league next season. That's them, well and truly scuppered!
