In our eighteenth file, we travel to Germany, 2006, where the World Cup became a month-long celebration of all things football.
Fans from around the world filled Germany’s streets and stadiums, creating one of the most colourful and joyful tournaments the competition had ever seen. The host nation surprised everyone with an exciting run, young stars announced themselves to the world, and Zinedine Zidane returned to his brilliant best to lead France into the final. But Italy arrived with a powerful defence, fierce determination, and a team growing stronger with every match.
In File 18: Germany 2006, we uncover how Germany rediscovered its love for its national team, how Italy survived drama both on and off the pitch, and how one shocking moment brought Zidane’s extraordinary career — and an unforgettable World Cup final — to a dramatic end.
Strap in. History never played it safe.
