The main bulk of Stuart Hancock's epic orchestral score for the film depicts the drama of the classic semi-final between England and West Germany. Performed byBratislava Symphony Orchestra. I'm sure the soccer fans will love it, but as for the rest of us? It's a well-constructed argument that points up the insignificance of victory and defeat in the greater scheme of things. Hancock's music is absolutely brilliant, the new recording of 'Nessun Dorma' breathtaking and the performance by the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra extraordinary. It's nothing really worth watching.

The World Cup is the greatest sporting event in the World. The next edition of the tournament is now less than two-and-a-half years away. Here are my 50 best moments in World Cup history from the first World Cup in to the present:. One of the beautiful things about the World Cup is that it allows people from all over the world to come together to share their love of the game. The World Cup gives people common ground and can bring them together in a way that politicians fail to. No event symbolizes this better than when Iran played the USA in When these two nations were drawn into the same group, the world was stunned. There were perhaps no two nations on earth that had worse relations at the time. As soon as they were drawn against each other, people envisioned the match being an ugly and rough affair.

The old saying goes you must learn how to crawl before you learn how to walk. All great things in life have to start somewhere, and for the World Cup, it began in Prior tothe Olympics were viewed as the most important football tournament. After years of negotiations, FIFA finally were able to organize the tournament that spectators had long dreamt for. However, the World Cup was not always the spectacle that it is today. In fact, it was hard to even find teams that wanted to take the long trip to Uruguay to compete in the first tournament. However, FIFA was able to find 12 participants who were willing to join the host nation and compete. On July 13,the World Cup got under way with two matches starting simultaneously. There was great anticipation for the tournament in Uruguay, but the matches not involving the hosts or their neighbors failed to attract large crowds. The hosts performed well, as did their arch nemesis Argentina. Both One Night in Turin: The Inside Story of a World Cup That Changed Our Footballing Nation Forever these teams made it to the semifinals, and both had convincing victories to reach the final.

Celebrations broke out instantly throughout the country and the next day was declared a holiday. The reaction in Argentina was vastly different. In Buenos Aires, angry supporters hurled stones at the Uruguayan consult to show their displeasure. Without the first World Cup, the game would never have evolved into the enormous spectacle that it is today. There are few teams in world football that have had a more glorious history then Germany. The Germans had won at least one major in every decade since the s ended in the s. Going into the World Cup, they were the reigning European Champions and their expectations were high as they always are. Croatia is better known for their beautiful beaches and the brutal war that devastated the country than for football. The World Cup was the first time that Croatia were even eligible to participate as an independent nation. At the time, the football mad nation was desperate for a distraction that could help give them escape from the horrors of war. Despite the fact that Croatia had performed well at Euro 96, no one expected them to do much in the World Cup. Their performance would take the world by storm. In the quarterfinals, Germany and Croatia met, and it was viewed as David against Goliath type match. The match started as expected with Germany creating a series of good chances, but were kept at bay. In the 40th minute, the Croatians got a big break as One Night in Turin: The Inside Story of a World Cup That Changed Our Footballing Nation Forever Worns was sent off for a wild challenge on Davor Suker.

They piled on the chances looking for a second goal that would kill off the match. Germany also had a couple close calls—the best coming when goalie, Drazen Ladic, made a point blank save off a corner. In the 80th minute, the second goal came. It was similar to the first goal, but this one was scored by Goran Vlaovic. He picked up the ball just inside the top of the box and fired a lovely curling shot inside the left post. Just five minutes later, Suker put the icing on the cake. He picked up a pass One Night in Turin: The Inside Story of a World Cup That Changed Our Footballing Nation Forever the byline and cut it back before slipping a shot past the keeper which he could only deflect into the goal. When the full-time whistle blew, the underdogs had knocked out the European champions in convincing fashion. For Germany this would signal the end of an era for German football. Despite coming close on a number of occasions, Germany has not been able to win a major since this generation of players retired. Croatia would go on to lose in the semifinals, but their third-place appearance was a major success. They were the surprise team of the tournament, and Davor Suker would win the Golden Boot award. A score like that could only take place on the playground or in an Oceania World Cup qualifier. However, in Hungary would prove that it's possibly to hit double digits at a World Cup match, as they trounced El Salvador in the biggest margin of victory in the history of the tournament, They had world class players such as Ferenc Puskas, and inthey were one of the favorites to win it all. Hungary made it to the final where they played West Germany but went down in one of the biggest upsets in finals history. Since that point, they had fallen off considerably and were not expected to go far in El Salvador was one of the minnows at the World Cup. They had stunned the football world by qualifying for the World Cup in the midst of a brutal civil war. The success of the national team was a great source of pride to the people and had provided them with a welcomed distraction to their troubles. However, in their opening match of the tournament, public opinion would change drastically on the team, in one of the most embarrassing performances in their history. From the beginning, El Salvador attacked with reckless abandon. They pushed forward right away and were exposed at the back. It took just four minutes for Hungary to score the opener. Then, two more came before the first 25 minutes, and the rout was on. El Salvador was able to steady the ship and not concede again for the rest of the first half. However, a nightmare would unfold after the break. El Salvador continued to throw everyone forward without any caution whatsoever. At one point, they were even playing four strikers. Five minutes into the second half, a fourth would come and four minutes after that a fifth. El Salvador would pull one back courtesy of Luis Zapata. His goal remains the only one ever scored by El Salvador in the World Cup to this day. Zapata enjoyed the feat, but it would only serve to aggravate the Hungarians. They answered the goal with another five of their own, to complete the scoring at Laszlo Kiss led the team in scoring with a hat trick. The El Salvador team was mocked by the press and fans from all of the world. At home, fans were outraged by what they had seen. At one point, the team that had been a source of national pride was now an utter disgrace. El Salvador would restore some credibility with respectable performances in their next two matches but would lose both of them. Hungary could not build on their performance and only took one point in their next two matches, which was not enough to advance.
