Born in the USA: 1994's great American World Cup

As the World Cup returns to America, it would not have been possible without the spectacular success of USA 94.

That was actually a huge gamble at the time, but more than paid off - in multiple ways. A colourfully open tournament was the consequence of unique factors coming together at once, but also changed the World Cup for the future.

A tournament full of soul had an immense commercial legacy - right up to the Glazers taking over Manchester United.

We discuss that and so much more from a tournament packed with storylines and moments, like whether Brazil were actually good winners, whether Baggio’s legacy has been enhanced by that miss and if a World Cup is better without England.
