Episode Synopsis

This episode reflects on France’s disastrous World Cup defence in 2002. Roger Lemerre’s team arrived in South Korea as World Champions, European Champions, and Confederations Cup holders. They had Zinedine Zidane in peak form, as well as the golden boot winners from three of Europe’s top leagues. Rarely can there have been such a strong favourite to win a World Cup. What followed was a remarkable capitulation, as France went home without even scoring a goal.French National Anthem from https://nationalanthems.info/Twitter@MatthewOkot@WorldCupRambleSubscribe to World Cup Rambling on your podcast platform
