Set against the dramatic end of the Cold War, amidst English Hooliganism,  German reunification and the looming disintegration of Yugoslavia, this three-part Sky Documentaries series brings new urgency to the story of the 1990 World Cup. Through striking archive and first-hand accounts from figures like Paul Gascoigne, Roger Milla and Jürgen Klinsmann, the series weaves together events on the pitch with a continent in flux, where a newly unified Germany found sporting triumph even as Yugoslavia edged toward conflict. The result is a portrait of a tournament inseparable from the birth of a new world order. ​​
