S12E27 Ronaldo's Redemption

Scottish Football Forums Podcast

In this final World Cup throwback for the time being, John B, Krys and Scott get together once more. With the current World Cup taking place in Asia, the guys look back to the first Asian World Cup as Japan and South Korea hosted in 2002.

This was the start of Scotland's long absence, so there's a brief look back at what went wrong for our national side on this particular occasion. Krys had other interest with both Republic of Ireland and Poland qualifying for the tournament - to mixed success it has to be said.

There's a number of stories across this World Cup, from the fortunes of the two hosts - the first time and so far only time that a World Cup has been shared - to the beginning of the curse of the holders was well as a few more surprise packages in between. There is, of course, time to reminisce about England's exit and the return of a seven year old joke in the process.

But the story of this World Cup comes down to one of redemption. No, not David Beckham, but the original Ronaldo. Maybe not redemption for his barber though.

There's also a few mentions of the current World Cup action during this podcast, as we recorded on the night Japan helped send Germany crashing out of the group stages for a second successive tournament.

We hope you've enjoyed this series of World Cup throwbacks. Let us know if you have and maybe we'll look to do a few more in the future.
