    Nessun Dorma Book Club - Tears for England

    In the first of a series of book specials, the journalist and columnist Robert Taylor joins Martyn to discuss his new book about following England throughout the last 50 years. They chat about obsessive fandom, the curse of big injuries and early goals, how critical we should be of England managers, why England underperform and indeed if they actually have and a lot more. This is a great read and can be found here and in the usual places ⁠https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tears-England-Obsession-Heartbreak-Football/dp/1836804210/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1YJ4TL0UIPDQK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ks-sMRPOaAuITDIy-3ajNSMMbden4XS_rOU-zjz0yy8.XegXOVjDU-dm0WDBNXCTTyxyG-5MTibGC3JfdX5ecuY&dib_tag=se&keywords=tears+for+england&qid=1777837183&sprefix=tears+for+england%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1⁠ If you want weekly exclusive bonus shows, join our Nessun Dorma community chat, want your episodes without ads and a couple of days earlier or just want to support the podcast, then head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/NessunDormaPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ where you can subscribe for only $3.99 a month (less than 75p a week!).

    Mexico '86 - Part Fifteen: The Draft

    The easiest draft in football history? Let's see.  Reigning ND World Cup Draft Champion Dominic Hougham returns to compete with Mac, Michael Hamlen and author of the brilliant 'The Heroes of Mexico 86' Richard Mulligan to find the best unique XI based purely on performances at the tournament.  With Martyn left to judge on defence, midfield, attack and overall balance it might just be more than who gets the number 1 draw and gets first pick... More importantly, let us know what you think of the four sides! The Heroes of Mexico 86 can be found here https://www.curtis-sport.com/all-programmes/The-Heroes-of-Mexico-86-p826871016 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Mexico '86 - Part Fourteen: The Final

    We started back in January with the qualifiers and now we are at the Azteca, bursting with 114,000 people for the World Cup Final of 1986. Aidan Williams and Dominic Hougham join Martyn to discuss the team selections and possible alternatives, the game, the impact of the last 20 minutes, the fascinating live coverage and debate where this Final and the tournament as a whole sits on the World Cup pantheon.

    Mexico '86 - Part Thirteen: The Semis

    And then there were four. Mac and Martyn attempt to make sense of another French failure against their arch nemesis but give some justified praise for an excellent West German defensive performance. Belgium did everything right for the best part of an hour before the real Diego masterclass from Mexico got underway.

    Mexico '86 - Part Twelve: The Quarters

    Martyn, Mike and Rob settle down to revisit one of the great weekends in World Cup history. France and Brazil produce a classic and a goal that would be lionised if the result had been different, the hosts suffer a fate that many will over the years: defeat to West Germany on penalties, the surprise package carry on and England v Argentina provides enough for an entire series.

    Mexico '86 - Part Nine: 12th and 13th June

    Gary and John return to wrap up the group stages of the 1986 World Cup. Ian St John has a meltdown watching Scotland somehow managing to miss out against the "scum of world football". West Germany are the latest to be put to the sword by Denmark but end up on the better side of the draw as a result and there is quite the debut for a young Brazilian right back by the name of Josimar.
