55 - England v Turkey Euro 2004 Qualifiers pt2
It's time for England v Turkey: Round Two as Sven's England Army travel to Istanbul with Euro 2004 qualification in mind.
There is huge drama surrounding the game - not just because of the fire and brimstone of the first tie.

54 - England v Turkey Euro 2004 Qualifiers Pt 1
Baby we're ready to go!
The start of a classic Sven era two legged affair kicks off with an infamous Euro 2004 qualifier at the Stadium of Light as England take on Turkey.
This game marks the official launch of RooMania and maybe the start of the great David Beckham decline - but we've got bigger things to contend with today, such as Turkey's love affair with Blackburn and a lottt of fighting.

53 - England v Australia - 2003 friendly
A sporting rivalry steeped in pettiness and bitterness finally crosses over to the Beautiful Game as England take on Australia in a 'bragging rights' friendly.
The game is notable for two key stories: the debut of one Wayne Rooney, and Sven's decision to announce ahead of time he would be making ELEVEN SUBSTITUTIONS AT HALF TIME.
We revisit the aftermath of the 2002 World Cup and England's plans for the future, as well as the footballing history of Australia. We also zip forward to the current day for a recap of England's recent friendly against Australia and Euro 2024 qualification against Italy.

52 - The Rous Cup Pt3
And now, the end is near. The Rous Cup faces the final curtain.
The tournament born from the ashes of a century of Home Nations ties lasts less than half a decade, taking many strange turns along the way.
This episode looks at the final three years of Rous history and pontificates on the question: just what in the hell were England up to?
Not content with an annual slugfest against Scotland, the FA looks to South America to bring some glamour to the tournament in the hope of elongating this sorry mess.

51 - The Rous Cup pt2
The most prestigious UK based annual international football competition since the fall of the Home Nations 12 months previous is back!
That's right, the Rous Cup returns, with Scotland keen to keep their hands on the trophy and England out for revenge.
We also take a detour into qualification for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and the associated admin based mini-tournaments that England are - of course - more than happy to take part in.
