16 yellow cards. 4 red cards. One incident of incredible football street justice.

Combine it all and you get "The Battle of Nuremberg" the most action-packed World Cup game you can imagine. For your audio pleasure, we tried as best as possible to keep up with all the action and break down this record-breaking game.

Along the way, we battled a unique quiz, which covered some crazy stories from footballing indiscipline, Blatter's penchant for quotable content and what Van Nistelrooy was doing stuck to the bench.

Come along for the laughs on our journey through Football's past. If you have enjoyed the podcast please leave a rating or review, follow us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on our coming releases and tell a friend about the show.

How does it feel when your first game for your country results in a 31-0 loss and a World record that stands to this day? You keep trying despite all the odds. At least, that's what you do if you are Nicky Salapu, our guest for this week's podcast.

We spoke to him about that harrowing Australia game and how he reacted afterwards. We asked him what has kept him going through an almost 20-year career for his country, playing for the ultimate footballing underdog and Nicky explained what it felt like committing yourself at a personal cost to keep playing and fighting for your country, through all the pain.

And finally, we found out how it felt when finally the curse was broken, and he experienced victory playing for his country in 2015. Along the way, we asked about his experiences of the Next Goal Wins documentary, how Thomas Rongen was as a coach and how he still dreams of a rematch against Australia.

He has a truly inspiring and fascinating story, and we are delighted to share it with you this week.

This week we went back to remember one of football history's most brilliant teams, the Hungary team of the 1950s. With two Germans on the pod, we watched their country's first world cup win, as West Germany pulled off one of the biggest World Cup shocks.

Along the way we battled with a 1954 World Cup quiz, heard one of the most remarkable stories about a footballing curse and found out about the manager who gave up on his team to read a racing newspaper from the stands mid match.

We also found out why this underdog story of the German win may not be as pure as it seems, and had a discussion about doping in sports.

This week we went back to celebrate one of football's most fondly remembered teams, the Brazil team of 1982. We watched one of the greatest games from World Cup history as they came up against Italy in Barcelona in a clash of styles and philosophies.

Along the way we were wowed by Zico, shocked by Brazilian defending and wondered at the instincts of Rossi. We learned who nearly choked on the field and the crazy thing that happened in the game between France and Kuwait at the same World Cup. We delved deep into the price of playing football the 'right' way and discussed where there remains space for ideals in the game.

We have also improved our podcasting sound system, so we no longer sound like we are in an airport hanger!

Along the way, we discussed crazy qualification systems, what the world was like in 1966 and Franz Beckenbauer's love of black bread. Joining us we had a very special guest on the show, providing a first-hand account of watching the final live on TV. And of course, we discussed that goal!

In 2010 Suarez's deliberate handball at the end of extra time in Uruguay's quarter-final match against Ghana angered not only a country, or a continent but the world.

On this weeks episode, we did a deep dive on this infamous game from the South African World Cup and ended up with a deep discussion on cheating, sportsmanship and winning. Along the way we discussed possibly the worst ever world cup ball, what Akon was doing in a goals highlights video and Soccer City as a stadium name.

South Korea's run to the 2002 World Cup Semi-Finals was clouded by accusations of biased refereeing to help the host nation progress. In particular, their last 16 match against Italy caused international outcry as the Italians alleged a FIFA stitch-up perpetrated by referee Moreno.

But is this a case of the reaction having no relation to the reality? On this episode of the pod we discuss how bad was the refereeing performance, whether Italy only had themselves to blame and if Dr. Cha is our favourite footballer.
