History Channel showing wall to wall World Cup documentaries

[colonelwest]

In case anyones missed it, the History Channel are running wall to wall World Cup and football documentaries for the couple of weeks leading up to the finals kicking off, Mexico 86 & Italia 90 repeated later today, caught a few of them so far, the '82 one with the North there and Schumacher battering Battison was excellent, they're well worth a watch or throwing on the Sky+.

(England just about to get knocked out on penalties again right now :D)

I watched some of these over the weekend. The official "FIFA films" are real products of their time, and are very focused on the champions of each one, but have some nice alternate footage of matches. The 98 one, narrated by Sean Bean, really rakes poor Ronaldo over the coals for his performance in the final.
