The Nearly Murdered Euros: 1980
Manage episode 423812182 series 3009964
UEFA had their tails up. They'd overseen quite possibly one of the greatest football tournaments ever bequeathed to the sport and now they believed they could make the competition even better by expanding the field.
It made sense: there were more than four elite countries in European football, and a more inclusive game surely made for a better one. Or so UEFA thought. What they actually did was nearly kill the competition before it ever truly got going.
00:00 – Introduction
00:35 – Road to Italia
09:30 – A
12:50 – B
17:50 – Knockouts
20:45 – In Conclusion
