I am joined by Aidan Williams, to discuss his new book The Nearly Men: The Eternal Allure of the Greatest Teams That Failed to Win the World Cup. In previous podcasts, we’ve covered the ‘usual suspects’ of Brazil ’82 and Netherlands ’74 and ’78, so here we look at the famous Mighty Magyars (Hungary) of 1954, along with a few others – Italy in 1990, Portugal in 1966, Argentina in 2014…

[Disclosure: Both Aidan’s and my books are issued by Pitch Publishing]
