In the first episode of this Hyperfocus FC mini-series, Simon Scott is joined by James Hepworth and Jack Hoban to revisit the 2006 FIFA World Cup — a tournament many fans consider the last truly classic World Cup.

From iconic kits, legendary players, and unforgettable matches to Germany's incredible atmosphere as host nation, the trio share their memories of a summer that helped define their love of football. Featuring discussions on Zidane's final tournament, Brazil's galáctico squad, England's Golden Generation, the Battle of Nuremberg, and one of the most famous World Cup Finals ever played, this episode is a nostalgic celebration of a tournament that still feels bigger than football.
