Golden Generations (inbunden, eng)

Golden Generations: The Story of the 2006 FIFA Men''s World Cup tells the tale of one of the most action-packed international tournaments in recent memory. From Philipp Lahm''s extraordinary goal just six minutes in, to Zinedine Zidane''s infamous headbutt, it was a World Cup that had it all.

With all six confederations represented for the first time since 1982, there was a truly global feel to this World Cup. There were subplots attached to almost every nation at the tournament. Germany were in the midst of a rebuild, the Italians had the cloud of Calciopoli hanging over them and France and England were nearing the end of an era with their talented squads.

Even the debutant nations were filled with household names, from the Touré brothers and Didier Drogba with the Ivory Coast to Dwight Yorke dropping into midfield to captain Trinidad and Tobago. Golden Generations explores the plots and subplots that defined the 2006 World Cup, from the tournament''s beginnings to the legacy it left behind.
