This week’s Video Of The Week is a piece of World Cup fluff from ITV’s build-up to the 2006 tournament in Germany. If you can mentally tune out the clichés from the voice-over and the more objectionable viewpoints of some of the talking heads, though, there is some interesting archive footage to be had here as well as, of course, a brief recap of some of the tournament’s more idiosyncratic stories. This programme features ten goals from the World Cup, including Archie Gemmill’s solo slalom through the Dutch defence in 1978, David Beckham’s last minute free-kick that sent England to the 2002 World Cup finals and Jürgen Sparwasser’s winner for East Germany against West Germany in 1974.
