Brian revisits the first goal ever scored at a World Cup. We'll explore the origins of the tournament, palace intrigue between FIFA and the English FA, and the French factory worker who sailed across the Atlantic in 1930 to write his name in World Cup history. Also: how a virulent form of coffee fungus accidentally helped create the greatest sporting event on earth.
