In this sneak peek to a bonus episode of It Was What It Was on Patreon, hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper are joined by Professor Matthew Brown (University of Bristol) to deepen the series on Andrés Escobar by tracing how Colombian history, political violence and the drug economy intersect with football. Brown rejects Gabriel García Márquez’s claim that three events defined 20th-century Colombia, while explaining why the 5–0 win over Argentina in 1993 became a tipping point for football as a national identity marker. The discussion covers football’s emergence alongside other sporting cultures, the role of sport after the 1948 Bogotazo and during La Violencia, and Colombia’s later shift into guerrilla conflict and cocaine trafficking. They explore cartel money’s social and sporting influence, the effects of Pablo Escobar’s death and subsequent violence, the symbolic damage of Colombia’s 1994 World Cup collapse, Copa América 2001, and how the 2014 team helped build trust during negotiations leading to the 2016 peace deal, while noting ongoing violence tied to the illegal drug trade. You can listen to the full episode on Patreon On Tuesday, Rob Draper and Jonathan Wilson return to round off the Colombia series and bring that story to a close. On Wednesday, on Patreon only, the co-hosts continue the World Cup countdown series with an episode on the 1962 World Cup in Chile, looking back at the tournament and some of its key moments. Then on Friday, also on Patreon only, we look back at when Northern Ireland faced Italy in the 1958 World Cup qualifiers. With Northern Ireland preparing for their 2026 World Cup play-off semi-final against Italy, Rob and Jonathan revisit the meeting where Northern Ireland qualified for their first World Cup and discuss the background to Ireland’s football split in the 1950s.

Welcome back to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. In this second part two of our three-part special on Colombian football and the tragedy of Andrés Escobar.

This episode explores the dramatic buildup to the match, the hostile reception faced by the Colombian team, and the extraordinary performance that shocked the football world. The discussion then examines the dangerous euphoria that followed, as Colombia began to believe that they could win the 1994 World Cup, and the dark realities of the narco state.

An emphatic start to the Lionesses' World Cup qualifying campaign with 2 big wins...but how healthy is their defensive line looking ahead of those crucial ties against Spain?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Carl Anka, Jacqui Oatley and Dominic King to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Saturday’s Six Nations clash between England and Italy. England suffered an historic defeat in Rome, losing to Italy for the first time after 32 previous attempts by the Azzurri. Does this shock result mark the beginning of the end for Steve Borthwick? We then turn to the start of the new Formula 1 season. Our reporter Craig Slater joins us from Melbourne to discuss just how entertaining the opening Grand Prix was, with George Russell taking the win. Then it’s on to the weekend’s FA Cup action, with Max Dowman lighting up the One Call Stadium with an exciting performance, becoming the FA Cup’s youngest-ever player as Arsenal advanced to the next round with a 2–1 win over Mansfield. With Arsenal still in all four competitions, we ask just how realistic a quadruple might be. Carl says he’ll eat his hat — and his shoe — if Arsenal pull it off. Staying with the FA Cup, City came from behind to beat Newcastle 3–1 at St James’ Park and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals and Dominic thinks Pep will end Arsenal this season with more trophies than Arteta. And it was Hollywood drama at the Racecourse Ground, where Chelsea beat ten-man Wrexham 4–2 after extra time. Next, it’s another win for England’s Lionesses, who beat Iceland 2–0 in a dominant display, peppering the goal with numerous chances. But with Spain in their World Cup qualifier group and only one automatic spot up for grabs, do the Lionesses need to be more ruthless in front of goal? We close out with a hot debate on Arsenal this season. With strong set pieces, own goals going their way, scrappy corner battles and rock-solid defending—but a noticeable lack of attacking flair—are Mikel Arteta’s side boring to watch?

It’s confirmed — Ireland are heading to Prague in March to face Czechia. Cathal is joined by OTB’s Colm Boohig to react to the news that Ireland will take on Czechia in the World Cup play-off semi-final, with Denmark or North Macedonia awaiting in the final. Paul Nealon from Irish Football Fan TV also joins Cathal to give his reaction and share what the past week has been like for him. Cathal and Colm also continue their mission to pick the best Premier League XI of all time — and this week, the right-back spot is up for grabs.
Jimbo's joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Benji Lanyado to round up a sensational midweek of international action - and look ahead to the return of domestic matters as the Premier League looms. Scotland fans are still revelling in the extraordinary events of Tuesday night as Steve Clarke's side booked their place at a World Cup for the first time in 28 years following their dramatic stoppage-time win over Denmark at Hampden Park. Laura Brannan was there - and joins us to relive the emotional scenes in Glasgow. Elsewhere, Wales put on a show in their 7-1 thrashing of North Macedonia to secure second spot and home advantage in the play-offs, which we have to wait until March to enjoy. Then it's all eyes on the weekend's Premier League action, including the small matter of Sunday afternoon's North London Derby. Can Tottenham win away at Arsenal for the first time in 15 years in the league? Can Eddie Howe break his dismal record against Manchester City when his Newcastle host Pep's men on Saturday evening? And can West Ham continue their resurgence on the road at Bournemouth!? All that plus BMW's, handsome Rob Edwards' first game as Wolves boss - and Nuno's love of horses.

Wow. Just wow. Troy Parrott takes the headlines once again! Musa and Ryan chat about his amazing hat-trick in Budapest to take Ireland to the playoffs for the 2026 World Cup, ahead of Hungary. They also chat about DR Congo’s penalty shootout win, which saw them qualify and means Nigeria will miss the tournament once more. Then, it’s onto England’s perfect qualifying campaign (16:04), plus a discussion about the weird discourse that continues to surround Jude Bellingham (21:22), a defence for a player that should be celebrated and reasons why an England qualifying campaign isn’t allowed to be routine and calm.

And Norway make it 8 wins out of 8 as well with a stunning 4-1 victory at San Siro against Italy.
