In the United States, soccer - as the Americans insist on calling the game - bobs in the wake of basketball, baseball and grid-iron football. Yet for a four-week period starting this Friday, the USA stages the greatest football show on earth.
From the Standing Room Only team comes this special on how the Americans are approaching the World Cup. Simon O'Brien travels from coast to coast in search of the unusual, while Blackburn and England defender Graeme Le Saux reports from the ghettos where the American authorities say they are putting in resources to find their footballing stars of tomorrow.
Shelley Webb visits Los Angeles, where the final will be played, and Alistair McGowan sneaks a look behind the cameras of our own Match of the Day. And there's a survival pack for disgruntled British fans who aren't going to the World Cup.

Let's Face the Music and Dance
Later this year, government legislation will come into effect that will outlaw many so-called "raves". But are these free festivals and parties really that dangerous? In this film, the Advance Party seeks to put the record straight, arguing that as a form of cultural expression, the right to party goes back thousands of years.

It is the late 1930s and some British households still eagerly await the arrival of electricity. When a pylon is erected in the garden, Morris's mother can't wait to show off her Swedish lumbago belt and toaster. But Morris is gripped by a deeper passion that will change his life - one that will not be illuminated for 50 years.
This darkly comic story of suburban family life in the north of England has a strong cast including Frances Barber ,
Jim Carter , Stephanie Cole , Bernard Hepton and Ronald Pickup.
Producer Tatiana Kennedy ; Written and directed by Richard Monks Stereo
