5/6. Italy: The Enemy Within. The Italian national team is no stranger to success: they won the Jules Rimet trophy twice under the shadow of Mussolini's fascism in the 1930s, and won a third World Cup, despite a corruption scandal, in the 1980s. But when Italy met Argentina in the 1990 World Cup semi-final, would the Italians unite in support of their team, despite former Napoli star Maradona playing for the opposition? Robert Lindsay narrates. Director/Producer Sally Thomson
