It covers all the world cups from the 1930 edition which was held in Uruguay till the then most recent one in 1994 which was held in USA. It follows the stories revolving around the former world cup winners and the circumstances leading to their wins. The main protagonist of the story is an ex-reporter by the name of Brian Thompson.
