In association with Bonds Chafe Off Undies, The Agenda Podcast presents 'VERSUS' - a podcast series that delves into the sporting rivalries and frictions that have been etched into the history books...
Join Dylan Cleaver, ACC Head G Lane and Jason Pine as they dive into a World Cup Qualifier that caused serious friction... and also a war!
You know that thing where your favourite team loses and you say, “Oh well, nobody died”? It’s not always strictly true.
Football is the sport with a multitude of storied rivalries, from the sectarian angst of Glasgow’s Old Firm Derby to the class divide that fuels Buenos Aires Superclasico. Enmity between clubs and countries is a huge driver of the sport’s popularity.
With that comes a dark side, with violence between groups of supporters, often known as ‘Ultras’ or ‘Casuals’, often grabbing the wrong sort of headlines. While ugly, they rarely progress to anything above street-level skirmishes that can be patched up with a few stitches and a night in the cells.
Then there’s El Salvador versus Honduras, 1969...

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
