The 1998 World Cup in France was a huge celebration for the home nation. France eventually became world champions for the first time ever after defeating Brazil in the final. Croatia played in its first World Cup tournament and surprisingly took bronze, with the team's star striker Davor Suker becoming the tournament's top scorer.

The summer of 1994, with the World Cup in the USA, became an enchanted Swedish football summer. Brolin, Dahlin, Ravelli and all the other bronze heroes created football fever throughout the country, and were celebrated at their homecoming by 50,000 people in Rålambshovsparken.

The 1990 World Cup in Italy was the first time since 1978 that Sweden had qualified for a championship. Expectations were high for Olle Nordin's national team, but it ended in failure. Some of the players who left their mark in the tournament were Cameroon's 38-year-old striker Roger Milla and Italy's unexpected top scorer Salvatore Schillaci.

The summer of 1994 is forever marked by the Soccer World Cup in the USA. Sweden took bronze and in squares and streets at home it was celebrated like never before. In this documentary series in four parts, we get to see how Swedish society was marked by this summer. We also meet players who set the tone in the Swedish squad who tell their story about the championship but also their lives.
