DESCRIPTION
On politics and football.
Alex is joined by Karl Sharro, Juan David Rojas, Tim Abrahams, and Euan Marshall to pick over the stories of this World Cup.
If the World Cup is a branding exercise for the hosts, what exactly is the USA selling here? And Mexico? Canada?
Are conspiracy theories good, actually?
Is Argentina evil? Should you support the global South against the colonisers?
Are evangelicals responsible for Brazilian failure?
Do you need central planning to become good at football?
When 23% of players at the WC are foreign born, how can globalisation be ending?
