Summary
During this episode, your two sports-loving hosts take a look at the cultural and athletic phenomenon that is the FIFA World Cup. The hosts dive into exactly why Dr. Bourgeois is now interested in soccer, what are the qualities that has hooked him and millions of Americans into the tournament and to what degree is sports, as it is often said, a unifying force in the world and one for good. We discuss the action on the pitch as well as the cultural mash up that is taking place around the country as Americans are coming face to face with various national fan bases...and are loving it.
