## Resource

Hello! This week, we have back on our World Cup and War Correspondent Patrick Hultgren to talk about sportswashing, why the USMNT hasn’t traditionally captured the public’s imagination, at least when compared to the women’s team, youth soccer in America and what Landon Donovan said, and the politics of patriotism about a sport we claim we don’t care about all that much in the States. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit goodbye.substack.com/subscribe
