Welcome to Soccer FC: Fandom & Culture. This is an exploration of soccer fandom and culture for new fans. Because there’s more to soccer than what happens on the field.
This episode answers the question: Can Qatar make things worse? Also: Haiku recaps of the Round of 16 games. And why I felt like the United States’ games were like watching a loved one defuse a bomb.
Your host is Wright Seneres, soccer aficionado and podcast host (Princeton Spark, Effect Pedal, Hip Hop Movie Club).
