On Episode 24 of The Away End, Daniel and John recap what we’ve seen so far and preview what’s to come including the USMNT’s prospects of making it to the Round of 16. They talk about surprises like the South American teams’ performances, Europe looking less dominant than usual, and how the African teams had nine out of ten teams advance to the Knockout Rounds. They discuss their brackets, of course, as well as their best player of the tournament so far, best performances, most disappointing teams, what they’ve loved so much that it shocked them and EVERYTHING they have been wrong about since the last time they were wrong about everything. Finally, we dip into the listener mailbag.

Two novelists, Daniel Alarcón and John Green, friends since they were teenagers, tackle questions big and small around the World Cup and international football more generally. The only soccer podcast that regularly name checks Toni Morrison, The Away End is about much more than sport: it's about politics, literature and culture, with an eye toward those moments and spaces where our collective love of soccer reveals something unexpected about who we are.
