On Episode 29 of The Away End, Daniel and John celebrate Spain for their World Cup victory and try to make sense of a miserable game that no one will ever willingly rewatch. They also discuss what they obviously got wrong about the third-place game between England and France -- a game of no consequence that also happened to be the most entertaining match of the tournament. They reveal the winners of The Away End’s Bracket Challenge, and your questions bring us home!

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.
