Identity is weird. We draw lines across the land and say, you’re from there, I’m from here. How do you define a national identity?

Well, if you’re Croatia, you project the patriotic fervor from winning independence in a bloody civil war onto the soccer team and get third in your first-ever World Cup. 

The Best Soccer Podcast In The World is a bilingual podcast that tells your soon-to-be favorite soccer stories. The host, Nando Vila, will crack open some of the most iconic World Cup moments, putting them in cultural and geopolitical contexts. From legendary players to silly hairdos to heart-wrenching losses.
