Description

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: How does a 5-7-5 do against a 4-4-2 at the World Cup?

Haiku preview of Group G (Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon) and H (Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, Korea Republic). Tournament kicks off on November 20th!

Your host is Wright Seneres, soccer aficionado and podcast host (Princeton Spark, Effect Pedal, Hip Hop Movie Club).
