Podcasts about World cup

National pride often comes from shared heritage—like a common language or ethnic background. Religious Nationalism can be seen in historical Russia, where being part of the Orthodox Church was considered key to being Russian, even if you spoke a different language, whereas Ethnic Nationalism is like modern Mongolia, where having the same Mongol background is what counts as national identity, even if people follow different faiths.—but for the small nation of Uruguay, that feeling of unity was forged not in a parliament, but on a soccer pitch. When the Uruguayan national team, La Celeste, stunned the world by winning the 1924 Paris Olympics, it was more than just a sports victory. That triumph created a profound, shared, and globally recognized national identity, transforming the soccer team into a powerful symbol that helped bond the country together in a way politics had struggled to achieve. Soccer’s ability to literally bring nations into existence has only grown with the growth and spread of the World Cup. Since 1930, the World Cup has become a truly global obsession. It is the most watched sporting event on the planet, and 211 teams competed to make it into the 2022 tournament. From its inception, it has also been a vehicle for far more than soccer. A tool for self-mythologizing and influence-peddling, The World Cup has played a crucial role in nation-building, and continues to, as countries negotiate their positions in a globalized world. Today’s guest is Jonathan Wilson, author of “The Power and the Glory: A History of the World Cup.” We look at history of the matches and goals, the tales of scandal and triumph, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, and the political and cultural tides behind every tournament. Jonathan Wilson details not merely what happened but why, based on fresh interviews and meticulous research. The book is as much about the legends of the sport, from Pelé to Messi, as it is about the nations that made them, from Mussolini’s Italy to partitioned Germany to controversy-ridden Qatar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cinco de Luncho kicks off in full chaos as Shaun Morash takes over and rolls out his list of 2026 sports events he already knows he does not care about. From total Dodgers fatigue to World Baseball Classic apathy, Rangers post Olympic burnout, and a World Cup take that lights the room on fire, the list instantly turns into a loud, hilarious argument about what actually matters and what is just being jammed down everyone's throat. The segment then bleeds into callers, Mets clubhouse leadership debates, Idiots With Idioms callbacks, and Patriots fans pushing back on the “easy path” Super Bowl narrative. It is classic Evan and Tiki madness where lists spiral, egos get bruised, and absolutely nothing stays on the rails.

Aaron Judge is officially revealed as the MLB The Show cover athlete for the second time in his career. The guys run through the full history of the game's cover athletes, react to Judge joining a very short list, and debate whether it means anything at all without another Yankees ring to go with it. Then the show completely veers off the rails with Cinco de Luncho, as Shaun Morash unveils his list of 2026 sports events he already knows he does not care about. Dodgers fatigue, World Baseball Classic arguments, Rangers post Olympic apathy, World Cup rooting rules, and Lindsey Vonn Olympic promos all turn into rapid fire arguments that only escalate as the list goes on. The hour keeps rolling with callers weighing in on Mets clubhouse chemistry, Lindor and Soto leadership dynamics, Idiots With Idioms callbacks, Patriots fans defending their Super Bowl path, and a deeper conversation about Sam Darnold, Seattle's rise, and why so many preseason takes aged poorly. It is a classic Evan and Tiki final hour where baseball, basketball, football, lists, and nonsense all collide at once.

Living life in threes is paying off for freestyle skier Kaila Kuhn. "All of the men in the world are competing triples. Whereas a maximum [of] eight to 10 women on the Olympic year are actually competing [in] triples," Kuhn said. "Triples" refers to the complexity of an aerial skier's jump. It's an elite-level move, and Kuhn successfully performed a full-full-full to win a recent World Cup event. The full-full-full involves three flips with 360-degree twists. Kuhn admits that "it's dangerous. It's scary. And there's a reason why not many of us do it." Triples are a standard maneuver for male aerial skiers. But Kuhn predicts only eight to 10 women at the Olympics will attempt one. She sees triples as key to winning gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. Kuhn was the youngest American to win an individual world title in aerials at the age of 21. She finished eighth in her Olympic debut at the 2022 Games. She transitioned from doubles to triples following her first Olympics. Perfecting triples puts her in line for gold in Milan at the age of 22. On this Dying to Ask: Harnessing fear. The role fear plays in preventing injuries and creating an edge How Kuhn mastered triples. How she perfected a complex move in water before trying it on snow The two stars of American aerial skiing are a real-life couple. How they've supported each other in this Olympic journey And read anything good lately? It's Olympic book club time.

I'm still not at ALIS — snowstorms and airlines had other plans — but that doesn't stop the conversation. This episode of #NoVacancyNews brings Day 2 coverage straight from Los Angeles. Our roving reporter is Bruce Ford, SVP at Lodging Econometrics, reporting live from ALIS while I hold down the Haussman Resort Pool Club & Smokehouse under about 10 inches of snow. Bruce and I talk through what keeps coming up in conversations right now — not panic, not optimism, but a sense that the industry has landed on a plateau and hasn't figured out the next move yet. We cover:

In this segment, host Pete discusses the World Cup coming to North America, addressing the recent calls for a boycott. He talks about a German soccer official and former FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, who've called for a boycott, but notes that these claims are often driven by social media and not based in reality. Pete also touches on the visa process for World Cup attendees and the misconception that many countries are banned from traveling to the US. He shares his thoughts on the potential attendance numbers and the economic benefits of the event for Kansas City.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: Things escalated fast in Minnesota this weekend after ICE officers fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and veterans' affairs worker, during a chaotic confrontation caught on multiple videos. Witnesses say Pretti was directing traffic and filming on his phone while trying to help someone else, and that his legally owned firearm had already been taken by agents before he was tackled. Federal officials initially labeled him a “domestic terrorist,” a claim sharply contradicted by video evidence and eyewitness affidavits. The shooting has triggered a major political and legal backlash. Minnesota officials say DHS and DOJ blocked state investigators from accessing the scene, even with a warrant, and the state has filed suit to prevent the destruction of evidence. Governor Tim Walz has ordered an independent investigation into both the killing and the federal government's public statements about it. The controversy deepened after Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter threatening not to end federal operations in Minnesota unless the state hands over Medicaid, SNAP, and voter data and rolls back sanctuary policies—moves critics call political extortion. Meanwhile, tensions are rising nationally. Protesters braved extreme cold across Minnesota, businesses staged a general strike, and more than 60 major Minnesota-based companies urged de-escalation. Additionally, the detention of a U.S. Army veteran observing ICE activity, the assault of Rep. Maxwell Frost, a massive sewage spill in Washington, DC, and renewed debate over vaccine mandates round out a very chaotic weekend. President Trump has largely praised federal agents' actions, even as his administration faces lawsuits, congressional infighting over ICE funding, and growing international criticism ahead of the World Cup.

Sorare appears to be in a quieter stretch of the season, and for many managers that can lead to something more impactful than losses: boredom.With limited opportunities to enter new competitions due to low card supply, uncertainty around what's coming next for the World Cup, and the idea of resetting strategies in January or February feeling less appealing than usual, engagement can naturally dip.In today's live stream, we'll discuss:• Why this phase can feel stagnant even if the game itself hasn't fundamentally changed• How boredom affects decision-making, motivation, and long-term planning• Whether these quieter periods are a normal part of Sorare's cycle• And if this moment encourages managers to look at other games alongside SorareThis isn't about criticizing the platform, it's about recognizing the risks of disengagement and thinking through how managers can navigate this stretch productively.Join the live discussion and share how you're approaching Sorare right now.

Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes know more than most about scoring goals. They also know a prolific scorer can be worth his weight in gold. Swansea City's Zan Vipotnik is the Championship's top scorer with 13 goals, while Kieffer's Moore's 10 goals for Wrexham ensures they are well in touch of a play-off place. And in League One, Yousef Salach has caught the eye in Cardiff City's rise to the top of the table. But if they had to choose, which one would they say is the best?But this week's podcast starts with the disappointing news of Ben Davies' likely absence from World Cup play-offs with a broken ankle, while Jordan James gives manager Craig Bellamy another potential scare with a hamstring injury.

Minnesota natives Luci Anderson and Margie Freed followed similar pathways as state high school cross country stars and successful collegiate skiers. Then both discovered biathlon. And just a few years later, both will make their Olympic biathlon debut at the Milano-Cortina Games this February. Anderson and Freed joined Heartbeat from the IBU World Cup in Ruhpolding on the eve of the Games.Freed, now 28, picked up the new sport while training with Craftsbury Green Racing Project after a successful career at University of Vermont. Going into the 2023 season, she borrowed a biathlon rifle and qualified for the European Championships, eventually having the USA's best IBU Cup finish that season. Now, she's a regular on the IBU World Cup.Meanwhile, Anderson, now 25, skied five seasons for the University of New Hampshire Wildcats, with six NCAA wins. Skiing with Team Birkie, she gave biathlon a try in the summer of 2024, qualifying for the IBU Cup at trials that October. She quickly got her chance at the World Cup.Both are examples of U.S. Biathlon's transfer initiative, finding experienced cross country ski racers who want to give biathlon a try. And both are products of U.S. Biathlon's Project X.With the Olympics in Antholz just around the corner, Anderson and Freed are excited about their opportunity. In this episode of Heartbeat, they talk about their unique pathways, share encouragement to others, and look forward to their dream of becoming Olympians with Team USA.PAST EPISODESLuci Anderson: Exhilaration of a New Sport - Jan. 2025Margie Freed: From XC to Biathlon - Nov. 2023

   Air Force One experiences electrical problems after takeoff to Switzerland and turns around to Andrews Air Base.  All is well but the big plane is grounded and Trump and the press had to take two different planes to Switzerland.  That's where Trump is expected to unload on the globalists and they may have already had enough after hearing from Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick the first day.    A famous sports reporter announces she is running for US Senate, this could work.  A young, uninformed, crazy liberal on CNN step in it big time saying it's provably true that Trump was part of a sex trafficking ring.  This could be a lawsuit... soon.    Jacque Vaughn wins for KU filling in for Bill Self at CU.  It looked just like a Bill Self win... great defense late and a couple huge baskets.  We update Self's condition as his return should be soon.    KC gets very good news about which World Cup teams will be based in our area.  A Chiefs player is selling his car online because he's broke after making $2 million this past season.  There is NFL news about a new schedule.  Former Royal Carlos Beltran is the leading vote getter and makes the baseball Hall of Fame while Alex Gordon gets only one vote.    Our Final Final is an incredible collection of historical documents coming to KC for America 250.
