The People’s Game EXTRA – Brazil’s Semi-Final Defeat 7/8/14

The world is in shock, and so are we – so much so that we need an extra podcast to make sense of today’s Mineracanazo – a stunning 7-1 defeat of the Brazilian national team, on home soil, in the World Cup semifinal against Germany. In this bonus podcast we feature an extended conversation with Francesco, an activist living in Brasilia, in which we unpack how we got to today’s result, and what the political economy of contemporary global soccer might have to do with it.
