The People’s Game Podcast #33 – 7/14/14

On today’s podcast, we collectively reflect on the World Cup on the day after the carnival, not entirely ready for it to be over. First, we speak to Elaine Teng, who talks about what it was like to be in southern Germany when the German national team won the World Cup. People’s Game Argentina correspondent Karen Anzoategui shares her reflections, as will correspondent Fernando Romero, who was in Brazil for part of the tournament with the Mexican national team. Finally, Alan and Meleiza share their summary thoughts on the 2014 World Cup: why they think socialism won at the end of the day, and how this year’s World Cup cycle confirms that soccer remains unique in the world as the people’s game.
