Day 5 Podcast, Fatigue Edition: Six Games, Two Days, and an Earthquake

We’ve watched 10 games in 3 days, and boy are our eyes tired! But getting up at ungodly hours to watch (and tweet) the World Cup live from the Pacific time zone is a small price to pay for some amazing moments of global joy. Alan Minsky & Meleiza Figueroa discuss the six games of the last two days, including the literal earthquake of Mexico’s victory over 2014 World Champion team Germany; and how, in this European-dominated group stage, El Tri has become a ray of hope for much of the world in a time of heightened social and political tensions. We also discuss England’s late victory over Tunisia, Belgium’s new strategies, and Brazil’s diminishing potential for a big-time comeback from the most infamous World Cup thrashing of all time.
