In the finale of our five-part Pod series previewing the groups and teams ahead of the kickoff of the World Cup, Rog is joined by European Nights co-host Rory Smith to offer a two-parted perspective. First, Rory and Rog pick through the English relationship with the national team in general and the World Cup in particular, from World Cup glory and disappointment, to the evolution of Gareth Southgate as a figurehead. Then, Rory offers an outsider's view on the United States, how our football culture is seen from abroad, and what opportunities this World Cup offers to change that gaze. Presented by Camarena Tequila, the most awarded tequila.
