On episode 22 of The Away End, The World Cup brings people together, and that includes Daniel, John and Sean who, after many years or maybe just a year apart, find themselves reunited together again! John was watching the USMNT from Norway at 3 AM. Daniel was in Philadelphia's Fan Zone for Cape Verde's already legendary draw against Spain that may be the best defense yet for expanding the tournament even more in the future! And listener questions highlight the remarkable dives of the tournament, the age-old Alarcón vs. Jordan debate and what numbering the players means.
