Episode Notes
Brendan Hunt and Rebecca Lowe ride a roller coaster of emotions after Argentina’s dramatic extra-time win over World Cup Cinderella team Cape Verde, from Lionel Messi’s ridiculous opener to Sidny Lopes Cabral’s iconic 103rd-minute equalizer. Brendan and Rebecca salute the Blue Sharks on an incredible tournament and explain why their loss doesn’t actually feel like a loss at all. Then, Brendan ranks the upcoming round-of-16 matchups from least to most interesting, remaining as objective as possible as he prepares to fly to Mexico City and Seattle to take in the England and U.S. matches. Plus, ‘Ted Lasso’ star Cristo Fernández joins the pod to talk all things Mexico versus England, including the very … unique way England might be dealing with the altitude in Mexico City.
After the Whistle is an Apple News Original podcast presented by Verizon.
