Paul Howard watched every World Cup game – here’s what he learned
About this episode
Paul Howard shares insights from watching every World Cup game, discussing key moments and cultural implications.
For his hosting duties on America 2026 , the Irish Times podcast, Paul Howard watched every World Cup single match, even it was on at 4am and featured a no-hoper team in the tournament to make up the numbers. What did he make of England’s loss to Argentina? Why does he think the bloated half-time show featuring Shakira and Justin Bieber, planned for Sunday’s final, highlights just how much Fifa is enthralled to the US; and who will lift the World Cup when the final whistle blows on Sunday, Argentina or Spain? Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
