Daniel Alarcón

I'm Daniel Alarcón, and this is my friend who's much more famous than I am.

I wouldn't go that far, but I'm John Green, co-host of the podcast The Away End with my old friend Daniel.

On our podcast The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.

Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

Better version of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Yes.

Yeah.

I'm Daniel Alarcón, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids.

My first World Cup was Mexico 86.

I was nine years old.

I watched every game and I fell in love.

I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty.

Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.
