What is the context of the World Cup's history?
Yeah, Maradona in 86, I mean, where do you even begin? What can you say about Maradona that hasn't already been said? He's black, he's not, but people haven't called him that, so. I'm telling you, no one, no one had it like Diego. There were talented players on our team, but we weren't allowed to do what he could do. It was like he were playing a different game. I remember trying to get the ball off him and you just couldn't because he just held on so tight. He was doing things with the football that we just couldn't. He was literally picking it up and bouncing it on the floor with his hands. You know, I put him up there with LeBron and Michael Jordan as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
Sadly, we were playing football.
You know, modern football, it's all about the system now, the team. It's not like the old days, the magic, where it was just about moving around, not even using your feet, just jumping up and punching it past the keeper. He had the left foot of Pushkas, he had the right foot of Pelé and the uppercut of George Foreman. Football has rules, and he did not stick to them, ever. I mean, he took the rule book, chopped it up, racked it into a line, snorted it. Unbelievable. What a player.
I don't know what drug he was taking, but he had cocaine all over his face. He was definitely the biggest inspiration in my life.
How did Jules Rimet influence the creation of the World Cup?
Thank you.
Welcome back to Finn vs History.
Joining me is Horatio Gould.
And today I feel African. I feel disabled. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel like being pegged by a trans man. That's me responding to comments on my Instagram reels. The long road to Gianni Infantino. The peak press conference. We're talking about the history of the World Cup. It's World Cup fortnight. The World Cup is on, I think, as this goes out.
I hope. That was the plan.
We'd be very stupid if it wasn't.
Because we would have just missed it. We've missed it. This might have been the end of the World Cup. The theme is over. Now the history of the World Cup.
We've completely ruined this. This is going out during the England test summer. and it's a four-part series we'll be joined by the upshot probably they're in our sphere i'd say i think so yeah of like i don't know just having a plan have a podcast that's researched but ultimately you still just talk about people being gay and autistic and pedos and pedos yeah it's paying a full-time researcher just to talk about the nazis pedos being gay yeah exactly that's the sphere if you can research everything else we'll just talk about how they're all pedos and gay and nazis okay yeah but they do that but for sport brilliant podcast they'll be in next episode but we're breaking the World Cup down to four parts I'll say now this is one of my favourites I think it's amazing doing the research yeah it's been sort of fucked from the from the beginning people talking about the World Cup has gone corrupt it's basically from the get go it was founded arguably the least corrupt it's ever been it's got less corrupt over time Qatar was the cleanest World Cup there's ever been it's crazy out the gate just pure evil pure evil
But founded on a mad promise. Yes. He wanted to make a pure World Cup. Who's he? Jules Rimet. Yeah. The guy who founded it, which we'll get to. Obviously, this story begins in, I'd say, my favourite time and yours, 1890s Europe. Don't pull that push off the gate.
Pulling me down with you as you traverse off the Golden Gate Bridge. We've hosted a podcast for a year and a half.
There's only so much distancing you can do now from this. I still love the cognitive dissonance you operate in. Yeah, no, he says some wild stuff.
What role did Mussolini play in the 1934 World Cup?
Yeah, he says some stuff, you know. You know, I'm allowed to leave some shots. Just because you're bowling doesn't mean that I'm you.
No, what's happened to your stamps though? So we start this story in the 1890s. Or rather, the guy that starts this story is a guy called Jules Rimet. A Frenchman, a mad Frenchman. Off his head. Off his nut. He's born in 1870s in a small village in France.
