What highlights from the World Cup are discussed in this episode?
The second captain's world service.
It is not war and death and famine. It's not that at all. It's the opposite of that. It's to persuade there's a world outside of that. That's why sport's important.
When you guys left us last, I believe, Brano had taken Ken by the hand and guided him into the middle of an insane Egyptian celebration party in Queens. Young and viral. After their first ever World Cup win, and the party has not stopped for the two boys since then. Welcome to your regular reminder of why you really should sign up to the World Service for the rest of this World Cup. This is good stuff. Ken's been assimilating very well into American soccer culture. Center halves. And into US society more widely. Sir, your case is five pounds over. That's $70. After that, Egypt watch party Ken and Browno continued on into New Jersey to feel the force of Erling Haaland in World Cup mode as they watched Norway beat Senegal 3-2.
And from there it was on to Miami, the city that befuddles Kennedy like no other.
I thought it was a two in the action. I thought it was a half two. It's a half. Oh, no. This is a fucking nightmare. Oh, my God. This is a disaster. Unbelievable. It's fucking.
Oh, no. The lads were in the stadium to see Scotland's dreams crushed by a Vinnie Jr. inspired Brazil. But the boys also had eyes for another Brazilian superstar. The love that these people have for Neymar was really apparent there. I mean, you had texted about, oh, look, Neymar is warming up. And I saw him down there warming up. And you could see the people all around. Brazilian fans down in that section were not watching the game.
How did Ken and Branno experience the celebrations in Miami?
We're just watching him and taking photos of him and waving to him and trying to get him to sort of respond to them. And he was kind of looking at the game and warming up in a fairly desultory manner. And I wasn't sure if he was just sort of... had gone down to have a walk around like you know um and then suddenly it was like i think 71 72 minutes there was there was this huge roar ah from the crowd like a huge war and i i my first thing was to look up the scoreboard because all throughout this game they've been showing um the haiti morocco uh score lines and goals uh so they but haiti's second goal looks like an absolute rocket at this yeah Unlabeled straight into the top corner, similar to the disallowed Uzbekistan one from the other day.
So lots of good goals flying in here. But Haiti, they usually preface these announcements with a little do-do-do, like an announcement jingle. And that hadn't happened. I looked up. There was no goal. And there's obviously nothing happening in the game. And then I looked down and I saw him standing there, the number 10. in his Brazil, his yellow shirt, although awful Brazil shirts, shorts, socks combo today. I hate when they're made to do this, where this washed out yellow, white, and white combo, and Scotland were in all dark blue, you know? And if you look at the 82, the classic Scotland Brazil, if you look at the classic game, Right, in 1982, what do we have? Scotland, blue shirts, blue shirts, white shorts, red socks.
Brazil, yellow shirts, blue shorts, white socks, right? What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that? Apparently the televisions can't handle or it's some weird TV. I asked Miguel, I was like, what's this? We were kind of both complaining. I said, why are they doing this? And he said, it's some TV thing. I'm like, well, like the TVs are like, the TVs show you better than real life now. You've got like, you know, you've got like 72 inches of like HDT, you know, Super 8K, whatever. You can tell like the difference between yellow and blue. The other thing is that it infringes on the ancient rules of heraldry, because anyone who knows anything about color knows that white and yellow in heraldry are metals, gold and silver.
And you cannot have gold on silver or silver on gold. It doesn't work. It doesn't stand out on the battlefield. You need to use it with the... You can only use a metal in combination with a color.
