Miguel and Lawrence are also the hosts of The Independent’s World Cup podcast, Copa Independent – it won’t just get you feeling the World Cup, but thinking about it, too. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
The World Cup is fast approaching. For the last few weeks, seasoned sports journalists Miguel and Lawrence have taken to the airwaves to wrangle some of the most important topics and questions looming over football’s biggest competition, from England’s spotty track record to the tense socio-political implications of Donald Trump’s involvement. On Copa Independent, they’ve been asking: whose fault is it that the World Cup is even more expensive this year? Will Thomas Tuchel be the secret missing ingredient that England needs to achieve victory? And was the 2010 World Cup really that good, or do we all just have a serious case of nostalgia goggles?
