The People’s Game Radio Show for Tuesday July 6, 2010
32 years later, Holland returns to the final with a more-thrilling-than-expected 3-2 victory over Uruguay. We speak with Uruguayan blogger Lazar Treschan, and a diehard Dutch devotee, Fernando Romero. Then, in our featured interview, we talk with David Goldblatt, author of The Ball is Round: A Global History of Soccer – having just returned home from South Africa, Goldblatt contextualizes the 2010 World Cup in the social, political, and cultural history of the global game. Lastly, co-host Jennifer Doyle registers her disgust with the ugly reality of the under-coverage of women athletes.
