Roger Bennett explores personal history with World Cup

Season 2026 Episode 49 | 6m 45s

When the World Cup kicks off in June, billions will turn their attention to games spread across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It’s an experience Roger Bennett likens to a solar eclipse, except the Earth is completely engulfed not in darkness, but by soccer. Geoff Bennett spoke with him about his new book, “We Are the World (Cup): A Personal History of the World’s Greatest Sporting Event."
