Listen "14 | Giovanni van Bronckhorst (2010)"
Episode Synopsis
Brian discusses the special charms of the long-range bomb. What makes long-distance goals so thrilling? Why are they more fun when they're scored by players who rarely take a shot? We'll discuss Giovanni van Bronckhorst's screamer against Uruguay in 2010, soccer stars who are also Maoist radicals (until they appear in McDonald’s commercials), and whether words are a useful way to describe soccer goals. Also: a trip to the dentist!
