This week we have The42's soccer writer Gavin Cooney in studio to answer some of the many questions surrounding this year's World Cup. Why Qatar? Who are the teams to watch? Is it really going to be a carbon-neutral event? We also examine the human rights abuses during the preparation for the tournament, and what Qatari authorities have said about LGBTQI+ rights.The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal.
