There’s nothing quite like a soccer goal.
As the 22nd Men's World Cup approaches in November 2022, this podcast takes a look back at the history of the World Cup, through the lens of 22 of the most iconic goals ever scored in the greatest sporting event on earth.
Listen along as The Ringer’s Brian Phillips leads you on a breathless tour of nearly a century of World Cup history—from triumphs to tragedies, and everything in between.
This is not a soccer podcast, it’s a history book on a rocket ship to the moon. (OK, fine, it is technically also a soccer podcast.)

A double-goal episode! Brian compares two of the most sublime moments in World Cup history: Argentina's elaborate team goal against Serbia and Montenegro in 2006 and James Rodríguez's stunning solo strike against Uruguay in 2014. Which type of goal better expresses the essence of soccer? We'll also discuss French swashbucklers, midfielders who hate running, and giant grasshoppers that may or may not come from outer space.
