    Description

    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!

    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.) 22 Goals is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.
