The World Cup is heating up as teams head into the quarter finals.
It has been controversial: immigration crackdowns, pricey tickets, and a cozy relationship between FIFA and Trump.
This week, host Jonathan Guyer (@mideastXmidwest) is joined by Alex Shephard (@alex_shephard), senior editor at The New Republic (@newrepublic) and co-founder of Golden Goal to discuss.

"The story of this World Cup is that the tournament is still bigger than the president, and it's still bigger than Infantino," @alex_shephard tells me on @PodcastNOTA.
"The tournament was surprisingly resilient to the Trump effect. Even though there was all this cloud of immigration issues, of ICE being at stadiums for security, of mistreating teams from certain countries or subjecting them to extra security, the World Cup itself has been, I think for the most part, a kind of celebration of multiculturalism, of diversity, of a country that is a diaspora — most people in the United States came here from somewhere else. And I think that this World Cup reflects that too."
"It will find ways to resist attempts to politicize and exploit it, as it always does."
It feels like American dominance is coming to an end.
But how is this moment viewed around the world?
Host @mideastXmidwest is joined by @mmschwartz, editor-in-chief of @thedialmag, to reflect on perspectives from Canada, India, Palestine, and more.
