YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When the World Cup kicks off in June, billions will turn their attention to games spread across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It’s an experience Roger Bennett likens to a solar eclipse, except the Earth is completely engulfed not in darkness, but by soccer. Geoff Bennett spoke with him about his new book, “We Are the World (Cup): A Personal History of the World’s Greatest Sporting Event."
