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.
Host: Brian Phillips
