Flying the Flag

Flying the Flag

By The New Statesman

Jason Cowley and Stephen Bush are joined by guest David Winner, the author of Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football, to discuss the relationship between the World Cup and national identity. They also look at the way the patriotism displayed by fans intersects with politics, particularly in England and Germany, and make their predictions for the rest of the tournament.

We'll be back with weekly episodes throughout the 2018 World Cup, so make sure you're subscribed in your podcast app so you don't miss out on more analysis and predictions.
