Ep22: What even is the World Cup?

This week on Grits and a Brit, Chris and Jay step onto the world's biggest sporting stage... and immediately start arguing about what to call it.Is it football? Is it soccer? And why does one word seem capable of starting an international incident?Join us as we dive into the cultural differences surrounding the beautiful game. From passionate British football chants to American tailgates, penalty shootout heartbreak to World Cup fever, we're comparing how two nations experience the same sport in completely different ways.Why do British fans sing for 90 minutes? Why do Americans need a parking lot party before kickoff? And can Jay survive an entire episode without correcting Chris every time she says "soccer"?Probably not.Expect laughs, culture clashes, strong opinions, and at least one argument that not even a referee could settle.⚽🇬🇧🇺🇸 Football, Soccer & Strong Opinions — only on Grits and a Brit. Because we're separated by an ocean... and divided by a sport.
