The Game They Don't Want You To See: What the 2026 World Cup Really Means Beyond the Goals

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter. In six weeks, the biggest sporting event on the planet arrives in North America. MetLife Stadium. Ninety thousand fans. Flags from three nations. It will be electric. But Julius and Hale aren't here to sell you the highlight reel. They dig into what the cameras won't show: the Amnesty International report that barely made the news, Indigenous communities in Canada asking who gave consent, gentrification pressure in Philadelphia, Houston, and Arlington, and the $116 million in North Texas safety grants that raise more questions than they answer. This episode isn't anti-World Cup. It's pro-truth. The spectacle is real. So is the cost. And the communities that host it will live with the consequences long after the cameras leave. Your Move: Three ways to attend — or watch from home — with open eyes. Because being a witness is more powerful than being a spectator. — Reflect w/ Ed Fassio | reflectpodcast.comSend us Fan Mail Support the showLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES: https://www.reflectpodcast.com
